This was a very interesting read!

Every week I come back and every week I'm amazed how you keep making your game better and better. This is some awesome GUI updates, keep up the good work!

I loved the changes. Some of those changes were already being introduced by mods (the name convention), and simplifying the military science is a must, since, even for me, an experienced player, got frustrated on the damage bonus on combat robots (I always had to use the Bonuses tab to actually unde...

4 years later and I still come back every week to read you. I never miss an update!

Honestly the new Substation looks a bit of a drawing. I personally don't like, although I will get used to it. Not to mention it looks like a Big Electric Pole

Interactive tags seems like a great thing for Mods to further evolve. I'm sure map ping art is not final, right? And construction bots building 3 inserters? Huuuuummm, that actually changes a lot, and kinda makes sense. But what would happen if their cargo capacity is 20 and you place like 20 insert...

I think that the naming inconsistencies are so hard on this game that even the color standards. Belts vs Inserters is an old issues science packs having no proper naming and assembling machines with different colors as well. For instances, burner Inserters and burner miners are black. Black assembli...

I really think you are great developers by thinking about the NPE so much, and I think you guys are right about it. A lot of the players that are more "hardcore" are already playing the game, and you've already got a lot of more "casual" players, and this all aims on making a bet...

Please, whatever you do, allow SEARCH

My opinion is that all of those solutions doesn't solve all the problems. Lemme give some considerations first: First, I think that any kind of limitation in the amount of blueprints we currently have is not nice. I and many other players I know have several hundreds blueprints across more than 30 b...

Since we are at the discussion of GUI, I must remember that when anyone slides a slider all the way to the left, if there's no indication, one would assume that it would disable that specific setting, which is clearly not the case here.

I certainly think that science packs need to be rethink, but don't know what is the best solution. But I think this:

Whatever you do, please make construction robots available ASAP.

Keep in mind that at the end, we will go through the list and delete anything obscene or offensive, plus anything we find inappropriate, at our own discretion. Could you move to a list of blocked and let them change one last time? Some people may not be able to change in time, due to IRL stuff (wor...

Early-Access development is different. You have a community helping you but you also have to keep it happy. Wube seems, compared to other EA companies, especially intent on keeping the community happy but that hinders them to change already established features or violate backwards compatibility. A...

The main thing about Factorio is that there are two separated games: - Modded games with lots of items - Vanilla like game What many of the older players have tried or started playing is a playthrough with many additional items. Once you go into a game that's heavily modded, things are exponentially...

I say a couple of things about bots vs belts: - Factorio is just too complex for Logistics Bots not exist. It becomes tiresome later on the game needing tons and tons of long belts for higher throughput. - Mods like Bob's mods adds TONS of items and recipes. Belts becomes INSANELY hard to build a bi...

Massive Desyncs after upgrading... On my community map we are playing a bit Bob/Angel/LTN map, which is heavily reliant on LTN. Today it has caused endless desyncs for us, which is a shame since this is a server run for 80 hours with many players contributing to it. I am now wondering if this is ca...

Is it possible to make a Round Robin dropoff station? Let's say I have 3 stations: - 1 station named A to pickup Iron plates - 2 stations named B to dropoff Iron plates Now, let's pretend that the B that's closest to A is consuming all the plate it receives, so it never backlogs. I need the trains t...

IMO the overall look and feel from Factorio UI is just unpleasant. Besides that, CONSISTENCY is a must in game UI. You are proposing increasing the consistency of the game, so I LOVE your ideas Twinsen. But please do: F1- Crafting, F2-Logistics and F3- Character. 95% of the time is in the crafting m...

Thanks for the report, I didn't think of this one :) The solution is a simple one. This recipe was just removed from those that can be used with the productivity modules. Fixed for 0.15.2 To be honest, I don't think that's a good solution at all. I think this should be addressed in some other angle.
