We're considering adjusting the rules for which buildings in a territory provoke an attack because we have some options, such as: all structures (the current rule), active structures, or only mining structures.
I hope you go with active structures. It's be a fun mechanic if you could detect them ...

I'd just like to chime in that I also like knowing where my items are and would like some kind of option to find what chests on the network have them.

Couldn't one also argue that placing a power pole, placing a power-pole ghost, and placing a power-pole blueprint, are essentially the same action?
No.


placing a power-pole ghost, and placing a power-pole blueprint, are essentially the same action?
Yes. They should, and do, have the same ...

TL;DR
Allow players to set the recipes of assemblers (and configure combinators/inserters/etc.) with unlimited range.

What ?
I can think of 3 ways to set the recipe of a building and they don't all have the same functioning range

Interacting directly with the building to set the recipe ...

The bug report graph per day is a little deceptive since people obviously play more on the weekend. Also, Kathrine of Sky was hosting an MMO event which means any crash there gets amplified in it's reporting. If possible, it'd be nice to see hours played / crash.

This is what actually caused the crash. Simple train loop with 2 stops. I think the train has to be in two railblocks chasing it's own tail and it gets confused trying to stop or something. I've attached a save file. Just start the train and wait for it to get up to speed.

I think your pricing strategy is admirable and is the right thing to do.


However, it might not be the best thing for the company/game/community. A while ago I learned about the J.C. Penney Effect (summarized well by Extra Credit on Youtube but he focuses on how perceptions of fairness can be ...

I like the idea of the AND/OR visualization, but it's still are confusing. These are binary operators that exist between conditions, not on the same line as each.

How do you plan on handling fluid systems with more than one type of fluid in them? It'd be great if that was somehow prevented, but I've also seen some pretty cool systems that exploit a universal fluid system.

I hope we can see the robot's chat bubbles reused for player chat bubbles. When doing large multiplayer games, it's hard to keep track of the chatlog and remember who is working near you and know which chat is meant for you vs someone across the map.

Rebuttal to the "Cons" list.

The newly unlocked recipes might be overlooked (It is solvable by some kind of pop-up, but it is far from perfect).
I've played the game an awful lot. This is not a problem. I understand that not everyone knows the game super well, but are people really just going to ...

please change it so you never unlock a recipe that you can't use.

That issues is more complex than you think it is. More lines make the tech tree more difficult to read, and many technologies would end up containing only one recipe because the others have different requirements.

While I agree ...

If you want to make the tech tree so it's more understandable for new players, please change it so you never unlock a recipe that you can't use. It boggles my mind that the current tree is "intended behavior."

Very minor and specific bug, but perhaps there's larger implications for what's causing this that I don't understand.

How to recreate:

Create a rail loop with 2 stations A, B immediately adjacent to each other.
Add a train with both stations in its list with "Wait until 0 seconds pass" so it ...

It was before my time, but from what I hear, belts use to lose compression just going around corners. People had to come up with crazy splitter contraptions or upgrading just the corners. But you guys fixed that and it was great. Nobody would ever say that belt corners had great "emergent-gameplay ...

Small request for the electric grid map, draw each electric grid in a different color. Too often, you accidentally clip a pole or forget to hookup your new steam/solar to the main grid. If each separate electric grid had it's own unique color, you'd be able to spot these problems a lot sooner ...

I'm excited for the new belt optimization changes, however, I have one question.
With 0.15 you will never ever have to build underground belts for the sake of performance :) Factorio's heart is beating nicely now and will not distract from blueprinting the truly important things.
Currently, if you ...

I feel like turret creep is a problem, not because turrets are too strong, but because player damage is too weak. Players simply do not have the tools to take on a base.

With assemblers, early game 1 player = 2 assembler. With turrets, it's completely reversed 2 players = 1 turret. Conservation of ...

I know you don't know what ratios you'll end up using eventually, but please make them better than the current ones. I know most people think 1:14:10 is the best, but I find that 1:13:10 is better on many counts . Please pick numbers so people won't get stuck with wrong/bad ideas about how math ...

Bump. I'm still curious about the answer.
