I also like to keep my trees. My workaround is to just not destroy individual trees when I am placing a blueprint and building by hand. I'll clear the demolish request and reposition the few items that need to move.

But I find that keeping trees becomes irrelevant/impossible pretty quickly when a ...

I like the planets in the background. I saw on reddit someone made the planets much bigger I think think it looks better. I can't find it to show, but the planets took up most of the screen and it looked like the platform was hovering over it, whereas at the moment it looks like the platforms are ...

You might want to try making a slightly bigger starter island. My most recent play had 3 iron, 2 copper, 2 oil, way too much stone, and 1 uranium. Oil was the first I ran low on. I had a small number of biter bases, but they were easily managed. I left the planet without much difficulty and long ...

I like this idea. That makes more thematic sense.

Do you see a similar problem with Gleba?

I like island maps, but I find that it makes later expansion very difficult. Many resource patches end up covered by water so you have to venture deep into biter territory to get more resources later in the game.

Not in the game right now to check, but aren't science packs already included under the Intermediate Products tab? (The one with steel, gear, and circuit)

Too short, didn't read. Please give me more Friday Facts

Love all the updates and that the FFF is back! (for now :cry: )

Couldn't help but notice that some of the ship designs look an awful lot like FTL ships... For sure noticed the Bulwark and probably the Kestrel too!


Very observant!

I'm just going to keep playing 2.0 until a quality asteroid chunk mod comes out, then.

The devs should be under no illusion here, the space ships making quality materials is more interesting than everything they're putting into version 2.1, and it isn't even close.

It is already out. https ...

The mod to return casinos is already there =)
And the mod to remove space casinos was downloaded only 409 times in over a year since it's release.

Ahh, yes, I see it now! https://mods.factorio.com/mod/bring-back-space-casino

And yeah, this other mod is not very popular, but I don't see the ...

I'm sure the mod to bring back Space Casino will be posted within 24 hours of 2.1 experimental going live.

Since you're changing the arrows, why do the inserters dropping on perpendicular belts not show the arrow on the far lane? You left the arrow adjacent to the close lane when the inserters always drop to the far lane.

Nice! Now if only you could replace the conveyor belts and inserters with sprites of humans, engi, mantis, rockmen, zoltans, slugs, crystal, and lanius, then you'll be ready for launch!

Sounds like some great changes coming for 2.1!

One point of feedback: it would be more clear on item import to show an image of all planets rather than an empty selection.


I need to figure out how to use Custom Minimum Payload. That would fix the issue of "not enough items to fill one rocket ...

Does the satellite even have quality tiers? None are listed on the Satellite or Quality pages of the wiki.


I just confirmed using a quick /editor setup. You can make a quality satellite with quality modules (or quality ingredients, of course) and when you launch a quality satellite, you get ...

What can help you is to try a mainbus concept: https://wiki.factorio.com/tutorial:main_bus
A big space of belts and pipes straight through your base that carrys most of your materials.

I think main bus is interesting only from historical point of view. It is not good idea to suggest outdated ...
