I have a large collection of Factorio mods. I never run games where all the mods are activated simultaneously. I run different saved games to enable me to enjoy the mods in a proper context, and this also helps avoid incompatibility issues between them. Mod authors often update their mods to fix bug...

Thanks for fixing the crash so quickly.

IMO the one big thing that could be improved is the presentation of the players' viewpoint. At the moment, Factorio is a relatively simple top-down 2D game with a square grid. Although the 'angled' presentation of the sprites makes it look 'semi-3D', it quickly becomes apparent that the perspective ...

Please add a flying biters

Only if we can research and manufacture fly spray!

I first joined Steam in August 2004, and I've used it as my main game retailer ever since. I've now purchased 375 games on Steam, and about ten days ago, Factorio became my first ever 1,000+ hour game on the platform. The 2nd-place game is Euro Truck Sim 2, with "only" 570 hours. :D Thank ...

The biggest "fail" is nothing to do with Factorio. It's down to a player who spends "hours and hours" creating items in a game, and then expects everyone else (Factorio, Steam etc) to look after them for him while he upgrades, downgrades, and generally messes around with his inst...

How about including a few extra signal names to cover common functions and values used in circuits? IMO this could make circuit diagrams easier to read and understand by giving parts of the circuit more meaningful names. Some suggestions: 'On' & 'Off' 'Max' & 'Min' 'Left' & 'Right' 'Cloc...

Hi there. I have always created transport systems which keep different types of fluid completely separate from each other. As you have found, if any fluid is left in a pipe or a pump, and a different fluid is sent through, all you get is contaminated fluid. I don't know of any method which can "...

"Hopefully you're not getting tired of hearing about the GUI....". No way! For a game like Factorio, the GUI is really important. For new players who might be a bit overwhelmed by all of the materials and components in the game, a well-designed GUI can help them find their way around and l...

After 16.40 update on Steam, started game (no mods) and tried to load a save from 16.38 vanilla. All signals on map are just blinking red/yellow/green, trains colliding all over the place.

Thank you thank you thank you for fixing this!

Thanks for the new mod portal! It's SO much faster!

I find FNEI really useful, it saves me doing a lot of alt-tabbing in and out of the game to look at the wiki for recipe details. Thanks for developing it! However, I have a suggestion. At the moment there is no quick way to get back to the search page apart from closing FNEI and reopening it, which ...

I think adding elevation effects to the map terrain would be a terrific idea, and would give players some interesting tactical and strategic problems to solve. For example, if there were ranges of high hills or mountains on the map, with the peak areas being closed off as impassable, and with only n...
