Idea for a tip:

This is a problem that I had, and saw it in a few streamers that were new to the game — new players don't even consider that it's possible to put productivity modules into labs, or even science packs recipe; even if they are already using them for blue circuits.


Even fewer ...

When the worms die please do not have them fall in random directions. They should be pushed away from the nuke by the shockwave.

Note how this conventional weapon, the Daisy Cutter BLU-82, has knocked the trees down such that they end up pointing back to the blast origin.

Beacon re-redesign is fantastic

Love the module visibility

Images were not working for me when I started reading the FFF. They just appeared now on a refresh.

Nice video, very clearly shows the empties being ejected, bigger than I thought. Also it looks like they water cool some of the guns in the later part of the video, didn't know that was a thing.

Real world heat management is better with shelled projectiles, that's true, but heat management isn't important for a

The sound during rotation should be a bit louder.


Definitely NOT. It should be quieter. The difference between the rotation and the firing event should be huge in comparison. I want a big contrast, not a loud motor and slightly louder artillery. Quiet motor and max volume artillery.

I don't see how fixing the trigonometric functions during the development of the multiplayer is a rookie mistake

You are responding to a slur, not an argument. Just disengage.

Everything looks super obvious to us after you've built it, debugged it and then explained it carefully in an FFF. We ...

Wow. You guys just keep making rookie's mistakes when it comes to programming, it's embarrassing.

They sold 1.5M copies of this game. If the bug managed to survive undetected through 10s or 100s of millions of hours of game time it is not serious. Some of us played hundreds or thousands of hours ...

Good point, beacons are only for speed.

R3vo wrote: Fri Mar 20, 2020 3:07 pm Any chance the light in the middle of the beacon could adjust its color depending on what module is used inside it? Blue for speed, green for efficiency and puple/red for production?

Oh that would be SWEET!

Looks fancy, but in my opinion its too much detail. The Beacon is a building which is in end-game nearly everywhere so i think it has to hide a bit between the other buildings. It should set itself in the background so you can see the other buildings more clear.

Mod debugger looks amazing, great work indeed!

Youtube: Why Satisfactory Is So Addictive (11:19)

Satisfactory has big boots to fill. It's not easy to take a cult classic game, recreate its mechanics and recapture it's addictive essence. It's even harder to take a classic game and change those mechanics in a way that improves the overall ...

But no story?



- No story.
- No exploration gameplay.
This makes me sad

Makes me sad too. A story is about the only thing I thought was missing. Well, a campaign too, but mostly a story.

One thing I tend to explore for is natural choke points created from water or cliffs so I can avoid ...

Those readership spikes are huge, 3-4x the traffic relative to the troughs. Shows the importance of the regular FFF content.

How did you even know they existed? I certainly didn't know until Steam told me about this cool indie game I might like.

It was peer to peer and I had joined someone else's game. After the sync and restart I noticed it took 20+ minutes. I asked the guy about it and he said it was the WideChests. Thanks for this info about RAM usage, explains a lot!

There is a 0% chance I would have ever heard of Factorio, much less bought it if the game wasn't on Steam.

I already had a payment/trust relationship with Steam that I wouldn't have been willing to create with some random "Wube" company. Of course I wouldn't have gotten that far as my only game ...
