I really do like the diagonal landfill. Prevents some potentially bad visuals that could otherwise result from slightly misaligning grids.

Congrats on all the progress!

I swear this has happened to me as well a few times, but I couldn't entirely outrule the possibility of having hit R at a very unfortunate timing, which seemed by far like the most simple explanation, so I fixed it and moved on.

As of v. 0.17.66, blueprint books do not have good covers. Take a look at the screenshot attached. I have 7 blueprint books, and I am never able to tell which book is which by just looking at their icon. I have to resort to reading their name every time, otherwise I am completely unable to recognize...

I recently did a pacifist playthrough where I purposefully kept pollution low and built my base to minimize its harm (actually by maximizing area, so that there is more nature to absorb the pollution). I thought it was a really interesting idea and actually got quite far, enjoying the various new ch...

I absolutely agree with many of the previous posters here, that the loss of the entire old campaign is quite sad. It indeed teached you a lot of the mechanics that you might not think of, and really helps shape the atmosphere of the game. I would most certainly not have had as good of an experience ...

I was suggested to post this here. Playing on the Gridlock Cluster custom servers during their current event. This was on the Lockwood server. I had two desyncs along with perhaps a dozen other players (but only one archive somehow). From what I caught of the moments, the first desync was caused by ...

Regarding the new campaign, I want to say it's really easy for someone to accidentally miss the electric miner unlock upgrade. Even as an experienced player, I did not see it until 15-20m after it became available, and I was actively looking for when it would become available. The upgrade tree is ju...

My first thoughts were that the game flows very well, is very fun to play with its plethora of mechanics, feels very well optimized, and has a compelling atmosphere. The campaign was a great start to it before jumping into free play and trying out the alternative modes. It started out as an amazing ...

Having played 1.7, I have to say I agree with OP about the new enemy graphics, almost down to the word. They do not look good. Factorio has great graphics, but these are definitely a step backwards. This applies to all enemy units and buildings. I believe the main issue is that they don't feel organ...

How do I replace an item on the item bar in 1.7? I spent 10 minutes trying to figure it out and didn't manage to. I can't believe it's a bug.
