Does an Water/Land rework imply that we will finally get blueprintable landfill?

Steam version crashes for me, even after I deleted my config folder and reinstalled the game.
The manual download works.

I have been waiting for this. Finally a good way to automatically construct mining or gun stations. But with the power armour filling up with goodies like this it makes the time shortly before you unlock the hight end power armour parts even more annoying... How about a modular tank that can be upgr...

I would say this is mainly a problem with the belt's graphic. The lonely plate in picture B looks as if it is still on the belt. So if there is no grid displayed, it looks as if it was in the square that also contains the belt. Probably the best solution would be to make the belt's graphic confined ...

Now that I think about it, the best way to make this more discoverable would be to make the train really unable to go in reverse even in manual operation.
This way you can just make a double headed train there and try things out this way.

So, I hadn't touched this game for several months, and started playing again last weekend. I am seriously addicted again. A few comments: I played through the new campaign, and I thought the last two levels were pretty bad. In level 3 ( the railway level) you have to build up a railway network, but ...

You guys should note that Factorio is effectively immune to piracy. Because it is literally impossible to pirate the full version of Factorio at the current time. It doesn't exist. And once it is done, it will already have been paid for by the preorders. Also note that historically, before the intro...

Convection and Cooling towers are only an enviromental protection measure.
You can just dump the old hot water in the river and withdraw new cool water form there. That kills all the fishes, but factorio guy doesn`t eat anyways.

I also like the idea of supplying something. In another thread I speculated about something like the supply challenge, but without the time limits. My initial idea of it was something like civ2's palace, but supplying other colonists also makes sense. How about this for flavor: We are actually a min...

Does the lab naming really use the full nameset?
I have 10 labs and 2 are named after me. This looks unlikely.

Annoyingly this is still the only way to produce rocket defenses in an Assembler. If you try to do this normally the inserters stop working when there is a full stack in the assembler`s input slot.

Great. A few random thoughts: The colors on the map are not ideal. Terrain color is much more intense compared to resources. It should be the other way around. You can't see how full a boiler is from mousing over. I think that is an old problem. Cool I got the lab with my name almost immediately. Ho...

It would be much easier to accomplish the same thing by making it easier to walk in a straight line. Just make it a toggle button, where the character automatically compensates for any belts he might be standing on, and where he stops moving ( or starts running in place if he is on a belt) if he hit...

Ah, OK. I didn't read that stuff carefully enough. That idea is even more useless. If the filling station is very small, it will be pretty much overpowered. And it won't fit into the game, because it will be the only building that doesn't need inserters. If the filling station is large, it will only...

I know what containers are.
And you could do the same things with wagons if there was a way to efficiently switch wagons from and to trains.

You are basically describing the current railway system if we scaled down the tracks to the size of belts, and the wagons to the size of chests.

A pair of basic inserters can easily separate a belt's sides at the end of a belt. For faster throughput simply use fast inserters and increase the number on the side needing faster output. Top side ends up on bottom belt's bottom side, bottom side on top's top. ===> || >== || ===> Condensing this ...

Ok I finished this on my own: This is my recycling mod. You can dump almost any item in a furnace and you will receive the most common basic item back. Some problems: Items that use over the stacksize only give the stacksize, for example underground express belts. Also things that use less then a fu...

Hi, I have decided to write a Recycling mod. I wrote a proof of concept, but now I am too lazy to add all those recipes. https://www.dropbox.com/s/r290m83zqy8eguv/smeltdown.zip I have decided to write a script to write the recipe file for me, but I don't really know lua. Can someone tell me how I ca...
