I haven't run huge nuclear plant designs since years, but I remember it was a hassle because of the low throughput of pipes (had to run 4 sets of 8 parallel pipes IIRC, so 32 pipes. A lot of things have been announced about fluid, few made it to the core game. I'm curious if it's any better now (thr...

-Smart belt building OMG finally, thank you. Simple details like the old clumsy belt rotation is what put off new players. -Multithreaded belts I am curious about the desync problem. If I understand correctly, a specific setup (2 items arriving at the same time) could produce different results (whi...

TL;DR: I official request an advanced interface option "I know what i'm doing, just let me flip everything." option that just 180° rotates fluid-assemblers, pipes, etc and disables the smartness. (I thought the prevent-fluid-mixing saga told us a thing about smartness.) Yeah that would be...

Very interesting video.

@OP, if you only reached green science, you haven't seen most of the game. There is no goal, the rocket is a lie (just kidding).

Thanks for the reply, I didn't know about the menu sprites. It's still great to be able to play Factorio on my notebook (Intel Pentium N4200), I would have never imagined possible to beat Krastorio on it. It really tells something about how well optimized the game is. I can't wait to enjoy the new H...

Quite often, Factorio.exe is executed just to change the mod config. Slowest computers can take up to a minute loading sprites. What if we could skip the loading of sprites? We would just need a button (disabled by default in the settings) or a shortcut.

Very good FFF, I just wanted to express my reserve about the home screen. The excitement when starting/loading the game from the home screen is all about hopping into the game (a bit like the inception movie?). If you jump from a in-game screen to another in-game screen, there is less "woah&quo...

Time to read FFF 001

Amazing 1.0 video! and the sneaky spidertron at the end... Trololololo :lol: I'm so happy that you managed to update the old trailer while keeping all the very emblematic elements (music, camera moves, trains...)! Thank you for the Friday Facts, thank you for releasing 1.0, and thank you for continu...

Hi, I encountered a bug with the mod Krastorio 2, V0.18, with my 1366x768 resolution monitor, using UI size of 100%. I cannot view my entire armor grid, it's a small rectangle few pixels high (I can still scroll through). Without the mod, the base game UI display 2 columns: one for "Armor"...

Those new visual effects are great! What would happen to alien decoratives after the player kills the nests/worms? Would it behave like any other decorative, like having a specific chance to be removed when placing concrete on it? green water would suggest that there is a lot of algae around. Accord...

I just ran into the same problem, I don't remember having this problem in 1.16...

I would suggest a simple fix that shouldn't break anything: Instead of reducing pipes hitbox, why not reduce only underground pipes hitbox?

I love this new blueprint library, but I just have few comments: -I though that "Select new content" for a blueprint was to add new content, not to replace current content by new content. -I tried to press C to cancel it... But this is not a cancel button... I suggest: -Rename the "Se...

Very excited about the blueprint grid. Mirroring blueprint would be great. I often have to open my browser and go to this specific third party tool to mirror my blueprint, having it ingame (Ctrl-C, Ctrl-M) would be easier. But if I remember correctly, this suggestion has been rejected in the past be...

Hype for a new updated trailer! The current trailer is amazing, even with old graphics. It looks row, mechanical. We can feel the brute force of logistic and automation. Do you plan to change it entirety? If it's too polished (like with too smooth camera moves, or map too big), it might not be as go...

You don't have to respawn the vegetation every tick. You could apply the calculation just once every "day", I think it would be barely noticeable.

Hi there, with the speed change of belts in [0.17+], blue belts move 45 items/sec now instead of 40 in [0.16]. This improved throughput creates the new challenge of supplying fully compressed belts of items. To creates new blueprints, I used a custom set of rules and objectives: • Production of full...

Could we have a clarification on the fluids mechanics in a further FFF? A lot of things were announced if previous FFF, and it seems that almost everything is cancelled. What is going to happens to fluids now that Dominik, the author of FFF#260 - New fluid system has left the team? About the Campaig...

Thanks for the water, trees, fixed color (+sliders), Inserter/belt performance, heat pipe performance, fluid pipe performance (even though I'm a bit confused about what is already updated, what will be updated soon/later/never) Can't wait to get in the game again! I also wanted to raise the issue of...

All of this looks very good to me. It helps with the feeling interacting with the terrain and entities. Although some previous comments makes a point, just remember that destruction doesn't happens often in an average game. All those new graphics, even if not perfect yet, looks good enough to me. In...
