At least, the poll says, that the names proposed by the devs are not that popular. Although, not many have participated for a realistic impression.

The 35-page discussion was very low quality, mostly talking about unimportant things like the name and useless critique based on misunderstanding of the quality system. And it was mostly redundant. It wasn't really 35 pages of discussion, it was 35 pages of the same post redundantly posted in copie...

I also miss the opportunity to buff belts with quality. IMO it would be enough, if you don't have different speeds at each stage, but at least at some stages. And blue belt only, would also be enough. I would imagine something like: - normal 45 items per sec. - uncommon 60 (double red belt) - rare ...

One question comes to my mind, when thinking about the trigger techs: Do I have to select it beforehand? And/or can it trigger, while researching something else? IMO, it should be totally automatic, without selecting anything, and finish, while researching something else. Selecting it is optional (...

BNW should work without problem with the Sea Block Pack, which itself contains everything necessary from Bobs and Angels.

Did you try the whole modpack, which is the recommended way:

Did you the start the game as a BNW scenario?

Overall, good stuff!

Honestly, the factory calculability is very simple and the same calculation over and over again. I don't want to become a mental arithmetic world champion, but I want to solve complex problems which are not exactly computable. These problems have to be solved by a clever control system. But maybe y...

To those who think, that SA might be a light version of SE or that it contain lesser content than some mods: - The factorio mod support is what is the basis of all those mods. Without the continuous from the factorio devs to support all of this, you'd only see a fraction of the mod variety. You can ...

I had wished something ……… more regarding topography of the landscape like mountains, sea, different biomes, etc. Each of the 4 planets could have different biomes right? From the images it seems likely this will be added… (to also make them easily distinguishable) Yeah, different biomes most likel...

Finally some news on the expansion. Part of me is a bit disappointed, that it's "only" an extension to space. I had wished something like digging tunnels to an underworld, exploring the deep sea of nauvis or more regarding topography of the landscape like mountains, sea, different biomes, ...

IMO, the game should not crash with a bad blueprintstorage.dat. It should rather ignore or sanitize the problem. Not sure, maybe devs would like to have a look at the file and check what happens with it? The blueprint.dat file is not supposed to be corrupt in this way. This kind of corruption indic...

If you simply want to override some recipes of K2, you probably should do in the data-updates state and/or let your mod depend on K2 If you call factorio with the --dump-data flag, you get an output file of the structure of actual existing recipes, etc. (f.e. if a recipe uses normal/expensive or not...

Maybe something less complicated compared to Py's: - Krastorio 2 - Industrial Revolution 3 - FactorioExtended. Older - Space Exploration, but I guess, it's rather long. - Good old vanilla Death World Marathon or Death World If you like biter challenge, you could also try Bob's enemies. But Rampant s...

Some question come to my mind: - Is the save from Windows? Does a new game started only on linux works fine? - Why is the game under /opt/games/factorio/ ? Do you have the proper RW access? - As linux user, I could try the save file and check, if it crashes for me, too. I don't have encountered anyt...

You might have a look at this:

It's a hack with an invisible beacon or something.

Aha, ok. Thanks for the info.

I prefer to not be a beta tester. If my game breaks after spending 50+ hours on a map I would be devastated.

Just stay on normal release. Although experimental release is usually more stable than other games' stable release

As long-term user of this forum, I can say, that the factorio staff's behaviour is usually very correct.

And it is rare in a game industry, that you can interact with the devs directly via forum.

Achievements are fine and reasonable for vanilla.
If achievements should be enabled for modded experience is only a question of all or nothing. And they decided for nothing, because it's less trouble than all, i guess.
Every solution between all or nothing is unnecessarily complicated.
