Is there a way to send resources to platforms that are in-between planets? E.g., if a platform runs out of fusion power cells, and becomes in-operable (and ceases all flight) then can that platform be saved? Maybe some mechanism for platform to platform resource transfer, so that you could send out ...

The only "realism" trade-off is that you don't need additional pumps for "really long" pipes. Well, "really long" pipe is a cornercase which can be processed separately. For example, you could limit the size of the segment, starting from the nearest source of fluid, an...

I am concerned about spoilage times restricting how you design your factory. Someone else said people will copy paste an optimized blueprint that minimizes time and I agree with that sentiment. I don't understand this sentiment! Spoilage is designed to restrict factory design on Gleba, and to incen...

I don't understand some of the negative takes. To me, these takes come across as highly pessimistic... un-grounded, and unhelpful. I don't like the new mechanic because all the products, including science packs themself, spoil and inherit spoilage, and that affecting final science level. 1. They lit...

Tiny feedback: the icon for the planet in the friday facts is missing the science pack, unlike the friday facts on the Vulcanus and Fulgora mechanics. https://cdn.factorio.com/assets/img/blog/fff-414-organic-impermanence-thumbnail.png , https://cdn.factorio.com/assets/img/blog/fff-399-thumbnail.png ...

Spoilage without refrigeration? Curious. Haven't the devs heard of salt, or one of the countless chemical preservatives/anti oxidants/inert gases/raw radiation that serve to stifle bacteria and organic decay? That would mean spoilage is just a problem with a straight forward solution, having item t...

Mechanics Feedback: 1. I love the spoilage mechanic. It feels unique, and will likely lead to interesting logistical challenges! V.cool! 2. I really like the harvest and replant dynamic 3. However, with the whole tree being harvested, only obtaining the fruit feels quite strange... why not add some ...

Nice planet! I can see why the art is still in progress: not making something generic takes a lot more work, and multi-colored fungal/undersea theme is definitely more ambitious, impressive, and distinct than a green jungle! I'd far rather have the right Factorio than a rushed Factorio! No worries i...

Only tangentially related: are the any plans to have modules interact with weapons? Given that now weapons on space-platforms are almost a kind of core resource building (in that one needs the weapons to break the asteroids and that the number of asteroids the platform can safely encounter is limite...

That's pretty cool! I like how impactful a single beacon can feel. I imagine it will feel especially great when one only has a few legendary modules (especially as legendary modules are so expensive!) It's interesting. Am I right that with mixed quality modules adding a beacon could actually decreas...

It could all be great. And overall, I'm super excited for so many changes. With that said, I'm not really convinced procedurally generated music makes sense... it seems maybe more like a passion project than something that adds to the overall experience of the game. Immediate Reaction: I would have ...

I really like the full orchestra! It is dramatic but in a good way. - The Space music is amazing. I really like it. - Big fan of the Vulcanus music. Dramatic, but I think that kind of classic-esk music can be dramatic while not being distracting. - The Fulgora theme is cool, but the current tracks a...

Sure, the asteroids will likely spawn in a linearly-increasing amount depending on your total speed. I assume... Double speed = double asteroids. If it would scale non-linearly it would be weird and create another "optimum" travel speed to be in, ontop of the optimum platform shape itself...

If you make the platform narrow and long you only trade the "attack surface" against the "time "factor"; Because if you make it narrow you cannot fit as many thrusters there, so the platform will be much slower; and then the chance of something slipping through like that hu...

This is so cool! I didn't expect to be so excited by this or the other sound FFs, but great sounds really add a lot! I also really like the improved space platform visuals: the clouds of dust moving, and the strong contrast between how much the dust moves, and how much the stars move. I think the st...

It would be cool if logistic requests for the player or spidertrons could be conditional on being inside logistic networks with certain names. With this feature the player could stock up on ammo automatically only if they are at the main base/ammo factory, without ever worrying about depleting ammo ...

I also think that RTS tool is a bizarre name (regardless of how many units the tool can instruct, tanks, etc...). One is not using the tool to play (or otherwise 'tool' upon) a Real Time Strategy game (RTS) so how is it an RTS tool? The tool is used to implement a Strategy, in Real Time. So it's a ...

I also think that RTS tool is a bizarre name (regardless of how many units the tool can instruct, tanks, etc...). One is not using the tool to play (or otherwise 'tool' upon) a Real Time Strategy game (RTS) so how is it an RTS tool? A generic name like, "Command Tool" would, i.m.o., be a l...

1. The belt reader seems a great feature, enabling easy access to more varied builds. 2. I also love the new queued rocket feature. Having continuous rocket launch feels like an achievement! 3. Pipe filters seem interesting. 4. The logistic network UI seems useful. One thing I value is having featur...

Modding is great. Slight push back though: high grade belt undergrounds make routing belt items pretty easy, i.m.o., and more broadly I'm excited to have to just use belts and think about limited space. Other points: - You can always copy someone else's blue prints / use a guide for the space statio...
