The logistics are not too bad. I build a giant belt around my ENTIRE base, and attach an ammo factory to it. Bullets fill up the belt, which means the inserters are loading even while the guns are firing. I pretty much have the whole belt backed up with ammo all the time. :P I use laser turrets at ...

I think they were always meant to be minable but they never were very high on the devs to do list. Imho they shouldn't be minable since the start though, they should require some sort of tech. Nothing super complicated. Steel Axe for instance. And they should consume the item a lot and generate much...

My 2 cents... The release policy is somewhat secondary for me atm. Yeah it's annoying to have these big mod breaker releases. Yet this is an early access game so I don't feel entitled to be disappointed. I definitely would if this were a fully released game. As for the transparency, I feel there has...

Who knows? ;) I mean not, cause the story of Factorio is fixed to a man. But such things can change. Actually having a female character too would open to the possibility of additional character creation process. Once we figure out the right male female ratio we could build an efficient production l...

Nu station. It's actually a semaphore.

RobertTerwilliger wrote://Honestly, how often do you plan to switch weapons in your customizable turret?)))

It seems to me that a "biter combinator" is needed so that inserters can switch weapon module dynamically depending on the the immediate threat.

Actually that's precisely the reason why people started to fear them.

Why logistic railways dependancy?

You know that by continuously updating these threads we're just derping each other right?

I'm not arguing that the cannon is good late game. I'm arguing that the cannon is not worse than machinegun vs bitera. Both are very bad vs behemoths and infact I said that an advanced tank is much needed.

The Tank cannon deals like 1/3rd the damage of the machine gun with fully upgrades, so whenever I get the bullet upgrades I don't even bother with the cannon, while the longer range is nice, the fact you get so much more DPS out of the machine gun makes it much more attractive to actually use. The ...

Imho the current tank is pretty good for the time in the game when is researched. I hope that one remains as it is. What is needed is a mk2 tank for late game. The main things a late game needs are more resistances and some factor increase on weapons damage (probably, 100% increase like for gun turr...

Imho you're all right, there are several use cases now for gun turrets and add energy consumption would necessarily leave some of those cases uncovered. Solution? Moar turrets! Gun turret: like the current one but requires fuel. Advanced gun turret: more health (at least like laser), slightly more r...

Lol. Wanted to write the same thing. I tried yesterday a game with rare resource deposits with poor richness. The idea was to have a game where I really have to use trains since usually with normal options I just end up creating a big big perimeter around my spawning point and run "internal tra...

Also, I was thinking... the deconstruction planner itself is super cheap since it is infinitely reusable. I wonder if it might be better to have it stackable and partially use up just like the repair packs. Maybe have them capable of marking 500 objects for deconstruction before they are used up, a...

Pollution factor can decrease? I thought it was monotone.

I believe the probability theory works a bit differently

Well... in their comments they were somehow implying that their hypothesis were mutually exclusive.

No. It will not be on a friday. 50% chance of information about the release date maybe.
