you seem to have woken up on the wrong side of the bed today.

I don't think Rseding was the person who woke up pissed.

To be honest, I am a big fan of DoT being applied every game tick, which makes it feel much more natural. I do understant that it comes at a perfornance cost, but it's a big "feels good" moment.

At 60TPS you won't notice a difference.

When a company asks you nicely to change something for trademark reasons you do it. Simple as that. Better to do it voluntarily and part friends (or at least without animosity) than have to deal with legal issues. Besides, someday you may have a trademark to protect. Why cause a fight when it is suc...

making it an entirely different experience

Since the current experience is a rather bad tutorial, yes, this is what ought to be done.

I had heard the intro campaign was hard before I tried it, so I ended up building defenses like I would in an advanced freeplay game. Thank goodness I did, because I was almost overrun. There are way too many enemies in this tutorial. Also, there is an extra amount of difficulty tacked on: You are e...

That tech should unlock much earlier. As it is there is no way to cross belts in the tutorial.

Forget splitting, merging, balancing, etc. With no way to even cross belts building a factory sucks.

FFF at 4 AM? I'm guessing timezones are at work here

Shallow water would be awesome for one thing: A really cheap landfill that can be crafted from stone *or* hand crafted very, very slowly from nothing. That way you cannot get stuck on an island with no way off.

3GB for high res? I run high res on a 2GB card and it does not lag or anything, nice steady 60/60

For now, until the bug is fixed or otherwise worked around, you can always use hardlinks.

Fixed a bug with pumps not activating sometimes. (https://forums.factorio.com/58082) Fixed roboport connections would be missing in some cases. (https://forums.factorio.com/58238) Fixed a bug with pumps not activating sometimes. (https://forums.factorio.com/58082) Once wasn't enough? :P

Well, for me I have all my big power poles wired into a single network in order to carry certain global control signals anyway (used mostly for emergency power cutoffs to keep the base defenses from turning off during a major brownout), so I just add latches to anything I want to control remotely. W...

That is a known NAB condition that is (probably) unrelated to this issue.

With the new crash uploader, submitting a crash report is automatic, but sometimes it would be nice to have a way to provide more details about the crash. Rather than making users upload the report to the forum with the extra info they want to add, why not give each report a GUID? This GUID would be...

IMHO crash reports are missing one simple thing: A GUID that is added to the sent data AND displayed to the user as a way to link a specific crash report to a forum bug report. When the game crashes, the report is sent, and the user is told "If you want to report more details about what happened, fe...

Honestly.

"Oh no, they may know my mod list! Maybe even my PC username! It's the end of the world!"

Go have hysterics about something worth worrying about.

Why not QT? This is why. That article is a little old, but it is still accurate. QT is not made for games.

EDIT: Also, way back the Warzone 2100 team started trying to move from SDL to QT for various reasons. Performance tanked, and the move was scrapped.

Please don't split the renderer. This just causes either more work for you or one renderer to be favored while the other runs bad and/or with bugs. Please. think about OpenGL 4.5 only or Vulkan. I'll second this. There is no reason to support DX when OpenGL works fine. Vulkan may be a bridge too fa...

If it let filtered items through when backed up it would be much harder to make sorters.

I hope the map editor changes mean someone is working on new campaign missions...

I'll second this, but in a slightly different way: Factorio does not play nice with alt+tab, specifically it never minimizes. I'm guessing these two things are closely related.
