Re: Friday Facts #360 - 1.0 is here!
Long road. Great job. I'm still over here waiting for Steam to get its act together and let me download the update, but I get it, you put that third party in the middle and things take extra time for no good reason. (EDIT: Just came through.) Small price to pay so I can play with my Steam controller...

Re: [0.17.9] Sciences (queueble) unlocked out of order
Occasionally, at Science pack thresholds, if all tech tree requirements are met, with at least one queued, a science will be marked as queueble despite the science pack requirements not being met. Factorio doesn't stop you from doing stupid things because that would stop you from doing clever things.

Re: I always see faces!
When I look onto the map I see faces. It's called "pareidolia." Basically the human brain is just a huge pattern-matching engine, so whenever it sees something it can't classify - like, say, a cloud - it will still try to classify it as the closest pattern it can match. And the most impor...

Re: [0.17.3] Campaign Experience and Suggestions
What about this: A difficulty slider You kind of gave me that idea. Thank you. Difficulty sliders, unfortunately, come with a serious stigma that if you turn them down you're a loser. Also, real gamers turn them all the way up. There's this whole elitism thing, where letting people make the game ea...

Re: All military research depends on oil processing -> Make military science pack depend on oil
I'm saying that in the research tech tree land mines are locked behind military science pack while shooting speed 3 is not. It just uses military pack for the research to progress. This is an unclear statement, but what he's saying is this: You can't actually make land mines without oil processing,...

Re: Was 0.17.7 biters nerfed already?
I honestly think the problem isn't that the biters were ever hard , they were just harder than people expected . Basically I feel like people went "this is the tutorial/demo for new players who don't know anything, it will all be really easy ." And then it wasn't. I felt like they were har...

Re: Some thoughts on 0.16 -> 0.17
The first map I generated, there was a biter base in the middle of the starting iron patch. That game was abandoned about 30s after it started. The second map I generated (and the one I am playing) had what basically amounted to a puddle for water. A little farther south, there is a real body of wa...

Re: Some thoughts on 0.16 -> 0.17
Starting a new game is not that big of an issue. Likewise converting a pre-rocket launch is quite a bit harder, especially if it was developed with using a .16 science packs. The detraction of "converting an old base is hard" necessarily decreases with time, of course - not only do fewer ...

Re: Some 0.17.6 changes in the campaign
About 1 hour for a speedrunner, towards 5 hours for a new player. That seems about right. Most experienced players seem to be taking 2 - 3 hours. A significant amount of the time is waiting for the arbitrary objectives to complete, namely "send these resources into the loader" and "p...

Re: Some 0.17.6 changes in the campaign
With 0.17.6 I made a quick fix, that would just enable all NPE techs, regardless of where you were in the save, and with 0.17.7 (which is incoming in about an hour, just started the release script :v), there is a proper migration which will always give you the correct tech for the stage of the scen...

Re: [0.17.0] Unwinnable situation in tutorial
Wait, don't trees give either 2 or 4 wood ? The initial plan was for the first tree you harvested to only give you 1 wood. There are other ways... like give you 3, or make a special kind of tree that gives 3 (or 1) and make sure there are an odd number of them placed on the level. Or just regrow tr...

Re: [0.17.0] Unwinnable situation in tutorial
That is an obvious "don't do that" situation. There was also a tentative plan around 0.17.3 or so to guarantee in the level design that harvesting all wood gave the player an odd number of wood bits, so it's not possible to use all your wood on chests that cost two wood without leaving on...
