"How do we teach a new player the concept of never having enough? "

For me this is part of the experience. All those little "OK I gues I'll need more of that"-moments are a huge part of the game itself.

"The Rocket Silo without the rocket uses sixteen 8192x8192px textures which makes our 1080Ti run out of VRAM to render.."

Just the everyday insanity at its best....

The new chests and silo are awesome, love the logistic chests. Thanks for the great work and the updates every week!

Is it just me or are the HD textures getting more and more clean and the game's general look gets more and more cartoonish and colourful and away from its initial "used look"?

It's copyright infringement because the creator is using the trademark "Factorio" (at least that would apply in my country).

I'm curious. Where is this? What is made there? Is it really yours? If not, what's your job?...

The new belts look awesome! Great work! But as mentioned in the post above, the new round U-belt covers look too soft. I like the style of Factorio because its all rough and with corners and edges.
Fro the holes for Belt splitting maybe the normal texture could have some plate bolted on to cover up ...

I'm glad to see you're still working hard on user-experience related stuff. But...

Please do not streamline Factorio down to one of these simple rush-through games you could aswell play on your smartphone. I think complexity is something that makes this game special. Factorio always had its edges ...

Nice!

Can't wait to send him into space...
