Re: Help - I can't find any oil on my map!

I managed to find an oil reserve, but it's surrounded by bad guys. I've tried using a few methods to clear out the bad guys, and have been roughly 50% successful clearing out the spawner nests. Unfortunately there are these giant worms that seem to have longer range than I do. Not sure I have what I...

Re: Help - I can't find any oil on my map!

thanks quyxkh!

Sounds like you're suggesting I venture out a bit farther and take on some enemies.

I've got piercing rounds being produced so I'll head out on an exploration.

Steam vs Direct purchase - is one better?

Hi,

I bought the game through steam, and when I sit at the load screen, Steam is running at 100% It also asks for inbound connections.

Had me wondering, is it better to play the direct download version vs the steam version?

Help - I can't find any oil on my map!

Hi there, I'm playing Factorio Vanilla .14.22 I've got a great map, but I can't find any oil! I'm looking for pink dots on the map view and there aren't any. My Radar has been running for a few hours and has scoped out a sizable area, maybe 10-20x the original spawn area is now on the map. there are...

Re: Friday Facts #187 - Space science & 0.15 graphics

One suggestion for the rocket/satellites that would add to game play: Have two satellite types: Explorer and Destroyer An explorer would provide radar type functionality, but over a far greater area (simplified, it could cover the whole map, more complex, you could deploy the satellite over a specif...

Re: Just bought the game; What were Your first impressions?

LOVED IT! I played a few campaigns. Stopped playing at new hope, where you have to build the plastic airplane. I was getting stuck there, so I figured I'd play in a sandbox on peaceful so that I didn't have to worry about enemies. Played Sandbox from start to ship launch - the first time is likely t...

"Finished" the singleplayer, what next?

Hi folks, I finished the single player (generated map on easy on v .13.20) , and really loved it! What do most of you do after you've sent that rocket into space? Are there more Campaigns that can be downloaded? One thing I found for myself, is I was expecting replayability to be high, but going thr...

Re: Thank you (Make the dev-team happy today!)

GOD YES, this game is FANTASTIC. If it helps the devs... 1) I am not a hardcore gamer. 2) I found out about the game from it's ratings on Steam in September 2016. 3) I watched the Trailer with the voice narration, and bought the game instantly, without trying the demo first. 4) I was a fan of this s...

Is this a bug or a feature? left click armor, drop inventory

Hi, I used the forum search and could not find this, my apologies if it's already been reported... in 0.13.20 if I left click on the armor in the bottom right, it drops a ton of my inventory on the ground. Not inventory that was associated with the armor, just inventory. I do it a fair amount by acc...
