My biggest gripe is it teaching a bad lesson about how you make solid fuel efficiently. The new oil recipe forces you to make solid fuel from Petroleum until you have researched Advanced Oil Processing. ... and after you unlock new technology, you get obviously better way to do it than before, othe...

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/laser_fix Kinda expected something like this That looks totally bizarre and flat and unrealistic. Like the air around the beam is glowing. About as unrealistic as being able to see a laser in the first place. On the other hand, if they were plasma beams... Actually, yo...

Target being hit should also get some glow. (At least tiny bit.) When you focus light beam on object - it usually (if not completely black AND matt) reflects some light onto surroundings.

Personally I never read magazines and seldom read online articles. I discover new games from YouTube letsplays . And what can I say: Factorio is much less played now, than it was before. After Steam release it was a huge hype. Probably the same will be after 1.0 release. Or may not. Anyway, YouTube ...

(8) Item is not requested and maximum amount is 0: When you don't want the item to be ever in your inventory, in this case, we just show no number, same as it is in the auto trash slots now. under logistics: Items requesting 0 and max set to 0... instead of having nothing on them, how about having ...

I don't see remnants are of any usefullness except for scenario aesthetics. Just set an option "place ghost when any building is destroyed" (not deconstructed) enabled-by-default, and it solves any further issues. Move all remnants (except for few general 1x1 ruin tiles) to map editor as d...

The problem with predictive aiming is target just has to zigzag a bit: say, moving right, you constantly press up-down-up-down-... and every single projectile will land lower or higher than your actual trajectory. Spitters / worms (or just worms, to make them more dangerous) could save the player m...

The problem with predictive aiming is target just has to zigzag a bit: say, moving right, you constantly press up-down-up-down-... and every single projectile will land lower or higher than your actual trajectory. The only solution is adding less convenient AoE: spray acid beam in short lines, or ma...

You shouldn't really bother with comprehension to biters. While playing Diablo 3 I never had pity in "fairy" semi-secret level to that pink ponies or unicorns, or whatever-it-was (don't remember exactly - was quite a while ago). I was just annoyed by absurdness of what was happening. I bet...

Can't say vocabulary inconsistency is too little issue. No, really. Perfection is made of tiny things. If you have desire and possibility to make the game even better - go on.

Yes.. it´s still a GAME not an automation-macro. Otherwise you could - after starting the factorio.exe do nothing, all is done by the auomation-game itself. Just watching it, like video. I'm not certain this is really an issue considering that you'd have to make a conscious decision to play that wa...

Research queue is implemented quite good in Oxygen Not Included: when research is finished, the queued one is started instantly, and player gets "sticky" notification (the one, that presists and annoys you until you open it or press "x" icon) - thus it - doesn't stop game - does...

I hope there won't be any birds on bug planet : ). Why not. I bet the bugs'll find them delicious. :twisted: Lol, that's for sure, and that's one of reasons, why no birds should be there (left)))) Anyways, one more thing about editor import: I'd make it somewhat similar to blueprint mechanics: let ...

I hope there won't be any birds on bug planet : ) The other thing, I think, map editor's import tool shouldn't be restricted to singleplay, as people may want to team-make scenarios, thus they may want to make "modules" in singleplay in between coop-creative sessions, and then add what the...

If you want people to select - create a poll.
I'd vote for #4.

From what I saw in the "S." trailer, Factorio still gives player very unique feature: you give puzzles to yourself. One of the most specific examples is so-called belt puzzle, which is the most fun part for me (in complex with other game features, ofcourse)). However, S.'s trailer have sho...

New GUI even WIP is so cool, that after it'll come to us, trying old one will give eye cancer (never really noticed how does GUI need an upgrade))) Though, I have a suggestion about map preview "spoiling exploration" : How about changing window so you don't instantly see current seed (inpu...

Hovered switch looks just like enabled one? If so, it will not work good to have jumping switches as you simply hover them bypassing - would be very confusing and distracting. Or is it just a hovered enabled switch?

Bot nerfs just won't work. Longer charge = multiple roboport chunks. Not fun. Maybe give them item pickup\placing time, or acceleration from quite low speed, to make them inefficient for short range transportation? Or add some ACHIEVEMENTS to encourage players at least to make few playthroughs, say,...

Probably, buffer chest should also have checkbox "alliw to requesters" - thus player will be able to have many small requesters for individual assemblers around main buffer, granting proper resource delivrry and distribution.
