Re: Friday Facts #361 - Train stop limit, Tips and tricks

I think that use of the + and - keys to lay landfill and concrete/brick in larger or smaller patches per click and with click drag would be helpful in the tips. I still find myself telling players in multiplayer about this trick on a regular basis.

Re: Version 1.0.0

Re: Friday Facts #359 - Crash site: The beginning

Really cool drills! But they have a small issue that i found with their model/hitbox. As you can see in the picture if you put 2 drills diagonally of one another, it seems like that there is enough space to squeak through, but that is not the case. there is mod called squeak through that allows wal...

Re: Friday Facts #358 - Alien decoratives & Polluted water

postponing the factorio party seems like a good idea once our area started reopening, covid cases skyrocketed again, when more people associate in close proximity, the virus spreads. this new world will see everyone wearing a mask to help slow the spread, but some people are stubborn and wont wear o...

Re: Friday Facts #356 - Blueprint library for real

its good that you got to enjoy some time off and that bonding with your son re-inspired you to go back to work with renewed enthusiasm for work. don't feel bad about having taken some extra time off, the crew you have backing you up keep the work going and I'm sure you didn't just leave them hanging...

Re: Version 0.18.36

i have to agree the assembly machine 3 (yellow) is too loud compared to the rest of the entities in my base, the assembly machine 2 (blue) is also a tad loud, while assembly machine 1 (grey) is almost inaudible. suggest turning up the assembly 1 a slight bit, down assembly 2 a slight bit and turning...

Re: Friday Facts #355 - High resolution updates

imo if you push the date a bit you could probably use that time to make the assembly machine polish finishes you wanted, after all you wanted to bring 1.0 out before cyberpunk came out in September, but since it's been pushed back yet again, you could take that time back and get more work done, as y...

Re: Friday Facts #354 - Launch party and HR power switch

oh my doesn't the fff page look different now, prep for 1.0 and looking forward to it. since cyberpunk was delayed don't feel like the couple of weeks you decided to rush 1.0 can't be reclaimed, for that matter if you need another month, take it. as you liked to say, it's ready when it's ready. as f...

Re: Friday Facts #351 - Beacon re-redesign & Simplified fluid mixing

wow a flush button, i feel like this probably should have been in the game ages ago, so many pipes I've had to totally remove to fix one bad placement. at least the fluid mixing prevention has helped, but now i place buildings and cant select a recipe because of the fluid mixing prevention logic, th...

Re: Friday Facts #350 - Electric mining drill redesign

i am also on the bandwagon for longer drilling time, vs moving around, imo the drill before move should be at least 5x the animation time it takes to move to the new location, but also on the point where i was used to the old design harvesting the ground with it's back and forth motion with the circ...

Re: Version 0.18.30

factorio.com updater is usually updated first because the devs control their own website, pushing it to steam then becomes a steam release update and is done on steam's schedule, sometimes a wait of 2 hours is not out of the ordinary. as for wanting to be one of the first to update, the experimental...
