... this will totally ruin early game - player just won't be able to handle smart enemies early. But on later progression stages - enemies just become boring... They attack straight and can't cross water - they just won't ever surprise you. But this new approach can and will surprise - just because ...

... FPS/UPS that you play to?


Before I joined team Factorio, I played Anno 1602 alot. In Anno I started a new game, when the current one has become boring. And this always happened, when there was no space left to build and all things where already optimized.

I haven't reached this point in Factorio ...

... tutorial, but a non-mandatory one. I can complete the game without circuit networks, for example, but it just takes a lot more time, is a lot more boring, and it means missing out on a lot of content. One of the most brilliant parts of the game is that you can decide how you want to play, and there ...

... t even glimpsed because the glaringly obvious defects were covering them up.

This is how most software shops operate. They get excited about new features. They don't care about bugs. Bug fixing is boring and tedious. Most developers don't want to do it.

Wube is unique because they prioritize bugs.

... This behavior is a pro, not a con. To have everything streamlined and every edge case controlled and mitigated by the game engine is bland and boring.

You have your opinion, and this is mine. And the developers have theirs. So in my opinion you have no reason to be so upset about something that ...

What

Please add an ability (or customization setting) to create rounded corners for the game interface.
It would help a lot to make smoother design in mods like FlatUI.

Why?

Because squared grayish interface is boring.

... no way for fast achivements. Everything takes weeks or months, so you need a couple of parallel construction sites if the game should'nt become a boring wait for something thing. So maybe it's better when it stays my way to play Factorio, and doesn't become mainstream. I don't think most people ...

You sound like a fun teamate, filled with enthusiasm and positivity, you should try multiplayer

Sure there are difficulty settings, but what for, in the end it is the same gameplay pattern, just even slower if it is ...

... this isn't a solid and balanced game mechanic for what Factorio is well known.

About that legendary spidertron. This is exactly what I mean with boring and tedious. Let's discuss this. It's all quite easy, even the legendary fish is interesting because it's slightly bizarre and because of its ...

... also gives me a chance to add more interesting features into the build (stairways - controls, etc) - otherwise the buid itself might end up kinda boring.
In the game it fits but if you break it down it basically consists only of tanks and pipes in various sizes.

Another problem will be the price ...

... the gate to quality isn't a researched recipe, it's a factory you need to design. (in my opinion it's failing since it's just as tedious, boring and uninteresting as more tiers, but that's just my personal opinion)

The game without quality is perfectly balanced. Removing normal items and ...

... max speed and acceleration with higher quality.

Because it simply makes absolute sense to do it.

Trains simply need more love in this game, especially less use of UPS for having wonderful train megabases again. Because everything done with belts just because of bad train UPS is simply boring.

... means lower speed, longer cycle time, and ultimately more ships per SPM.

That's tiny. I have a 600k espm promethium storage ship and it's boring as hell.


I think h.q.droid is saying that it's more efficient NOT to use storage ship at this size, it's already currently possible to build the ...

Well, I want to take a look at it :) 600k espm is about equivalent to my ship here at ~research productivity 75: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=130934

What's your cycle time? And UPS with ship en route ...

because belt storage encourages boring builds while being about 6x as effective as not using it. Giving them spoil time would make vastly different builds more interesting

With chunks spoiling you're adding a hard restriction, and hard restrictions lower the amount of possible and viable builds ...
