Re: Friday Facts #375 - Quality

Seems like an april fools joke, the naming is absolutely cringe, generic gacha mmo scheme complete with rng mechanics? factories dont even work like this especially not factorio factories.... sure binning and tolerances exist in real life, but that is not even close to what this is. I hope this isn'...

Re: [0.17] Sea Block Pack 0.3.3

Is it possible to change the frequency at which worms spawn? Right now it seems they spawn on every available spot on worm islands. I'd like to have some biter spawners show up but the worms leave no room.

Roboport networks

TL;DR I'd like to see multiple roboport networks so we can set up roboports everywhere and not worry about accidentally connecting ports we don't want connecting What ? I think it would be a great idea if we could assign a value to a roboport after it's built like 1,2,3,4,5,6 and it would represent...

Re: The purpose of automation.

I agree with your point. I love factorio, it's an amazing game but i can never play for longer than 40-50 hours before taking a long break (2-6 months) because i get to a point where i just think "What's the point?" there's nothing to do other than build a factory which towards the end gam...

Re: Getting rid of alien artifacts is a bad idea

This is not so clear, in my opinion, if I think the story. I am going to build industry to produce rockets capable of satellite launches. What artifacts could uncivilized anthropod like aliens which are far less clever than ants give to encance that process? I do not want to eating in Factorio. May...

Re: Does Math Ruin this Game?

Math like this ruins mostly every game for the casual player. Just look at games like WoW and similar games. Unless you PERFECT your math you won't get very far in pvp or even boss fights. Factorio however! Math doesn't matter and i love it. Ive been playing quite a long time and still dont care for...

Re: Getting rid of alien artifacts is a bad idea

Basically this. By removing alien artifacts they have successfully made aliens optional - which means you don't have to go around killing aliens, which means there's not much point to going around killing aliens, which means you might as well just turn them off. Which means there's a bit less of a ...

Re: Getting rid of alien artifacts is a bad idea

Just to jump in here, I agree, there needs to be a reward for destroying biter bases, other than just holding them off. I'm sure its been mentioned, but alien artifacts should simply be used in strictly military sciences. Lore-wise, it makes sense to use alien parts to research the best way to kill...

Re: Getting rid of alien artifacts is a bad idea

Only people who are new to the game would feel any sense of defending from them. Anyone who has played for more than 20 hours should know to just setup a perimter of turrets with automated ammo and evetually lasers and never even have to worry. Right now aliens are pointless and a waste of cpu. The...

Re: Getting rid of alien artifacts is a bad idea

What's the point of the aliens now then? The point is that they force you to fight and defend against an antagonistic force in the game. Without them, you could just freely expand your factory forever without any resistance. Only people who are new to the game would feel any sense of defending from...

Help making a custom scenario for unlimited resources

Hi everyone, hope this is the right place. I'm trying to create a scenario very similar to the recent crash site scenarios except i would like unlimited coal, stone, iron and copper ore with oil and (now)uranium being scarce to force expansion and exploration. I tried using Creative Mode mod(before ...

Re: Getting rid of alien artifacts is a bad idea

What's the point of the aliens now then? Just as useless as the rocket used to be. They should offer SOMETHING atleast. Maybe not mandatory for those who don't wish to play a war zone but something.

Not sure what it has to do with that, but this will help until it is fixed.

Re: Supression of the size shift of electric furnaces

I almost agree.
