Re: [0.17.1] intro too hard
The "cost" per biter sent to attack you is scaled with the %progress of the Logistic pack technology. It starts that you need ~2% of your factory output(by pollution) dedicated to making bullets (calculated from the most polluting method) At 90% research completion it hits 100% production...

Re: [0.16.3][Linux] Video hang on game exit
I've played on a desktop 660Ti, 760, 1070 and now 1080Ti on numerous binary driver versions and had no issues. This is probably hybrid graphics related. My only laptop is an Intel-only model so I can't do meaningful testing myself.

[0.17.3] Progress bar disappears if window is resized while game is loading
I have the game set to windowed and then maximize it so I have the Gnome Shell bar at the top, showing me date/time/weather and tray icons etc. The game doesn't remember window size and position (up to you whether that's a bug), but when I maximize it while still on the initial loading screen, the p...

[0.17.1] Scripted screenshot text is scaled to UI scale, causing layout issues
I have a 4K monitor, and as such the game automatically set UI scale to 200%. It looks like this impacts the font size used in script-created screenshots, but does not change the position of the text accordingly, resulting in overlap.

Re: [0.17.1] intro too hard
My expectation is that like many people, you were expecting a tutorial and played very lazy (compared to your regular level of play). Its ok, I see it a lot. Actually it means it would have been easier for you because the attacks are based on pollution, and after automating Circuits many players le...

Re: Friday Facts #281 - For a Few Frames More
So what about Linux/UNIX OS optimization? It is similar to Windows and iOS? Factorio doesn't have an iOS version... I assume you mean OSX? Which is under the Unix umbrella, specifically in the BSD family as a proprietary variant of Darwin, but I digress. In today's FFF, they wrote off BC7 as unacce...

Re: Friday Facts #281 - For a Few Frames More
ok so if this gets optimized even more i could probably play it on a Raspberry Pi and take it with me for on the go We'd need ARM binaries first. I strongly suspect Wube has resorted to inline assembly numerous times, so this would be a substantial undertaking for hardware that would have a very ha...

Re: Did no one else notice massive nerf of tank in 0.17?
Making it push biters in addition to damaging them would also greatly help. This is probably the best solution to make the tank worthwhile. On foot, biters can mob you and pin you down. If the tank could oneshot anything for the sake of keeping moving that'd be entirely too OP. But if instead it pu...

Re: Friday Facts #275 - 0.17 Science changes
But I do not like the Idea of having all 6 ingredients slots free in assembling machine. In the FFF that brought it up, pretty much the entire community spoke out against it and Wube seemed to simply ignore the outcry. It's definitely a strange outlier for a team that's at least been transparent an...

I'm sure this has been brought up multiple times before, but has it been discussed from a balance perspective? Even with all the changes over the past few major versions to make modular and MK1 armor more interesting and viable, I find myself not bothering until MK2. I expect 0.17 to be more of the ...

Re: Friday Facts #274 - New fluid system 2
I'd say that you shouldn't prevent placing things that already know what specific fluid they should be sending or receiving i.e. offshore pumps, steam engines/turbines, anything that takes a recipe. It's straightforward enough to say "this fluid system does not match this input/output so this m...

Research changes
This takes into consideration changes that were stated to be happening in FFF. Eliminate Automation 1 Instead, give the basic assembler recipe to the player at the start of the game. Being forced to hand-craft 10 red science in a game that is so heavily focused on automation strikes me as more than ...

Re: Rocket Fuel or Nuclear Fuel for trains?
Use nuclear fuel except in extreme situations where 4.84GJ isn't enough for the train to make it to the next refueling station. Much more oil-efficient and with Kovarex enrichment you'll have U-235 coming out of your ears. Remember, you can always crack light oil to petrogas, and you never have enou...

Re: Fuel Conserving Nuclear Power Setup
Challenge: Design a 2xN nuclear reactor with the minimum number of heat exchangers. It must never waste fuel. Way simpler than it sounds. For 2x1 and 2x2, lay out a grid of 33 or 193 heat pipes next to each reactor respectively. For 2x3 up to ~2x16, put 193 heat pipes next to the end four reactors,...

Re: Fuel Conserving Nuclear Power Setup
I took a similar, but simpler approach, using a clock (combinator clock) to count out how long it takes a fuel cell to burn, and combining that with a "steam low" signal to control the fuel inserters. If the reactors aren't active, the circuit network is dormant; in addition, the reaction ...
