Like you said, the steam overlay wouldn’t be too helpful to the 10% non-steam users and even provided the other platforms had some kind of overlay, completely useless to users getting the game directly from the website. Something as simple as a link should be handele homogeneously, like opened in a ...

Just to note. I did run into performance issues shortly prior 0.18. With my aging i7 4930k, some crappy DDR3 RAM and a GTX 780 (wich I replaced in the meantime) and a base (rather train &belt heavy, <10 mods, nuclear powered) doing science and therefore triggering frequenter biter attacks, UPS/FPS d...

Oh wow, I didn‘t expect this and missed the launch completely. Great features, I embraced the nature and colors around my factory again, wich I didn’t do like for ages. In the factory the sounds are somewhat refreshingly different. To sum it up this is really great. Even greater all the new customiz...

Nice QoL suggestions, although I use the hotbars regularly, I often want to pick a more seldomly used item without setting to many practically useless filters. The crafting menu gets useless anyways sometime in midgame, so why don’t keep some functionality. The option should be to toggleable by the ...

If we are talking about the main menu, you should make it's background [...] load a factory as a background Yep! Put the image of the last save as background. How perfect smooth transition into game after hitting "continue" :arrow: button would it be... Yes! Doesn't the game already save a thumbnai...

Following yesterdays announcement from CDPR the planned April release is delayed to 17th of September. https://en.cdprojektred.com/news/important-news-regarding-cyberpunk-2077-release-date/ This would practically coincide with Factorio launch date on 25th of September. Both titles surely aren’t to c...

The Continue feature might come in handy. Also liking the cleaned up start new game options, much more consistent then currently implemented.
Interesting folder selection by the way: lasers for trains, Spidertron (apparently from the last decade) 0.18 keeps getting more interesting.

The baseline crafting time remains unchanged, only the crafting speed and therefore effective time to craft differs depending on wich tier of assembler (or by crafting manually) you are using. The Assembly machines GUI dose show the crafting speed of 0,5, so the all the informations are there, only ...

I would love a coffee mug. To keep tired engineers awake at 3 a.m., cause the factory must grow.

I don’t think PLD is at least vastly overpowered. Yes and no. 5-10 of them on you and you can just walk around and kite entire biter base with no other weapon in hands :lol: I would really love a button to disable it or a change that it would attack only in defense (eg. for peacefull set maps) tho ...

TL;DR Allow the placement of ghost entities over ghosted landfill. What ? Ghosted landfill should behave like buildable terrain for other ghosted entities in blueprints and manual placement. Why ? Mostly convince. For example structures needing water, like reactor blocks are likely placed beside wa...

If there is 1 feature I would really like before release: saving of quickbar filters between games. It is such tedium to set up 60+ filters every time.

This is the mod for you.

I actually would have bet on the oil related changes in fff304 and 305 as the most red fff, but this is also plausible.
Seems really like the quiet before the storm and some well deserved holidays with the 0.18 release not that far ahead. This is going to be exciting!

I don’t think PLD is at least vastly overpowered. First and foremost, they are capable of providing semiautomatic combat, where the player hast only to move towards the enemy and no fiering or throwing of items is necessary. True automatisation is of courses provided by the artillery. So as an evolu...

First congratulations on 2Mega copies sold. Seems the website needs an update. As to the tutorial situation. I found all of the videos quite agreeable and concure that the NPE in contrast to the old tutorials rather much more try to enforce a certain playstyle, then just to leave the optimal to be d...

... As far as I know, Stadia does require using the controller, but I don't think that's really an issue. I've ONLY ever played Factorio with a controller, and I've played a few thousand hours since 0.13. Granted, I do use the Steam controller, which is a bit better as a mouse than a typical joysti...

TL;DR Make the belt-immunity equipment toggeable What ? likely via the shortcut bar, as implemented for roboports and exoskeletons. Why ? Belt immunity is highly useful for building stuff or placing blueprints inside a thight or somewhat spaghettified factory. Using belts to get faster from A to B ...

TL;DR Allow renaming and reassigning icons to the upgrade and deconstruction planner. What ? The above mentioned, should be implemented like already done for blueprints. Why ? Both DP and UP are customisable and I for example use at least several DPs (e.g. deforestation or removal of walls and lase...

Remembers me of this ancient arcticle about a 500h megabase (no spm or back than rpm given). https://www.pcgamer.com/see-what-a-factorio-factory-looks-like-after-500-hours-of-work/ Most of the mentioned mods there (like landfill) are solid Vanilla these days. Excluding for example bp-mirroring and R...

My question is, how good is stadia optimized for mouse and keyboard games? And remember any semi decent pc or laptop can run factorio. Actually I‘ve runned a rather big base with an potato (Laptop with i5 7200U, Radon R5 M420 and 8GB DDR4 Ram) over the holidays and got decent FPS (of course on a sma...
