Night vision should have a toggle keybind. It's annoying to remove it from the armor and then put it back.

All of those night vision images just looked beyond awful to me. I never liked the way nightvision is implemented in Factorio, so I just place tons of lamps everywhere.


My feedback is that ...

The thought occurred to me that different players prefer different styles of play, and that maybe having different character 'classes' or archetypes to choose from would be worth implementing. In my mind they would offer a little specialization to certain attributes, in much the same way modular ...

I think the game miss some branches in the technology list. We can upgrade inserters and have two techs for upgrading bots capacity. It seems unfair for other transportation modes. I would like to see belt speed upgrade and locomotive power/speed upgrade as well, and possibly wagon size capacity ...

The ability to plant trees creates the same exploit as the ability to place water: you could create an impenetrable barrier to keep out the biters.

I also don't like the mods that add forest growth for another reason: this game is a technology-based game, so magical fast-growing trees simply don't ...

Reduce the frequency of the annoying warning beeps and flooding of the log/chat window when personal construction robots can't place items in your inventory because it's full.

I really hope they do something about this because it's been an annoyance ever since the personal roboport was ...

I very much like the idea of physical barriers that must be destroyed before the player can enter the area.

To better monitor and control our power generation we should have a way to get the power usage and production to circuit network.
Similar to how Accumulators report charge to the circuit network, substations could report power production and power usage of their electric network.
Alternatively ...

I close my inventory using "Q" because that's how I set up my keybinds from the in-game menu.

I also set the hand-crafting to CTRL+SHIFT+click so that I don't accidentally mess up my "lazy bastard" achievement.

I would think it's better to just use combinators. You could connect a lamp to the circuit network and have it turn red when the ammo is low and green when it's full.

I think it's best to just give gun turrets a constant supply of ammo using belts or trains. You never want to be low on ammo, and ...

... If you just want to launch raw unprocessed materials into space and already have something up there to handle it, the most efficient delivery is with a gun...

This makes me think of HARP and project Big Babylon. The "space guns" weren't cost effective because the barrel could only be used a ...

Are behemoths in? I believe those would change the state of war here.

Yes. They are big, green, and can take a lot of punishment. My goal with the radar outposts is to keep the nests from getting inside the high pollution zone around my factory - thereby reducing the evolution of the aliens. The ...

It's built:

It's launching! I'm so excited!

It needs a satellite?


I can't wait for version 0.13

I end up using Distractors as my primary combat robot because it is cheap and doesn't count towards the follower limit. Through most of the game (the first 40 hours), I used Distractors while driving the tank. I used the tank cannon to clear the nests and worms, while the Distractors take care of ...

I use radar outposts far from the walls of my base to have early warning of alien activity. These radar outposts are fully independent of the main power grid.
While they don't prevent the aliens from attacking the factory, they do prevent the aliens from making new nests closer to my factory. Since ...

I agree.
The material and research cost of Basic Modular Armor is much too close to the cost of Power Armor. For the small additional expense, it's better to just directly craft the Power Armor, skipping the basic. In version 0.12.1, the basic modular armor is further obsoleted by the tank.

Combat robotics are imbalanced (too weak) in the current game version.
I'm really looking forward to the "combat revisited" update because currently Factorio combat is lackluster.

[Edit: This is the wrong place for posting suggestions... my bad. I don't see any way to delete the post, so I'll just put it in a spoiler for now.]

I love the aesthetic of the personal roboport. A fleet of drones popping out of the player's power armor looks great. In the current game version ...

This game needs two ways to deal with extra junk:

Recycling Machine - turn junk back into raw ores

Incinerator - turn junk into electricity

Later in the game (advanced technologies would be needed for this), the player could start with underground mining, this would have 2 phases.

Searching for resources
Underground resources wouldn't be so easy to spot, the player would have to do special drills to scan the nearby underground, when ...

I don't want the character to have a separate progression system (exp), especially not a system that involves doing a task repetitiously for the sole purpose of increasing a "skill." That kind of experience-grinding is horribly tedious work.

Research techs that can enhance the player's statistics ...
