I don't understand some of the negative takes. To me, these takes come across as highly pessimistic... un-grounded, and unhelpful. 1. They literally say in the FF that not all products spoil... To quote directly: " To avoid this mechanic being over the top and to allow meaningful decisions to ...

I don't like the new mechanic because all the products, including science packs themself, spoil and inherit spoilage, and that affecting final science level. Also, spoilage of packs will be inconsistent if any slack and invariants are present in the production chain, basically all this means that to...

are you absolutely sure about your assertion? i can promise you ive been on-board with factorio far longer than you, and i absolutely love the devs of this game. Guess what? Despite what you think, its actually ok to be critical of things and still love them. you have been taught that you either ha...

I concur with some of the others, when they mentioned that trains should slow down when going up a ramp. Going uphills can certainly impact speed, and I'd imagine it should translate here as well. Factorio is not about realism. There was a reply by developer in this thread on earlier pages. Megabas...

First, I've never been more excited about any blog post in a FFF ever! But I'd like to make a quick note that after looking at provided videos very closely for some time in pure amusement, I've noticed that there is a problem with shadow casting now, limited by either engine or artists manual labor ...

What’s the matter guys? Quality hate does not age well with every new week?
Or i guess there will still be people who will try to find a needle even in this blog post?

I guess my main mistake was to seriously try proving to delusional people that they are delusional. Fighting windmills, happens. Oh, I've tried discussion. I've posted arguments. I've explained the system to those who couldn't read it from the blog post. I've explained that it's not intended to be u...

I'll give you more arguments to consider, all in terms of opportunity cost. 1. Even if a feature is optional, it has a knock-on effect on all future features simply because it's there. 2. Even for unrelated features, their interaction with the quality system will have to be taken into account. What...

As you are ultimately arguing on a topic of your original first post, I'll reply to it instead of trying to convince you that it is indeed a proper defense to say it's optional against some delusional players who can't figure out common sense . 1. I don't like is that it's essentially another tier s...

Edit: Two more Questions. 1) This is all about normal Quality Modules Tier 1 - 3. But what about Legendary Quality Modules? (Used in the video in the factory on the right https://cdn.factorio.com/assets/blog-sync/fff-375-quality-production.mp4 ). Legendary is said to have an effect of + 150%. Is th...

- Quality will be main game feature.

Also you are completely delusional here. The Expansion will have much larger and more complex features than this, and I'm looking forward to the amount of tears those announces will bring to newbies faces, if such a small system brought such a butthurt.

1. This is not vertical upgrade, nor is it horizontal. 2. The visuals are bad. 3. Adds nothing to the game, but a headache. 4. Ruins blueprints sharing. 5. Sabotages playerbase. 6. Completely wrong style. 1. This is vertical upgrade. Your take about legendary belts just tells me once again you can'...

2) I can agree with you gameplay wise that 25% is fine. But I can not agree with you "story"-wise it is. It just does not feel right, that the highest quality machine, that is using highest quality material will only produce 25% of perfect output. - Sames result different story: It would ...

< tons of questions which have all been answered in the original blog post, i wonder how our civilization will advance when people will learn to read and carefully look at provided videos > 1) Tier 3 quality module is 2.5% chance. Tier 3 quality module of legendary quality is 2.5 * 2.5 = 6.25% chan...

"Its optional, but actually it mandatory!" It is optional if you are a casual who just wants to complete the "storyline". It is mandatory if you want to go bigger or more efficient. What's the problem with reading what you've quoted? My post says exactly that. If you dislike the...

1. Answering "It's bad" with "It's optional" is not the defense you seem to think it is. 2.And that seems like a good thing to you? Answering "It's optional" is a clear and quick relief resort for bringing the hate down. I'm not judging people who won't use this powerf...

I will not play game with gacha/lootbox names in it Yes, I am deeply allergic to this theme. I'm not sure if it's a weekend day at the circus today, or can you please delete the base 1.1 game from your Steam account and log off forums, because 0.7% U-235 chance already exists there in nuclear chain...

That's not a "reality check". That's a "your opinion". That was a reality check. "Your opinion" is that it's "my oppinion" that everyone would still buy, because the game is great and will have tons of new content apart from this quality system. There is stil...

The complaints are because for those that don't like it, this would be seen as a waste of their money for a feature that they then won't use. Really? Waste of your money? Reality check: every single hater will still buy the Expansion even if it will cost 50 bucks, because objectively game is great ...
