I don't have tested, but this sounds like it could work:

Game Mode turns on automatically when you use these steps to view your game in full screen:

Move your pointer over the green button in the upper-left corner of the game window.

It's not just running it overnight though. Sometimes there are long stretches where I literally have nothing to do except wait. And that's true for this game AND Satisfactory.

Don't get me wrong, I love the game. It's just that it needs a little something extra - like vanilla recyclers and ...

With respect, even with that overhaul it's still possible to have too much of one resource and plenty of the others, to the point that exchanging one oil-based resource for another won't solve the problem, it'll exacerbate it instead. A flare stack is a viable solution and doesn't trivialize ...

Hello, I don't understand something.

Is there a big use for second layer trains? I saw many maps for factorio and it seems to me that people were fine with 1 layer. City-blocks or not.


It'll offer a lot more possibilities to increase train throughput, when bases get bigger. Also, it'll offer ...

Simply amazed. Didn't expect that, but it's beautiful. That will elevate the usage of trains immensely.
IMO. Good call to focus on this

Train spaghetti FTW

I guess, that would be hell. Imagine, you start two different independent rail networks, and then... they are off...

V2 vanilla without Space Age, probably not. Only, if it gets released way before Space Age.
Space Age, most definitely.

I think making big-electric-pole wire reach equal 32 would be bad. This would allow setups that would have exactly 1 big-electric-pole in every chunk in repeating pattern, but since power poles can have at most 5 copper connections to other electric poles, in most cases placing 1 big-electric-pole ...

Nice! More spaghetti to the rails!

At least, the poll says, that the names proposed by the devs are not that popular. Although, not many have participated for a realistic impression.

The 35-page discussion was very low quality, mostly talking about unimportant things like the name and useless critique based on misunderstanding of the quality system. And it was mostly redundant. It wasn't really 35 pages of discussion, it was 35 pages of the same post redundantly posted in ...

I also miss the opportunity to buff belts with quality. IMO it would be enough, if you don't have different speeds at each stage, but at least at some stages.
And blue belt only, would also be enough. I would imagine something like:
- normal 45 items per sec.
- uncommon 60 (double red belt ...

One question comes to my mind, when thinking about the trigger techs:
Do I have to select it beforehand? And/or can it trigger, while researching something else? IMO, it should be totally automatic, without selecting anything, and finish, while researching something else.

Selecting it is ...

BNW should work without problem with the Sea Block Pack, which itself contains everything necessary from Bobs and Angels.

Did you try the whole modpack, which is the recommended way:
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/SeaBlockMetaPack

Did you the start the game as a BNW scenario?

Overall, good stuff!

Honestly, the factory calculability is very simple and the same calculation over and over again. I don't want to become a mental arithmetic world champion, but I want to solve complex problems which are not exactly computable. These problems have to be solved by a clever control system. But maybe ...

To those who think, that SA might be a light version of SE or that it contain lesser content than some mods:
- The factorio mod support is what is the basis of all those mods. Without the continuous from the factorio devs to support all of this, you'd only see a fraction of the mod variety. You can ...

I had wished something ……… more regarding topography of the landscape like mountains, sea, different biomes, etc.


Each of the 4 planets could have different biomes right? From the images it seems likely this will be added… (to also make them easily distinguishable)


Yeah, different biomes ...

Finally some news on the expansion. Part of me is a bit disappointed, that it's "only" an extension to space. I had wished something like digging tunnels to an underworld, exploring the deep sea of nauvis or more regarding topography of the landscape like mountains, sea, different biomes, etc.

But ...
