While I understand the decision, the shift from Longterm EA to Release Only makes me sad.

Great Early Access Games (Like Ark, Factorio) made me come back to the game time and time again - ramping up the hours.
When a game is released I usually play through it once and am done with it afterwards ...

In regards to the Order of the Buttons:

What we did in all our programs is Ordering them by System Default.
This way all users experience it like they are used to.

And the work overhead is pretty small since the positions of the buttons is just a reversal of the coordinates...

Das würd dann im Englischen genau so gelten.

Jeder weiss was gemeint ist .

Und Vanilla ist sowieso überall ungenau (Prozessoren z.B. stellt man auch aus deutlich mehr Subkomponenten her und du kannst ja mal verscuhen nen elektrischen Greifarm ohne elektronische Bauteile herzustellen...)

So ist es ...

Well reviewers normally wait till release before they review a game. Some good reviews could get the game noticed by people who haven't already seen it.

Yeah, but the early-access reviews stop at the same time.

Also: The best review for Factorio is the percentage of thumbs up on Steam.
I and my ...

as for the rest of the response, you guys are too offensive. seriously, if you doesn't like my thread just get out.

Same could be said for you...

It's a sandbox game.
The Devs won't make a Theme-Park game out of it, just because 0.0001 percent of their customers would like that.

And like others ...

Day -3:
Hmmm, why does steam say I'd like this game - It looks like s***

Day -2:
Hmmmm, Factorio again - lets watch some twitch-streams

Day -1:
Hmmmm, there is a demo. Lets try that

3h later: Well that was real fun - Let's sleep a night over it

Day 0:
Nothing factorio - had to work late :)

Day ...

Do you have use for following scenario:

- Heavy Modded save (Bobs+Angels+SpaceX+RSO+Some Convenience Mods)
- Multiple Drone Networks (1 Large connecting the Rails - Many Small ones for Cityblocks)
- Running relatively smooth in SP
- Running below 20FPS in MP at gamespeed 1
- Running Stable at ...

For a commercial 1.0 release, you might want to release for holiday (2018-2020 somewhere around there :D ).
For a full commercial release, the holiday period is critical for sales and january/february release would be commercial suicide.

Like most early-access games, I don't think it matters that ...

Sad to hear, that there probably won't be any real multithreading in the "near" future.

Especially since i own a Ryzen 1600X, which seems to be worse than my Ivy-Bridge i5 (Which is used as my Server right now) for Factorio.

But at least now there is some definity, which probably means I'll have ...

You should check again.

You can single sort Iron, Copper, Lead and Tin from crushed ores.

To get single-Ore output the next 5, you need Chunks, Crystals for the 5 after that.

For Tungsten you need purified.


You can However get most of the ores one Tier earlier by doing multi-output sorting.

You should allow building a mod-pack with the graphics IF your mod is included also.

If thats not in, i can't use it for a MP-Server, since I am not allowed to redistribute.
And there would be the possibility for the Factorio-Devs and the Server-Owners to be liable for unintended Copyright ...

Did you try forwarding the port 34197 (default Factorio-Port) on the hosts router (to the hosts computer) and then connecting via Direct Connect?

My server had massive problems, connecting to the matching server, so i decided to stop listing the server alltogether (also helps reduce the risks of ...

I could probably test this myself, but I hope someone has some real-life experience (or done the testing already) on this.

So here is my question:

I run a heavily modded headless Linux Factorio Server. (Bobs/Angels/SpaceX including Betas, about 30-40 smaller convenience Mods).

We're not that far ...

Have a few thoughts about this one (didn't read through all 7 pages of posts before writing this, so some or all of this could already have been mentioned):

1st: I'd love to have the option to switch GUI's (I don't know how GUI-Elements are implemented, so i don't know how difficult this would be ...

Most games are private.

It's quite easy to get griefed, private games are easier to control (Griefers are getting kicked / new PW and that's it).

Also MP is requiring communication, which is easier in private games.

Just look on reddit, i found 10 ppl for my Angels/Bob/SpaceX within a day...

Like the Title suggests, I am looking ppl to start a new Game with Bob's and Angels.

I'd put a few convenience Mod's like Nanobots and Fast Start into the Mix.
What convenience-mods we use will be up to us (I am open for discussion).

I can host the factorio and a TS-Server. Discord would be ...

I read about it.

But since the Threads owner is searching for either german or english players, i wasn't sure how the rules would translate.

We have a german server with Bob's, SpaceX and a few convenience-Mods (ModMyFactory-Pack is available) - write a PM when interested. Since we are a german group i'll write mire details in German than in English and hope to be in compliance with the rules anyhow.


Wir haben nen deutschen Server (Wir ...

I'd rather take a decider combinator.

They allow you to do nearly anything in this game if you're willing to put the work in learning the logic.

Mache ich wenn ich dran denke und nicht nur zwischen Arbeit - Fahren -Essen und Factorio-Sucht wechsle (geht mir irgendwie schon seit ich das Game zu Beginn meines Urlaubs vorletzte Woche gekauft habe so - 160+ Stunden innerhalb von < 2 Wochen ist schon krass...).

Zu zweit ist Bobs schon knackig ...
