Bots are getting nerfed? Be still my heart, maybe there will be some interesting mega-bases soon instead of big, boring bot farms. Also the splitter improvements make me very happy. YES! really can't wait to get to a place where stamping down requesters/providers is not so infinitely better than ev...

i love everything about this week's FFF so much


so much thoughtful consideration


and couldn't agree more on the considerations about game design (fun === optimal, so choices mean more than one thing can be viably optimal)

I would vote to remove logistics bots as well -- they never appealed to me like you say "win win win". I say swiss army knife solution. I only use them for player supply currently and that is a valuable role. If you have played modded minecraft I have the same opinion of the easy item, fl...

> A universe where Factorio never had this feature. Construction bots were eventually added, and using bots to move items freely is nothing more than an idea that pops up from time to time but it's quickly discarded due to it breaking the game. I wholeheartedly agree with the rant about logistics b...

i really dig what this mod adds, early-ish game toolbelts + a bit extra inventory is so great been really enjoying it having it in my games, but have noticed that since 0.16 it is having trouble keeping the bonuses active whenever other mods upgrade i end up having toolbelts/inventory reset to base ...

What do you mean with that inserters will compress? I think all this little things that we can optimize in the Factorio is great and makes the game interesting to play in the long run. I think belts shouldn't be automatically be compressed but be something you after playing for while see and think ...

I'd be so sad if in the end inserters end up compressing a belt by default at least make it require undergrounds, or splitters, or sideloading... something having it be slightly more complicated to compress would be a forcing factor towards less boring smelter columns and probably create some variet...

this is awesome, i'm actually loving that belts are harder to compress now... undergrounds always felt too cheaty

hoping devs don't ever fully "fix" it so we get to keep seeing cool stuff like this instead

big thanks for all the amazing work you all have put into this i have almost 2k hours of factorio now (started late on 0.14), loved it throughout just completed my first 0.16 vanilla playthrough, all default except cranked water and cliffs to the max.... it was almost impossible to build a bus or tr...

great read i've just done a lot of single track train setups in 0.16 since i was playing in a world with ridiculous amounts of water and cliffs (and forcing myself to not build _any_ cliff explosives nor landfill... so pretty much impossible to have multiple lines) just sad i didn't read some of the...

thanks for all the great work

hi, I'm currently getting this error when using ModMyFactory (v1.5.6, factorio 0.15, tried with both the standalone version from the factorio website and the steam version) System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at ModMyFactory.ViewModels.OnlineModsViewM...

awesome, thanks for the suggestions.


looking forward to see what you'll do with 0.15 : )

Hi, I have a very similar issue, but haven't yet found the solution for it yet. I'm playing a heavily modded campaign, so I don't believe this is a Bob's mod specific issue, but I suppose it is worth a shot: I got one research (missile shooting speed 5) that requires MK1 and MK2 science packs . Any ...
