Get Noxy's Swimming and the biters can traverse water.

Desert maps are tough. If also the biters are very near the ore patches, it can be quite problematic. Thanks for the tips. I've also seen players place primitive buildings as walls to funnel biters into single file arrangements. I consider this a hack, but seems desert starts are meant to be an ama...

TL;DR: I doubt Wube is in immediate danger of going bankrupt even after the inflation. But, They also don't have 50+ years of money in the bank. Maybe 3-7 years.. And even then, that's assuming zero growth of the company from this point on, no additional projects, no way to put a second game in the...

Could I please get a name change to "MiniHerc"? Thank you!

What are we missing? That wube is not a non profit. :P And yet this is a direct quote from Kovarex "Thanks, this is appriciated. Big part of it is, that our (or at least mine) approach to money is, that once you have enough to live comfortably, and enough to financially support the ongoing (an...

Edit: Redacted because of misinformation.

Per this 'Price Increase' blog post After careful consideration, we have decided to set the new price of the game to 30 USD (or your regional equivalent). This change will become effective as of the 16th of April 2018. This is the final Factorio price update, unless something unforeseen happens , s...

Why did this need changing? The new icon is awful.

Thanks for the report however that change was done on purpose. Griefing the playerbase was done on purpose? Why? Those settings need to be saved. This means that every time someone loads it up, they have to set the filters all over again, adding up to years of additional effort forced upon the play...

Steps to reproduce:

• Launch Factorio
  Click Multiplayer, Browse public games
  Set some search filters
  Click Back, Back, Exit
  Relaunch Factorio
  Go back to the public game browser
  Notice that the search filters reset to default.

This is not a feature suggestion. I was putting down some roboports in an outpost. The outpost didn't have power. After having put some construction bots in one of the ports, they rushed out to get some trash from me and stuck around as there was no storage. Then they bounced from port to port as t...

So it doesn't actually solve the issue it was supposed to. The info can still overflow the screen, even with the weapons moved to the left. Why not actually solve the issue by making the info panel on the right scrollable if it gets too big and suddenly screen size is not an issue any more and the ...

Only reason why they were not possible to be extracted was that when a player joins with an empty blueprint library, there is a blueprint library synchronization happening which removes all the blueprints that player does not have. But why remove them? Because player does not have them in local sto...

Would it be possible to override that for modded games? Specifically, Pyanodons, and the seablock mod for it? Early game, I'm slowly producing liquid glass from quartz at a rate of 10 fluid units per 10 seconds or so, and with the underground pipe length I was using, I was experiencing 75% fluid lo...

As far as I know the reason why pipes flush when below 0.05 fluid is to prevent an incredibly tiny amount just sitting there clogging up the pipe(s). Since all fluids in the game are infinite it's a non-issue; more will come in and the cycle continues. Would it be possible to override that for modd...

Science isn't about Why. It's about Why Not!!!

This thread should probably be merged into this other thread, since they both suggest the same thing.

Came here to suggest this. You noticed, that you can do that already by using the map exchange string? I doubt this will be used by many players. But I may be wrong. Until then I think this should have low priority. I would definitely use it. Map exchange strings cannot be saved within the game. Edi...
