Coal liquefaction is optional. I'll leave the rest of this thought process up to you.

Optional or not, many people will feel compelled to use the quality system by virtue of the fear of missing out. This whole debate is pitting one irrationality against another: The "excitement" of introducing a slot machine into a deterministic factory game vs. the frustration of dealing with so ...

The expansion absolutely is "vanilla". It is not a mod, or a custom game mode, but the big content update and overhaul that we have been expecting for years. If the sentiment behind devlopment is that it's not vanilla, then that is a monumental red-flag for me personally.


As kovarex posted ...

Still, please consider multiplayer interaction in light of the polarizing nature of this system. Making quality not just optional per-map but actually per-player (allowing each player to choose when to engage with it individually and also leave it behind as desired) in terms of UI would help a ...

People aren't really going to freak out and view quality as "contamination". They are overreacting. It isn't going to happen. Even in the worst case, it would be better to destroy one community than have developers pay the opportunity cost of supporting people who are that difficult, but again, I ...

Thinking about this some more I wonder if it would have been better received if it only affected a few items in the official game, with potential future additions via mods and the modding API.

Toward the end of this video they go through the bonuses per-entity and discount the benefit in so many ...

Perhaps not, but this was an early one!

Also, humongous cringe at the fact, that there are dev replies on reddit, but 0 dev replies on the forum.
I look forward to the next time corporate overlords/reddit mods decide to lock it down.


You could phrase this positively by wishing for more engagement on these forums and support for the ...

Kovarex had added kovarex process to every item in the game :( .


While this may promote mastery of recirculation by those who built a kovarex enrichment loop without fully considering the implications, I share your concern that it is basically the same thing on a larger scale in terms of the ...

In the next version after that, I am considering applying the fix to the "pick up items" action only, which should fix the first issue also and keep speed-runners happy, who only need this behavior for the "drop items" action, right?


To confirm, this change would mean that for my control ...

Bumping this thread as I had the same realization recently; avoiding a duplicate post.

tl;dr: Add --mod-list command line parameter to use a different .json file than the default mod-list.json!
Edit: And a --mod-settings parameter too...whoops!

The audio seems much improved in clarity, especially evident in a test save I created a long time ago with a Warptorio platform and huge attack waves against a dense turret array.

I noticed some oddities with massive numbers of explosions (chain-detonating explosive nests) being completely silent ...

Edit: I'd like to point out that I added this to an existing thread even though it wasn't the original here. :lol:


TL;DR
Add an option to view the inventory filters of storage chests in alt mode.


What ?
Chest inventories are currently displayed with a dark background. Filters could be ...

Is there no way to display an error message giving a hint of the issue, or is the line in the log detecting the overlay the extent of the clues to the cause?

Helping resolve this issue felt like pure luck--but of course it was dependent on that message in the log...

If the player is holding a blueprint library reference, then set_stack is used on the player's cursor, it takes on undefined state that requires pressing Q twice to clear.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Hold blueprint library blueprint in cursor
2. Run /c game.player.cursor_stack.set_stack{name = 'stone ...

I like the idea of player armor exoskeletons being able to augment the spidertron's movement, considering PLDs are not obstructed by riding a vehicle. In similar fashion, it would be nice if the spidertron could redirect its built-in reactor power to its grid when idle (not using energy by moving ...

this sound distortion


Something like this? 96343


Yes, thank you. The odd thing is that it happens both on an entirely different surface and surprisingly far away. But there are indeed flamethrowers on a surface near the origin coordinates (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/warptorio2 platform ...

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but I think there is a little sound error sometimes at certain times ...
You hear moments like a small audio distortion ... in previous versions it had nothing, but in this one I noticed it yesterday when I installed it.
The PC is not because I try some other ...
