Re: Friday Facts #408 - Statistics improvements, Linux adventures
Just chipping in to say thank you for the consistent and dedicated linux support! :) Started back in 2014 with version 0.9 and first impression was surprise at how well it ran on my early 2000s laptop running Linux Mint! Well, until HD graphics were released. Suddenly want to reload to v0.9 with low...

Re: Friday Facts #360 - 1.0 is here!
I'm really going to miss these FFFs, they've been the one thing that's stayed constant in my life over the last few years. However I can see the reason for stopping it now, and I think it's the right choice. Thank you all for all the work you've put into it over the years, you should be incredibly p...

Re: Friday Facts #356 - Blueprint library for real
I'm glad you've managed to recover from your burnout, many people in similar positions wouldn't have been managed to come through, so well done - we all appreciate everything you've put into this game so it's good to know you're doing well. The story of your child learning to play the game you creat...

Re: Friday Facts #303 - Under 100 bugs (but still not stable)
In response to why I'm interested in a stable release: I am waiting for the NPE to be in a good enough state so I can introduce the game to someone I know without having to force them through the old tutorial. I don't mind about those remaining 55 bugs - I play on experimental, and I've never had an...

Re: Friday Facts #297 - New resource icons
Also question for the Devs: I've got a few people to test the NPE on and I'm waiting until the large rebalances etc. have been done. Is the NPE already mostly finished, or should I hold off for 0.17 stable?

Re: Friday Facts #294 - Blog thoughts & Lua documentation improvements
The FFF is my favourite read of the week, no matter what it's about. Don't worry so much about weeks where you feel like you've haven't got as much to show, we appreciate them all!

Re: Friday Facts #292 - Inching closer to stable
This will probably be a weekly thing for a couple more weeks until we are happy with the stability and performance of multiplayer. The number of Factorio players in the servers is just mind blowing... I remember when multiplayer was introduced, and we could just about hit 30 before it got unplayabl...

Re: [0.17.7] Not-tutorial
Wow thanks very much for reading and replying! Not many games I know where feedback gets this direct! I hadn't considered the 'FOMO' in my pretence of being a new player - thinking about it again, if I was actually playing it for the first time, I probably would research the optional stuff first as ...

Re: Satisfactory alpha
We'll have to see how well satisfactory stands against the 'Factorio rule': would I rather be playing Factorio right now?
It's amazing how few things in life stand up to the Factorio rule

Satisfactory alpha
Just got an email saying I'll be able to play the alpha tomorrow - if I'm honest I'd completely forgotten I'd signed up for it! It'll be interested to see what it's like - my prediction is that although some of the ideas are very similar (some might say suspiciously so...), they'll both be aiming fo...

[0.17.7] Not-tutorial
To begin, the not-tutorial is looking very good - both graphically, storywise and educationally. Clearly there is room for improvement, but as I'm focusing on the problems I've come across, this may come across as less positive as my overall impression is. Massive well done to everyone who worked on...

[0.17.7] Reduce frequency of 'cannot place here' messages
TL;DR Don’t display ‘can’t build’ message (due to other buildings obstructing placement) until it has been attempted twice. What ? When trying to place things, I'll often accidentally click on somewhere where it cannot be built (by accident). Previously the little "beep beep" let me know ...

[0.17.7] Naming inconsistency between toolbar and 'controls' settings
TL;DR In the toolbar, the extended info mode is called “Alt-mode” in the 'controls' settings it is called “Show info” What ? I think neither of these are very good names - especially "Alt-Mode": I don't have it bound to 'Alt', so to begin with I didn't know what it meant. "Show info&...
