okay, i really like the whole biter egg thing, especially it having an actual risk if things go wrong; something i find to be lacking in, well, most factory building games really; plus i really like the idea of repurposing the biter nests rather than just making some brand new machine, it really ...

i'm very much loving all of these, especially how well they convey the vibe of each environment. my only real criticism is that Fulgora's music, while good in itself, kinda feels too.. techno-y? and could do with maybe being slowed down a bit; the clearer rhythm feels more like combat music than ...

very big fan of the big machines (pun not intended), they really hit the industrial vibes of the game much better imo than the older small ones, especially the foundry. i'm also loving the idea of molten metal handling, and i hope it'll get used for more complex production chains, turning scaling ...

big fan of the new UI, and especially the AND and OR in the decider, and the selector also seems useful

however since this stuff is being worked on, most of the times i work with complex circuits, the biggest problem tends to be following the wires, so some type of overlay thingy that shows wires ...

haven't been here in a while, this was definitely interesting enough that i have some thoughts however

first off, the expansion looks great, seems like it fits the Factorio visual style well, and is concise enough to not have my main issue with the SE mod, which is that it's incredibly long-winded ...

+1 for gitlab support, although any arbitrary git support would be even nicer since git is decentralised by nature (despite MSFT/github trying to make it not), and some selfhost their git or use platforms such as codeberg or Framagit (which I use)

As TheOddler said, it could even be a generic URL ...

My only complaint is that the worms and nests are too smooth, as others have mentioned too.

The train GUI looks great, but I'd have the option to collapse the condition list for each station.

The tags seem very useful, especially the map ping. I'll finally be able to precisely point out which block of instant noodles I'm complaining about to my friend.

Also, petition to bring back the pickaxe.

I like how Compilatron has a little floppy drive on the front.

It is also adorable, and I hope it will exist in freeplay.

Now we just need the spidertron.

That one does look a lot better indeed.

I didn't even remember pipe shadows were a thing...

Can you tell what was better in it, other than the sharpness?

Also, this one should be just as sharp.

I have made some tweaks to the hr-sprite for the tower, now it looks a lot better:
On a side note, guess who remembered to save the original blender file and now only has a 720x720 render of the tower to work with.

the substructure of the normal resolution tower looks better somehow.

I know, I'm not quite sure what is off with the high-res one, but will try to fix it at some point.

i made images for the reactor and breeder reactor by layering the vanilla reactor onto it.
maybe it's not perfect but i would ...

Here is a cooling tower I just made for you, feel free to use:
Note that it's a bit low-res, will make a high-res one soon

EDIT: High-Res version with slightly fixed shadows:

I disagree with the removal of the queue.

For older players with 800+ hours, it is just tedious selecting each research manually.



Also, Spidertron when?

Shame, it was way better than that vanilla nuclear.

Just a quick question, how did you make the textures for your models?

Very nice! I like that you got the button order the correct way.

The exchange string window looks a bit off on top of the adjustments IMO

Just a quick question; Will we finally get the spidertron?

The line between production 2 and engine has a one pixel offset. As a hobbyist graphics guy, this would make the game literally unplayable.

On a (more) serious note, I like the fact that you will research the science packs separately, and that you won't have to restart in the campaign. I might even ...
