Woah, MeduSalem just went full beastmode! In before a reply with the words 'fanboy', 'whiteknight' or 'sum up wall of text'. Back to the topic of hand; of course pretty much everyone here likes the idea of dirty mining and would like to have it. I guess the reason we haven't seen such a feature in t...

I come into this thread to see the billion copper wires and I find an existential crisis. Good job everyone.

That said, nice work OP! Can we grab some more screenshots of your factory and game world?

I think you've played Factorio too much and have 'burned out' as a result. No amount of forum posting from anyone will result in a quick change to the status of the game. The development lies in the hands of the developers and they will release an update when they feel like it, no matter what you, o...

I don't think anyone knows, apart from the developers themselves. It's not explicitly listed on the roadmap and it hasn't been mentioned in a Friday Facts for many months. However: Update 12th April 2017: Not everything we want to do is there, basically the main points. Who knows what the future hol...

There was a recent discussion that covered a similar topic. The answer from that thread is probably very appropriate here: No one knows the answer to your question, since it's thinking of a schedule far (probably too far) ahead in time.

Throughput!

I believe OP is asking whether or not the stock game will have a machine that actively removes pollution from chunks (like trees, spawners and chunks free of floor tiles do currently). I'm not a developer, but I guess the answer is no.

Yeah, sterile is a pretty appropriate choice to describe this. The OP's question was given a realistic answer with the first few replies; Factorio 2 will emerge when the developers say so and when they have finished with the current project. That said I'm still going to extract the last comedic gold...

Whilst planning for the future is wise, there is a difference between planning for the future and creating a pipe dream.

I dispute the above opinion; logistics in micro gravity offer less scope for player creativity.

Found the thread. Here's a warehouse from vanilla logistics chests.

snip Whilst buffering can be handy and is a good enough solution to most problems, the 'disguised demand' issue does get in the way of creating perfectly efficient logistics. Sure, such perfection may sound over the top in practice, especially in a game, but then that's the entire concept of Kaizen...

i bet you play on peacefull mode. the storage usefull for : 1. emergency situtation 2. when you want to afk. 3, want to clear the ore asap Just convert the raw material into a ratio of finished products and put that into storage dude. I haven't found the thread concerning mass storage of raw materi...

The Japanese killed the idea of large scale storage with Just In Time logistics. As pieppiep said, if you really need the storage for raw materials, something has probably gone wrong. If you enjoy mining and refining every ore deposit on the map and are storing things for fun, then one of the more e...

Woops, missed that thread!

After updating from 0.12.29 to 0.13.1, I found a tile of train track that has some very odd behaviour. The tile in question is highlighted in the picture below. http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq272/roborob112/rails_zpscbzkzelv.jpg Trains can route a path successfully, but cannot cross it. The tr...
