In light of the devs adding more visible consequences of pollution, I would like to suggest weather.
Weather will affect the player and the player's environment/factories.

Regular Weather:
Sunny: Solar panels will work at their maximum in this type of weather.
Cloudy Solar panels will be ...

I can keep waiting for 11.22

I have a T-Shirt idea

>T-Shirt with a module on the front of it. The text below it would be "Working at maximum (Whatever the module on the T-Shirt is, like efficiency)"
>T-Shirt with a lab on the front of it, with text like "this isn't rocket science" or something of ...

RTS mode could be a possible function for the space stage of factorio.

Imagine this, you left that planet with enraged biters and spitters hammering at your factory. You will STILL need a viable amount of land to get the colonists on the planet. Since you(the player) are no longer on the planet ...

I have an idea for the behemoth!
Considering they are to replace hordes of big biters ( which is a very good bit into the game) why not put out a small chance of a behemoth attempting to "colonize" near the player's base. They will be aggressively try to get closer and closer to the player base ...

- what about the worms?
It's also kind of interesting, how good the other suggestion matches with this one https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=9418

I did read that suggestion before creating my suggestion. It may have influenced some parts of it to be honest :)

Question: where do the stingers came from? I mean: in the beginning there are no players buildings, where they are then?


If I were to put an origin of the stinger, I'd say it is a migratory predator, nesting were ever food is plenty and housing is available.
In the beginning, there were biter ...

After playing the game for a long time I feel like I have an idea for changing up enemies and defense.

It would be interesting to see a wasp-like enemy, they make a small nestand then expanding as it grows.

The base of the idea goes on this. Some parts of a players base are left undefended (mostly ...
