This is how an engine looks like, great!
Also nice Integration of the original design.

Wise decision not getting interfered by the CP2075 launch.
Also glad to hear, that fluid dynamics and GUI rewrite (presumably BP-Book) are only delayed.
1.0 is overdue, the project reached that state Long ago.

I would love to see new official content (be ist as expansion or whatever) for Factorio!

Fine changes overall, here is my two cent: Engine: probably disliked by most, the older style was more meaningful Reactor: I like the new icon, but maybe some upscaling could be investigated. Roboport: weird perspective, though recognisable. Most of the internediates will take time getting used to, ...

There was a helicopter mod : https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Helicopters. It hasn't been updated since some time, but you might get in tough with the author maybe.

Was and still is (re-iterated for 0.18)

Excellent idea. Chainging/ adding stations is associated with much tedious work of manually copy and pasting mostly the same conditions. Using bp for that is mostly useless.

It makes me sad that they are just polishing the game instead of adding new content and I cannot believe anybody actually asked for this. On they other hand Factorio is a great game I sunk 1,505 hours in and with mods it is still fun. Let's hope that just making it look nice boosts the sales and th...

those changes seem pretty nice. I'm excited to try them out. Especially liking the new night vision and landfill sounds. It doesn't look like the Blueprint Library will be getting an update before 1.0, currently making it a very low hanging fruit as far as the GUI is concerned. Wich would imply, tha...

I bet that "crafting machines" doesn't include the rocket silo.

Rocket parts aren‘t even an extractable thing.

Changes

• Crafting machines will now refund item ingredients when crafting is cancelled before finishing.

At least for centrifuges doing Kovarex this is somewhat useful in mid game.
Nice change for save nomenclature though.

Where is SPIDERTRON? This has been discussed some weeks back: I am trying to hype people up for disappointment so that when 1.0 is released, they can be pleasantly suprised they are not disappointed as much as they thought they would be. (But for real, Spidertron is not coming in 1.0 nor before) so...

Also: As an example shown here (Cave: Spoiler!)

I really like having a narrative in my games when there is a clear direction and goal. Removing the campaign still makes me sad :( I was thinking since you scrapped the campaign, maybe you can add random objective feature in freeplay levels? Find a ruined base, explore this part of map, etc. This w...

So... when will the "biters deconstruction planner" be ready? XD

I think, it‘s called MIRV.
A word of caution though, setting filters on this is quite broken.

Different types of Heat would generally be considered beeing temperature. Rather then using heat directly, recipes requiering heated fluids seems promising. Alternatively in future content updates even higher tierd production buildings (especially assemblers) for yet unimplemented recipes, requierin...

Waking around will also leave some subtle footprints in the ground, which helps connect the character to the terrain.

As if the footprint of your multi SPM factory isn’t enough.

Wouldn‘t visable footprints also imply visable vehicle tracks.
Like animated water and ...trees.

Right now the status of early access is doing more harm than good. It’s highly undeserving of the current state of development, considering how bad of a name EA got. Don‘t get me wrong, I‘m all for new content. If only looking at some of the mods made by the devs themself like construction drones or...

Because of this FFF I'm a little bit confused. I thought that biters can't cross water. But in the FFF water biters were mentioned and shown.
[...]

Water biters are part of a mod, you're safe

Although Vanilla shallow water would be quite a nice addition, creating interesting scenarios.

But I do know of guns working without casings! Most large caliber naval guns don't /didn't use casings, but worked by stuffing bags of cordite, nitrocellulose or similar behind the grenade. I actually thought that was how the arty turret was designed to work.. [...] That‘s not the case for more mod...

If I‘m looking at research and especially setting up a queue I want peace.
As for opt in, though quite nice, I suspect ist beeing a rather low priority.
For looking the tech tree up, there are good external websites example (although currently outdated)
