Re: Friday Facts #380 - Remote view

Even if you have the logistic robot tech already, the 'instant rotate' will remove the feeling of being 'cut off' from a remote part of the factory, needing to travel there personally if you failed to set up enough logistic robot infrastructure. Or, even if you do have the infrastructure there, the...

Re: Friday Facts #375 - Quality

Makes me think of real-life semiconductor manufacturing. There's a fairly high defect rate, and the different price tiers of product are based on random chance. The best chips get the highest performance, slightly defective chips get bumped down, and most chips get recycled.

Re: Mouse-Over Item in Inventory Highlights Logistic Request (Hovering Logistic Filter Slot)

Oh an original thread was made by someone named 'Scottathew'

And as King Henry VII once said, "Two Scotts alike share a thought, true and good it must be to manifest in ye crafting play"

Reverse blinking in inventory

TL;DR Highlights relevants buttons when hovering over item in inventory. What ? When hovering over a logistics slot or crafting button, any existing items in your inventory start blinking. My suggestion is to also include the reverse. When hovering over an inventory item, show the relevant logistic...

Re: Friday Facts #367 - Expansion news

Exchange rates have changed since Factorio was released. 30 euros plus tax would place it at 50 AUD, where the base game costs 42 AUD.

Re: Friday Facts #367 - Expansion news

Very intriguing! That floating brain is horrifying but I can't stop looking at it.

How much do you think will be revealed in future Friday Facts? I love getting technical details about Factorio to help with my own game development, but I also want to go into this expansion as blind as possible.

Re: Friday Facts #365 - Future plans

Read through the thread so far- lots of stuff I agree with on my 'wishlist'. Most critically is a 'guiding hand'. I love the freedom of solving small puzzles, because I rarely have the focus or motivation for big ones. It's perfect in Kerbal Space Program that uses a contract system. "Position ...

Re: Friday Facts #365 - Future plans

Great stuff!

I'll guess this will probably go in the same trajectory as RimWorld's post-release content. Factorio has such an amazing modding community, so I'm sure the big design question will inevitably be "What can we do as the original developers that can't be achieved with mods?"

Re: Friday Facts #257 - NPE/Campaign update

I also thought about being able to enter the escape pod just like you can do with the car, I just didn't bring it up to anyone who can make it happen yet. Maybe? :P Fast Travel! Just like in RimWorld where you can use the somewhat expensive rocket-launched escape pods to travel across the planet in...

Re: Friday Facts #220 - The best Friday Facts ever

The artillery train is absolutely epic, but from those videos it kinda feels like a mere "click and make explosions happen" enabler. The map provides a tangible link between gun and explosion by showing projectiles moving, but zooming in at the target destination the explosions just sorta....

Re: Friday Facts #135 - Getting Organized

Will that turret be a flame-ball launcher, or the traditional flamethrower? http://i.imgur.com/6K8NAsh.png http://i.imgur.com/r4xayA8.png Both have their merits though I'm inclined towards flameballs because flameballs, and also because in games they usually feature splash damage and a lingering fir...
