Having alien "research centers" that increase the attributes (speed, resistance, rate of proliferation) might be cool. They could be both a target for raids, or, a place to dump human objects for alien research to promote peace. Haha, so you are saying that instead of us researching them,...

Maybe there is a giant artifact that is left behind by an alien race. The artifact would act like a factory that can produce alien artifacts, for a cost. (The easy way out.)

Well first of, pirating is not theft. When you download something you make a copy of the origional. After many broken games I find scepticisme quite normal. Also, I find the notion of invasive DRM quite offensive. But, if you like the pirated software, please give the creator a small donation so he/...

That's nice to hear. Thanks.

I do hope that I can get a steam free copie. I know that I'll be getting a steam key once they go to steam, but are they also providing other download locations?

Sorry, but did you try putting the starting area to "none" or "small". This setting overwrites the resource settings in the immediate area. I can't really see if you knew this because of the giant wall of text.

Yeah, this would help the OCD people out there. I also find it anoying that threes get those little bars of health and don't lose them. So I would love for this to be implemented!

There was a treat about pirating factorio. So it should probably be safe to talk about it.

Oh... Sorry, I thought it was impossible or hard to program. Seems like I thought wrong.

Civilian Robots Cleaner Robot - pick up items from the ground and items from the player that they dont want to have it in his inventory and bring them to a storage chests, maybe green roboport area (be carefull to pickup alien artefacts) This would probably cause problems with belt systems. Since i...

Well, I don't really see a lot of room to work with. The bitters in it's current form don't seem to be intelligent enough for trade. So my only suggestion at this moment would me something in the fain of "2001". My suggestion would be a giant "black" obelisk or monolith. This mon...

I woudl like it too, but last summer this was discussed by me and the problem is - well explained by the devs, and I must admit that they are right - that the current top-view doesn't really enable that. So I don't give much hope into that - the decisions for that had been taken up about last summe...

for me its idiotism doing in game replay system. i better will use bandicam or fraps or many other program. this is only losting time, nobody not will use this. into prison architect they make replay system but i newer see letsplays on them, all use better program The replay function is a result of...

Y'all act like the game's limited to you locking yourself in your factory and watching stuff happen by itself, like the biters only exist so they can walk up to turrets and die. This is not true and has never been true. There are already RPG elements. You can build power armor and go whoop them up ...

I would love to see it happen. But yeah, it's a 2D game. Making the game isometric 3D (Is that the correct term?) could do it, but I don't know how much extra work this would create. Probably too much. But the addition of Age of empires style of platues could be nice.

RTS scene is dead and desperately needs a change. Pretty much the only competition there is is Starcraft - although that's a on a wildly different level that not even Factorio can only dream of achieving. CnC took the wrong way, then flopped around a little and died. The only thing keeping RTS play...

niccccccccce...

Yeah, this would be great. This would allow me to see how far apart I need to plant the laserturrets.

I would love to have this implemented. Copied from another post of mine: "What I would like to suggest is the making reconasance drones. In my mind, this game drives on automating everything. What I would like to see is a reason for the player to roam the countryside. My suggestion would be to ...
