It sadens me to read that the time of „Friday facts“ may come to an end - your little stories and insights into the game development have a fixed place in my weekly routine now, and it is the most obvious feat. that sets you appart from soooo many other developers where, as a player, you feel like ...

The big worms on Vulcanus are meant to be a tough challenge. But by the time you are building space platforms, you definately should have all prior technology researched. The big worms are also very „territorial“, so as long as you don‘t tuch their territory, they will leave you alone. So you can do ...

You guys are REALLY delivering - So far, I would have happily payed between 5-10 bucks per friday facts feature presented (if available as micro-DLCs) I hope you will charge at least the original 30 bucks for the addon, its so well deserved … I can‘t wait to spend another 5000+ hours into a game of ...

I have played both Factorio and Satisfactory a lot (Factorio around 5000 hours), and if you look at the differences, you also see pretty well what the problems are in a 3D world.

Satisfactory is managing to reproduce far more factories and belts in a 3D world then I thought would possible, but at ...

Absolutely amazing idea! The other day, I was looking for the error in a huge multiplayer factory, and only after starting to click through a good 100 inserters manually, I found that one that, for whatever reason, had whitelist instead of blacklist enabled.

I like the general idea, but 2N-designs provide much better efficiency.

For me it makes a huge difference what exactly you are transporting.
For ore to smelter trains, 4-16 or whatever can work well, especially if you design your delivery trains in a waythat they don‘t touch „the inner network“. Personally, I usually stick to 2-8 or 2-8-2 designs in this area, simply ...

What an amazing journey it has been so far - I randomly found this game many years ago, watching livestreams while being in hospital. The first thought Ihad when leaving hospital was „I need to get this thing!“

Since then, I have spent around 5000 hours in it, usually playing it as cooperative ...

Factorio is a game, that seems to be just one of those thousands of retro-look games in steem, and for that quite expensive ...

... but once you get into it, you start to recognise how different it is from most games you have ever played. I‘d mention its name along the other groundbraking games of ...

What about alternative recipes that allow you to use:
- 10 stone + 10 coal
- 10 stone + 10 iron ore
- 10 stone + 10 copper ore

still realistic, and a good sink for temporary ressource unbalance (too little stone and too much copper?)

By the way, some of us will be playing on Pyrewood Village, Alliance

In case you need heals on your way into the deadmines, feel free to whisper „Arnadiana“ for some support

From my experience, having 2 belt per wagon and a buffer chest ist perfectly fine, but for important stations, I use a different setup meanwhile:
- all bufferchests for a single wagon are combined with a decider circuit that asks, if there is exactly enough of the item to fill a complete wagon. If ...

The and/or buttons should be moved up half a row, aligning them between conditions (which is their behaviour). My mockup:

While I LOVE nearly everything the Factorio Crew has done in this FFF, I really think this detail change of ...

^^^^ THIS !!!!!

Getting 4K screens is affordable indeed. Getting a good 4k screen is terribly expensive. By good, I mean with relatively accurate colors, high contrast, homogenous brightness, no clouding, good viewing angles, ... The sub 4K market still has a good future awaiting it. I think it would be a bad ...

As the gun turret is your very first base defence, even before you have built electric power, its a balancing thing that they only require the most basic materials for construction.

If you add more complex materials, especially starter players might quickly become overwhelmed by the biters.

For ...

Just wait until the I-want-fluids-to-be-as-simple-as-electricity proponents get here...

Or the „noes, the new implemetation of fluids breaks my mod !!!“

With this picture, the game should be sold in a box!


And yes, concerning the picture I was thinking in the box of a physical copy of the game. Something that maybe never happens, but I would love so much to do.


I‘d at once buy the box, even if its being shipped without the game ...

I‘m actually using a 2 x 4k monitor setup, and using a single of the screens, everything works like a charm (gfx 980 + i7-7700k) on our multiplayer map (40000 rockets launched, 600 trains moving).

When I tried windowed-mode on 2 x 4k screen, it still works fine perfance-wise, but also got the ...
