You folk are not reading the CPU percentage correctly. When top shows 100% CPU usage, that is a single core fully utilized. If a program utilizes multiple cores, the usage will go over 100%.

Below 20% means factorio is barely using the CPU.

It is a bug. Notice also how the terrain suddenly changes at the chunk edges around the starting area. This clearly shouldn't happen, but I've seen a few reports of it.

The change I am suggesting would make it consistent with how inserter filters work. Higher values are prioritized. That is not how filter inserters work. Just like assemblers, they do not prioritize higher values (see attached pic) but go by the order the signals appear in crafting menu. Any reason...

To reiterate, these changes would not affect planned or existing builds that use quality, and it would not affect builds that do not use quality. It would not change the complexity of builds - everything remains. This is not true, it absolutely would break existing builds. I have plenty of single-a...

Fwiw I don't recall combinators allowing you to choose which wire to use for output. They allow you to choose which wires to use for inputs. Of course they could be made more useful too..

TL;DR The warning icons (e.g. for missing power) can be annoyingly large. Give us an option to scale them and/or downscale them when zoomed in. What? Here's how the warnings currently look: factorio-warnings.jpg Those icons obscure a lot of the entity they warn about. It would be nice to either hav...

Similarly, it would be nice if you could choose whether recipe is read from green or red or both.

I can't comment on the other aspects of the game except quality (I still haven't left the starting planet). I really like quality so far! Just like fluids or trains, it's a new thing that gives you something cool but comes along with some new logistics challenges. For me Factorio is all about having...

TL;DR Increase light radius and power at higher quality levels. What ? Darkness can be annoying. Lit bases can be nice. Dropping lights and the required electric poles for them all around your base can be annoying, especially as they just get in the way while you expand, and tend to require constan...
