... problem of having multiple production standards, which doesn't ever really exist after you get a recycler.

This is problematic because it's as boring as watching paint dry unless you have a background in investment banking or have put some hours into Seablock. It's also not what you're going to ...

... is that I am not trying to shut down meaningful criticism about any mechanics.



Instead I think Vulcanus breaks quality. Pipes everywhere are boring. Everything being actually free is boring. Only two tungsten intermediaries that are essentially the same thing as the only planet-specific ...

... not very useful. Give me a reason to have those crazy sushi belts earlier on Gleba.

... you leave Nauvis and get the recycler.

If you want to upgrade your factory to quality using the recycle loop method only, that's really, really boring and wasteful. And when I say wasteful I don't mean of resources, because who cares (resources are unlimited). It's wasteful of your time and effort ...

... is just better. Secondly, there's not much challenge to quality science - it's exactly the same builds multiplied by 5. So it's tedious and boring.

I think the solution to this is to make some way to produce quality reliably via different and more complex crafting chains.

I also don't think ...

... based on circumstances. It is unreasonable to expect for balance different approaches need to yield the exact same result. This would make a more boring game.


For the purposes of academic discussion, I disagree that the modules are balanced for science. The way you've described using quality ...

... going into too much detail to avoid hijacking the thread, my point still stands: the two approaches are balanced because I would chose either based on circumstances. It is unreasonable to expect for balance different approaches need to yield the exact same result. This would make a more boring game.

... there are several layers to terrain generation already, but once enough of the map is discovered the samey-ness becomes obvious and repetitive and boring and ultimately disappointing

Resources and bodies of water should not all be so evenly spaced: everything would look far better if we had vast ...

... Heat Pipe actually adds back a bit of Variety to gameplay. All of my Vanilla Aquilo builds tend towards “Long Inserters EVERYWHERE!!!”, which gets boring after a while.

Quality Heat Pipes sounds like a nice idea; but the Reach bonus at even Rare (+2) is enough to render the freezing challenge ...

Deathworld was very boring after mid game and only mods like original Rampant made Factorio playable. In 2.0 I have to set up 20..50 size expansions every 3-6 minutes in map settings after changed API killed most epic mods. Hope you've finally made it a d-e-a-t-h mode. Who don't like it should enjoy ...

I do enjoy the biters and without them this game would be boring. Really I wish there would be a combat oriented DLC that utilized our production capacity in a star ship troopers type planet takeover. It would be neat to have to build capacity to fund an extra solar system war.

I have always played ...

I think it was a feature. Some diversity is always good. If they are all the same it is boring. It gives immersive exploration experience of finding different things in the planet. And might cause the battles to go a little different each time.

... their entire development cycles on ensuring every single factory ever made by every player is almost always virtually the exact same thing.

It's boring, it's stupid, and it's narrow minded. It's a great game that only works because modding means you can undo all the bad decisions made by the ...

I think that is fine because guaranteed safety would be boring.

... is WAY WAY more cheaty than building a space casino ever could be. It's also easy to understand why you wouldn't find the current quality mechanic boring if it's upcycling while you're asleep and at work.
