Re: I feel hollow after finishing a game of Factorio.

https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=678 :) Hmm the current roadmap seems to simply wrap up the existing experience without any plan to address the metagame issue I bring up with the topic. Doesn't really help anything. :| Any plans beyond that or is factorio going to be left as is o...

This forum has a toxic behaviour problem.

I've been very dissapointed by the behaviour of some users on this forum. I have noticed users having a tendency to use sarcastic, dismissive replies that imply wrongness in the other person, rather than hearing what they're needing. The maturity of replies border on personal attacks, opting to mali...

Re: Factorio can permanently destroy a graphics card!

Atleast put an option to reliably terminate the startup loading screen. That thing can often take its sweet time booting up all the sprites and data (especially more so with mods), so having an ability to cancel the startup anytime in general would be a welcome addition. Always offer the user to can...

Re: Factorio can permanently destroy a graphics card!

I feel frustrated by the replies, no one seems to actually read or listen. I clearly state things, but people choose to ignore them. The card was in full health before this event. All programs functioned perfectly. This is not some sneaky issue that slowly crept up. There is no overheating issue eit...

Re: Friday Facts #235 - 0.16 stable

The metagame needs improvement. Currently the factories and resources we make in Factorio just get discarded once either a satellite is launched or all the content is exhausted on an existing map. I hope you guys will come up with something that allows any factories and resources gathered matter and...

Factorio can permanently destroy a graphics card!

During loading the game from the .exe, Factorio has the potential to permanently destroy a graphics card. This happens if there are either: a.) A large number of mods that add a lot of graphics or instances of objects/sprites. b.) A single mod that uses code to generate a huge variation of an object...

Re: I feel hollow after finishing a game of Factorio.

Heres my take on the situation. Factorio has a lot of structures and solutions for its metagame that are common in many games that came before it. Things like the research system, achievement unlocks, a scripted story campaign (New Hope), challenge scenarios and the whole start-from-nothing-then-wor...

Re: [MOD 0.13+] Liftoff_0.1.10 (12.02.17) Aircraft extension

Any change of updating this to 0.16? I don't use AAI, so I wouldn't mind an intermediate update that works with plain vanilla in the meantime.

Re: [Request] All Aliens Dead - Victory Condition

No. If no one makes it, I'll just have to suffer without it. :( My life is already full enough as it is, there is no way that I can pick up learning a whole new system all of a sudden just to make a tiny mod. If someone that is already knowledgable with the modding system that can do it as a quick t...

Re: [Request] All Aliens Dead - Victory Condition

My max map size is always 2048x2048 or scaling to a 128x32768 if I want to play a ribbon world. Its a bit careless for Factorio to offer worlds that can exceed the computer's memory limits by default. :| I'd rather prefer a stream of many disposable temporary worlds that stay within a reasonable siz...

[Request] All Aliens Dead - Victory Condition

I play on maps with a limited size, so there are two achievable objectives for all my playthroughs: 1. Launch a satellite to space. 2. Kill all biters/spawners/aliens. I'd like to request a mod that would set the victory condition of the game to trigger only when no more aliens (any) are on the map....

Re: I feel hollow after finishing a game of Factorio.

Now the rocket is just a small focus for your factory, the rest is up to the player to make their own purpose, as with most sandbox games. See, I feel very skeptical about this mindset.
