I feel the same way, if you visually improve the placement of underground belts and pipes then I would have expected something like this, where the maximum range is painted directly on the ground as long as the cursor with the counterpart is on the same line.

I am very happy to see that the devs are putting in long days & nights to think deeply about the gameplay in Factorio. This is very heartwarming to see. I am genuinely excited about the upcoming SA, with all the new features included.

The jury is still out on 'quality' (better names, please :shock ...

It would be more intuitive if the first tier of quality just had no symbol/dot at all, meaning " no particular quality". The dots can be viewed rather as badges this way. Also there is no need to explain/argue why the dots of Q1 items are not visible in the world and why the symbols you're seeing ...

New Feature: Optional Recipe Components

In order to make higher quality versions, each recipe should allow extra "optional" components, such as blue circuits. Then, when selecting the recipe on an assembling machine (or whatever), we should be able to enable or disable the extra components ...

Please, dear developers, we desperately need a 2023 first quarter recap... the silence is deafening!!

Very good choice of modules for the story!
But, of course: must... improve... speed module level... the factory must grow. :D


Cool news. Great for people with the relevant Apple hardware.

But my main reason for commenting to to say that the image on the steam news post is So Cool. I'm ...

Absolutely brilliant, what an entrance as a new dev!!! Thank you @StragePan for the work and welcome to the Wube dev team.

I was already thinking after the .72 update when noticing the mac-arm64 build label that this must have been a major effort for the team with a specialist on their side... and ...

Aside from that (and I'd have to go back through everything to verify, which I'm not going to do, so unless there's someone around that knows differently off the top of their head), I believe the original planned release date was by the end of this year, anyway, so really, we're not that far off ...

I hope Wube is working on something great and wonderful and worth the wait, but I am getting more often into the difficult situation when trying to explain to others how wonderful is Factorio & the dev team and they check out your website that they find your last post about the game from April that ...

I hope in the version that will be considered the basis of the DLC, there will be proper mechanics for the liquids, so we do not need to use the currently applied complicated mess to get equal amounts of liquids out of a tank when more than one of the four connectors are used at the same time as ...

I would love to have a Tesla coil based defense structure, a la Red Alert 2, though. Food for thought?

Thanks, now i cant unsee that thing as tesla coil. :D


I agree on the RA2 tesla coil base defense structure. maybe use the design as an intermediate between gun turret and laser turret ...

Congratulations on the stable release! Let's make sure the same article writers are informed about the 0 bug status now. If the writers are interested, there are quite many of us here on the forum that would be happy to share a few positive thoughts on the game and the readiness of the devs to ...

Any chance we will get a new blog post soon? Curious in which direction the dev team is pushing the boundaries...

The new mining drill design is very nice, indeed a vast improvement vs. the original redesign. :D

So this might sound like nitpicking, or maybe it is only me, but I think there is still something 'wrong' with the distance to the belt depending on the orientation: it looks perfect when the miner is ...

So my two cents, apologies upfront for the strong expressions...

Like:
New design (the base), looks promising.
The front light (yellow per default), especially if it reflect the loaded modules (orange, green or blue).

Dislike:
The red base color is too prominent, this will overrule anything ...

It is absolutely amazing how the Factorio team keeps optimizing the game. Hats off to you!!

Should I try a fresh install?

if that's not too much trouble, can you try the fresh install?


I have removed the program, downloaded the latest experimental, installed it and it seems to resolve the resolution problem. Now the game recognizes the native 4K resolution of the display and also ...

Hi Posila! Can't recall, to be honest, but I suspect I have upgraded, as the machine is from last year October... Should I try a fresh install?

I have made a separate bug report likely similar to this issue with a possible lead to solution related to interface scaling in Mac OS, see [Solved][0.17.64] MacOS display scaling bug . The solution for me was to have a fresh install in 0.17 instead of update from 0.16. This has reset the graphics ...

Additional information that might help with this bug: "Render in native screen resolution" option in Graphics does not change anything in the game, changing it (setting it on or off) does not introduce a game restart...
