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, UPS, ...

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 omnipresent....

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 sneak ...

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 que...

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 I ...

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 use...

OK, I did some basic clean up on the laptop, and the browser, and things are running a little better.

If it hangs again... it hasn't for a few days now, then I would like to resurrect this thread. Otherwise... Thanks.

This is the file from yesterday.

OK, did some timing too....
Steam version 95 seconds load.
Pure version 75 seconds load IF it doesn't lock at the 40%

Sorry forgot to answer... laptop is permanently on the power cord.

What is the difference between the steam version, and the "direct from you" version? Since they are both on the same laptop, they seem to be accessing the same files, is there a way to seperate them completely?

Tried this... On the Steam version it felt as if the general loading took longer but it is hard to be sure without timing it, and it varies every time.

Was having slow loading issues with the Steam version, so I loaded a new version direct from you. With the Steam version there was a pause loading at 40%. This could last from 20- 40 seconds. Sometimes pressing ESC seemed to help. With the direct version it pauses at 30% and then locks up at 40%. It...

I actually greatly enjoyed this Friday Facts! Always nice to see some "behind the scenes" pictures of the office and the team. :D Hopefully the new larger office works out well. I look forward to seeing it! It's great the PvP event was mentioned here. I think there is a lot of potential for Factori...

Landmines are not OP in themselves.... the issue was that they were sprinkled like confetti throughout an enemy base. The most OP item was the PDL of Anti. These personal lasers were faster and more powerful that static lasers... illogical.

It should be at 39% as that is the point at which the loding always pauses... or hangs.

Shame... but understandable... but when will we get the 0.16.17 WITH filter splitters......PLEASE!

Oh and the mod portal.... I hadn't noticed. So is it better... don't know? How would I recognise the difference.
