Great to finally see an update with real details. Like others, I do have a few concerns: Pushing cliff explosives and artillery back seems to make little sense: cliffs are notoriously so annoying that many people turn them off, and artillery has long felt too delayed already in the tech tree I wond...

Yes this is an interesting development for a game I am enjoying still . I think that FACTORIO has the scope to go in a few directions though .I propose that an expansion of the game could utilise and improve some existing Mods ."They are biters" comes to mind .Also tying in airfiltering an...

Quite exited that the game is in further develpment . What if Factorio had an addition of personnel . What this entails is that there would be personnel assigned to each aspect of the factories function . The factory dependent on the presence of personnel .The story of an orbiting spacecraft that is...

Personnel would be added to the game and be integral to the factories functionality . The bugs would not eat the factory components but would target the personnel .With the exception of gates and walls . That the factory would be in sections and each section be dependent upon the presence of the ind...

Why not have biters have the ability to pass over water at a rate of half speed or quarter speed depending on the type of biter . There should be a mode of play alternative in that there are additional personnel .The biters attack the personnel and not the factory components .Each section of the fac...

Is there an audio event for each animation .Perhaps that is too much .What about sound templates or themes for area zones .This is already the case .If the player is near electric furnaces then that is the sound context .Perhaps biters need an interesting alarm that changes ,modulates ,differently ....

I think that there are about seven to ten sound effects .Could be wrong .If they were darker ,creepier then it would add to the games atmosphere .If the sound effects were to morph as the player ran past different buildings the effect would be deeper . I produced an effect called "Try to start ...

Sound effects and certain types of music play a large part in the atmosphere of film and games .I have produced some various sounds and effects using modular synthesis .SoundCloud .QUAVERTUNE . Are there enough sounds for buildings in factorio ? Could the sound effects be a bit darker ?

Could not a game component like research formulas be migrated to the stable version of the game ? With mod adjustment to the change ?

Part 4 Periodically zombies would surge toward personnel . They would not attack defenses but overwhelm ,if allowed , the defense's ability to defend the incursion .Walls could be climbed over .Walls would slow down rather than stop an incoming surge .The zombie population would have to be held in c...

Part 3 There would be a timer of various lengths ,option .A countdown to the first drop .An APC would be early game research and implemented .Time for the player to build a factory before the first drop .Options 80, 120, 180 ,250 ,320 ,500 day night cycles before the first drop .Then the option of d...

Part 2 The addition of personnel .These are the rescued survivors . point 2 of a percent to half percent have survived the apocalypse and are delivered via drop pods spread out across the map . Personnel are an addition the the functionality of factorio .The operation and regulation of factorio's fa...

Scene .
An apocalyptic off world event ,Zombies ,
An automated transport system which delivers survivors to the factorio world .Groups of drop pods deployed across the map .Problem ,most are zombies .
Game addition
The addition of personnel , air and food production .End of part 1

I don't like to mix the style of play .Overhead to first person that is what the other game will be.What I like mostly about factorio is that you can customize the game to your own liking .Perhaps a more accessible modding friendly application would be good .That is an application to do modding easi...

I like the diverse changes to the recipe format .I find that the electric furnace slows me down .Just a thought about belt length .To better accommodate blueprints .Could a post belt lay modification be in order ? To flatten the underground belt end points on the end where it joins the raised point ...

Error in assign ID,item-subgroup with name bob-electric-boards does not exist .This stops the game from starting up .Even after an un install and reinstall .
