Even if you can't have prizes, I can't imagine that we can't share a map seed and see how well we all do with it. :D Good luck with the organization of this tournament - I used to run tournaments for new games and it's often a pain in the butt, especially with games like this that get updated so oft...

Got on there and played last night for 45 minutes with Azure. Hoping to carve out a bigger chunk of time in the future. The biggest problem I see is the possibility of continuing to start new games with different people instead of getting to play one game out with someone. At some point we have to g...

You guys actually respond to the community. You're already doing 10 times better than the Mode7Games guys. At one point they broke their game to the point of unplayability and left it that way for a month, having released this horrifiying version as a normal release and not a beta. I'm having a lot ...

Please post more information, such as where you are (time zone and latency issues) and when you play. I'd love to play MP with SOMEBODY.

The whole game is based on research progression. That said, it is my belief that the first thing you should be able to do is automate red research packs. IE, I want to be able to automate prior to researching anything. I feel the game doesn't feel right where I have to craft RPs in order to research...

I'm in America, but I don't hang out on Evolve.

I play most nights, inconsistently, but around 9 or 10 I'll start up a game and I'll go for an hour or two. This time could be with another person - I enjoy multiplayer gaming better than not.

Perhaps I need to get Evolve.

Fair enough. Too bad nobody's using it. I'm really trying to get through my first play through so I can move on to fighting the things while I'm building. So I haven't been hopping online to play as much as I will in the future, I hope.

Honestly in my current base I used trains only because I wanted to use trains. I didn't need them, but I wanted to experiment. I don't mind wasting resources because it's an infinite map. I can always just wipe someone out and build on their locations. But I guess I need to work on being more tight ...

Not thinking about money means Factorio never gets finished.

Just sayin'.

What, you haven't automated the bug-fixing process yet? Get some code inserters and a whole bunch of Christmas wire, you're gonna need it. :D :D :D Congratulations on your formation into a corporation. Even I and my also computer illiterate friend got your multiplayer working, so be glad! After hund...

Is that a long-armed inserter moving something from a belt to another belt, instead of an underground connecting belt? Is there a purpose to that? If it works, awesome, but you might want to swap that out at some point.

Same thing here, went into what I thought was a curve but there were the end pieces on the curves because I hadn't properly placed the straight pieces in the half-spots of a diagonal section. When I reloaded I just slowed down and fixed it.

Yeah, but you have to ask yourself - am I willing to develop 3 or 4 games but only end up with 1 game? More importantly, only get PAID for one game? Sounds like a losing proposition to me. I would love to have 3 or 4 games in one from Factorio but really, you're only going to get the money for one o...

So much in this thread! I don't know about everyone else, but there are two things going on here. One, factory defense. Two, 'gathering alien tech' which actually is offensive movement in the current iteration, but might end up being something else - trading. Or something. Anyway, we'll call that of...

There already are RPG elements. There's leveling up through technology. I assume eventually multiplayer will have the ability to split up the techs so that each player has their own - great. Hopefully it retains the ability to share tech. The game is about factories. Factories are about consumables....

I've been sharing about my exploits in this game over on the VideoGameGeek.com forums. I only got the game a couple days ago and I've already built a factory up to the blue research labs. I'm not sure what to do next but I'm sure I'll think of something. Always something to design! I think someone e...

Anyone who looks at that and says 'I just lost a sale because someone is playing my game without paying for it' rather than 'this guy just sold 3 copies of my game by sharing it' doesn't really understand business... people like to try before they buy and most people will end up buying things they l...
