Godspeed Wube!!

Do you plan to update the Merch offerings? Especially the Factorio mug would be greatly appreciated.

Nice one, even though I am not completely sold on the sound blending between idling motor and revving one, it does not sound completely natural to me, but it can be just me. 🤷‍♂️ But there is one quality-of-life improvement related to sounds that I would really love to see in the 2.0 game - it is an...

they already said no. i think this oughtta be removed to "Won't Implement".

Maybe I am missing something but devs didn’t say no. There were also another solution proposals (like shortcut, etc.).

So please don’t be so quick with jumping to conclusions.

That’s why I suggest to at least add posibility to map a keyboard shortcut for sound mute/unmute.

And would it please be possible to at least have a key binding for "Mute"?
It could be unset by default so users won't mute game by mistake, but other users could map it themselves if they wanted.

Detecting when a window is in focus or not is (apparently) a non-solved problem. Some operating systems with some drivers and some situations may have a program in focus but from a code perspective it never gets the "focus gained" and so the code thinks "not focused" and all kin...

Call me an incurable optimist..

because you can solve the problem without Wube having to spend time on it. It's called "User experience". 🙂 Lots of things could have been actually left out from the game, but in fact are there just because Factorio developers care for user's experience and quality of life. This proposal ...

or, use some radical self determinism and look up how to do it your own way: https://superuser.com/questions/347674/win7-mute-sound-in-mixer-for-particular-application-by-keyboard-shortcut teach a gamer to fish and they can make keyboard shortcuts for any number of games..

True, it would be nice if most of major OSes supported this feature.
But until then many game developers decided to support this feature from within the game itself.
It would be nice if Factorio could be among those games.

I learned to play Factorio completely without sounds because of this. I used to turn the sounds all the way up/down each time when switching to/from Factorio, but it has become so tedious that I am now playing completely without sounds all the time. It's a pitty that I don't get to enjoy all the gre...

That will be in the 1.0 release

I see, thanks for clarification.

No nuke today?

bumpity bump...

Looks really amazing. But maybe the best part is the addition of the status LED so it will be really easy to visually distinguish depleted mines from the clogged ones.

I don't get it either. I can't think of any reason why not to have this optional feature.
But I still hope that some day it will get to Factorio. But until then I am forced to play the game on mute most of the time.

Can we please have this feature for 1.0 release? This one little option in settings would have made a great impact to quality of life of the game.

So if I "wall" myself with water trench even the bugs that could normally walk over water won't reach me now?

For this very reason I nowadays play factorio completely without sound.
It was tiresome to go to settings to mute sounds every time I wanted to keep factorio running in the background.
I pretty much got used to it.

I just found out that it can be forced on per-app basis by this command (run in terminal): (don't forget to restart game after this change)

But app's native support would be of course better.
