Re: Expansion hype thread - Any updates on when/if there will be an expansion?

As a software developer myself, I've never seen software with a firm, no-compromise release date actually be good when it's released.

"It'll be ready when it's ready" simply produces better software...when it's ready.

Re: Easier deselection in Blueprint mode!!!

It's also possible to remove tiles or items by right-clicking in the Components...but that only works if you want to remove all of them, or none.

Re: [1.1.100] Updating will not work

A few questions for the devs: What exactly is this archive.zip and why is it so important to updating Factorio? I get the impression that it's just a collection of HTML pages or images or something. Why does updating fail without it? On my PC, the only way I can update right now is to download the w...

I'm having, not exactly the same problem, but similar:

This has happened with every version since 1.1.101. The only way I can update is to download the whole thing again and reinstall.

9 hours ahead, actually. Currently I'm writing this at 7:39am, and in Brisbane it's 16:39 (4:39pm). It's 9 hours later in Brisbane. We do Daylight Saving Time in Germany. Since we "spring forward" by setting our clocks an hour later, in that period your time would be 8 hours later. So duri...

Re: Is there a specific reason why wood is so useless?

I guess there isn't a real (automated) use for wood, because there isn't an automated way to acquire wood and wood isn't growing back. This precisely. The game is about automation, so why would the devs include a required ingredient whose acquisition can't be automated? As others have mentioned, th...

Re: One of my few UI complaints and inconsistency. My idea for a simple change.

But you don't have to have your most common items on 1, you would then have them on 2 or 4 depending on how many bars you use. The idea or point I was trying to make is the default layout feels backward when you look at the full list of taskbars in the background. If you completely removed the numb...

Re: One of my few UI complaints and inconsistency. My idea for a simple change.

The first thing is the taskbar; I think it should be defaulted to the reverse order than what it currently is when you start a new game. Right now they start with 1 at the top and increase as it goes down, Whereas I think 1 should be at the bottom and increase as it goes up I completely disagree. 1...

Re: construction manager ?

Not sure what your native language is, but you might consider writing in that language, and then using DeepL or Google Translate to render your post into English. That might be easier for us to understand.

Re: Automated train stations. How do I "store" my idle trains?

Not sure how much oil you can store at your stations, but if you can store multiples of 150,000, then you can put in an arithmetic combinator, divide your total oil by 150,000, and set the resulting value to your station's train limit, because it's one train load. So 150,000 would give you 1, 300,00...

It's true, though, the names are backwards. If this change is made, then a stack inserter should become the one that...stacks.

Re: Friday Facts #393 - Putting things on top of other things

I think the green belts should be a more vibrant green.

Currently they look rather washed-out, especially when compared with blue belts.

You've certainly hit on the best way to get people to take your concerns seriously, which is of course to insult them until they do as you say.

Re: Factorio does not launch

The next thing I would try is to download it directly from the Factorio.com web site (do you have a user name there?) and then try the standalone version. This would help you know whether it's a Factorio issue or a Factorio+Steam issue.

It's not a mobile issue. It happens on both the tablet and the phone when I'm sitting in my chair at home on Wi-Fi. The tablet doesn't have a SIM card anyway; it only has Wi-Fi. Also, I have a 500 Mbit connection, so it's hard to believe a sub-optimal internet connection would be the issue. Also, wh...
