I lurk on the Crusader Kings forums that have this functionality and I really like how it works. It's not only pointing out the things the community agrees, but also to what community disagrees. You also have to learn a little how to read it - as you say, the number of votes the first few posts get ...

Factorio is still an early access game. It's in development. Things should change and many even break as often stuff can only change and improve by breaking others. In my opinion we can't rely on backwards compatibility and retention of etablished configurations as this holds back the overall devel...

You have your game and I have mine. If you don't want it in yours, I'm fine with that. Why can't you be fine with me wanting it in mine? What made you think I have a problem with your game? I have a problem with the pick ax and I am happy it will be gone. That's it. When it comes to a debate - if i...

My point is that having both in the same game really adds a lot of flavor and meaning to Factorio. Really? If not for the fact, that pick ax gets used and you have to craft a new one, I would never notice it exist in the first place. Good choice by the devs to remove it and even greater choice to s...

Wube - good call removing the pick ax - Thanks!

I just hope you finished reading the OP. It's a pretty good read!

Yes, I did. Making the point sentimental doesn't change my mind.

So, let's apply them to the pickax (item) vs pickax (research) How does it improve player experience? Hmm....I honestly can't really say that it does. It's the same thing, except that you have to manually craft the item after researching it. It adds an extra step. But why? If there's no durability,...

I'm cautiously optimistic about all these changes. I add to the voices that Chemical Science (formerly known as blue) takes too much time. Compared to others tier above, it gives one less beaker for roughly the same time. This means I will need 50% more assemblers for this particular science pack ty...

Biter campaign confirmed!

My point is - fixing that is very simple (add more pipes), so every time you will end up with pipes 100% full and all outputs satisfied. You could say the same about the belt network. If a single belt can't deliver enough upgrade it or add a parallel belt, i.e. use resources or space for more throu...

But fluid input > output should ideally not be enough to ensure all outputs are filled. And as bad as the current system is, it does that right at least. This is not the point. You are right - putting more in than you need is not enough to ensure satisfaction at the output. My point is - fixing tha...

I still don't get, what is the benefit of a more realistic model for pipes. It seems that it drains a lot of resources for something that will be noticeable only, if it doesn't work... In the end, everybody will build systems, that will resemble electrical circuits - fluid input >= output, so the pi...

I'm reading these suggestions and I find this all way too complicated. How about something REALLY simple: 1. Treat all connected pipes like a single storage tank. 2. Each pipe adds to total volume. 3. Measure two parameters of a single system - total volume and fill ratio (% of how much of it is ful...

Nice!

Do I understand correctly that it would be a stretch to expect 0.17 this year?

Game about automation and you can't automate something as basic as research? INSANE!

The only thing that annoys me today with the blueprints is that they take item slots. Anything else I can learn to live with.

One oversight and so many trains destroyed...

Did someone tally up how many trains overall have been destroyed?

Or make him follow the player. When you click on him, it pops out a window leading to production statistics and other infocharts.

I might start to believe in automated crash reports...
