Exponentially increasing difficulty? Wow, that's the first time I've ever heard that about vanilla factorio, but I guess it depends how you measure difficulty?

The better one I think, is science costs. Purple science is something else when you realize it's asking you for 10 rails a second ...

Yeah, this is my stance. 300% productivity (on anything) is broken. That said, it's not broken enough for me to complain about - it takes so much research to get there, that it's basically irrelevant.



I respectfully disagree. You have two 300% researches attached to two equally difficult ...

That make sense to me as a stance about "the other 300% productivity research that are not ...

You agree with me on LDS shuffle, but you seem to compare it to blue circuit upcycling

With 300% productivity, the bonus items you get out of the craft exactly (on average) balance the loss you get from the recycler, so you get a 1:1 ratio between normal blue circuit inputs and legendary blue ...

Do you even know what an upcycler is? Have you ever built one? All of these things are exactly what upcyclers deal with


Yes, yes, and you are 100% correct. Upcyclers do all of this - and there are plenty of places they are required. i.e. basically every single one of the planetary unique ...

If you don't like quality asteroid recycling, then I have a different challenge for you...

What is another way to get Legendary resources with fewer buildings? The entire design thrust of the quality system is to be able to do more with fewer buildings. So if you want to talk removing quality ...

Honestly, i would rather the ability to type in a logic statement by hand. But something to make strong up conditions is definitely needed.

I will +1 this one. Especially fish in space- a space based aqua culture is even real would plausible, and the idea of having a fish farm in space is attractive. We can do other things with fluids in space, why not farming?

I'm a SW developer and don't mind tweaking stuff like this, but it would sure be nice if there were an official ZIP version of factorio for mac and linux. Maybe someday.

Necroposting possibly, but I have some thoughts on this topic...

It seems disingenuous to simultaneously state that achievements mean something due to non-modded play, but allow people to do weird map things that often affect gameplay FAR more than most mods... or simply import a blueprint book ...

+1 for me - blueprints/deconstruction planners / upgrade planners / other items should be allowed in inventory when boarding a rocket...

I feel like i answered some of the why above, but…

Why no external blueprints? Because earning achievements with external blueprints doesn’t reflect your work and understanding.

Why single save? Because the existing time based achievements actually matter when you can’t save scum.

Why no map ...

How would this distinguish from an underground that was placed too wide, or just a solo underground without a partner? Is this specifically only if they are blocked by lava? I feel like the display tips, and inability to create an underground by dragging already do a pretty good job of guarding ...

Concur on this suggestion... obvious improvement & streamlining.

TL;DR

Add an "Achievement mode" which restricts certain gameplay aspects in order to make sure achievements reflect the current player's actions.

What?
Add a selection during map gen to "Enable Achievements" which would do something like the following:
* no external blueprints - start without ...

It is a valid and time tested method to learn, so i am really glad the functionality is in the game. But i dont think external blueprints should be compatible with achievements. You should need to earn achievements on your own.

What do you suggest for those who find it too easy and would like more difficulty.?


Sa reminds me a lot of pure bob’s, pure angel’s and just a touch of seablock. I like new challenges and am loving it.

What would i recommend for people who find it too easy? I would add restrictions to earning ...

. to the point were I was storing land fill chests in vulcanus ... just .. in .. case ...


The game does not make obvious that you can dump something into the lava. I wish it had a better way to make this obvious. The same way i wish there were ratio calculators or something like helmod in the ...

Is adding Angels' industries (WITHOUT component mode) still on the radar map for the complex nuclear fuel recipes? It works well (I run that way myself), so it sholud be just a change in the modlist.


I've had a few requests so I will be investigating. The bots would be a big change to the ...
