gotta admit, the space stuff seemed nice enough - but this?

This seems like needless complication to the system.

Is there any update on the status of the expansion?

Hehe this is a great april first post

I have a few questions for the achievement - hope someone here can answer it. Tried looking around, but there doesn't seem much information on it

Right, only 111 crafting actions. Some crafting actions produce two or more things, still only counts as one crafting action.

Question 1: Does mining ...

I don't like the idea of bugs able to cross water - the natural barrier that offers is a life-saver for most of my games.

water crossing bugs.. oh please gods no

So... I was thinking. Why should I absolutely have to sit around and wait for my dinky modular armor's solar panels to recharge things, when I have a huge solar farm powering everything else

I tried googling a bit - maybe I didn't use the right search terms - but I found nothing.

My idea is simple ...

so... at E3 this was just introduced:

looks an awful lot like a factori clone, just in 3d, and with the player being in first perseon.

thoughts?


EDIT: I hadn't seen the last friday fact update - didn't know that the devs already knew about this

Ok, I've finally had time to test this.


I can't seem to get my accumulator to output a proper signal.


if i have an accumulator next to a water pump, and connect them with red wire - then the accumulator claims to be outputting a signal from 100 to 0, based on its charge level. It uses signal A ...

Just put a accumulator next to an offshore pump. Connect the pump with a red or green wire. Set the pump to enable if A<10 or whatever you choose. A is the accumulator charge and the pump will only enable if it drops below 10%. Connect all your pumps like that with the same wire or another accu ...

Heyo

I have a nice big ol' factory, loads of accumulators, and huge solar farm that covers all my daylight power needs and then some, and then a solid backup of boilers/steam gens

however

when nightfall comes, its the steamers that kick in - not the accumulators. I want that to be the other way ...

I'm familiar with this problem - sort of

My solution is usually to go big very early - basically spread out your factory to a HUGE early on.

Sure, it'll make bug-attack response tricky (that's what auto-saves and gun turrets are for - also concrete roads and cars) but it'll mean that you can cram ...

interesting things... interesting info

but

*deep breath*

0.15 stable when?

Good that the water edge thing is getting fixed - I've been hoping to see that for a while

but I am sad to see the release of U15 be pushed another week

LeafyIsHere - a shittalking youtuber with 4.3 million viewers - just had a view up where, among other things, talked about his recent addiction to factorio

brace for an upsurge in new users

.15 stable release soon?


YES!

well depending on the polution levels...

while a nice milestone...

...any news on .15? release date? wut?

I needs my stable .15 release!

as long as they new hotkeys are rebindable - then this looks really good


...though, the lack of any "and we expect .15 to go live in X amount of time" was sad

Anyway, right now in the game you go weeks if not months on end, day and night, with no sleep and nothing to eat.


Interesting. That's how I play the game too...

doesn't mean that you should encourage it :p


but fair enough

and I wouldn't mind if it came as an option - but I would like the ...

I searched - and didn't find any threads on this... maybe my google-fu is weak, but who knows?

I'm suggesting three simple 3x3 buildings:

one would be an open-air farm plot. Needs a ...
