1. pump speed of 1200/s is enough for most purposes I've found.

Funny statement in topic about transportation of large volumes over long distance.


In a significant number of cases players who aren't megabasing are going to create their entire refinery before ever running into the pump fluid ...

My main gripe with the new fluid system in 2.0 has been that it's essentially made pipes have infinite throughput (obviously it's still limited, but it's effectively infinite for all practical purposes).

Really? For all practical purposes? Lets take very practical purpose from this topic ...

Each has its own purpose. Pipes are good for spaghetti/bus bases, fluid wagons for city blocks. There is no need to force either way over another.

It seems to me the power of the flamethrower turret trivializes every other defensive tool in vanilla. It will instawipe anything even without upgrades. Is there any chance it's nerfed, even by raising it's fluid usage?

It seems to me that you just do not have enough experience. Try extreme ...

Just another quality rebalance suggestion without understanding the real reason behind "legendary or nothing". And as all other it will not change anything. But you may spend 5 minutes to create trivial mod, that implements your idea, and see yourself.

Looks like this suggestion is specific to your own quickbar configuration. Suggestions like these are better suited for a mod than for inclusion in the base game. There are several mods for manipulating quickbar in different ways. Maybe you should try them.

Factorio doesn't have a defined concept of a "world". What one player means by "world" can be very different from what another player means.
Current system is more flexible. If someone needs to organize saves by worlds/playthroughs, then he can just use name of world/playthrough as prefix and ...

"Tips and tricks" on your screenshot looks incomplete. There should be a separate section "Space platform". "Orbital logistics" and several other topics should be inside this section and not in "Quality" section. Also section itself has a short animation with all basics, that you need.

It was tough before the SA. It’s hard not to get it these days.

Maybe players should realize that SA is not SE? What is good in SE, with its grind and hundreds of mostly identical planets, should not be blindly copied to SA.

Energy is cheap. Initial cost is paid only once. Crazy productivity value for a lab (machine on the very top of most production chains) will overweight any energy and starting material cost.
Btw, machines without module slots are not affected by beacons at all. This hurts this lab much more than ...

> It feels balanced
No.

> And is it technical possible?
Yes.

You could spent a few minutes asking any AI to create such a simple mod.

Longer range allows some creative uses of flamethrower turrets. Which extends their usefulness beyond trivial defense on Nauvis. You are not using them these ways? No problem, just use normal quality FT, they are more than enough for your usecase.

What about https://mods.factorio.com/mod/ReloadModsRedux ?

Nonetheless, it is still a huge bonus. Should there really be such a huge bonus?
In my opinion - no. I'm satisfied with the current balance. So I do not like idea of preserving quality through seeds at all.
However from all suggestions to balance starting idea, this one looks the most appealing ...

This doesn't really solve the issue.

Depending on what we consider issue. If "preserve quality from seeds but keep existing balance in the same time" then no solution can handle it. If "let it improve odds but not to full legendary without any puzzles" then proposed solution looks good for me ...

Very good solution.

I love to go on the attack; I hate and despise defending because my base tends to grow large. The building and deconstruction of walls and turrets is... annoying.

Then just attack. It is quite simple, if you destroy every nest in polution cloud, then there will be no attacks. Works even in ...

I have both 1.1 and 2.0 versions on my linux. First one I use to play nullius mod, which has no 2.0 version. Just for sure, launched it and checked, that I can install any other 1.1 mod through in-game mod portal. No additional steps are required.
Just in case, factorio has native linux version. Use ...

I've tested a Playthrough Marathon-Deathworld with these Settings ( plus Deathworld Settings for Gleba , currently Gleba is unaffected by Deathworld ) and was quite happy with the Experience.

So what? Have you tested your proposition with at least 100 random players and control group?
I have ...
