The rail planner needs to be perfect for this to work. Otherwise, you will have to do way too much micro placement.

I am not yet fully convinced, that this is a good idea. The shadows, the reflection, the stuff behind; and all of that without the ability to turn the world around!? Will it work?

@trifonous I think 0.17 is stable now and you can cut the loop back section in UTU :D After same pages your speed increased, I would have required more in detailed, stepwise explanations to really follow. But, that is okay. Maybe having a balancer is enough and I can then true to understand how it r...

Hurray and Congratulations! Reading these Facts, really made me feal like reaching the end of a successfull journey: Being happy :D to be there and being sad :( it is over. I am surprised, that this actually became emotional for me . I believe you really created a story with these Friday Facts. Wel...

I wonder if new players will be interested in Factory 0.1. While it is very interesting for those, who did travel along with you, others might not care. What is it you like to achieve with the new trailer?

I love the mood of this Friday Fact: 1.0 is out. Just two more month.

Congratulations!

the game can now work with much less VRAM

How dare you! I bought the new graphics card to match Factorios requirements... and now this!

When compilatron shows me how to do a mining setup it silently destroys the setup that was already in place. The scenario should either follow the "Do what I tell you!"-Style, which would forbid me to do anything else, or made me expect that any deviation from the path will lead to destruc...

Second time I tried it did work. I tried multiple times to reproduce the error, but I failed.

At the very beginning of the scenario, I right clicked the scrap metal. Once it was collected an error message appeared. The scenario level caused a non-recoverable error. Please report this error to the scenario author. Error while running event level::on_tick (ID 0) __base__/lualib/compi.lua:97: b...

I would suggest listing the box-to-box speed. It may be higher or lower depending on where the parts are on the belt and how far it has to swing, but B2B is going to be consistent and measurable. Sounds good to me. Seems consistent and measurable and will scale with inserter updates. It can also ad...

I agree that it is tricky. I believe (unfortunately I am not sure) that I am not looking for perfection here. I like to resolve the design question: If I need to run 12 assembling machines which process 6 coal every 4 second each, I need to make 12*6/4 = 18 coal available per second. Thus a yellow b...

TL;DR Display already performed research when reselecting a research topic. What ? I started to research item A. Once its research is half way done (at 50%), I select a different research topic and let it finish. When I select the previous item A, it should show me that research it already at 50% a...

TL;DR Show inserter speed (moveable items / second) in tooltip. What ? The tooltip on the right side of the screen should show the speed of an inserter. It shows all kind of information, when hovering over an inserter, but does not show how many items per second it can move. Idealy the speed would ...

Other inconsistencies: Boiler vs. Heizkessel

In the tutorial the text used by compilatron as goal, differs from the text used in the research tree. I am asked to "Erforsche Fluchtkapsel Flugschreiber " but in the research tree it is called " Blackbox der Fluchtkapsel ". Being in a tutorial that is confusing. Use "Black...

Instead of copper plates I feed copper ore into the loader (belader in German) and they just disappear. I would expect the loader to not accept the items and thus show me I am feeding the wrong stuff.

I do not know if that is a bug or a feature.

She didn’t know how to close the furnace window. Why are there no X close buttons in the UI?

I have 415h of factorio on the clock and still get confused when closing the different windows: E, ESC, Q what is it with this window?

In the arrival tuturial, I clicked on the robot instead of the ship wreck when the robot told me to click. The speech bubble was a stronger indication on the click target than the flashing border around the wreck. If possible mention the ship wreck at least in the hint in the upper left. It still te...

Assembling machine ingredient limit removal I like it, that the later Assembling machines can do really more than the earlier ones. The game forces me to create them and thus directs me and guides me. The goal to just speed up things might not always be enough: I can automatically produce items of ...

However, I would put your (developers) own judgment first - us players like keeping things the same and won't have thought through all the exact inconsistencies between terms as much as you obviously have. Yes, developers will have the last word in this. Yes, developers will have to think through a...
