Re: Why no faster trains?

I would like to add, that increased breaking strength is not as straight forward imho:


If a train approaches a crossing or something similar, where the reason for the stop is another train blocking the crossing that might leave the crossing in the next few seconds, the train with fewer breaking ...

Re: Feedback on Space Age's overall design


I'd like to add my feedback as well. I guess there's no point in creating new feedback threads where there are already some, so I took the one that looked the most open. Even if it sounds as criticism, I'd like to say I immensely enjoy all parts of Factorio. Just some parts not as immense as ...

Re: Arc furnace VS blast furnace

Best argument IMHO that was not mentioned is that electric furnaces reduce the logistic requirements. You don't have to bring ore AND coal to the furnaces, just ore! That makes the build much easier and increases scalability by a huge margin!

Re: Seeking advice in co-op with non-gamer friends

I was in a similar place. Well my multiplayer mates played factorio a little bit but did not have the experience. The best way for me was to have the big picture in mind and give tasks for the other players(some players like to be given clear tasks) :

Toolbelt depending on surface

TL;DR
Please add the option to bind toolbelt rows (or toolbelt configuration) to surfaces


What?
There should be an option to switch the toolbelt configuration based on what surface you are (or what you are looking at in the remote view.). It could be, that you setup 4 rows for a planet and the ...

Re: Feedback on Space Age's overall design


I agree that the initial space science (white flasks) is a little bit dull, because you don't have to scale it later.
I am fine with moving technologies to other planets that were at Nauvis in the first place. At first i was a bit annoyed by this, but it feels much more rewarding as it would be ...

Re: assembling machine network problem



You can get fractions if you multiply the devisor by 10 before dividing and will get 5 instead of 0.5 - it is limited by precision and will not work for huge numbers, but in many cases this worked for me

OK I think you did not understand my problem. For example, I require 12 basic underground ...

I don't get why people dislike Gleba that much. I like the logistic challenge and the progression through the planet is smooth. There are many ways to handle spoilage and you have to priorize products and chains..

Pacing of technologies seems a bit off

For me the pacing of the technologies is a bit off. I don't like the idea, that building something up and throwing it all out of the window if something better is available. For me vanilla Factorio was about "getting something better, fiddling with it a bit and be happy, that it's working better by ...

I agree with many points. Most Changes make little to no difference in the long run but would make the journey more enjoyable. I totally agree, that calcite should be available easier on Nauvis. Putting the access to Gleba is just mäh.
