It's possible that I'm tired of the game after playing it for several years. I think the main thing, though, is that my interests as a whole have been shifting towards reality and away from the computer as my life develops. Good on ya OP. It's a real problem that we're collectively dealing with, an...

Thanks for the posting! I shared it with many of my coworkers at my fintech company, and there was a strong show of gratitude for it. Always great to see the struggle towards progress rather than just the end result.

I think a more accurate interpretation is progress isn't always a good thing

2. To pacify with aliens is not possible, since they look and are ugly parasites. you cannot transform parasites . parasites consume death&life to exist. Missed that one. Yo do realize that the paraistes are not the biters (the natives), but the engineer (the invader) ? You're characterization ...

Dejavu. Thanks for the fix!

At least the first part of your suggestion us the same as 80525 . I think there are good arguments for and against this suggestion. I really can’t decide if I find it good or bad :) I'm not sure I entirely understand his point of view. Why would he have an issue with holding shift to place ghosts w...

Very similar to this fixed issue https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=65679&p=403349&hilit=zoom+using+key#p403349 except it is happening on the map view that is in the train schedule window. To reiterate, the map zooms faster than intended when using a keyboard keybind to zoo...

Here's the situation as it is today: There is a building (or two) built and you would like to move it one to the left. You have none of that building in your inventory. You use Q to select it before removing it. This puts a ghost in your hand, since there are none in your inventory. You remove the b...

HI, I just started playing Xander Mod yesterday and I'm having a great time. I've tried other recipe rework mods before, and I can't put my finger on why, but this is the first that's felt this coherent. I have a thing with stories and games where the suspension of disbelief relies on consistency. M...

Do we get 1.1 today? I really want the train stop limits.

My guess would be Tuesday next week. They don't like to release right before the weekend, in case something goes wrong.

God Bless.

i have spent sooooooo many hours trying to make this train thing happen with just flipping stations on and off and it never worked. SOOOOO EXCITED.

Me too man, me too.

Covid is not a relatively deadly flu, but it's not your fault the prevailing religious narrative has decided overreacting to it is the "moral" thing to do. Personally I like the green pollution color, not that other colors wouldn't be good too. It sounds like it would be straightforward fo...

On some of the stuff brought up in the WoW section, I think that it is important to understand WHY they added the tools they did. If for example, you were the only person in your group of friends who plays, or if you aren't very good in chatting, being able to find a group to play this content migh...

I agree they've certainly read the heavy oil suggestion and seemingly disagree with it through silence, but given how nice an idea it seems, people wonder what their thoughts on it are. Though we could have also simply missed their thoughts on it (pls link). [...] Adding cracking with basic oil pro...

You are saying exactly what I'm thinking. And the devs have decided to ignore us on this. They've also made AOP even more of a mandatory rush, when they claim to want to make it less important to rush it. Yes, Construction bots (ie: Heavy Oil) are that important. When you grok them it's one of the ...

The Oil Changes: Too bad you seem locked in to this. Pushing back construction bots is not a "fun" change. The suggestion made by the user last week, to have Basic Oil Tech produce Heavy Oil only which must then must be cracked down, was the most elegant solution. You learn about the diff...

To add to this after reading the friday facts, fluid wagons do carry too much for mixed loads. 75k crude would have to be paired with ~30 cargo wagons full of iron and copper in order to be turned into most anything. Because I really don't want to be incentivised to deal with barrels and trains, may...

With the recent change making fluid wagons only able to contain one liquid each, I'm having a tough time justifying their use. Using a cargo wagon and barrels gives you 33% more fluid, and using filters you can carry multiple types of fluid per cargo wagon. The big downside to cargo wagons being bar...

A small thing that makes a big difference: add a (tip number)/(total number of tips) somewhere on the tips window. I am much more likely to read tips if I have an idea of where I am in the tip list. It is really nice to have an idea of how many you've read and how many you have left when reading thr...
