Re: Friday Facts #352 - New website

I have the exact opposite, i prefer dark theme because its easier to read long texts with it. Unless you're reading in a dark room, a dark theme is actually legitimately worse for your eyes. What you need is a theme that matches the ambient lighting of the room you're in. And for those of us that a...

Re: Friday Facts #352 - New website

One concern I have is that some of the images you show imply the new design is going to be a lot more "dark theme" (ie very bright text on very dark background) than the current design, which (FFF pages aside) is currently mostly "bright text on middle gray" or "middle gray...

Re: Friday Facts #349 - The 1.0 plan

I think there may be some who will play both Cyberpunk and Factorio at the same time, but the games are different enough that it should not be an issue. This is some really strange logic to me. You seem to be implying that most people only like one single kind of game which is simply not remotely t...

Re: Friday Facts #297 - New resource icons

Agreed, though whole numbers do make sense as an alternative in some situations, like with US dollars. Why bother dealing with floating point errors when you can just store everything in pennies? Completely solves that problem. I think there might be *some* situations were you don't necessarily hav...

Re: Friday Facts #289 - Character GUI

I have written specifically about "people complaining that the new UI looks bad". That's not the same. Regardless of the rest of it you are telling the developers they shouldn't listen to people who disagree with you simply because they have a different view of things than you. That's a r...

Re: Friday Facts #289 - Character GUI

Personally i'm the opposite. Bright screen irritates my eyes and i favor dark themes whenever possible. It also causes the famous dark under-eye-patches for people for being exposed to bright lights hours and hours a day. But it shouldn't be too hard to some point later make UI color themes customi...

Re: Map generator select start area and preset

Also I would like to have an option to manually select spawn location once you generated the map preview. I could be remembering things incorrectly (it's been months since I recall reading that) but I believe that the seed you use is actually the spawn location. From what I recall reading awhile ba...

Honestly it's kinda surprising that it hasn't been added yet seeing as it should be ridiculously simple compared to most things they do in a given update. Good to see it's been suggested and heard by the devs at least though.

Re: Friday Facts #286 - Pollution cleanup

Also, if you don't like them, you can turn them off. Yeah, they're not exactly a big deal if you disable them. Which is exactly what I do since I don't find them to really add anything myself. Though this does bring up a tangential subject for me: Is there any plan to allow us to save world presets...

Re: Friday Facts #265 - Nomenclature & Steam networking

Name the action a player performs when they add a ghost entity to the world? Honestly? " Plan ". The whole "ghost" concept is a silly internal-name leak. Ask anyone who never played factorio what a ghost is and they most definetly won't start talking about construction plans. Be...

Re: Friday Facts #260 - New fluid system

Even with pressurised pipes the first out gets more output. You might be thinking of pipes in your home where you can turn on all the sinks and they all get water. That is because each sink only allows a fraction of the water out. Even then when you turn on the cold water in the basement the shower...

What behaviour would you expect on a system like this?

Re: Today's forum skin update

The funny thing is that I usually either let the zoom level as is, or zoom out (for always more content at once on my screen). I admit it's a 27" though, so writing is not too small. Would be trickier on a 24". For me it depends entirely on the site. If it's a site where zooming in blows ...

Re: Today's forum skin update

You have to scale the content down even more to fit phones. Similarly you have to scale the content up to fit 1080p/1600p/4k displays as to not have > 50% of the display be useless whitespace. Usually at those resolutions you also need to upsize the font size anyways. I use a 2560x1440 monitor as m...

And an option to forbit blueprints you didn´t made in a game by yourself. While I wouldn't be against an option to automatically do this, you do realize you could actually do this yourself simply by giving blueprints for a given save a prefix, right? Not as good as an actual option but nonetheless ...
