What would be the benefit for Vanilla , exactly?


The benefit would be to allow for more interesting designs where the same pipe can be used to carry multiple different fluids at different times.

Perhaps you want to hook your flamethrower turrets up to light oil by default, but you don't ...

What would be the benefit for Vanilla , exactly?

The relevant edge cases where mixing prevention is limiting are, with the flush feature, taken care off.


I hope you do realize your statement makes no sense in a game like Factorio. That's not because you can't imagine a limitation it does ...

This new iteration should improve beaconed factories significantly.
The recent trend to integrate alt-mode or bottleneck information into vanilla is hopefully continued into the Assembler redesign.

Those new mining drills look and Sound pretty nice. Pluses for the LED.
I‘m looking forward how a cramped or fully beaconed setup will look like.
If any animation is missing, then a more visual degredation of the mined ore patch/tile. For example by using a modified explosion crater texture. This ...

No, source FFF331

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Rocket parts aren‘t even an extractable thing.

• 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 ...

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 ...

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.
