Please nuke those gradients, especially the inner shadow gradients on the item grid, or at least ease their falloff curves into something that doesn't strain the eyes so much. I actually preferred the old flat UI look, it was sharp and had high usability value.

Try to minimize the discarding by applying a simplified mesh around the sprites so that most of the empty areas don't get rasterized at all. After all, the discarded pixels still get shaded...

edit gui.png

I'll definitely do that if the damn thing is still there in 1.0, I don't really want to tinker with the base files unless absolutely necessary. I just totally foresee murphy's law in action, and I bet right after I finished modding the graphics the game would start checksumming them ...

THANKS FOR YOUR OPINION!!!!!

Sorry for yelling. It's been forever since I was last able to play this game. It seems nobody else is affected by the issue, but certain kind of gradients (linear shadow gradients and certain kind of radial ones) wreck with my head and cause slight dizziness, headache ...

JESUS CHRIST CANT YOU FIX THOSE BEVEL/SHADOW/GLOW/ETC GRADIENT RAMPS INTO SOMETHING MORE REASONABLE FFS?!

YOU'RE MAKING THE UI EVEN WORSE THAN IT WAS!!!

Seriously. Like super seriously. SUPER SUPER SERIOUSLY. You're making everything look blurred and out of focus. The panel borders are a DISGRACE ...

Mr. and Mrs. Frisbee must've really hated their child.

Ahh... the name in the game. Plenty of fun stuff in data/core/backers.json

"Butters Furry Party"
"GAY FACTORIO NERDS"
"Gjertsens kebab, taksidermi og landhandel"
"Go Play Ultimate Frisbee"
"i like trains"

Just one thing: that black blur near the borders inside of widgets (item slots, research buttons), KILL IT.

If you really NEED to have it, please render the effect to make it look physically reasonable instead of just slapping a cheap blurred bevel/inset effect.

That goddamn blur of black is ...

You misunderstand, the same effect happens to me with every 0.15 inventory screenshot I can find online. The problem is the gradient in the slot background. It used to be flat gray, now it has a soft radial gradient. THAT's the blur. It's like there's a layer underneath that's out of focus, and that ...

Haven't played in 3 months but I suppose the big problems haven't changed recently. Endgame is a real problem, and the lack of replay value is also a real problem. After you've gotten used to the game, every replay feels like the same, even the randomly generated world feels like the same every time ...

Omg, I swear I read the roadmap! How did I miss that? :O

I feel much relieved, thanks for pointing that out

You know, the gui.png looks like it was slapped together real quick and I was hoping it was just a temporary placeholder and the artists would fix it before 0.15 went stable, but since it's still there I suppose I need to rant a little.

The slots in inventory look like there's a massive blur there ...

TB is totally pissed about early access games and the impossibility of reviewing them. Do you review the buggy alpha stuff that's unfinished and criticize it accordingly, or do you review the potential the game has? And what if that potential never materializes and the game ends up abandoned? Or ...

Window resize has been causing issues to me all the time as well, some random images fail to work if I resize during loading. It has been like this since the first version I played, and resizing right after starting a new game (i.e. after main menu) has sometimes even crashed the game.

Personally, I think the larger size isn't big enough a handicap for zero-coal ore processing. It's such a huge upgrade that it's not an upgrade anymore, it's a completely different way to process the ores.

Maybe electric furnaces should require a pipe input for some sort of solvent (created in a ...

I tried to think of something clever, and now I REALLY want a logistics network support in my fridge and some bots to fetch me drink... But this isn't really a case of too much factorio, this is just inadequacy of the real life. Right?

Try restarting and launch the game before starting any other apps? 256M VRAM is very tight for the current version of Factorio, so many things can go wrong and even having youtube open in a browser might be the reason it's not lauching...

Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6630M, AMD Radeon HD 6630M, PCIe, 256 MB

... that's a little low. anyway, to have any chance of running the game, you need to enable low graphics mode manually by editing the config.ini

You mean the "write-data"? The name is confusing so I have no idea what it does exactly, but I read it also affects mods, scenarios and some other things. Not an ideal solution for changing just the savegame folder.

Does your username have special characters in it? If so, try to drag the factorio.app to Applications and launch it from there.
