Re: Friday Facts #312 - Fluid mixing saga & Landfill terrain
Am I the only one that enjoys mixing fluids? When you fuck something up, you have to purge the pipes (I usually pump it out). Its a very simple and straight-forward mechanic, with parallels to conveyor belts with bad items on them. Being able to manually purge pipes is the only break in this parall...

Re: Friday Facts #266 - Cleanup of mechanics
This is the first FFF I've thoroughly disagreed with. Please don't simplify. Complexity is what makes factorio what it is: a constant balance between build time, optimality/efficiency, and scalability. New players shouldn't be able to think for 2 minutes and work out the perfect factory design. I am...

Physically colliding robots
I understand it could be a serious computational issue, but why not have robots physically collide with each other? Overuse of robots becomes difficult, but could be managed with good design of flight paths (up to a point, easily controlled with payload capacity). I find the current overlaying of ro...
