Re: What's the use of RCON ?

RCON is used to allow the server to communicate and send commands to the game - for example, some servers will send chat between an external service (eg. Discord) and the server; it can also allow for communication between servers and a variety of other things.

holy cow, it's so crazy that you can't see what's happening here is happening on both sides. you keep ignoring really good advice and suggestions and ways that you can just ignore this or never run into it, No you're not ignoring the solutions? so what are you asking for it to be changed for? sound...

Re: Combination of Crafting and Logistics Menu

It's an interesting suggestion, but I don't think it would bring much appreciable benefit. It seems rather cluttered to me (not elegant), and in my use they serve very different purposes: crafting covers most of the early game and becomes an as-needed later on, while logistics is for things that I n...

Re: Powered logic devices (combinators, inserters, etc.) should behave consistently under low power

I think I get the general idea, but can someone succinctly say what's inconsistent about this? Every other entity in the game works slower when not receiving full power; combinators do the exact same thing.

Re: Would it be wise to not play Factorio on Steam?

Would it be wise for me to not play Factorio on Steam, but instead, playing Factorio in standalone? There isn't a huge difference, the benefits of the standalone are playing with multiple installations, multiple large mod sets, or a fixed (old) version. If you don't buy through Steam, the devs also...

Re: Performance while running the game on Android phone

Fair point, there are a decent handful with source access. I'm not sure to what extent there are issues compiling/getting it to run, I seem to think that most of the hesitancy was desyncs/not wanting to support it, which wouldn't inhibit at least trying it. I'm not recalling anything about graphics ...

Re: Performance while running the game on Android phone

I mean, at this rate it might be almost playable emulated on ARM in a few years. Under half the startup time and 11.6 UPS higher than a Raspberry Pi 5 years ago ( ref ). I wonder when we'll break the 0 FPS ceiling. I'm curious how it would perform compiled natively for ARM linux, but I doubt we'll b...

Re: Help! We are running out of bug reports!

there are lots of "wont fix" and "minor issues" they can work on. I have a feeling they might not fix the "won't fix" ones. (Then again, history has shown that that can change if you complain enough. Sometimes.) I have a feeling that we'll be back down to 0 new ones op...

Re: CPU performance benchmarks

Maybe I'm misinterpreting your interpretation, but I consider the 5000 series quite promising - the 5600X looks like it's getting roughly comparable performance with the 9900K, so with slightly higher clocks (and maybe a slight bump due to more cores) the 5800X and 5900X could be quite promising.

Re: [1.0.0] Handle negative progress catching up

That is not what the suggetion is for, the idea is for the game automatically handling it (at least notifying the user of it) in some way. Do you think the suggestion is that anytime the catching up progress goes down, it should be abandoned as a lost cause? I thought it was for an option to quit i...

Re: Reordering of train stops in schedule

I'm not sure, but at minimum you'd have to include user_id (as I've done above, so you can tell me if this gives you a notification). You can do eg. and that works fine, so I heavily doubt that the username alone would be enough. (You can also see this in that it doesn't link the user in that case....

I’m pretty sure you can press escape and then quit game to exit the joining process.

This should probably be moved to implemented.

Or they might actually release 1.1 ;)

I've noticed that in the last major release or two that's been a theme in the couple weeks before a release - although keep in mind that at least some of the "assigned" ones have to be, you know, finished.
