As already mentioned, when playing with Space Age, damage per shot depends on quality. (Assuming you haven't disabled it.)



destroying a 3500hp nest with one shot requires approximately level 10 technology ( 2.046m science pack! ). this is obviously unreasonable


Is it obvious? You can just ...

Do current Factorio sliders even accept non-integers ?
(EDIT : in particular those that are not notched (and so are actually « real » sliders ?))

(Not counting % sliders, that are most likely implemented as integers / 100.)

To eliminate Steam as the potential cause,
do you get the same issue when getting the game from the official website ?

Oh yeah, is this still possible in 2.0 ?

Starting in heavy forest is such a different experience than starting in the desert that for the intended experience I suggest doing Escape => Restart until you see that the starting ores are half in ...

How about a separate boiler-like entity that takes item fuel, water, and thruster oxidizer ?


How about using the same boiler entity, but using oxidizer as a fluid input? After all, rocket fuel (H2?) + oxidizer (O2?) = H2O. Boom! Q.E.D.

I don't really care about using steam personally, but I ...

I think your observations are incomplete,as you had some luck for now, but one time your ship will not be moving and you will encounter asteroids from all sides , including the back !

I would totally welcome such a feature, but it would definitely require quite a bit of work for Wube to make it happen. The game as it is has just not been set up for same-screen multiplayer. A lot of new UI would be needed and probably a ton of backend stuff too. And it’s a game where ...

As someone that typically makes a brand new Factorio folder per game, IIRC even before these buttons get unlocked, their functionality is still accessible through keyboard shortcuts ? (Or has this been changed ?)

Looks like keyboard shortcuts work, but...

Yeah, and though while this is better, when this tip first unlocks, the player will not even be able to replicate this factory setup.

So I would suggest that this table should only use :

That's like saying that different game settings are disrespectful to modders.

Ridiculous.

But let me guess as to what was left unsaid in this comment of yours :

Are you really sure it's literally no matter which, even the big dedicated ones ?

Does the ping line says «Cannot reach» ?

It might be because, (from my experience on PC, rather than Switch), since matchmaking through Steam was added as an option, a lot of people do not bother to properly set up ...

Funny how it can be hard to talk about these things due to disagreements about what the words « local multiplayer » mean : LAN and/or same PC ?

Like how there's sometimes confusion between games supporting shared/split screen and «coop». (See also : «hotseat».)

Fixed some OpenGL lighting issues when light occlusion was enabled.

Was it enabled ?

With Wube paying so much attention to optimisation as well as obscure bugs,
and the change you report being quite significant,
and indeed there seemingly being no change listed that should have caused this,
(you aren't on Mac, or using OpenGL, are you ?)

Wube would likely be glad if you made a ...

What seems faster to you ?

Right, Plasma is a fluid, even if cannot be piped normally.
(I guess Wube could still remove temperature from all other fluids, or rework Plasma (Heat Pipes using a different mechanism anyway).)

Going back to centrifuges, I can't believe I forgot to link this very «Factorio scaling» story ...

Ah, my bad.

Well, that's an option, even though it would be a lazy one.

If all of the achievements in your game can be beaten in a single play-through, then your achievements aren't varied enough.
