there is "official logo pack" with vector logo(s) inside. Take a peek and take it to your graphic designer

It's an interesting idea to integrate it into the game. For now Factorio has got irc channel - there is plenty of active people at all times

That is a coincidence, their ai is quite basic Still, even basic behaviors may seem complex and be fun.

I'd say that QT is super heavy and not really suited for games - more for applications. Factorio needs just something light to do inputs/windowing, not a big framework you'd have to rewrite half of the game to fit into.

Robots are still pretty overpowered yeah, you have to plan for a crapton of roboports.

What if there was an infinite research for max active robot count in one logistic area? It would allow small-scale fun while providing challenge when building big-scale installations (you'd have to split the factory into multiple smaller chunks if you wanna mass bots, not just throw enough bots into...

The part you're forgetting about is the player delivery. One of the main big features of bots is that they can resupply the player with whatever one needs quickly and on demand. As for the rest, it won't really nerf the bots - just build a dense net of those "poles" and it will be as it was.

I doubt, UE4 is 3d and factorio is 2d. Also, I'm worried about the performance.

Sfml or plain opengl, for a project of Factorio size rather opengl. For anything smaller, sfml.

I in fact have suggested that for substations and it went into the game Substations now have 16 instead of 14 range and they span exactly one chunk now!

Thanks, forgot about the link

Creative Mode has got infinite power drain.

To the top! I have struggled with that and gave up after not coming up with such simple idea. I see several places to apply that one, will be mandatory for my next base.

Come on! Factorio is perfect America simulator! Build walls and kill aliens to lay your hands on the oil. And of course pollute everything!

Mods are in the builtin mod portal (mods.factorio.com), but nothing for the savegames. You can look for in the forums though

Well... Just read https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-191 - planned for .16

For now, sadly nope.

And one blue belt of iron/copper is not enough. 4 iron and 4 copper is barely.

BTW, check out the Factorio IRC! viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7273

you need roughly 3 belts of plastic and ~20 belts of both copper and iron for 1 full blue belt of processing units. Processing units are super expensive.

~24 blue lines of iron ore + ~15 blue lines of copper ore is 0.5 RPM factory if you use prod3 modules everywhere. I highly recommend using distributed train base on that scale
