Re: Friday Facts #376 - Research and Technology
It's common to see a production line with people/machines checking the products for defects. It's not much of a stretch if they also check for the rare, particularly good item. And maybe one day those production line workers will tell the tale of the legendary copper wire that was so good they used ...

Re: Friday Facts #375 - Quality
One of the benefits of the proposed colour/naming scheme is that it's familiar. Something to consider.

Grouped Train Stations (Meta Stations/Depot handling)
I would like it if you could group together train stations into a single "meta" station, that includes multiple stations within it. For example, I can assign the meta-label "Copper Meta Drop 1" to multiple stations in addition to the normal station name , and any train arriving t...

To the Devs reading this, I feel your pain. Even if people choose not to use this feature, they can (and will) still complain.

Re: Can't understand hate for handcrafting and love for early malls
One thing I'll add is that if you're finding that the early things in your production line are eating all of your resources, split your lanes so that they go to different things. For example, if your belt assemblers are eating all the cogs so that your electric mining drills aren't getting any, spli...

Re: Can't understand hate for handcrafting and love for early malls
Also note that the early mall will be crafting belts, underground belts, splitter, inserters, furnaces, electric mining drills all in parallel and ahead of time.... Ah, I thought, you wanted to follow up, that the precrafted item buffer is major resource sink and can compete with progressing somewh...

Re: Can't understand hate for handcrafting and love for early malls
The only things you need early mid game in very large quantities are belts and rails. Everything else can be made from mats almost instantly. Why do I need setting up inserters/splitters/palls/etc production when I can right click several times and handcraft them enough for everything but late game...

Re: This Game is surprising awesome again and again
"am i doing this right?" Depends on your goals and constraints. It's a very energy intensive way to produce copper wire. But if energy isn't a problem, then it's a very assembler efficient way. It's a very resource expensive production system, utilizing expensive components to produce copp...

You guys are still arguing? You realize that there is massive propaganda on both sides, right? We will never know what's actually going on.

Re: Why can't I put fish back into the water?
The true beauty is in a working factory WITH a fish pond. The expansion is probably all about fish ponds. It's the obvious next move.

Re: Why defending is a dilemma and enemies need polish

The entire point of the factory would be to automatically create and resupply your RTS tank and drone army... ...I thi...

Re: Thoughts on Factorio and how I would make it better...
Biters are not supposed to be rewarding, they're supposed to be a PITA and add a dose of challenge. If you want moar challenge, add moar biters. If you don't wan extra challenge, disable them in your map settings. And this is exactly the kind of logic and wrong design philosophy which make so many ...
