Re: [1.1.59] map generation slower than usually

I noticed the same issue with slow map preview generation twice yesterday. Both times it happened after playing the game for a while and then going back to generating maps. Once it happens it is consistent, each map preview generation is affected, including the first. The only way to sole it appears...

If you don't want to fix it i understand, it is not a important bug.

[1.1.25] canceling upgrades with upgrade planer can brake underground belts

When using the shift - upgrade planer to cancel upgrade orders, underground belts can become disconnected. Upgrading one side of a underground belt places upgrade orders on both sides of the underground belt. Canceling the upgrade on one side of the underground belt does not cancel the upgrade of th...

This is not fixed in 1.1.11
At least not if you start dragging from a belt just outside of reach.

Re: Factorio is two games: pre and post robots.

I agree that the game before and after bots are very different, but the exponential curve is mush slower than what you expect. There are also several game engine limitations that are important. You cant have more than like 2-3k entities blueprinted before the bot construction queues start to slow do...

Add modules from map mode

TL;DR
Add module place orders from map mode
What ?
I want to be able to insert modules into assemblers etc. from map mode. So bots can bring them.
Why ?
You can already replace modules with other modules, but not insert new/more modules.

Re: Defence economy balance

Here is an example on what infrastructure you need to have to keep three turrets firing constantly. To me it feels wrong that gun turrets require 8x the power as laser turrets do. All research up to pre utility and production: DPS for gun turrets with red ammo: (10 + 11) * (8 + 17.92) = 544.32 DPS ...

My gut feeling agrees, that flamers are a bit too resource efficient.

I also would like, if you could reliable insert/fill up to 10 - 20 ammo in turrets without too much clicking and checking, but that's another topic
Cntr-right click, 3 times. First with ammo in hand then 2 times without.

Re: Defence economy balance

Having in average three turrets shooting at any given time was of course just an arbitrary reference point. If it is realistic or not depends on base size/map etc etc.

Red ammo is acctualy not more expensive per damage dealt to most types of biters before you gain very high levels of damage tech.

Defence economy balance

TL;DR Defense economy of Factorio needs better balance. It is a flaw in the otherwise very well balanced game. What ? I suggest that the amount of bullets in a magazine is increased to 32 and that the flamethrower turret consumption is increased to 50/s Why ? Building a efficient defense in Factori...

Re: Version 0.18.7

The sound of gunfire or simple feedback sounds like entity placed sounds needs to have significantly higher volume...

I also line the new sounds, except the biter attack alert sound, that will take some time to get used to.

Re: Early game large bitter bases clearing

The easiest way to do this with low tech stuff is grenades. Put up a defensive line of turrets and walls outside of worm range, go in and spam grenades retreat back if biters start to surround you. Trick is to not get hit by the worms. Fairly easy once you get the hang of how worm targeting works. J...

you'd need lots of sulfur, you'd end up with excess petroleum if you use AOP or BOP or even Coal Liquefaction.

Re: Friday Facts #304 - Small bugs; Big changes

I think the changes are good!
It'll make the game slightly slower for us speedrunners, sub 1h bots will be a real challenge now.

I think it would make more sense to move sulfur and batteries to after chemical sci too. Only affects accumulatiors.

Re: [0.17.54-2] Update planner actions continue after deconstruction planner

I agree that deconstruction should apply to the upgraded entities, making the upgrade unesesary.

While fixing this could you also fix that bluepriting copies the upgraded entities? Really annoing when you copy a build without noticeing that one random item has not been upgraded yet.
