I've noticed that there's a few specific events that the player may want to be notified of, that don't really have enough of an impact to get a warning notice: Miners running out of ore (always important, since you can't place them like this) Radars that just finished discovering new land (ignoring ...

If you're using crowd-sourced languages, you may as well use it to the fullest. There's no real reason to not include it.

Can we get a British English option?

I would really like to see a lite-version, with a bit less agressiv biters that ignore rails. The thing you want is actually in the first post under notable mentions. It only works for rails (not signals/stations), but it changes rail network building difficulty from 'practically impossible' to 'qu...

The heavy inserter looks like a great alternative, but I have a couple of suggestions regarding it: 1. When collecting items, it should ALWAYS wait until it's full before moving, which means regular inserters are still useful when throughput is low. 2. There should either not be a smart heavy insert...

uint length = *p++;//load a byte into a register boolean hasNext = length &0x80; // move the high bit in another register while(hasnext){ //test other register length <<=7; int current = *p++; // load next byte into register length |= current &0x7f; hasnext = current &0x80; // move the ...

reading 4 bytes and interpreting as an int is cheaper than reading a byte, checking the high bit and then branching to shift and read the next byte, goto check for high bit This actually depends on the player's read speed and CPU speed, though typically it is in fact the opposite. It would take a p...

I'm against this, the entire point is that they take up a lot of room. In exchange you get a power source that is highly flexible and is free to run.

How would your setup work, if other types of energy are introduced? Like wind-, water-generators. Or nuclear power? Free energy (needs to fuel) -> Accumulator -> Non-free energy -> Emergency This could be implemented with a number priority system. For instance, set solar to 100, accumulators to 75,...

Actually, why not have a default zoom for all games?

Combinators take up quite a lot of room when you want to do a lot of complex functions, therefore it would be nice if a combinator was able to do multiple operations in one go. Initially they would do one operation (like they do now), but research would allow more and more operations in a single com...

Personally, I think nixie tubes don't fully suit the aesthetic of Factorio. Not sure what it is about them, maybe the fact they're very rounded? Also, perhaps large 7-segment displays would better suit the flat display currently being used? Here's something I threw together: https://dl.dropboxuserco...

The size of the world isn't mentioned, for all we know it could be 10 times as large as our own. Assuming it's about as large as our own, in order to loop back around you'd need to go about 12.7k km. Assuming a tile is 1m, this puts the time to loop in a car (which is close to 100km/h) at 127 hours,...

Time. None of the old models where created with enough detail to make any kind of HD texture pack possible before the steam engine and the car and would need to be completely re-worked to support higher resolutions. I'd take a poke at it if the models were public, though that comes with its own iss...

My idea about power: Make energy transport more complex. If you implement two problems: - capacity of cables - loss over long distance Then energy would turn into another logistics problem - which is why we play Factorio :-) This would also add some chalenges to large field of solars. Then you'd ju...

However, the if part of the factory simply improves itself as time goes by, as would happen in the case pollution being tied to oil per second, then that's another matter. Even if the reduction in pollution is in trade for a loss in oil production, that's not something the player is deciding for th...

I think that there is enough mods to prevent this.

Mods shouldn't influence how the game is balanced, otherwise you end up with a game that has mandatory mods that may as well be part of the game.

I really don't see why pollution needs to be a factor of material out. In real life, pollution increases as ore supply runs low because you're going after worse ores. What starts with high grade oil or native copper end up with pit mines to go after dirt and rock with a 0.1 percent copper content o...
