I can hear Michael Hendricks on pumps … next time.

Pump that right into my veins. We going past spaghetti and into fettuccine now.

Every single one of these seems so simple in retrospect, so necessary once seen, and could itself be foe a minor update.

The amount of polish on this game is so amazing.

Salute to Wube, both those staying on and those whose work is finishing. It's great to see a project that is complete instead of becoming Factorio as a Service ($9.99/mo).

If you already loaded your save in 2.0 the biggest change has already happened - your rail curves changed. Old ones continue to exist but I don’t think you can build them anymore.

If you then enable space age, some tech will move around. There are rumors that it would delete some items you ...

Quality actually feels quite nice so far for me - I can dabble in it and get some serious rewards (quality even to uncommon and rare of certain things is really nice - armor and equipment, spacecraft components (not platform!), accumulators and solar panels, power poles).

Legendary after “endgame ...

This could be handled by interrupts.

Make it so if you name an interrupt “Temporary Stop” it calls that interrupt when arriving at a temporary stop.

Then you program the interrupt how you’d like.

Gleba is hard because it punishes the thing everyone has done since time immemorial in Factorio - let belts backup by overproduction.

Fulgora is hard until you work out how to cycle and sort.

Once both are solved it’s relatively easy - except gleba throws enemies at you that the standard wall ...

As can be seen by the steam (lol) achievement on steam only 20% or so have played much of anything (unmodded) which is actually pretty high for a steam game - many people buy games aspirationally or with the intent to play but don’t get around to it.

And there are certainly decent numbers of ...

The only real spoilers I felt I shouldn’t have seen were how to deal with the fauna …

I optimize by building the next one better.

I won’t replace my iron factories with the new Vulcanus machines but by NEW iron expansion certainly is using them.

Eventually I remember the dead ore patches and deconstruct them.

Death world is the only one that it really matters on, and then only early game as you need to minimize pollution so you don’t get overwhelmed. Most death worlds that die die in a loop of “mining to make the weapons/ammo results in more attacks than the weapons/ammo can deal with”.

But you pass a ...

My only annoyance is that I have two islands close enough that I can connect them with a single logistic network (barely) but it makes a U shape and bots die outside the lightning protection.

So it would be nice to be able to (research) oil pylons for the lightning rods only.

But I get what the ...

My rough calculation is there are about 300 items, times 5 quality levels, so around 1500 - so maybe after 2048 slots in a chest it should switch to Logistics style - where it shows one item per "virtual slot" and tells you how many total slots you have.

Seems to have been fixed with 2.0.23

Don’t build a new ship piecemeal - or if you must have a blueprint that is basically platform and walls around the ship while it loads/builds.

Nauvis is forgiving and lets you figure out what you’re doing, but if you’re deploying elsewhere it should be prepared to fight from the beginning (a two ...

Supposedly will unlock all tips, but that would be ... all - including spoilers.

They say it doesn't disable achievements ...

I have a similar issue - I have not received any tips & tricks after the quality ones; I've reached volcanus from YouTube tutorials but haven't a thing in the tips.

As far as I know I didn't skip anything. I also don't know how I could manually "trigger" them to appear

I'm on 2.0.21 and I can't figure out how to use it. I guess I can only make starter packs with this extra?

The biggest things I see as “easier” are the quality weapons that - if you focus on them when you can (a few miners with quality mods and a splitter to sort are all you really need) you become quite powerful early game.

Biters shouldn’t be an issue at all.

If it DOES feel too long and you’ve ...

You can review a "QoL changes" YouTube video for the biggest ones, but that will really be between 1.1 and 2.0.

So far the main thing I've noticed is some slightly different ordering for researches, different recipes in some cases, and the ability to blueprint loaded turrets (this is the biggest ...
