ok, this might be highly heretical, even for me but hear me out. Factorio is part of the Warhammer 40k universe! you, the engineer, are basically a stranded adeptus mechanicus, your assembly machines are technically STC's. you don't "research" directly, you just unlock the knowledge to build ...

In terms of killing these enemies, was anyone else's first thought sacrificial nuclear reactors?

Build and fuel reactors in enemies path.
Wait.
Enjoy the fireworks.

The resulting nuclear explosions will hit many segments of the demolisher's body and should do enormous damage.

I really ...

I saw foundries on the space platform, seems obvious to do this in retrospect but it has me immensely excited
the expansion cannot come soon enough

Finally some love for alien worldbuilding!

I can already see new tactical applications on the horizon... It would be so nice, if terrain gets even more attention. Like giving (small) range bonuses to buildings (artillery :mrgreen: ) on cliffs over things below (also: grenades hurled over the edge ...

On the subject of map pins and such, I am reminded of a often ignored "feature" in Victoria 2. It would let you draw little arrows and text on the map and they could be visible to players you shared it with. You could even save and load different plans. Now, the arrows themselves did absolutely ...

Here's my unrealistic guess:

Every planet has their limitations, Nauvis is ridden with biters, Vulcanus has lava pits and some hints at similarly unhappy natives. But who or what is on Fulgora to stop you?


The precursor aliens fought a war, and they were losing. The enemy had disabled their ...

I saw processing units being recycled, I hurt

And I wonder what's this new blue wire is

it's pretty is what it is

but I too wonder what it's made of and for?

edit: after some thought, I bet it's a superconductor

not enough HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE!! need more from you forum posters...

I, for one, have been waiting all week for this post

worth

fun fact - the tungsten carbide icon looks like a clenched, three fingered, right fist
YOUR WELCOME!!!!!

seriously tho, this is a welcome addition to factorio, honestly I have yet to see anything I DONT like in these FFFs besides a lack of new planet info (day 1 asking)

While the circuit feature for assemblers is lovely, it is not intended for the scenario you describe. That is largely covered by remote view . You don't need circuits, you can just click on an assembler on a different planet and tell it to build something different, and then you can tell its ...

I don't think people are giving enough love to the assembler circuit control feature, imagine this:
you are on vulcanus (am I spelling that right? I cant remember) you just unlocked the big mining drill there and you want to use it on nauvis (love that name btw, so fitting), with a setup like the ...

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
PURPLE INSERTERS GONE NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
love the change otherwise
