As far as I'm concerned, posting the trailer to satisfactory is as good as an endorsement (aside from the words spoken, which clearly were). IMHO, this is the mark of a true pro. Factorio being superseded by Satisfactory isn't realistic, they're still substantially different game-play styles. Having...

I know this is a old post and such... but I started a game with Angels (having played with just Bob's before), and ended up digging around the forums trying to figure out why all of the ores had gibberish names (I didn't see the merit/value of this, until I saw some recipes, that make it look like 4...

edit: ah, yes, happy new gear to all

I think that'd be overkill.

The whole point of the tuning changes was because the fluid wagons were OP, or rather just too damn big. It's still quite large after all.

I don't think trains should run "over" aliens. Instead they should be able to shove them off to the side. There should still be some damage, on both sides, but less damage and less loss of momentum. So a train should be able to cut through a few behemoth bitters but not kill them. And if ...

Mods in Factorio have come a LONG way. The mod page is great, but what's not great, is the fact none of the text is select-able when looking at a mods details in the mod menu (IE: name, description, status, enabled, etc.). You should be able to select that block of text, copy/paste/etc. But the real...

Avoid narrow passages. For example: A train track that runs though a forest will be used by biters as a walking trail. Nevertheless I second this proposal. Please let trains kill or move aside everything in their way I spent a bunch of time making a smart train loading/unloading outpost BP (with he...

Yeah, that's the exact style I was using, the one that deadlocks :D. It'll deadlock if the train tries to switch stations (in the opposite direction say) while in the round-about, trying to do a 270 degree (or more) turn. Even with chain signals, it'll deadlock on its own last car (even if there's ...

I tried to recreate the roundabout you spoke of. Most people don't put signals inside the roundabout, but in this case putting chain signals should help. For example for 2 trains coming from the same direction, 1st wants to turn left and the other turns right. The 2nd train will already enter the r...

I mean what would your wait condition be on the train side? I think the idea is that it would sit at it's last station, waiting for a destination to become available. I've had some issues implementing my version of how I understand this, however. That's why my method has a dedicated wait station/qu...

To follow-up, for anybody reading out there, I made a few tweaks. Latest station (4 car train, because 2 car train was making *way* too much traffic on the network once you had a few dozen trains running, short turns, etc). Station: 0eNrlXU1v20gS/S88Lqws+7vb2F0gc9vrTG6LwJAlxiZWX6CoYIPA/31JyrIlktV61X...

@porcupine Can you post me a screenshot or give me the blueprint string of your roundabout (or both)? I might be able to help so that they will no longer deadlock themselves every X minutes. Thanks for the offer. I already nuked the BP on the roundabout though. It was the smallest possible round-ab...

While I would avoid roundabouts in general you may fix or drastically lessen your problem by adding chain signals at the NE, SE, SW, NW positions of the junction...Still I would go away from them as a whole. Playing a game now, where I've had all the iron/copper mines named the same, and written a ...

3) Single quantities of fuel can't be loaded into the reactor (since the number of fuel elements in the reactor cannot be sensed) I'd say you're wrong there. Since the reactors have a very specific/consistent burn rate on fuel (and you know when accumulators are in their charge cycle), I'd say you ...

To quote myself from another thread: [...] [/quote] I for one welcome our new robot overlo... oh wait, no. I for one appreciate this explanation (I hadn't seen the other thread). The questions here were turning ugly, and for me it was more a curiosity question (the earlier fix to the zoom level, to...

I'm loving this, and I think as soon as people see how the change hits, they'll absorb, and enjoy it right away. Being able to drop ghosts of stuff that isn't in your inventory would be very useful, as that's always been a nuisance (maybe it's in your logistics network, but you just ran out, and now...

Well we don't accidentally commit code...

Can you at least let us know why it's been done this way?

What's driving this change, since obviously it's not being driven by user/public feedback.

Zooming with the mousewheel in the map and zoom-to-world is less aggresive. I feel like this did not changed the initial problem of having a wider view without the map than in map. Ref: Wierd Map View The zoom-to-world view distance is not as wide as the player max view distance. Its about 80%~ of ...

The zoom level at which the map switches from 'map view' to 'world view' was increased. Please revert this or at least make it configurable (or maybe a research?). After this change it is now possible to see more of the 'world view' while not in the map... I really loved the idea of placing bigger ...
