Give it at least 7-8 months. Its advisable to have multiplayer before steam This is a fallacy. Plenty of singleplayer games are very successful on steam. Ultimately the process of getting onto steam changes with time so the best time for getting onto steam is when the devs really feel ready to star...

In my experience from working in IT for a while: People don't read things, especially when they're at the bottom of the page below the "useful" content(thingies to click and thingies to fill) This is the truth but there is no solution in my experience. At least getting a phone call from a...

Yes please!

My personal opinion is yes they are too hard, but then I'm not a spring chicken any more and have some issues with hand mobility and such which makes it artificially harder.

I saw this problem early on. I also made some suggestions that could change the way the combat is played in Factorio. Read them, be enlightened and give me your feedback(Especially in the "Fight" Thread): Be enlightened? Interesting turn of phrase to use I guess. To the crux of the matter...

Alternate sources of energy (wind, oil and nuclear in particular) are my most wished for addition to Factorio closely followed by better defense/offense options without me having to get my hands dirty

The majority of QA work is usually done on a finished (feature complete) product whereas the current trend of early access / alpha is a very different beast. I've traditionally come in towards the end of beta phase and gleefully broken software to the utter despair of the developers who were sure th...

I'd be more inclined to go with artillery and just carpet bomb the entire area. I don't want to go shooting things when I can just effectively nuke the buggers

Hello, if we get to steam, we will give Steam keys to anyone who bought the game, naturally (https://www.factorio.com/faq). We are not in the regular greenlight campaign, as we didn't feel like we could complete with others games there, but we plan to start the campaign soon (probably january). My ...

Samsung and Sandisk seem to be getting the best reviews currently for SSD's. I'd be happy with anything from either company currently.

Yeah I plan on picking up another couple of copies of this for people I know. But that's a fair time off after it has launched on steam and during one of the sales.

Turret only ammo but allowing turrets to use normal ammo also would definitely alleviate some of the issues. I also like the idea of having an inserter with a solar cell to power it. Allowing normal ammo to be reused by turning it into piercing ammo is again another good suggestion, but keep the opt...

I think a large part of the problem with gun turrets is the ammo cost and size also. A magazine that only holds 10 shots? Maybe for pistols but for turrets or for the machine guns I want around 30. Piercing ammo? Still too expensive for what it is. Maybe adding a third level of ammo would alleviate ...

Oh I wish that was possible. Oil is something I am really looking forward to being a reality in Factorio.

I like the current speed to be honest. The part I have issue with is I want to be able to create robots that go out and fight for me, I don't want to have to run around shooting the mobs all the time. I know we have the little robots currently but I find they aren't strong enough and don't last long...

I think it was mentioned that an alternative to wires was being considered. I don't actually have time to go searching for the post now but I have this nagging feeling that logic circuits were being discussed in some capacity and then one of the devs mentioned that an alternative would be the ideal ...

I absolutely love playing the clean route. I mix solar and steam for the very early part of the game but as soon as I get automation going I focus on getting a large solar bank setup with accumulators to carry me through the night.

That looks very cool indeed.

The UK has fun political groups as follows:

* Corrupt left wing
* Corrupt middle group
* Corrupt right wing
* Corrupt independents

Yeah, I'm not bitter or resentful of politicians in this country, honest

Agreed. I'm not sure if renaming the stations would be something I'm interested in but more logical names would definitely be an improvement in my opinion. The user names would be better with just the research units (or some other possible extra machinery still to come).
