• Remastered and remixed music.

I'm curious to know why the SA music, that was recorded in a professional modern sound studio just a couple years ago required remastering, like with classic music albums/records from decades ago?

Please just permanently reduce the volume of the rocket launch by 50%. It's just too annoying in Space Age.

Hello!

There is wasted space in the inserter UI when game is set to german language.

I speculate that the root cause is the same as with https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=127386 that was fixed by Klonan. Presumably the lengthy localized string "Greifarmkapazität begrenzen" adjacent to ...

CONGRATULATIONS Wube for the 50th patch since the launch of Space Age! Thank you so much for your excellent work!

I think traditional phpBB forums (and similar PHP bulletin board software) appeal to a more mature audience than the more modern but convoluted fast-past throw-away communication style on platforms such as Reddit.

It's a bit like IRC, which is used by older internet users, compared to Discord ...

There is a mod that does just that in case it helps : Changes the default light color of the small lamp to the original 255/255/255 value when placed.


Thanks, but I play vanilla. The pure white color has been the vanilla default for the past ~10 years. Good to notice I am not alone with this ...

Well, considering that no one noticed it in those several years, and everyone's used to the white...


Exactly. There was nothing *to* notice in several years because lamps have appeared in pure white since the beginning of factorio. Due to a recent a bugfix in 2.0.33, lamps now appear in beige ...

By "you" I did not mean you personally, but Wube in general. Please kindly forward this thread with my suggestion and arguments to the GFX department, so they can consider it.

The topic concerns the default color of newly placed lamps. Are you going to revert it to pure white, considering the provided reasoning?

Thanks! I did.

TL;DR
Default color of lamp should be changed back to pure white (RGB 255/255/255).

What?
I suggest the default color of the lamp should be changed back to pure white. Apparently the color was originally intended to be beige, but a bug made lamps appear in pure white, and this was fixed ...

Hi! I am looking for a simple answer to this question:

I have an ongoing run of vanilla Space Age with the "Deathworld Marathon" unmodified preset. Will any achievement be disabled in that run with this update?

Thanks for the comments!

This lego object now serves "in memory of the stack filter inserter"...
I miss the snow white color a little, because the new SA stack inserter is more grayish-white.

This has actually been the default color since 1.1 - it did not change in 2.0.


I started a factory in 1.1 which has thousands of default white lamps. Loading this factory into 2.0 reveals that their color values are 255/255/255. Newly places lamps are beige with 255/255/191. The two colors look ...

Hi raiguard!

No. The incorrect color appears in Vanilla 2.0 with or without Space Age.

The default lamp color is incorrect: it shows 255/255/191 instead of the pure white 255/255/255 which it has defaulted to ever since.

The wiki does not mention a change in color in version history of lamp.

Expected behaviour: Newly placed lamp has default color of 255/255/255.

Hi!

Is there a reason the default lamp color was changed to beige (255/255/191) in 2.0, after so many years that is was white (255/255/255)?

Personally I prefer the white, but I imagine the devs must have had a good reason to change it, I just can't think of any, so I'd like to know.

The open and close sound of the train wagon and beacon are very loud, compared to most other open/close sounds. Lacking a method of measuring the volume, I subjectively estimate these to be around 2-3 times louder than say, the open/close sound of the assembling machine.

The volume of these two ...

+1

Rockets way to loud, stressing with SA launch frequency.
