Loaders / Unloaders are already in the game right? Just available in sandbox, not in Freeplay.

How about updating their name to "Landing pad unloaders", updating their graphics to space-themed and giving them a checkbox for "stack items".

For the graphics, i suggest making the back of the unloader ...

We're complaining that pressing M (or Tab, in my case), shortcut for "Toggle World map " opens the map view rather than a more zoomed-in view. It's doing exactly what its name suggests. Does that means that we're wrong? Not necessarily.

In vanilla Factorio, the map view was the map view: one ...

These are my 4 ships. I tried to build small-medium sized ships, all are below 400 tons. They could work with lesser quality machines and modules. My current research level is: Asteroid productivity 5, Laser weapons damage 6, Physical projectile damage 8, Stronger explosives 8, Railgun damage 3 ...

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but is this post about "hack", rather than "cheat"?

Anyone can use the in-game console to "cheat" in the game. Or, if it's about the achievements, by downloading blueprints/saves.

Of course, there is no point cheating in Factorio. Cheating in solo games is usually useful ...

I finally crafted a legendary mech armor, which comes with +125 inventory slots. However, now the UI takes most of the screen to display 205 inventory slots, even though most of it is empty.

I haven't researched "Tool Belt". If I had, it would be even worse (215 inventory slots). I use standard ...

When running and flying, the character pickup reach changes. I found it slightly annoying (probably in my top 5 annoying things in Factorio).

I understand that it's acceptable so far, but I hope for a fix in Space age 1.1. What would be the technical limitations to this? Maybe the personal lasers ...

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I would have expected this instead (see below for edited picture), but fair enough (I guess I could make a suggestion post).

How about a separate boiler-like entity that takes item fuel, water, and thruster oxidizer ?


How about using the same boiler entity, but using oxidizer as a fluid input? After all, rocket fuel (H2?) + oxidizer (O2?) = H2O. Boom! Q.E.D.

I don't really care about using steam personally, but I ...

How to replicate the ...

I visited Gleba third. I tried things out for maybe 8 hours and almost never got attacked even after 20 hours, with default settings (no mods, time evolution ON). There are plenty of time before medium stompers shows up, and they have no reason to attack you if they are not in your spore cloud ...

You can suggest playing the tutorial scenarios 1, 2 and 3 in solo, if they are open to it.

Scenarios 4 and 5 can be played in multiplayer.

Could scenarios 1-3 be copied and modified as custom scenarios to open them to multiplayer?

Thank you for your input, unchecking Entity tooltip on the side works as a temporary solution. I would not keep this option permanently, though, as I don't like adding a giant windows to my cursor.

Maybe I will make a separate suggestion topic for a setting that removes the entity preview (see the ...

I found a minor issue related to reading the power consumption of a machine. I use very normal settings. Display 1920x1080, UI size 100%, no mods.

In the vertical tooltip panel, since there are 8 possible items for the cryogenic plant content when producing quantum processors, the 8th content type ...

It looks like the fix worked for me. Thanks!

Gleba has been debated many times, and I already added my 2 cents. In short, I somewhat disagree with OP's points, I think Gleba is fine. I'll add that nowadays games are expected to be easy. Yes, even Dark Souls is easy compared to old school 80s / 90s games (1991's Sonic, Donkey Kong Country ...

I've got a somewhat similar bug. Not yellow squares, just a yellow shape blocking some icons. Only some types of items are affected, no matter which drop slot they occupy.


I've had the exact same thing happen with that same angle shape, shortly after upgrading to 2.0.25. I only noticed it ...

Let me add my 2 cents in this topics by sharing my story.

I solved Gleba... without using the heating tower. Yep, I just forgot about it. I was burning carbon from space to make energy in the early game turbines (and burning some biofuel). I was trying to keep all my nutrients/spoilage in a sushi ...

Thank you for the cargo pod scheduling, I will try it out when it reaches the stable branch.

My workaround was a long belt that ticks once every 30 seconds... impractical.

My thought on the rocket silo issue is that you could give them reduced power consumption or allow them to buffer more rockets at a time.


Quality silo and any quality crafting machine saves you power. Double the speed means it needs to be working ("ON") only 50% of the time for the same output ...
