Re: Rename certain terms to improve new user experience

I'd like to add 2 more to this list In Power "Satisfaction" should be "Power Demand" and "Production" should be "Power Supply" Since the bars total tell you how much is Demanded or Available to be supplied and the green bar tells you % of which is fulfilled(s...

Re: Factorio is not a game.

What an odd question to ask. Sandbox games are still games. :roll: I'll give you that, sandboxgames which don't involve any noteworthy progression and offer only a bare playground for your own imagination (like Banished for example) I have seen discussed to be closer to a virtual toy (like Lego) tha...

Re: Friday Facts #212 - The GUI update (Part 1)

I have always wondered what Factorio might look like with a more creative UI design. What I mean is all window frames are sterile gray bars while in most other games they use textures for frames which transport the game's theme and aesthetetics. For factorio this would probably mean an indication of...

Re: Personal robots prioritizing nearest first

Escaping: Unfortunately the bot system cannot tell the difference between you have deployed all your robots and they're working and you have no robots to deploy either way it's 0 available so you could be waiting forever cause you have only one or two bots total to do the work when the base system ...

Re: Personal robots prioritizing nearest first

Pretty long thread so no idea whether suggested before. Can personal robots please be prioritized even if they cannot finish a job all at once? Hate it when I deconstruct a blue print expecting to move it a bit down the bus and then construction bots come from the other end of my factory trying to s...

Roboport area size override

For the sake of compact factories and dealing with the pitfalls of robot AI it would be great to have an override setting similar to stack size but for roboports. How it works Roboports get the same override interface as inserters, but with 2 inputs instead of one. One for logistic network, the othe...

Re: What are the opinions on the current Turret Damage output?

Sounds like lasers need either buffing, or unique ability added to them beyond not using ammo, and a little extra range They absolutely don't. This is failing to see the wood for trees: Laser Turrets may try taking out whatever gets past that inferno, but you really need a lot of them to do any sig...

Re: Cannon shells kinda meh

I think the overall balance isn't that bad. Destroyer bots and distraction bots always have a place because you can use them in addition to everything else (unlike like different weapons, can only fire one weapon at a time). They also provide cover for your construction bots so you can repair on the...

Re: Cannon shells kinda meh

Doesn't sound like you guys have seen fully upgraded uranium ammo. It instantly melts through anything except behemoth biters without any firing delay. If area damage is what you need you're better off with the flamethrower, grenades or poison globes because those are much cheaper to produce and res...

Cannon shells kinda meh

Is it just me or do cannon shells (uranium or otherwise) not have nearly enough effective range to combete with just plain gun ammo (uranium or otherwise)? I mean their research is expensive as hell so you'd expect them to be strong. Yet, I can clear nest much fasters and easier by just sticking to ...

Re: Splitting up robotic networks

FYI, an additional logistic chest is expected with 0.16 : https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-203 This should allow you to create "local" storing areas delivered by robots that will also be able to provide via robots. That's really something I'm looking forward to but... there are more...

Add directional lights (static and/or dynamic)

I really love the day-night cycle in this game but without proper lighting options it is just wasted. I remember, way back in the ealiest versions of this game there was a mod which added directional lights (similar to car lights) and spot lamps which allowed you to illuminate over greater distances...

Re: Friday Facts #207 - Lua noise specification

Is there any chance we will get actual elevations in game? Even if it's just a binary system like in older RTS games, I think that would add a lot to the game. Of course, you probably want to save yourself the trouble of modeling railway bridges etc.. However, cosmetic variety can only achieve so mu...
