Official trailer and gameplay trailers are amazing and short, start there.
This.
The 2014 trailer contributed to trigger my initial purchase. It has been updated a couple times, here is the last version from 2020 :

Re: Friday Facts #386 - Vulcanus

[...] I hope it will just require different amounts of fuel; because that is much easier to manage... just wait until the Rocket silo is filled with fuel and launch. If it would be different load capacities it is going to suck big time because then every planet has its own ratios for transporting i...

Re: Friday Facts #386 - Vulcanus

From an image in FFF-380: I'm curious, how the other properties will be used by new or influence existing entities: gravity, magnetic field, pressure. They're probably not there for the lulz, the game manages them for some purpose for sure. I can see the gravity having an influence on how much load...

My 2 cents about the "S" grade system as a naming-scheme is... that in practice it is absolutely F-tier. ;D

Re: Quality level run-off poll

(My own opinion is that even 'S', let alone 'SS' or 'SSS', is symptomatic of unplanned extensions to a range. You designed a range with, say, 'A' to 'D', and then find later that you need a higher grade than 'A', so have to improvise. Adding such things in at the start is pointless.) You don't watc...

Re: Demand Statistics

A graph for the difference of supply and demand would be useful. I produce and consume ~10k iron plates per minute so the graphs look pretty much identical. But do I produce 10.1k iron plates per minute and consume only 9.9k iron plates per minute? Or the other way around? There is no way to tell. ...

Re: Fluid Mechanics Still Broken, 6 Years Later?

I get into issues only when I try to max out every flow capacity possible with "megabase" level oil facilities. On setups where I don't need absolute maximal throughput, Fluid system works just fine.

Re: Fluid Mechanics Still Broken, 6 Years Later?

Are there any plans to fix this core mechanic? And if not, what are people's work arounds? Just use single pipes with one producer and consumer each? Avoid pipes as much as possible and barrel everything at source and unbarrel when it's consumed? Wing it and ignore the fact that fluids move unpredi...

Re: Filter inserters should allow using the items signal count as stack size

TL;DR Inserters should be able to use a stacksize set by the signal of the item they pick up. @OP : I'll link a couple threads hereunder. Can you confirm if they're all globally the same suggestion (or close enough) OR trying to address the same issue (or close enough) ? If they do, I'll merge them...

Re: Friday Facts #401 - New terrain, new planet

I wasn't aware there was such room for improvement with Nauvis map generation. I had gripes with the cliffs, without ever being able to elaborate what I didn't like in them, will definitely try with them when 2.0 is released. I also have issues with the starting area's layout. I remember at some poi...

Re: Expansion hype thread - Any updates on when/if there will be an expansion?

Anyone knows if early early adopters of Factorio (bought it way back in early days) will qualify for a free update? … 2.0 was a paid DLC, right?
