Re: Come up with new infinite research

Add infinite evolution, biters can gain health without a hard cap. Now all infinite military tech has a purpose.

Re: Friday Facts #354 - Launch party and HR power switch

WHAT. the power switch is hollow? all this time I thought it was a big solid piece of metal making the connection.

To be frank I don't like it now.

Factorio Paper Cuts

Given that Wube is on the race for the 1.0 release I thought about sharing my list of petty annoyances with the game, with luck some of them are trivial to fix, sort of like a paper cut bug . I want to encourage everyone to find more, it has to be an annoying usability issue that hopefully is also t...

Re: Logistics robots should not remove repair packs from roboports

You're not supposed to put repair packs in roboports, those slots exists so construction robots can land without having to put the repair pack back in a chest.

Re: Are Bitters unnecessary?

My simplest idea for make biters less boring in the late game is to add infinite evolution. Remove the evolution cap, instead of adding new biters once you reach the behemoth stage they just increase their resistances to physical, laser and fire damage, so long there's still pollution. You gotta kee...

Re: Friday Facts #316 - Map editor Lua snippets & Non-colliding Biters

fully support this change in biter pathfinding, it looks soo much better! would you devs also consider removing biter collision with trees as well? I find unnatural how biters get stuck and confused by forests, it's their native environment! Behemoths walking through trees might not look right, but ...

Heat exchanger: "No fuel"
I going to second this, I spent a significant time trying to figure out why not all my heat exchangers were working, but in the end they were generating steam just fine, is just that the status message is unreliable.

Either fix the status or remove it.

oh let's be creative, how about the timer shouldn't reset if the train doesn't physicaly leave the station?

I understand what's happening, but it's unexpected to the user that doesn't know the internal logic of the train network.

[0.17.69] Train time passed condition resets if there's no enabled stations to go

So if I setup a train schedule with a time passed condition (like in the image), once the condition is met, if there's no enabled stations to go the timer resets and starts again. I find this kind of odd, I would expect that once the timer runs out, it will stay that way and the train will depart as...

Re: Friday Facts #309 - Controversial opinions

I feel like biters are too aggressive early game and too annoying late game. Early game you can't explore around at all because you can't walk two steps without a biter nest attacking you on sight. The aggro range is also too binary, the player doesn't have any feedback about how close you can trail...

Re: Was 0.17.7 biters nerfed already?

And on the release of 0.17 I've been reading some people complain about the biter difficulty so I was expecting it to be very hard. People complained of the difficulty of the introductory campaing , that spawns waves and waves of biters at the end of it. The difficulty in freeplay hasn't changed re...

Re: Player Power Curve vs Biter Power Curve imbalanced

The game is not meant to be a combat simulator (standard RTS game). It's fully intended that the player is more powerful than the biters and eventually they become something you don't need to think about and allow you to focus on just the factory portion of the game - the main portion of the game. ...
