Re: Tried to pick up a full chest...

Hahaha..love it!

We've probably all been there. I myself had this mishap with stone bricks in a steel chest.

What a goddam mess! :D

Re: Off-Topic discussions about Pro and Contra DRM plus meta

what kind of blind person buys an indie game like factorio, the first of its kind, without trying it first? Without piracy, alot of us wouldn't have even bothered with this because it is so radical in gameplay mechanics and new in it's concept. Don't get me wrong, these are the things I LOVE abot f...

Re: Pirating as a 'demo'. Your opinions?

Of course its not right! Plus buying a higher package doesn't make up for it. As you say there was already a demo which the devs went to the effort to make which most devs don't do anymore, yet you still pirate it.... I'm probably in the minority of thinking piracy is wrong these days. Just my opini...

Re: Trains vs conveyors?

I think everyone has stated most the reasons why trains are better than conveyors in certain situations so I won't repeat them. What I will say though is I'm a huge supporter of the train system & definitely hope it's developed more so I can build even more elaborate systems than I do now. I eve...

Re: Modules in Pumpjacks

6 oil spots is probably enough to keep yourself in oil for at least 20hours play. Just don't build all the jack at the same time or make sure you have a crap tonne of storage tanks ready as it pumps fast! In my current world, I've got a similar amount(maybe one more) & it lasted me for 30hours b...

Re: Solar panels?

Thanks for the link. Pretty cool design & some interesting reading.

I have some concerns regarding the design + the final cost of one of these things.

However, I'll research more into this & will definitely keep my eye on it though as I'm a keen promoter of clean green energy :)

Re: Oil Processing designs?

I have the same problem as you OP. I have really good intentions to lay my oil processing out nice & neatly & it usually starts well. However, once I start having to make plastics/lubricant/processing my excess oils into other stuff, it usually ends up a messy maze of madness! :P I'll upload...

Re: Handling Gigantic Energy Peaks

Pretty cool system you have there. Not had the need for this much surge power myself as yet but it's definitely something to think about for the future. We may even get more circuitry/logistics options in the future or the option to auto-switch on & off and night/day time. That would be a nice a...

Re: Underground transit map

An increase in the length of underground conveyor tunnel could be good. Maybe up to 9-10blocks(similar to the piping tunnel for oil) so that we can pass under a factory a few conveyor lines but I don't see the need for an extended fully underground system. In fact, it would probably make the game t...

Re: Large worms

The biggest annoyance with these bloody big worms for me is not killing them, it's the fact you get no reward of alien artifact goodies when they are dead. I'm right at the end of the tech tree and am having to go through more nests than I would care to admit to get the required artifacts for all th...
