Re: Factorio flaws

First of all, I said in the first reply in this thread that I (almost) fully agree to Hedning1390's statements. I also would like to point out that Factorio is an awesome game that gave me many, many hours of joyfull play. Thanks for that. 2. No, the game doesn't pit efficiency against creativity. ...

Re: [POLL]Which major update do you think will end up being 1.0?

to me it seems the devs have just too much fun developing this game ... i would wish this never ends

compared to too many games that were released as early access games i am so impressed by what factorio is .. 2200+ hours of fun , frustration , excitement and fun fun fun

Re: Friday Facts #230 - Engine modernisation

but no DX10 support means no Vista support too. XP support went together with 32bit support. As far as I know DX11 is available also for Vista. But I wouldn't mind dropping Vista altogether :) and then someone will come to the forum telling all of us how he/she dropped Vista because Factorio wasn't...

Re: Mega steam engine setup in .16

Out of curiosity, why not nuclear? When someone says "100GW", they have no intention of seeing UPS ever again. Even a 10GW base is very intense for an average computer. At this point players aren't playing the Factorio that you or I know anymore. They're instead playing a vicious CPU effi...

Re: Mining Outpost, how do you make them?

In my last game, the first one where I seriously got into trains, I made a set of blueprints with two rails and large electric poles in between them. So that way I can do the rails and more or less power takes care of itself. Plus high power lines along railroad tracks are a common sight IRL, so it...

Re: Friday Facts #225 - Bots versus belts (part 2)

I'd like to take another look at the question of why bots really need to be nerfed. People have made different experiments on how bots compare to belts with regard to throughput, and in some experiments bots hold up equally well or better than belts, see the subreddit, specifically see this , this ...

Re: Friday Facts #225 - Bots versus belts (part 2)

Factorio is not a competetive game. It is a sanbox game. It is fine stuff is not well balanced. LOL! I'm saw that opinion a few times in this thread. It is basically like writing "Factorio is a sandbox game so is it fine if it sucks." - just a few levels down. No, the game should be well-...

Re: Friday Facts #225 - Bots versus belts (part 2)

The filter-splitter buff is amazing and I love it. Can't wait to see it in the next update! This opens up many new ways to use belts not just within factories, but on mixed mining fields too. Love the changes to splitters especially the priority functions. TBH I'd rather have a filter on electric m...

Re: Belts vs Bots - A response to the latest FFF

Since Factorio is predominately a creative & problem solving game, it comes down to player preference. Right, but I disagree that balance is a small consideration in Factorio just because there's no competition, when there's a mechanic that is a one-size-fits-all solution and is simple to use i...

Re: Friday Facts #224 - Bots versus belts

Stack inserters are imbalanced! Have you ever seen a real factory using mass inserters? Nor have I. Keep the inserters fast, but they should all pick up only one item, not 7 or 3! this is not true. factories have sooo many more different robotic arms / cranes etc for single or bultiple item grabbin...

Re: Friday Facts #224 - Bots versus belts

Last chance to post before the next FFF. Last chance to make the point. Nerfing the bots, though in an ideal world would have been done from the start, cannot be practically done now. Except perhaps my suggestion to give logi-bots a schedule like trains have. But that would probably cause more hass...

Interesting. :? How can users know, which setting i have chosen ? Who said, that i played on easy ? I not! But the combat is a part of the game. If it is not, why is it into the game ? I hate these discussions. I make some suggestions and the users tell me, that is not a combat or fighting game. Oh...
