o_o That's nice one!
I believe it would make more sense in a form of dedicated "dump truck" like wagon though.
(seems perfect for transporting single type of items in bulk, as in real world)

Why ? Past the very early game, adding new labs to consume more flasks in parallel is cheap and easy. The consequence is that reseach speed per flask doesn't matter much: you can research almost as fast as you want by adding more labs to research in parallel. The real bottleneck, what really matter...

TL;DR The recycler shouldn't be introduced since it forces a cap on productivity bonuses, which go against the very nature of "the factory must grow" I'm under impression that Recycler introduction is not the most pressing matter to which Productivity cap attends to... We don't know enoug...

Does anyone have a formula for the maximum throughput of a rail line? Hot take: Purely speed-derived train throughput means nothing if cargo is not being actually delivered anywhere. For usual cargo max throughput is 27.69 items per second per stack inserter working, in ideal case (12 inserters) it...

About 2 seconds after release, a mod will come out moving cliff explosives back to earlier in the tree. + mod that tailors Quality naming to particular tastes, + mod which will allow switching to old Drone logics. Maybe more. I don't think that it's a sign of some problem with the game design. I th...

[*]Fixed bad pumpjack drain logic related to yield. (https://forums.factorio.com/110005) Didn't knew that oil spills rich enough can have more than 2/s yield minimum. Good to know! (might come handy for making dedicated Legendary fuel factories in the future...) The minimum is being calculated usin...

My personal playstyle is prevention for some reason. I have this part which says "if you cause too big of an attack, you may fail to handle it so don't cause attacks" And this really slows down my progress. I end up wasting so much time on looking at the pollution and the debug to see if ...

Lot of "fixed when mod [defines absurdly huge value for something]" in there. :lol: No laughing matter here. As "base" game is technically a mod-like bunch of content definitions on top of exceptionally refined engine (riiiiight? In-game UI sends mixed messages in regard to this...

Is there any point in NOT trying v2?
Drone IQ upgrade alone warrants some extra hours investment. Just to give it a spin.
More convenient rails? Twice as nice!
And there's probably more.

^ which once again confirms that Quality feature is a great decision which stimulates creativity on one more level. The problem is, while the developers basically did teased more or less precise numbers, exact Quality effect list is still due to appear. And, to a degree I am aware of, ANY informatio...

Why don't pumps have filters for fluids? See official thorough explanation . Well, it tilts towards eplanation of technical details behind that decision, but still... Official and exhaustive. Anyone want to take a stab at this? What's the ultimate goal for this feature? Given that it will NOT impro...

You can get a steam key for free for yourself if you bought the game through the website.

(Also, GOG.com version exists. And a version for Nintendo Switch became available recently)

You basically lose your entire save if there is no unpause. Permanent pause = bad. I don't see how it can be deduced from Include a mod option to set the timeout for how often pauses can be triggered with this item. , honestly. Especially, since my response implies some form of unpause already and ...

Additional notes Include a mod option to set the timeout for how often pauses can be triggered with this item. This is to prevent pause from being fired continuously, and can give some padding of however many seconds/minutes/hours you want that acts as a timer for the next time pause can be trigger...

I'd take a liberty to ask a really hard question about whole concept. Since "early bus" have finite lifespan anyway (because starter resource patches are slim) and as proper base building starts after unlocking most key technologies (advanced oil processing, nuclear / solar energy, etc-etc...

Can you elaborate on the goal you'd like to accomplish [with global train network stats like that]? Analysis is nice - but it's done for analysis's sake seldom. And, for most cases I can imagine on the spot, the feature is present already in a form of rail signal logistics circuit network output, wh...

So you'd like to implement a sort of "golem mode" showcased in some old classic rogue-likes? You know, where you generate the character then let AI play it instead of player. While I have no experience with Factorio modding API yet, I assume that Factorio <-> AI "bridge mod" boil...

The fact that you have been banned from so many as you claim is also suspicious and leans towards a tendency of not being able to follow the rules and/or other issues, which may not be looked upon favorably for closed beta testing. Just curious. Is recommendation letter from such small-scale indie ...

As of liquids, I did asked in announcement comments. No response yet. Since in either case (Liquids have quality vs Liquids don't have quality) there are a lot of impactful game design decisions to make, I can wait. Maybe there'll be a dedicated FFF about how Quality would gonna interact with Liquid...

Can I vote for "chipped, flawed, regular, flawless, perfect"?

Chipped Barrel of Chipped Lubricant.
This is ridiculous.
And I'm not even starting on Perfect...

P. S. Crude Crude Oil, anyone?
