It may be a great idea, or not. But it is locked away behind tech on a different planet? I have been playing a lot of Baldur's Gate 3 recently, and one thing that stands out and puts this game Head and Shoulders above others is that they allow multiple ways to get through or past or around each and ...

I have to admit, that I had hoped that the Factorio expansion would have been underground, rather than space. Shame you took the "easy" option.

That being said, then yes elevated railways are more logical than tunnels. But I am disappointed in these. They are fairground rollercoasters rather than ...

Hurrah! Hurrah! Finally no silly gaps between rails. Proper side by side tracks. Real railways! Hurrah!

I must say that the concept of quality items sounds great to me, but you did mention that some people (that includes me) don't use Beacons. Then later you mentioned the acceptable weirdness threshold, and might I suggest that Beacons breach that, as they magically transmit speed to entities around ...

The "solution" for bots running out of fuel and turning back, seems like a good idea when you have it set up as in the example. But if their start point was the nearest roboport to their destination, it wouldn't help.

Why not treat the bots like ants. If x number of bots have to turn around then ...

Wonderful. Still the best factory game in town.

But it might well match the style of their next game.

The New Hope demo levels/tutorial is fine, except that it begs the question of Backstory.

Who was here before us?
Where is/are they now?
Can we locate/rescue them?

If the Biters got so upset that they killed them, then why have the Biters calmed down again?
What is the story of the Biters?
Why ...

That was from 4 years ago, and Rseding couldn't see the point then.

But now that Rseding has SEEN the light, perhaps the new menus and pop up boxes could ALL have this useful little feature?

With all of the new UI popups, can I request ONE addition. Please add a Close Window X to the top right of EVERY popup.

I play less Factorio now as I often can only use one hand, and that is on the mouse. Being able to close windows with a mouse click would be a great benefit.

Oh my, that is your server room.... Ordinary shelving. Window open for cooling. No UPS, or are those the 2 boxea at the bottom. Come on guys you should be doing better than this.

Former Network Manager.

I forgive you so long as you keep producing such an awesome game. But server room... Airco ...

Re: Biters

Before you do anything else with them there has to be some lore to them, to explain their illogical behaviour. Then perhaps some logical changes could be made.

Let me explain.... this planet Nauvis has been home to the Biters for a long time. Yet when we get here they are NOT ...

TL;DR
A new class of biters for later game. Chameleon Biters that can infiltrate your base. Only visible whilst they are moving. When still they look like a rock, tree, inserter, assembler etc.

What ?
I suggest a new late game development of the biters. Stealth biters. They should be able to ...

So last week was Pitchforks and burning torches. Now this week it is all Festivities, celebrations fireworks and cheering. I thought this was Factorio, not Rollercoaster....

But hurrah, hurrah, hurrah... love all the changes mentioned today... 100% wonderful.

No research queue, just because it would require an occassional pop up to same.... Item A research complete.

Please reconsider.... or the pitchforks will be in your air conditioning.. Now we will have to put up with constant pop ups of research complete.... please choose another. At least with a ...

This seems to work with a 1-1 train..... but would it work with a 4-8-4 train..... I have seen those things plow through another train with no problem. Or does a sideways train offer more resistance.?

Thanks, that was it...... set the directory to C:\Factorio.... and it works.

Absolutely... the Factorio.exe under C:\Program Files\Factorio2\bin\x64

Pardon my stupidity, but I WANT to use the Zip version, becasuse I want to run different versions with different mod packs etc.

But everytime I install anew version it somehow connects back to the mods and save on my primary version, which was installed by Steam.

Does anyone know what config file ...

As has been said already the yellow and orange are similar... but I think that their position will give away which is which.... we will get used to it.

The Queue "button " on top of the item graphic is subtle I understand why Kovarex missed it. But again it is something that we would rapidly get ...
