I can think of two ways to get rid of wire noise on lamp arrays.
1. Hotkey that hides wires and wire connectors
2. New technology researched for circuit network wireless channels for radio frequency communication.

I agree it's funny the first time.

All this talk about balancing research doesn't make any sense to me.
There is no rule that says each tier of science must cost progressively more science packs and progressively more research time.
Exactly what makes these differences invalid?

The game can be designed to have variance in the ...

This could really annoy new players, I recommend this gets a solution.

Proposal: Miner must have sulfuric acid to attempt mining uranium.

I restarted my PC and ran the update a second time, everything worked fine.

Same bug happens with the Burner Mining Drill.
When the fuel runs out on a burner mining drill, the sound continues to play.
0.12.10

I wouldn't be surprised if the same code is being used to activate/deactivate playing the sound file for both the electric and burner mining drills.

I was hooked by The Hydra Dilemma

I strongly urge the devs to consider the space idea as a new game with a different gameplay focus from Factorio.

I agree, even if we only have horizontal and vertical passages this would be great.

Underground train tunnels, why didn't I think of that.
It fits the current theme of belts going underground.

I like the Let's Plays and think a Let's Play subforum would do more good than ill.

They'd have to watch 4 episodes, 1 hour and 20 minutes approx.
One time every five days.
You have extremely exaggerated the time involved for any of the players to keep up.

I pointed out the base has changed little over the last 10 episodes there is no need for them to restart from the beginning ...

There isn't much need to spend an entire episode figuring out the general operation of everything.
I have an excellent understanding of the base from watching the videos.
The base has changed very little over the last 10+ episodes
And all the players are allowed to watch the videos after they ...

The second spoiler in JoshLittle's post is a great example of constructive feedback.
Infectum, I highly recommend you review the combat footage while reading through his analysis.

Aside from that. I used turret creep for several weeks because I sucked so bad at combat. It took me a while to get a ...

Infectum, you're getting better at combat.
I suggest you load up your savegame and just practice combat.
Place the distractors almost on top of the biter bases.
The shotgun without piercing rounds is ineffective against large biters.
The shotgun is very effective against the biter spawners.
Also I ...

These two fixes make me very happy. Knowing the items were lost, I spent stupid amounts of time making sure the underground belts and arms were empty before removing them.
Fixed that deconstructing transport-belt-to-ground would delete items they held (viewtopic.php?t=5667).
Fixed that ...
