The problem is for the newbie that he must find the tutorial first - and that's for a newcomer not easy to be found and sorrily not presented at the first start with a question: "do you want to learn how to?..."

agreed. The Main menu is currently being redesigned.

No splitters and underground belts is proving to be a massive headache getting production up to anything reasonable. No access to splitters and undergrounds is certainly making this more difficult for me. I feel like I'm trying to race through the tutorial with one hand tied behind my back, and an ...

Seems a bit steep for what would be a brand new player. The difficulty is based on pollution, so if your factory was "big" and you did not produce many bullets (as a % of your total production), then you will fail. New players do not produce as much pollution as a vet. I will be tweaking ...

It might be worth mentioning that I skipped the automation step (accidentally), by manually inserting components for green circuits. My expectation is that like many people, you were expecting a tutorial and played very lazy (compared to your regular level of play). Its ok, I see it a lot. Actually...

Thanks for the replay and for playing during the experimental!

oh, the screenshots are found in the directory in your Factorio folder.

There are also special autosaves made at key points during the scenario.

please keep playing and give me your full feedback at the end. If you can upload the screenshots that are the game makes for you that would help a lot too!

Once you are done I will come back and discuss.

Thanks for playing so soon!

this pleases me more than you can know.

The question I would ask is: How would you define the difference between launching a rocket and automating rocket launching? Im sure there are many ways to define that. It just isn't worth defining if our goal is for the player to launch one rocket (or to do one thing one time regardless of what th...

I started a game with a mod that includes the proposed science changes, and I am about 70% of the way to a rocket launch. Here are my additional comments. 1. Chemical Science is now harder due to having two products that use crude oil as a raw resource. I'm not sure that was the desired effect. (.....

I like the idea of a test launch. A simpler approach would be to have all launches produce space science, for satellite technology to require space science, and for vanilla victory to require launch of a rocket with satellite. The question I would ask is: Should the player be rewarded with victory ...

I think the science changes are great, the fluid dynamics are sorely needed, and all the new hi-res stuff is awesome. I appreciate the devs trying to keep the game fresh and interesting. Sometimes we react to change negatively just because it’s change, but once we give it a try it turns out to be a...

And I shall conclude with the "give link if you find one" with several quotes, you can click on the little arrows to go to them: Problem not solved: I research ... Common man, play fair. You cant just quote yourself saying problem not solved, concerns not addressed. Otherwise I can quote ...

This is 0.17 - quite unlike any prior release - so guess which plan the way-overdue-for-a-good-vacation devs chose. Some of the team who posted here in response WERE on holiday. They still chose to respond to you and engage in the game they love. One of the least best solutions is to remove the ino...

Anything you did in your last post is also possible with resource/mining categories. ... Rseding already approved adding it ... I just have to code it

Confirmed internal solution coming

Where is the sorrow at not being able to use axes in modded games? I think everyone has made their sorrow rather clear. Axes will still be modable, just not with a slot for them. The character still wields a pickaxe in their animation and you can tier your mining using 0.16 modding already. Our mod...

Keep the pickaxe, remove the tedium from it. And this is what we did. Sorry for staying out of the discussion for so long. If you want to discuss how to solve this with mods, please help me find a solution over here: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=64142&p=391680#p391680

Ill start with a crappy implementation. Im sure someone can come up with a much nicer one but this one works for hand mining. Explanation: I added a bunch of generic objects called pickaxes into the game. They can go anywhere in your inventory. When you mine something the mod checks if you have the ...

There seems to be a lot of controversy about this, and even so nobody has made a thread to actually discuss a solution. I personally did not get involved until now because: A) I'm the one who pushed for the change so I am biased B) Factorio attracts a well educated and capable player base, so I alwa...

Id like to see an Ushanka hat, but it is a Logistics Bot picking up my head.
