I was just catching up with https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-224 and it got me thinking, but the thread for it is huge and locked. It is sort of asserted that no amount of reducing bots makes them less powerful than belts, but I'm not sure I agree. There are performance considerations but also...

Something I like about my approach from the list above, instead of it being a blueprints thing, particularly as it's such a late game feature, is how tricky it is, how you have to describe exactly how to self replicate, how local to different parts of the factory it is, instead of being god like pla...

+1 for long range robot cannot

Let defeated players play as biters and their bases :) or just specific groups of them. And/or allow other players to recruit these ghosts to play assisting them, with a new type of turret that has to be individually ghost player controlled, and so relies on a good player darting around the map to b...

I like the way that right now research eventually caps out and various sorts of clever/optimum defense choices can be reasoned about and iterated on, the rules not then constantly changing as research happens. On the other hand, endless research would be cool in late game. A compromise could be to m...

Mod Idea: Faulty Planet Various options to select as you make a new world, or if this is not possible, that are available to trigger within a short time of starting a new world. These options are challenges that make the game harder. Faulty Sun: Mid way through day 1 the sun (day/night cycle) flicke...

I found Factorio took hundreds of hours to complete anyway. Mind you my factorys been through various redesigns, and I still consider it kinda suboptimal.

Factorisimo is making for a nice end game

Thanks

Can a potential sounder, as mentioned in the blog post, be quite low level with samples read in and then played on instruction when as many samples as desired are loaded, as well as simpler midi like note signals? Circuit networks seem as if they could easily produce triangle waves for example. This...

Because of the game like feeling of dynamics of the old one, as if there was fluid pressure behind it, aiming, pulsing to shoot nearby and less so to build up momentum to shoot up to full range, etc... The new one feels more like hovering a mouse cursor over the enemy you want to hit.

As I thought, somtimes desert, as well as various visually similar sorts of biomes, are adjacent to or even covered by snow But isn't that red Lava block on the diagram a bit long left/right wise?

This update occurred somewhere after 0.13.0 and before or in 0.13.13

I used the non steam version then the steam one, I don't know at what version I started using it, the non-steam Factorio is no longer installed. Steps to reproduce are just that I mouse over any in-game building built in the world, including inserters and belts. Maybe this was not set up when I firs...

Yes, embrace the fractal or the pollock if you prefer, I think that artist said that strokes of different scales make it into his work, presumably for similar reasons.

An advanced late game building, the "constructing" inserter, a working name. Is a small but significant step in the direction of fully automated factory construction. --- Basic Idea A slower but even smarter variant on the smart inserter, that can be configured manually or instructed with ...

Some solar to run speed beacons clustered around the oil might work, then turning the oil into solid fuel for the steam engines. Ore seams, presumably including coal now do increase in richness over distance from starting area. It's still more and more of a mining expansion building grind. I've alwa...

TY

At fully zoomed out without pressing "m"?

Presumably that'll be quite obvious soon then.

And new chunks = new places on the map that were black on the "press m" map.

Thanks Thats excelent news

Anyone know how quickly this increases? I havn't been notincing but I guess that has helped a lot!

Please can mining richness (recourses per tile) increase with distance away from the starting area? I'm spending so much time on mining expansions at the moment and more and more electricity defending them. Which has been fun making them neat and efficient and efficent to make, but I kinda want them...
