Can I suggest to call shallow water bogland or marsh? Then it makes more sense you can walk on it but not build on it. An intuitive idea is to have two types of landfill: Basic Landfill: makes water into bogland Permeable Landfill: fills in all water and bogland Basic Landfill would be cheaper than...

1. Bots. It can be very annoying when building an outpost an you get attacked halfway across the map and you run there with 20 robolegs, clear up the biters and you need to rebuild with bots. Some of the bots are left behind, but you still have a good stack in your inventory. Yet nothing happens. T...

Sugestion: Use 2nd proposal and make linked BPs green. How? Drag-and-drop BPs from library to shortcut bar will create a green one. This BP is linked to library - and update a green BP will update BP in library. Shift-drag-and-drop BP will create a copy (blue one) altering this one will NOT update ...

Everything is looking great so far! My 2c regarding any screen that has both Back/Cancel and a Reset .. I feel like you can just de-clutter that screen more and remove the Reset by making it implicit in the Back/Cancel action. https://eu2.factorio.com/assets/img/blog/fff-246-back-confirm-in-options...

3. There's several things written on your white board there (and honestly, why would you show us a photo of the white board unless you wanted us to read it?), one of the things that caught my eye was a question mark of removing durability, and the pick. (There is no pick in the game, it's called a ...

So there could be FSF - Factorio Sunday Facts

Too late ?

Nice picture nice factory
But I agree to yohannc, the bitters are missing ... and shooting laser guns too.

It's per map. So all or nothing. Oh come on. At least please make this per surface. I think it can be nice to realize it based on speed of player and distance from mine. So I can see mines if I stay near of them. If you stay near enough you will realize them (regardless of being in movement or not)...

It has mod support aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I think Klonan's solution of disallowing buildings in enemy bases is probably good enough™. This is definitely a bad idea. Shutting down an entire play style over one single item is a ham fisted solution. It reduces the options that players have to fight each other and disallows cool things like st...

A day in Factorio lasts exactly 25000 ticks. A timer takes only one combinator. Lamps are circuitable. Go nuts.

Like to have a day light sensor for circuit network, (or please make a way to check if solar panel produce power by circuit network ).

What? Please make a instant save or message box to confirm to exit the game, it one click on that red "X" in top right corner of a factorio window. Why? I often play in window mode (for various reasons). Sometimes the technology window open in game and my hand try to close it with that &q...

https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?title=Modding As how I understood that title: He don't like to have a tutorial "how to mod". I tough he think it would be nice if a mod author can create in-game-tutorials on his own for specialties of his mod. And also if I'm wrong, I would like to hav...

I’m going with interesting. Just a bit of brain workout. I don't think they will ever implement it like suggested (if they will I'll be like a happy small child jumping up and down trough my living room), but I like to think about what is possible and what may not. And I like to have here people wh...

Doing this on the recipe level while keeping the buildings the same would be very confusing for many players, though. But you could do it on the building-level where you cannot place certain buildings on certain biomes. I.e. the swamp cannot carry heavy structures, you have to build them on solid g...

I see another way to come to a very similar result: We permanently introduce multiple alternative recipes to obtain the same item by different pathways. Except that doesn't achieve the desired result at all . This is the problem as originally stated: So it is a battle, who has the best blueprints l...

I for myself do not play much multi player factorio. So I would prefer the devs would spend more time in improve the single player mode and especially the campaign. But I also accept the fact that there are many players who like multi player factorio. Sometimes I wach multi player streams over twich...
