Re: Friday Facts #169 - Combat revisit 2
Honestly I disagree with people saying that currently is hard to clear nests before end game techs and they need turret creeping. I used to think that way as well but then I tried not to use it. With defender capsules, a 3-4 robot follower tech, machine gun oand heavy armor one can easily clear nest...

Re: Friday Facts #168 - Nightvision Nightmare
I don't understand all this hate toward night vision.
Night exists and this is a fact. Nightvision is there to help, not delete day-night cycle. If one doesn't like night he should mod it out or mod in an artificial sun recipee.

Re: Friday Facts #167 - Reactors Operational
Can't wait.
I will ask a friend of mine to come with me on the mountains and get me buried under an avalanche of snow so I can be hibernated. Then he will come back when 0.15 is out and unfroze me.

Re: Friday Facts #166 - Combat Revisit
If you don't, you have to put a single roboport there and a crate with supplies. And then have to check on it occasionally or massively oversupply. This is kinda unfun and really not in the spirit of the game regarding automation. There are solutions to problems like these if you look deeper: https...

Re: Friday Facts #166 - Combat Revisit
It's the insane rate of fire and the instant damage effect that makes gun turrets much more effective than lasers once fully upgraded (including the piercing bullet upgrades ofc). The low hp and the logistic challenge posed by bullet supply though usually push "lazy" players toward lasers....

Re: Friday Facts #166 - Combat Revisit
Also, guns are really bad against behemoths, so I don't think they actually do (much) more dps than lasers after resistance is taken into account. Behemoths have 8+20% physical resistance, but no laser resistance... Yeah... they do just 4 times the damage of laser turrets at max upgrades :roll: Per...

Re: Friday Facts #166 - Combat Revisit
Non-minable entities is a poor direction for Factorio to take I didn't write that because I want it in game. My opinion is that Turret Creep has to be removed because it is the problem (use cheap defensive stuff to replace expensive offense stuff). Remove that and you have no more issues. I just sa...

Re: Friday Facts #166 - Combat Revisit
The way I see it, turret creep isn't the problem, it's the symptom: the least tedious way to deal with a tedious task (at least until you get destroyer bots - then it's still boring though). Take the tediousness out of combat and turret creep isn't considered a necessity anymore. I say that Turret ...

Nerf turret creeping Yes please. This should never have been a thing it just makes all other weapons in the game useless. Generally make the mid-game combat better Combat should be better pretty much all game long. Then I dunno what you mean with mid game. Imho mid game the most obvious this to fix...

I hope the meltdown explosion is big.

Re: Friday Facts #159 - Research revolution
Dunno. I approve the science rework overall. But I also feel that the alien artifacts (although unbalanced) were going into the right direction: forcing the player to research and build offensive weapons. If I had to design this I would make alien artifact a rare item that is only spawned by special...

Re: Inserter with stack bonus stuck holding an extra item.
Shit. I thought that with 0.13 and stack inserters this problem was gone. But for some reason they made the research bonus apply to all inserters not just the stack ones. Please either add the disable stack button or just get rid of the stack bonus for normal inserters that don't actually need it. I...

Re: Version 0.14.2
So it's true: if you run a multiplayer game with at least one irish player on Factorio 0.14 4 Mac, all the other european players playing on mac pay only 0.005% of the total cost of recipes, fuel and electricity.
I find this design choice very questionable guys.
