This is exactly why since the beginning of times master is taken over by his student. That's the way it goes, and that's how a master finish his life. But the master was an essential piece of perfecting an art and transmitting his knowledge. The student will become master the day he overcome him ...

Here's another thing to consider with electric (and nuclear) trains: they would pollute less. Yeah, I understand that not all players care about this seemingly small detail. But if you're investing heavily in solar panels and nuclear power, which seem to be the two options (out of three) that a lot ...

Totally second this whole post. I had a very similar idea not too long ago, but I had never considered the possibility of electric trains. My idea was actually to have an early game "burn everything" steam engine that's nerfed from the get-go (a heavier locomotive with a lower fuel efficiency/top ...

Well, personally I like the lamp staggering, but maybe since not everyone does it should be a game option?

Alright so upon getting cars and tanks, it appears you can have multiple players in one vehicle now. Suggest moving to implemented.

Even if that 3D model (just really simple boxes with 2-3 texture layers to simulate and animate moving details - don't need to be more detailed in current resolution and zoom level) is in real time converted into flat texture(s) with transparency (like currently needed by game engine), and placed ...

Passenger seat for vehicles (Rseding91)
Just a minor multiplayer feature.

You must study the FFFs every Friday diligently and attentively! FFS!

I know, what was I thinking?!?

Links? Don't know off hand which ones mention vehicles.

My idea is relatively simple: What if you could have more than one person in cars, tanks, and trains?

From a technical standpoint, I don't know how hard it would be to implement. But having a passenger in a car or tank with you could have benefits: one driver, and one gunner. In a tank, imagine ...

I'd like to clarify that my idea is more about 3D models instead of sprites, and less about terrain height differences and cliffs.

Sounds like you just want to be able to choose your viewpoint instead of having a fixed top down view.

Yes, that's exactly correct. Factorio: First-Person Mode.

This is really awesome. Are you giving away your Python script too, or is that a trade secret?

I'd like to clarify that my idea is more about 3D models instead of sprites, and less about terrain height differences and cliffs.

I know this is absolutely audacious to suggest, given how extremely ambitious the idea is, but I feel a need to say it anyways - Factorio: 3D mode.

Factorio is a top-down 2D game made mostly of sprites and textures. There's nothing extraordinary with that statement; granted, Factorio is an amazing ...

Ahh, what a relief. The only thing I ever wanted in this game.

My suggestion is simple. I love trains and I love nuclear power. So I come to you all with a proposal: Why not both?

We can load up cars, tanks, and trains with wood, wood objects, coal, solid fuel and rocket fuel. What if we could give cars, tanks and trains (or maybe just trains) nuclear power ...

Indeed.

That's just the issue. I'm in sandbox mode, so there is no physical manifestation of the player. Thus, I have no way to destroy a chest full of items.

Hi,
I'm just now getting into Factorio Sandbox Mode (I have around 600 hours in normal mode and I wanted to try something new), and I don't see any way to do away with unwanted items in my inventory. Is it possible to simply delete items?

Thanks.

Alright. So, I've played plenty of Factorio now, and among some of the things that I really like to build are Laser Turrets. Who doesn't love watching biters and spitters getting helplessly mowed down by lasers? But my proposal is this: Can we make them better?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has ...
