The Map view where train tracks go diagonal thru the wall makes me wonder whether rail gates will work on diagonal or curved tracks now. Looking at the map some more, they're actually elevated tracks going *above* the wall. Looking at the map even more, the fact that there are walls & defenses ...

This FFF was amazing, the new planet looks exciting, & you've done a great job setting a dreary mood for the planet. Questions about the alien architecture--is it possible for the character to harvest the tiles of ruined alien pavement (similarly to how you can pick up stone bricks/concrete to p...

I'm excited about the change!

I'm super excited about the expansion now!
Good luck with the development process!

I haven't changed any graphics settings (either on my computer or in Factorio) in quite a while.
I'll try updating my graphics drivers.
Thanks.

What did you do? I launched the latest experimental version (1.1.46) of Factorio from Steam (running on my Windows computer). This is how I normally launch the game. What happened? I turned my attention away from the computer for a minute. When I came back, an error message was on the screen. The g...

Yes please! I'd really like it to be something more in line with the visual style of the rest of the game .

If we could have logistic networks associated with players have the same name as that player, that would be super awesome.

One potential problem with that: both grass and trees are already green.
Not to say green is a bad color for lasers.

Personally, I would prefer laser turrets, gun turrets, and flamethrower turrets to be all the same color because in my mind these defensive structures all serve the same purpose.

This was exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you so much!

Hello, I want to access the name of the current scenario from within control.lua. How does one go about doing that? I can't seem to find anything in LuaGameScript that allows me to access this property. If it helps, I'm trying to print a message to the console, but only in a very specific scenario t...

- Fly ( So they ignore walls etc. ) + Maybe some special Anti fly turret - Swim ( So they can ignore water ) + Maybe some special Anti swim turret I dislike the idea of a turret that can only target one type of enemy, because it's useless for every other type of enemy, and since enemies aren't the ...

add eff modules to steam turbines is not bad, actually. It's like an upgrade to gain more power without increasing UPS. Problem is, that the most ideas are just, plug it in and *magic*: more power. Not so interesting, maybe? Its not magic. The word efficiency is used IRL: coal energy efficiency is ...

That'd be nice, if we could plant trees for beautification or industrial-scale forestry.
However, wood is only useful in the early game, so I don't see this happening anytime soon.

Speed and prod works very well because they doesnt compete each other for slot. Prod goes to machine, speed goes to beacon. If eff wants to play nicely they must find their own place. One of the challenges with finding a place for efficiency modules is that their only effects are to reduce energy c...

What if the background was white for whitelisted items and black for blacklisted items?

Wouldn't mind an infinite tech -- or at least a limited-repeatable, like braking force -- for damage resist thresholds, just to cut down on the annoying 'a wall got scratched!' notifications. The way damage resistance works in Factorio is that flat resistance cannot reduce damage to 0, but instead ...

I would really like to see this in the game. This feature could also be used for NOT going to the item pickup station if the train still has plenty left in it but still needs to make deliveries.

+1 good idea What if at the left or right edge of the blueprint there was a little icon that showed you which key to press to flip it horizontally, and at the top or bottom edge there was an icon that showed you how to flip it vertically? That way there's less text to read & it's communicated si...
