Re: Friday Facts #377 - New new rails

I like the changed visual, didn't know i want that! I'm kinda indifferent about the rest. Was okay with the old system, both with the restriction it had the way they interacted, including with the rest of the game. Especially the latter part i'll just have to try in the new system, though its probab...

Re: Friday Facts #375 - Quality

Not super excited, but I cannot really explain why. First thought was "grindy", but it's factorio :lol: maybe it's just such a common game mechanic that it is below what I would want for factorio. But it makes a nice chance-based optimization challenge, sth base game could use some more. M...

Re: Friday Facts #306 - Experimental Demo

Ahh I think you finished the quest to put turrets near iron, then moved the turrets further out afterwards (or had turrets in both places). I will look into it but it isn't one that everyone will suffer from. Try reloading and removing your outer most turrets in the meantime. Thanks. Yes there is a...

Re: Friday Facts #306 - Experimental Demo

Sounds nice. Will replay the intro-campaing asap. At the end, does it open up into an endlessly generated map? I'd love to hear the reason if still not, since this seems an important aspect of factorio. I also wouldn't have see much of a problem with experienced players not having much difficulty be...

Re: Friday Facts #284 - 0.17 experimental

Just played the new tutorial campaign (v0.17.3), am disappointed. Not that it is bad, I just expected more. Some examples: Short & No Story. For it to replace New Hope, it is neither long enough yet nor does it have decent story / longer term goals except survival and research. No idea why green...

Re: Version 0.17.0

Chests and wooden power poles are no longer usable as fuel. Aww, that was such a fun easter egg :( Defender capsule recipe now requires flying robot frames. As consumables, they felt to expensive to me already anyway. So making them even more expensive without other improvements makes no difference...

Re: Friday Facts #274 - New fluid system 2

does this mean we can still create mixed fluid systems by using trains as intermediates? I'd hope pumps can act as some kind of separation anyway, to also let a logic network determine the content of the fluid network. In general disabling entities that would connect two fluid networks seems better...

Re: Friday Facts #256 - The little things 3

Belt Immunity Does that "stabilizer" only apply when standing or do we also loose the "running on belt" speed bonus? Tile ghost tweak I always wondered why different logistic networks don't have separate queues. That basically prevents critical modifications on my outpost while ...

Re: Friday Facts #212 - The GUI update (Part 1)

I like the new UI showing conditions of multiple stations. But the mock-ups show quite simple train schedules but already have so much stuff displayed. All the buttons and highlights are distracting. I hope that can be made less intrusive. Maybe by not showing all the edit controls until the player ...

Re: Friday Facts #209 - Optimisation is a way of life

I might be misunderstand the electric update... did the game so far really iterate over every (active) electric consumer every tick? I thought for sure they group similar ones together, like they do with solar panels & accumulators! Also since you really want to anyway group factories with the s...

Re: Factorio Friday Friday Facts #203 - Logistic buffer chest

Why do they want to add a new chest type? Can't we just use the storage chest with "requests" set for this? As long as nothing is set, it keeps the old behavior, once items are specified (maybe even by circuit network) non matching stuff is cleared and... but i guess having the feature som...

Re: [MOD 0.13] Wagon Capacity Color

Love the mod but it doesn't scale that well on / isn't optimized for larger games. In my save this mod takes about 1.3ms, nearly 10% of total time available when targeting 60fps. In comparison, Bottleneck does kind of the same function for production facilities of which i have at least 25 times as m...

Seems like you fixed the bad weather god in scripts\weathers.lua\SetWeather(...) ! :D But the other chance values seem unchanged, thus now it's sunny pretty much all the time. In general i'd like a more realistic weather state machine as well as more realistic sun light. Are improvements coming in t...
