I guess it will be too humorous to keep with current mood of the game, but the whole idea is fun anyway :) I wish somebody implements a mod where every inserter is replaced with a catapult :) Yea, they would make a great mod. If I new anything about graphics design, or modding this game, I would do...

Thanks Orzelek!

Catapults...thats all I'm sayin'... Ok, that not all I'm saying. I think they would be fun, and could use a similar mechanic to underground pipes/conveyors. A catapult and a net. The distances would, of course, be greater to be of any real use. Could be used to "transport" items over long(...

That's not me. That's this thread https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7977 It's magic. Ha! Your right! That is what I was thinking...although catapults would be funny and fun. With like a net to catch stuff. :D Marathon does that, via expaning copper volume. I'm not sure I understan...

One possible way to make games different is to encourage sub-factory style instead of bus style. This can be done by increasing terrain and water segmentation, so you don't have big chunks of land anywhere. But that will also hinder possibility to put rails, so I guess it's not an option either unt...

Good idea, if it can be implemented in such as way as to be useful.

Once discovered, the entire deposit should become visible. (Finding said deposit could require a lot of drills for sure, but anybody wanting to place 100 mines to find the outlines of a small patch of ore...is masochistic. )

To start, let me say, I've never liked the fighting aspect of this game..or the avatar for that matter. I agree fully with what Ghoulish said: But it has to been mentioned that some people may not find it appealing to have more combat in Factorio, a point raised already in this thread. And I have to...

I'm not a fan of the Role playing aspect of this game. Your avatar (and the Biters), are nothing more than a time-sink(Look it up), and thus detract from a very enjoyable experience of using your brain to come up with ideas and better ways of doing things. Much more could be done to develop what is ...

*Just my opinions: Please don't make this game any more RTS. Its an automation game, not a FPS. I'm not even a fan of the bitters, as I think they just distract from the game. Small rant here ---> The Bitters and thereby your avatar, are a nuisance and add more aggravation to a game that is very enj...

I like the way you are going with this but there has to be some boundries... For example when you say things like copper can be made out of wood it is just getting redicukless. it hase to be more ore less realistic Thanks for the feedback, Stylistic_sagi! First of all, no one is being forced to use...

Mod-wise, I think it would be pretty easy to make randomly generated Recipes. The hard part is making it the same between saved games. It would get a new set each time you restarted the game... With that in Mind, you could have a seed value in the config, which you have to make sure it matches the ...

You may set personal goal of setting up steady factory to launch 10 rockets in a row without delays in production :) There is rocket counter and it requires pretty much of everything if I understand correctly what's a "supply request" Thanks for the reply Harkonnen(I love the nick btw); I...

Hmmm. Pure random never guarantees a good game. How about mods instead? :) "Good" or "Bad" games is very subjective, but "Different" is something I think we could all agree on. :) Mods are quite possible...should someone be inclined to put in the effort to create such ...

*Try searching for those two words... So I've been reading alot of the developmental direction post and I see a lot of RTS, and RPG, so I'm not sure how this fits but; How about changing(or constant) supply request every now and again from the "Homeworld"? Perhaps they could be constant an...

So I was wracking my brain trying to figure out how to make this game less repetitive. IE:Build smelter stacks..build main buss...expand...ad-nausim. I realized eventually, that a randomization of the basic recipes of the game could add real flavor to each new game. There could be an option to rando...

I think you have some very good ideas there! It looks as though some have already been implemented or modded already.

I had thoughts along this line...More of a Steam-Punk version. Where you COULD make everything coal fired OR, you could make everything run on steam. You could build steam manifolds and piping and such. It would cut down a bit on the coal belts, but would of course increase steam piping.

Thank You, Modymo! The other Long-reach has been aggravating the bageesus out of me!

Love this mod idea, although I haven't had a chance to use it yet. *Still learning to play vanilla mainly.

For those with the smaller icon sizes; You might want to change the GUI interface size under options. I hope that helps.

I would love to try this mod (Don't really care about Bitters).

I have a few questions:

What do you do with all the excess wood?
Do you store it?
Burn it? (Wouldn't you need a product being produced to burn all that wood?)
