Re: Friday Facts #129 - The late game

- Create a deep mining well , like the oil well, scattered around the map, where you can put the deep mining drill that has bigger numbers. I think that's my favorite. So you'd basically have your regular patches that produce regular ore, then you'd have the deep sites produce dirty ore indefinitel...

Latency Hiding in Multiplayer

Is there a target version for the implementation of latency hiding? I'm guessing it's pretty complex, I'd love to hear more about it. That input ... action delay is pretty irritating. Not trying to be a pain about it, I don't even know if it's planned or possible since they haven't really talked abo...

Re: Endgame concerns[POLL]

I find the whole space factory idea kind of bizarre. Seems like a really awkward thing to plop into the game flow, especially as an end goal.

Re: What's your hotbar look like?

Early game:
Belt - Inserter - LH Inserter - Splitter - UG Belt --- Sm Elec. Pole - Repair Pack

Shuffle other stuff in and out depending on what I'm doing, upgrade to faster/better variants once that's automated and scaled.

Late game:
The same, plus a bunch of blueprints.

Re: Friday Facts #44 - Decision making

I really like the style Factorio has going for it, kinda feels like "Cobbled Sci-Fi". But I don't really get the right kind of vibe from any of those tanks, sorry. :(

Re: Friday Facts #43

If A and B order to build the building on the same location in tick 101, the tick is executed in 101+latency (lets say latency is 5), so in tick 106 it is executed, but every player executes tick 106 only when it has inputs from tick 101 from all players confirmed. In that moment, it executes the a...

For what it's worth, i'd prefer fuzzy, less accurate shadows if it meant they'd actually follow the light cycle correctly.

Re: Friday Facts #38

The turret bug is very game breaking for 0.10.0 for me as well.

Not really complaining, mind you. I'm just playing 0.9.8 while I wait. I did like the sounds and all that while I was playing 0.10.0!

Re: Fight

Until respawn rates change (and with them the entire combat system), thats the balance we have. We will revisit the combat system in the future. I think that making less but stronger enemies together with adding different kind of enemies is one possible way to go. Then we could have lower spawning ...

Re: [0.9] Big Worms at start

Yeah, development time is the big sink in that approach. I'm not that concerned about added complexity, I've found that complexity of that sort is only really a problem (from a user confusion standpoint) if the interface can't organize it correctly. One nice thing about approaching this as a set of ...

Re: [0.9] Big Worms at start

I think I'd like to see tackling small bases be more feasible in the beginning, there's very little curve. My biggest issue with the bases themselves is that it feels like your either equipped to demolish everything with impunity, or you have virtually no chance. As far as general starting condition...

I'm loving almost everything in 0.9, especially the added complexity from the intermediate components, and I'm having quite a bit of fun integrating the new oil resource into my designs. One thing that comes to mind that I have an issue with is the chemical plant. I dislike how many different things...

Re: Friday Facts #19 The release buzz

This might sound weird, but the first time I passed on Factorio was playing the demo and finding the overall aesthetic of the GUI to just feel really old and ugly. Reminded me of really crappy java UI's I've had to deal with in the past. Had nothing to do with the gameplay, which I remembered later ...

Re: "Black box" factories from blueprints

And I find that repetition meaningless and valueless. There's no comparison to Sim City 4's abstractions if it loses accuracy, that's a world away from the kind of simplification I'm talking about, not remotely comparable. But ultimately yes, I was already agreeing with you. It's not needed right no...
