.... I absolutely despise the time wasted on that hellhole and I'm scratching my head wondering how it was possible for the devs to not notice how bad this was and to pull the plug and start over.
Looking at the responses and how debated Gleba is, it seems to be enough people for a developer ...

Here's perhaps the big rub of Gleba where objections flow from. What essential foundations do you feel Gleba lacks?


Factorio has had a few basic rules that I like very much. One of those rules is that you can pause at any time, nothing ever goes away by itself. Need to fix something in your ...

.... I absolutely despise the time wasted on that hellhole and I'm scratching my head wondering how it was possible for the devs to not notice how bad this was and to pull the plug and start over.

Have you considered the most obvious answer: most people like Gleba, and you're in a minority who ...

tl;dr Gleba is not the problem, the lack of proper tutorials and documentation is; one FFF walking through the first hours on a planet would've sufficed.


That may work for some people, for me the whole design of Gleba breaks a few of the fundamental rules and design paradigm of the game. It's ...

Gleba completely turns the game on it's head, requiring a completely different approach to factory design


Yeah, to me it feels like one of those instant death stealth levels in otherwise fast paced action games, completely negating most of what I love about this game. Thankfully there are mods ...

It unlocks after bioflux. It requires bioflux to work and push player in right direction. Exactly the same for nutrients receipts. And close to oil and uranium processing in base game. Your suggestion just break pattern and leave player with recipe he can't use. Bad idea.


I agree it isn't ideal ...

Putting bacteria cultivation into a separate technology that unlocks later is counterproductive. It suggests to new players to build up a set up with spoilage to bacteria as a first step for production, just like basic oil does on Nauvis. However due to how terribly slow and inefficient those ...

Not sure if this is a (minor) bug or low enough priority to be considered a suggestion:

In the L dialog, you can ctrl+f to open/focus the search textbox, however pressing enter/return in that textbox doesn't defocus the textbox, so you can't E out of this dialog nor can you just hit Q to select ...

On a space platform, if you set the maximum request amount to zero (by dragging the slider) and have a manually changed minimum amount, you get an error message that the minimum amount can't be lower than the maximum amount.

1. Go to a space platform. Set a new logistic request (for example ...

The feature, where you could hold shift while zooming out and it stopping before going to the map view (and the reverse when zooming in in the map view) was recently removed, apparently intentional. It did interfere with scrolling through blueprints in a book, so it wasn't perfect and I can see why ...

Resource drain isn't shown in tooltips of normal mining drills or oil jacks which is confusing. Only seeing a drain on the big mining drill can lead people to assume it is some additional wastage that isn't present in your normal drill instead of the productivity increase it actually is.

Sad to see this go as well, I used this constantly and with the increased focus on doing things remotely I would love if this feature would get readded in some way.

There are shortcuts for reset zoom and 2x zoom (F9 and CTRL+F9), maybe we could get another one for a zoomed out as much as possible ...

I play modded and vanilla games at the same time. In Krastorio 2, the large power poles connect over larger distances than in vanilla. I have blueprints with those power poles at max distance in Krastorio 2.

If I load into a normal game and place those blueprints, the poles won't connect, which is ...

I still can't open that save file. It was the only time when a save was corrupted though, so no idea if the bug that caused the file to be broken was fixed.

Apparently the attachment didn't work, so here is a link to the file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/z7ncjxm26oc5v ... e.zip?dl=0

Btw. it would be great if the forum would show a bigger warning when the attachment fails, and not just the tiny exclamation sign.

No mods, vanilla game. Everything seemed fine, saved the game, no issues. Then went on to do something in my test map (overwriting all my autosaves in the process) and when I tried to reload my main map, I get "Corrupt map: unknown tile 0"
