I would like if the devs make a final statement in regards to this issue and then close all topics relating the pick axe. Arguments are now being merely regurgitated over and over again with neither side understanding the other. Sadly, they have. You say otherwise here, but I believe free speech an...

You quoted the wrong person. Stop messing everything up

I edited to make it correct. Sorry, I'm not sure how that happened

Further story updates have been canceled permanently. until further notice, it being up to Wube itself whether they want to turn their act around and start being the best developer in the world again. While events have developed to the point where I stopped promoting the game outside these forums o...

Blue science already has 2 out of 3 ingredients for trains. Why not make it 3/3 by adding rails? What the PUFF ?? popuff.png The other two ingredients aren't that specific to trains, especially engine (almost always first thing I make with engines is the car.) The other side, of course, is the them...

Guys, seriously? Half of you wanted fluid teleportation.

If we could get away with it: YES!

You know what this reminds me of?

...remember Factorio is a journey, not a destination.

Well said!
You hit the mark right in the middle

Why care? Because sim fans and greater sense of progression.

Columba's main computer has suffered another glitch. Pewryn should have it back in a few minutes.

[Koub] Topic merged into the 0.17 Hype topic

Confusing thing to do. When I saw this come up, I thought it was a garden variety necropost kinda like this one ...wait, um... this one.

I started a game with a mod that includes the proposed science changes, and I am about 70% of the way to a rocket launch. Here are my additional comments. 1. Chemical Science is now harder due to having two products that use crude oil as a raw resource. I'm not sure that was the desired effect. It ...

But that last did jog my memory on the old discussion about hardness and mining power being removed. Which is a detail worth noting about the simple formula I ran here. The 0.16 formula for mining is (Mining power - Mining hardness) * Mining speed / Mining time = Production rate (in resource/sec). ...

So I've looked at this a wee bit more. What appears to be missing from the modding API is an event that fires before a player begins to mine an entity, firing on the initial attempt itself, that has the ability to flag a cancel/invalid state for the mining attempt. I don't know how the implementati...

I don't think it's a puzzle vs powerfantasy issue. I'm much more of a puzzle lover than a power-fantasy player (finally added Bobs Mods despite not being able to find much clear info about them, love them, I'm 100 hours in, don't have bots yet -- I'm so curious as to whether you've had a moment lik...

My player types are based on Bartle's which I've been aware of since WoW was new. There's videos about it. I'm not all that impressed by the Bartle classification- ...actually, I'm not impressed in the slightest. I'm also of the impression that a taxonomy is invalid when even Wikipedia sounds silly...

And I also don't know, if it would be a good thing, if the tank could outrange a big worm with the cannon.

That would motivate me to build the tank for sure.

I have found other bits worth responding to. I have NEVER seen a game embrace modding like how Factorio has. This I agree with, and until mid-November, I tended to plug Factorio as the greatest game ever, the one that will smash Minecraft. And then they started acting like Blizzard and Bethesda. Not...

What kind of players who have been with the game longest also do not matter. Well. This tidbit seems to be representative of the quality of the entire wall of text that I pulled it from, so it feels like I could just- I'm lazy, instead of spending ten seconds to repeat it, I'll spend a full minute ...

I'm speaking from almost complete ignorance of the api here, but couldn't the pickaxe be an armor module, and wouldn't that apply directly to the player state rather than run through an inventory check? You'd just have to start the player with a 1-2 slot armor with pickaxe already equipped into it,...

Ending your post with an insult to someone for something you could have ignored, also makes you look like an idiot. So... People who shout 'FACTS' like it's some sort of talisman that means God is on their side are, in fact, usually idiots. It's a useful insight into a common behavior, and the pers...
