So. I am looking at the spaceships and realized they could be done slightly more aesthetically pleasing if this (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Powered_Entities) was integrated into the mod and removed the need for power poles.

Important question: Are the planets map size limited?

Next version (uploaded later today): added a simulated burner lamp, the "copper lantern", for all your stone age fumbling-in-the-darkness needs.

Available from game start, no research required. Made out of copper, hence the name. "Burns" chemical solid fuel ...

Will we get Loaders in Freeplay? Have Loaders only work with filling up/emptying chest-types (wagons and chests). Everything else would need inserters.

Biters getting stuck on belts

The strategy to put belts in the path of bitters to upgrade defense is a nice piece of emergent gameplay, but we noticed, that it tends to be little bit too strong. It was discovered, that biters have a small bug in their code, that affects their movement by belts ...

That optimalizations, I hope that 0.17 will fix that bug what I have on Mac OS (Macbook Pro 15" 2015).
When I am in game, and I'll show a map (M), and I'll look to the area covered by radars, and that area has a lot of walls, my FPS will drop from 60 FPS to 20 FPS.
Do you have turrets by those ...

Thanks for the new toggles! The toolbar will be an awesome addition.

Please make the personal roboport a 3-way toggle. On/off/self-only.
With self-only in multiplayer, inventory won't empty/fill when walking by something done by another player.
One thing to consider is should self-only still ...

So.

It is February.

You said that in February we would get the date for 0.17.

So when can we expect 0.17? Please?

Transport belts have also seen a buff from 13.33 Items per second per tier to 15 in the base game, so my belt speed overhaul to set things to 10 per tier with an extra tier doesn't make much sense, so I set the "IPS per tier" to be configurable, default value will be 12.5, but you can set it to ...

So, oil burners is not more ecological?


It's more of opening up options to the player. don't forget that I also wrote into the game emissions multipliers. different fuels will pollute more than others. If you burn Hydrogen for example, it produces very little pollution.


Burning ...

Ah! Someone inspired by Nilaus' own Angel/Bob base series?

So I gather that the Tech that needs to be researched for the bigger Quickbar got nuked too?

As the smelting recipe change, I am proposing the following:
- Iron plate, copper plate, stone brick: 3.2
- Steel: 16

That would mean exactly 48 stone furnaces per yellow belt, which is the number that people already build, but some of the last ones flicker with inactivity in 0.16, now all of ...

So years ago if I get it right?

It would be great if you just set everything in the base game to 100% efficiency, and omitted the info from the tooltip if it's 100%. So anyone playing vanilla would not see the info at all, but if a mod adds something with, say, 70% efficiency, or 120% efficiency, it would show up as part of ...

The save file is more than a quarter decoratives? Most games don't even save those, just re-generate them on load, or when you re-enter an unloaded area. I don't see why you can't do the same. Is there any reason these need to remain perfectly in sync?

My biggest save is less than 40 MiB on ...

Uh oh. Guys? Factorio planet already has an in-game file. It was found by modders who looked at the game code. The planet is called Nauvis which literally means 'New'.

It seems a bit odd to then meet the criticism with being defensive ("Well, if we can't change anything any more we could just ship it now")
I was specificaly responding to Ferlonas saying (I am paraphrazing) "Bob and Angel will have to modify their mods because of your change, so it's a bad ...

Thanks, guys, and gals for all the fun I had while it lasted! I am moving over to Satisfactory once it comes out.

Those changes proposed in the FFF seem like they either will require the game engine to be effectively forked/code butchery by modders/mod butchery


There's a simple answer to that: mods can't do that. So they're forced to just not use pickaxes in any way because they no longer exist in the ...
