Nice, finally I can tear down the devilish refilling circuit logic that triggers on a single-tick when ejecting the empty fuel cells from reactors. xD I will also have some use for the disabling/enabling of requester/provider chests. One situation that comes into my mind right of the bat is that it ...

I'm okay with the new spidertron animation, even though I seem to be in the minority.

Me too. I am also fine with the newer animation. ^^

Thing is, I love most of the expansion so far. It's just certain elements of the mechanics introduced on Gleba that I dislike. So far, that's just two things - the lack of refrigeration and the apparent forcing-on of enemies. I am looking forward to the expansion, and all the positive stuff therein...

I would just like to say to the Factorio devs: PLEASE don't compromise your artistic vision by pandering to the absurd safetyism of incredibly niche phobias. There is a huge difference between "I don't like spiders/holes" and having an actual clinical disability that would be reasonable t...

It's not "vibes" telling me that they want to force us into a given playstyle. It's their exact words on other matters that similarly involve forcing us to play a given way. In principle they are not forcing you to anything. You can simply opt to not buy the expansion if you don't like an...

Thanks to the both of you for helping me :D, a follow up question, how would I implement a depot system for various trains for the same item? I personally don't use depots/stackers. To avoid the need of depots I rather set "only 1 train going to a station at a time" like Koub wrote earlie...

Might break some day, but works just fine at the moment. It doesn't. It will work forever. Been doing it the same way for years without any issues (albeit I set a little more buffer in the chests than 0). ^^ Even if it will annoy some freaks, all the complex & super fancy combinator contraption...

Bug biter swarms, starfish strafer hordes, constant lightning storms, why the hell did we choose this system again?

Because the brave are not who never feel fear but who choose to conquer it.


Or some motivational stuff like that. ^^

I play with a group of friends, one of them doesn't want to see creatures with 0 or 1 leg like snake, beause of crippling phobia, another one doesn't want to see creatures with more than 2 legs, for the same reason, and i don't want to shoot biters that have 2 legs only, so it would be nice if devs...

You said it yourself, just a few lines of code, and if its that then maybe one entire hour of work could be assigned to that, and if even one sale or one non-refund happens because of this, it is already profitable, maybe two or three sales since their pay is actually good, which i assume it is. As...

As for the refunds, people already mentioned that one before, as for profitability: refunds take away more money than what was given, easy logic That assumes that Wube even care about the additional profitability, which some artists/creators (which a game development studio also definitely falls in...

From the writeup, it sounds like this time there should be ways to sustainably farm the aliens in a single area this time with a mix of intentionally letting eggs spoil/hatch and what I'd assume are deconstruction orders via roboport or spidertron instead of the expansionist looting for alien-artif...

I usually play with biters off. I like my factorio slow and meditative. Must I bother with aliens? I understand your feeling about that. I assume there will be an option to turn the Pentapods off as well or at least that a good deal of people will ask for exactly such an option and that they will b...

The new creatures look interesting. ^^ So peaceful is not an option again like it was when you needed alien items for science? Agreed. I thought a considerable amount of people disliked the alien artifact aspect of having to manually farm that stuff just be able to progress further and that the devs...

Next step - multimonitor support, with the ability to pin remote views to separate game windows and put it on different screens. Or do the ultimate 300 IQ move: Buy a second PC and another copy of the game. Then join your own server. :mrgreen: If you are on linux you wont even need the second PC fo...

Can confirm, using Solid Fuel works really well as a Coal replacement. Though with the caveat that you need to use an Oil Deposit that is further away from the starting location so you get enough Oil in the long term. Also I often do the funny of running my Boilers with Rocket Fuel even though it i...

Did you really forget solid fuel :lol: Solid fuel feels more like a step child and unnecessary overhead, considering oil can burn by itself. I like the Power generation mechanic in the game "Captains of Industry", where there is a boiler for solid matter (coal, wood, ...) and for fluids (...

Ah nice. Looking forward to toying around with the puzzle. Seems like there are some more possibilities than there is with fission reactors (because that was my main disappointment with them back in the day because there is basically only 2*n setups). But that said, I would recommend at least to inc...

As with many existing overhaul mods for 1.1, I doubt you will be able to add all the expansion content to an existing save in a useful way. However, I expect vanilla saves can be migrated to Factorio version 2 (that will be available whether or not you buy the DLC) as has been possible previously. ...
