Re: Friday Facts #243 - New GUI tileset

Hover and Press color could be more distinct.

Shouldn't the crafting button need small numbers too, for the amount of items producible with the backpack contents?

Easiest would be to delete all non names. Easiest would be to delete the game. What is your point again? :D Are you dumb? This topic is about removing offense backer names. Go sleep again.

Re: Friday Facts #241 - New player experience

Just want to say thank you to all the players who provided station names. The diversity and idiosyncrasy of these names has somehow personalized the games I played. And given the stations an immersion bonus. Might just be me, though :D

Re: Price increase today?! I can't believe my luck :(

I understand the game is worth that, but boy, how can my luck be so bad? I just made this post so I had some friends to cry with. Cry with me please? Your sad story was tearing me apart. I cried and cried, went to the piano and played a very sentimental song. Then shredded the piano in frustration....

Re: Price change

One also shouldn't underestimate the "long tail". A game that stays relevant (for example with mods and small updates, graphics refresh...) for a long time generates a constant stream of income that helps fund a game company. This is why Bethesda (who really isn't into giving out presents)...

Re: Price change

There are a lot of ideas of massive added value for Factorio in updated versions. Further worlds in which users may find themselves under water or on other planets without oxygen e.g. the possibilities are endless. Yeah, and by making an extension or a Factorio 2.0 there are completely acceptable s...

Re: Friday Facts #236 - Building a rollup

Ooops, right, there already is a demo! Forgot that completely. So I'll adjust my advise: Advertise the fact that it was the best-rated game on steam for x months and at game fairs distribute CDs (or usb-sticks) with the demo game to anyone who looks interested

Re: Friday Facts #236 - Building a rollup

I think it would be impossible to entice me with a picture. Only hands-on game play could ever convince me. Actually what convinced me to try out Factorio was that it was the game with the best user rating on steam and I just wanted to find out if that rating was deserved. I got actually hooked only...

Re: Friday Facts #231 - Belt compression & Crash log uploa

I own windows 10 and factorio, I hate it that windows 10 has mandatory tracking, because I don't trust microsoft. It's not mandatory, you just didn't bother to look into your available options to turn it off. Options have always existed to disable telemetry since WinXP and haven't gotten any harder...

Re: Friday Facts #227 - Rendering, Trees & Scenario talk

Also keep in mind that Bethesda took Notch to court for writing a game named "Scrolls", because it contained part of their trade name "the Elder Scrolls". I don't remember the results. That was a trademark case. Trademark is a bit like copyright but it works even with single wor...

Re: Friday Facts #225 - Bots versus belts (part 2)

We got one FFF hinting they wished they hadn't made bots so strong, quite different from nerfing, the second FFF was focused more on buffing belts than nerfing bots. They even went through examples on how they had considered doing this. The second FFF literally said in the conclusion that they thin...

Re: Friday Facts #225 - Bots versus belts (part 2)

Why are you rushing to 1.0 so much anyway? There is so much that could still be added to the game, but proposed bot nerf is like cutting corners in hardcore mode. Probably Factorio is a game where the conrete has dryed on 99% of the game and all they can do is add less and less useful stuff, optimi...
