In Steam you can choose what version of the game you play with. It will update to the latest by default, but you can choose 1.1. Even when mods support 2.0 there's no guarantee that the changes won't cause problems in your factory, so it may be advisable not to switch on an existing playthrough.

Or alternatively, something just as good or better to accomplish similar goals would be if fluids could be assigned to groups, and there was a version of fluidbox filter that allowed a set of fluid groups. I believe that making filter a list of fluids was already ruled out for performance reasons ...

Currently fluid boxes have a minimum and maximum temperature, but only when filtered to allow a single fluid. Now that fluids have been completely reimplemented, is this constraint on these parameters still necessary for the new implementation? Could the fluid segment inherit the highest minimum and ...

TL;DR
Improve customizability of how modded recipes interact with the new Quality system.

What ?
Add new quality related fields to LuaRecipePrototype allowing greater customizability of Quality system on a per recipe basis.
Add a minimum_quality field to ItemIngredientPrototype. Below this ...

Iron ore generation is not significantly different in Nullius than in Vanilla. If you adjusted the default settings to lower frequency patches that would explain it, or if you installed an optional mod like RSO. Normally you can see where the ore will be in the map preview before you start. But this ...

Heat exchangers are a component in generating power. They use thermal energy to create steam. The heat to power then can come from solar collectors. Later, geothermal, and much later nuclear also are sources of thermal energy.

A further point. The concept of a fixed ratio between combustion chambers and turbines seems to be assuming a particular build style for your hydrogen battery. There's nothing wrong with that build style, to be clear, but you should understand the implicit assumptions to make sure you aren't ...

Just to make sure we're on the same page, hydrogen is only an energy storage solution, to complement variable wind or solar energy generation methods that actually create power. Burning it doesn't create more power than it took to electrolyze it. The priority system on electrolyzers and turbines ...

Even with scripts, there are subtle problems with these compound entities and hidden collision masks. These scripted entities usually don't behave exactly perfectly in all respects, especially once you start adding in other mod scripts. So It wouldn't just simplify something you can already do, but ...

Yeah, just because something looks cool doesn't mean it's more fun. There are advantages to 2D for a factory builder. The 3D versions at a glance seem like they might be better, but in practice can be a bit of a chore to play. If Factorio 2 was 3D, it would get lost in the noise of other games ...

What didn't you understand about the bio drones? Did you not know about using artillery remotes on map view? Did you place them all in person with a Mecha?

Until you beacon it of course. Or would it be more efficient to beacon in the perpendicular direction?


It's not more beaconable with 1 tile gaps. If you want room for beacons on both sides, then you can still alternate them with mirror to fit them closer together and use fewer beacons. You can ...

The amount of effort put in to automate the flipping of fluid recipies for both Vanilla and Modded content just feels weird.
I want to preface that I do genuinely appreciate the effort put in to do all of this work for 2.0, flipping included ...

But I do genuinely have to wonder why the idea of ...

to something like faction


This is how Nullius refers to forces in its multiplayer mode with multiple forces. But I think it would be more trouble than it's worth to change it internally, and make modders change their code for something cosmetic like this. Plus as a programmer I appreciate ...

Whoever wrote the FFF missed an important trick with mirroring. In the picture of refineries on the bottom, that's not even close to optimal. To make full use of mirroring, you mirror all the buildings next to one another, then you don't need to leave a 1 tile space between the adjacent buildings ...

I second Factory Planner. It's not instant or effortless to break things down many levels at once, but you can get the information you need. It would be hard for a mod to do exactly what you want fully automatically, because it doesn't really understand why you don't want it to break down belts ...

Look at the tooltip description of the other android when you hover over it with your cursor. Make sure you have descriptions enabled and no mods that delete them. Tooltip descriptions of things are very important in Nullius. You can change the key binds in the settings -> controls menu.

This bug started showing up with the latest update to Angel's Refining. It reproduces with Transport Drones and Angel's Refining and no other mods:

And now the 1.8.0 version is out with major tech rebalancing. The early game research is intended to go faster now, in part to go along with the new multiplayer feature where people will need to get through some early tech on their own before joining up. This change extends approximately to the tech ...

The 1.7.0 major release is out. One noteworthy new feature is an optional new multiplayer game mode. Instead of everyone starting in the same place and working together, each new player starts in their own faction at their own landing site scattered across the planet. A new line of techs deals with ...
