Thanks @J-H -- but, no, it wasn't bots getting hit by lightning or anything like that. The bots were inserting into red passive chests.

Well, the modules eventually got filled. I am still not sure what happened. The game acted like I had dozens and dozens of Speed1 requests. But I was delivering ...

I'm having a weird experience on Fulgora that feels like a bug:

1. Have a few beacons with speed module 1s, where the modules haven't been placed yet
2. I am requesting them in my cargo landing pad on Fulg
3. I have Unload checked on my Fulgora ship, and requesting 50 speed 1 modules
4. I have ...

Edit: it works if I delete everything and start over and have Nauvis as the first stop. That's annoying. It should be able to do it when I add it too. Like, I am stopped at Nauvis. I add the Passenger Present to Nauvis. Yet it seems to have a "memory" of Fulgora being the first stop in the loop, so ...

The Conditions control when the Space Platform will DEPART FROM the specified Destination.

If you want it to wait at the current Planet then you must add that as the first Destination ("Nauvis").


See attached image. I added Nauvis before and after Fulgora with "Passenger present" and it's ...

Steps to reproduce:
1. Have a platform in Paused thrust mode, with a station stop set for another planet that it's not at
2. Add "Passenger present" wait condition
3. Make sure passenger is not present
4. Flip the selector to Automatic

Expected Result:
Ship does not leave

Actual result:
Ship ...

EDIT: it's not buggy, I think I just got _extremely_ unlucky. I started a fresh save, imported the map string, then did the console commands to reveal more map. I did finally find more iron and found some uranium, they are just bizarrely far away. I have never seen a map with the resources that far ...

This still isn't possible!? It's so annoying.

Very cool. Congrats on this big accomplishment. It's been a long wait.

One thing: PLEASE fix the motion blur when the camera is panning in the trailer. It's so muddy you can't see the details and it's a bit nauseating.

Interesting choice to be making such big changes so late in the process. Doesn't the expansion release in a little over two weeks?

Is this the trade-off you get from having a couple years of secretive development and no player input during that time?

But obviously it was a needed change -- people ...

This was a boring update. There's only 7 blogs left until release and still no reveal of final planet nor the rest of the enemies.

I'm concerned about the drip drip of tiny FFFs. There's only 10 blog posts remaining until SA release and there's loads of enemies/final planet/etc. left to reveal. I'm getting a bad feeling they are holding back "secret" changes for hype purposes, which might help their bottom line but doesn't help ...

That first (and third) WIP track sounded... really bad. Distractingly bad. I hope that's "just started" WIP not "final touches" WIP.


Agreed. I hope that they either massively improve this or give us a way to turn the procedural bit off. (I still love the human music from the previous FFF!)

I hope everyone at Wube knows that they're not just making a video game, they're bringing joy to people, and offering a wonderful escape in this troubled world.

The planet looks neat, and I'm excited that there are new resources.

but they are difficult to build on until you get cliff explosives

Ugh. Cliffs have got to be one of the most complained about features in the base game, to the point where many people simply turn them off.

I hope the devs ...

This all looks good EXCEPT the faster belt tier looks yellow. Factorio color palette has always been strange and an acquired taste, fine. But please don't make us try to distinguish between yellow belts and "sickly greenish yellow" belts.

This all looks like good stuff. I barely used circuit networks in past play-throughs; these QoL and UX changes might get me to use them more often.

This looks amazing. I actually have no complaints, which is rare for me, and high praise.

The limitation of only one per planet might sound weird, but we just find it fitting, because otherwise (we tried that) it is too convenient to put them all over the place

This feels really off. So we can build gigantic bases, spanning a solar system of planets ...but only one landing pad?

I don ...

Anybody else getting Cosmoteer* vibes from this post? (in a good way)

Space platforms can specialize in different tasks, so it can be motivating to optimize them for different design goals. You can aim to make a huge platform that can load thousands of items, or a small platform with capacity ...
