Biter farms maybe?
1) Biological products ("meat", methane, etc).
2) Electricity generation by biters running in a wheel.
3) Feed biters so that they grow and breed (to replace those dying of age).

I play Factorio on PC via Steam because I'm lazy. It's a very good thing that you support Linux though, as Microsoft doesn't need any more of a monopoly than they allready have.


Linux and MacOS are "PC" too. Just saying.
Even if we're talking specifically about "IBM PC", desktop Linux is still ...

Just an unimportant off topic question.
Is (or will be) the multi-pointer functionality (2 or more active mouse cursors) supported in Factorio 2.0? Could be fun playing the game with two mice simultaneously.

Listening to the soundtrack, I think the last two planets are: 1) some kinds of glass / crystals; 2) oceanic / water world.

Will we eventually be able to build a Dyson sphere?

They'd just need straps.

Loving the development ways of Factorio.


Is it just my imagination or Factorio is acquiring more and more similarities to the first StarCraft?
Would love to play StarCraft on Factorio map, though.
Or a symbiosis of both games taking landscape+automation from Factorio and unit controls + fight ...

To the devs.

You might add an option allowing people to add their email address to the log file if they wish so.
I'd gladly provide my email address for cases when devs need some additional information from me.

Had similar issue (were 2 monitors, removed one and tried to play on the remaining which was "1"). helped.

Thank you!

Holy crap, 34 megabytes of memory! With that you could store the entirety of Doom 1 and 2 and still have 8MB to spare. That's seriously impressive!
Next challenge: Port Doom 1 and 2 to Factorio circuit network. :D
Theoretically..
it might be possible. Well, not a shooter game but some ...

There are a few instances which make this a bad idea.

Factories with fluids:
currently, all factories which have more than one fluid input, or output have them hard wired to a specific pipe, if you flip this, the pipes will be swapped around. This is probably okay if your blueprint only had that ...

Subject speaks for itself.
Please make buttons in blueprint editing window which would mirror the blueprint horizontally or vertically. Mere rotation is not usable in some cases because it changes directions of items like belts and splitters.
Mirroring would be perfect for this purpose.

Could you please move this thread to the appropriate location? Or should I just duplicate it there (feels like a bad idea)?

Interesting. But my idea focuses on underground construction, not landscape.

Essense: multilevel 2D construction with cross-level connection points.
Reason: game-depth, realism, more flexible and efficient territory usage.

Details:
1) Elevators and vertical pipes to connect the levels.
2) Switching between the levels could be done using just 2 hotkeys and/or couple of ...

I'd like to see some starcraft-broodwar-ish pvp ladder with divisions.
