As a longtime Linux user I say: F*ck GNOME!

I welcome Wayland support, maybe a Wayland+Vulkan native version without legacy X11 and GL is possible?

Well, to be honest, I did not like either of the three, to me it just sounds like random noise.

Regarding the "magic build technology" placing the surface structures / buildings on the surface by ghost building; is there already an official dev answer, how the lore is on this? As a way-out and additional logistics exercise I'dlike to add the idea of having another surface building, a...

Great! Thank you

Thanks for sharing this story! Now I ponder letting my 4 yr olds play some Factorio as well maybe... :mrgreen: Here are some other games they enjoy: - Putt-putt series from the 90s in the SCRUM adventure style of Maniac Mansion or Monkey Island, and with lots funny interactive elements and child-fr...

Oh, I missed that, thanks!

As probably already known to many people, Apple decided to kill x86 Intel Apple products, very probably including their Mac Pro line, and switch to homemade ARM64 chips. This will kill *all* of their x86 programs in quite a very short timeframe and they will continue to strongly enforce their Apple ...

Welp. I am sorry but I neither like the Red Invasor nor the Worm Box . I think I am a Classic guy: a chunky powerful builing full of ginormous machinery, heavy duty; and not a fork stuck in an overcrawled hole in the ground. Sorry. Also when zoomed out it seems to me like the color palette is someho...

Thank you Taurondir for your feedback and on insights on your future plans. I am flattered to hear this "PnP" idea could inspire you and still does. As I am also very grid-obsessed more than once I have thought about increasing the row height from 13 to 16 for a grid/2 height but that felt...

Will the mined area be changed to 3x3 or is it still 5x5, which would be outside of the harness? I kind of liked the old graphics; especially because they had the association of slowly grazing the surface... a whole field of grazing cattle... kind of meditative. The new graphics are, well, energetic...

Sorry for the CDN trouble, been rolling over some certs, should be fine now Speaking of certs... At least when 1.0 comes around, will y'all begin signing the executable so Windows won't call it a scary unknown file? (And, more importantly, so we know it hasn't been tampered with when we download it...

...If u want to speedrun an jump'n'run u cannot actually do the jumps before the run starts. But if u preplan a factorio game it is like u could do the jumps before the timer starts... I'm actually pretty sure that's what for example Quake speedrunners do. Meticulous planning and doing math on exac...

That drone looks really cute ^^
And personally I think Biters should be first class citizens, too, especially if the hit is really a mere 5% #equalitymatters

Would checksumming help here? Yes, that's how part of what happens during heavy mode testing (which can be toggled on on server during runtime also) ... https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-63 But even this step is little bit too ... performance heavy ... to do it just preemptively whenever someo...

It seemed obvious to me that if you have sync problems, it's because your gamestate data wasn't shared over the net correctly, not because your custom mod save file failed to generate properly. Maybe you could elaborate on exactly how a corrupted save (which I assume is common for all players) caus...

Oh, yeah, snarky remark - it looks like a fire hydrant from Sauron

Sorry, but I think it looks really really bad. :evil: Reasons: - too busy: the Beacon is a "passive" late-game building. It doesn't produce anything, it does not telegrph any status, it does not have to be popping out to you - too colorful: again, it just pops out too much for a building y...

Kudos for using NixOS, having tested with different versions (game AND OS!), volunteering to git-bisect it (which OS can?), pulling the report back and describing what has ben done

Ah, yet another reminder as to why OS makers should be legally forbidden to control what software is allowed to run on their OS. (Installed on computers that are NOT theirs !) Or to control an "app store" for their OS, because it will eventually end up there due to the conflict of interes...

Now that 0.18 is out (in beta), I wonder what will happen to Industrial Revolution mod? It's no longer compatible with the latest version of Factorio, and the author apparently doesn't want to support it or release it for other potential maintainers. It's really sad, since IR is the highest-quality...
