Re: Version 1.1.25

I believe stable usually means that there is neglectible amount of consistent product-driven crashes (crash-inducing bugs, missing/broken assets etc), all the new functionality from current development cycle works as expected, and new bug report inflow is low enough for the dev team to be able to fo...

Re: Version 0.18.3

Why should it not be popular? From my POV I could expect a lot of things that could factor in for every individual player: - general interaction cost problem, as I've mentioned a lot already - accessibility of physical volume controls. Most laptops and home sound systems usually have them and so th...

Re: Version 0.18.3 (concerning sound)

I don't see how the need of typing and pasteing console commands would make a lazy player happier, if one wants to change the volume on certain entity sounds. A lazy player in the wild surely doesn't have a longplay set of those, because if he does he should use the master volume knob. Otherwise ev...

Re: Version 0.18.3 (concerning sound)

... I do realize that most of the game you don't want to change the sounds. So maybe this would have to be activated by going to the sound settings and clicking an "Edit entities" button. This would then minimize the sound settings and allow clicking at entities to change their individual...

Re: Friday Facts #327 - 2020 Vision

Despite I didn't really like the overall intent to make game simpler for bigger audience β€” ahh, I still miss the old Basic oil processing so much, β€” I was rather cool with the NPE tutorial and so I'd really want to say that completely scrapping what has taken a year of development is kinda harsh.

Re: Belt placement as a sizeable brush

When you are about to lay more than 3000 items with your personal robots, you are doing something wrong - in my eyes. This takes forever. This is not advanced, nor lategame, it’s just slow. Actually this is quite feasible in late game. I usually enjoy packing 2 fusion reactors, at most 1-2 exoskele...

Re: Friday Facts #325 - New Explosions and Particles

I'd like to say a word regarding randomized 'hit' particle on entity damage. Particles should really have a tendency to show up closer to entity sides that are closest to the source of incoming damage. I hope this won't be that much of an overcomplication in big O terms in exchange for tidier, more ...

Re: Friday Facts #318 - New Tooltips

Last another inconsistency: Consumption is "41.2/s of 60/s". But Health is "200/200". Steam output is "41.2/s of 60/s". But Power output is "618 kW / 900 kW". Shouldn't they all use "of" to be consistent across the board? Health should also get a ba...

Factorio has dropped support for 32-bit systems with 0.14/0.15 : https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-158 OP is clearly talking about switching from uint32 to uint64 integer variables in terms of signal value storage, not about memory adressing and hardware architecture issues.

Re: Make visible mark on boxes if the volume limit is set

Reddish dot in Alt-mode will be quite enough. A similar marking for filtered storage entities (like cargo railcars) would also come in handy so that less 'I accidentally my special storage' moments could happen.

Re: Logistics robots should not remove repair packs from roboports

You're not supposed to put repair packs in roboports, those slots exists so construction robots can land without having to put the repair pack back in a chest. As for me, I don't mind putting repair packs manually once in a while, but this also fits the notion that putting into these slots should b...

Re: Game is unplayable on PC's

4 GB RAM was a theoretical boundary for memory addressing in 32 applications, and this much is already not quite enough for smooth performance in daily tasks like browsing the internet. AFAIK there is no difference in licensing between, say, Windows 7 x32 and x64, so I guess one could relatively saf...
