I disagree with you on essentially everything. For high quantity items it's a matter of perfectionism to aim for "all perfect" items, but there are items in the game where solving with mass might not be an option. Like armor, you can only wear one, so you'd want a higher quality there. Ma...

So, what? I get a machine that can do the job of 2-and-a-half machines, for the low low price of 50 normal machines? And all I gotta do is build literally every single one of my factory lines into a loop, recycling and remaking every item, until I get what I want? I kinda see the appeal for any mach...

For some reason, this update trips my antivirus.
It identifies it as "HEUR/AGEN.1038008", and honestly, you know it's a false alarm if it begins with HEUR.

If you're giving a tutorial mode to Freeplay, I propose a minimalist approach. First, a little arrow pointing at stone, saying "Hold [LMB]: Mine", then "Press [E]" to then point at the furnace and say "[LMB] Make" Or when introducing how to place power poles, you just s...

It's the only thing in the entire game that's random. Though, random doesn't really square with deterministic gameplay such as this game requires. So, how does it work? Does the game not only save the random seed, but also how many times it's been used to maintain the offset? And how about multiplay...

Here's an idea: If the condition is set to Item Count = X, and current count is greater than X, have the entire bar be green, but overlayed on top of that is a yellow bar that fills in from the side. The width thereof could be (currentCount - X / X) or something like that. If currentCount is more th...

I just had a thought: Should that belt end piece have a barrier on it, to have a visual explanation as to why the items don't fall off the end?

Could this be remedied? For instance by switching to the low-res mips when there are too many entities on screen?

While reducing texture quality to normal completely fixed the issue, I'm still curious about the zooming thing. It makes no sense that the game should be able to display the thickest forest at the farthest and closest zoom factor, but in between those it just quits. Is there a particular reason for ...

My game runs smoothely at 60FPS most of the time, unless I'm on the middle zoom factor, especially when looking at trees, but my uranium ore patch did it too. 20180610221058_1.jpg What's interesting about this image is that at the time of me taking it, zooming out just one click of the mousewheel ma...

I didn't know air resistance was part of the speed calculation. Exactly how does it factor in?
Or is it going to play a role with wind, should you ever implement that?

Why?

I use Win10 with 1440p.

Had that same problem. Maximizing the window fixed it.

I'm having serious graphical issues with alpha-0.1. Most icons are missing, a lot of entities have a strange red line, coal and some fish are just a blur for some reason... Here, let me show you what I mean.
EDIT: Never mind. Compatibility mode fixed it.

Alternative suggestion: Offer HSV alongside, not instead of, RGB.

We have a warning for a device not connected to anything that produces power, and another one for a device receiving no power at all. Why not one for insufficient power? I didn't quite get the color right, but you get the idea.

To find log: Press Windows key + R. Type in: %appdata%/Factorio There, you will find both factorio-current.log and factorio-previous.log. You can either read them yourself via the editor, or upload them as an attachment. While you're at it: Press Windows Key + R. Type in: dxdiag Once the program tha...

What else will be added to the circuit network?
Enabling/disabling assemblers directly would be a big addition, but could they be set to send their output- or input slots?
And while we're at it, why not let boilers output the temperature?

But how does Steam know which files need to be synced? Clearly either the game submits a list, or the save folder is synced directly. In either case, there are ways to subvert that.
