Re: Module Math

But I did say that at 12/13 beacons productivity becomes better - and additionally it is a very rare occurrence. You didn't say 12/13, you said 13: Only at 13 speed beacons (not sure you can even fit this many) the synergy between speed and productivity surpasses pure speed in crafting efficiency (...

If it was realistic, think about carrying around 200 batteries, 1000 metal plates, a car, ten diesel locomotives and a freaking tank - and that's just 14 inventory slots.

Yeah I would find that interesting as well.

Re: Module Math

And that's also why depleted oil pumps should only use speed modules. But that is wrong. When using 11 or 12 speed beacons around a pumpjack, using one productivity and one speed is more productive than pure speed. See this test done ingame: http://imgur.com/a/lkIGV But I did say that at 12/13 beac...

Re: Renaming Trash Slots

I totally disagree. People who can read English have a general idea what happens when you put something in a "trash slot". But "active provider" means nothing in English. If anything, they should rename the chests. You made your point clear in your thread about the active provid...

Module Math

I somehow think that someone did this before, but I was bored and I like doing stuff with excel. But I didn't come here only to post this, but also to ask for discussion and maybe some help as well. Please tell me if my math went wrong at some point, because that would help me a lot. Also please req...

Renaming Trash Slots

Another one of these, yes, I'm sorry. However, I am concerned or was concerned with the clarity of "trash slots" since I started using the logistics network. Due to tutorials I knew what they did but otherwise I would have been afraid of my items getting destroyed. While trash doesn't refe...

Re: Electric energy

Please Factorio Team, add more energy options. I know you are adding nuclear power, which is great. However, please make the energy setup a choice . Right now it is a clear progression without much choice: You start with Steam Engines and eventually supplement them (or not) with solar panels . This ...

Re: Rename Discussion

Honestly I think Factorio's naming is pretty spot on and most of these need no name change. Diesel Locomotive should just be Locomotive or Burner Locomotive if you want to have it be in sync with the other burner equipment. However a car is also just a car and not a burner car. Modules are clear and...

Re: Improving Car Driving Experience (Steering)

Precise character movement is also difficult in Factorio when you have 6 exoskeletons. :) Well, there is not really any instance where you need precise character movement, at least I had no problems with it. The car turning however... let's just say it would be nicer to not constantly ram a tree or...

However, I have just added in all the new or updated tutorials I have done, and definitely suggest checking them out sense they cover a lot of stuff the older ones did not. :) Hope you find them helpful, ...

Improving Car Driving Experience (Steering)

I never like using the car in Factorio. It is decently fast, but the steering is just so hard to handle and the whole driving experience is pretty bad. Sure, Factorio is no racing game and it doesn't need to be, but I think one small tweak might improve it a ton. When I was still a beginner game des...

Re: Looking for someone to play Multiplayer with (voice chat)

Mods - I have a few installed myself, but nothing that changes the game really. I got one that has researchable hand crafting speed upgrades, smaller collision for trees and one with better textures (higher resolution). I would rather not play with something that considerably changes gameplay, becau...

Re: [0.14] Nuclear power: use thorium instead of uranium

As a game designer, I can only repeat the meme up there: Why not both? If there is distinct and interesting advantages and disadvantages to both, they would make great additions to the game. Uranium could be used as a less efficient "low tech" variant with the upside of being useful for we...

Hey, my (nick)name is Syrchalis and I'm 24. I work as a game designer and I enjoy Factorio a great deal. So far I only played single player but since a while I wanted to try Multiplayer.
