Then we only need to wait while someone does that, as after three years of Factorio i find mythelf eventually rechecking rail tutorials from time to time to be sure that my rail spaghetti still makes any sence :) I've had the game for almost two years, but I've only been actively playing for about ...

There's already 7 flavors of science and the last few colors are basically empty. You don't need more tiers, they just need to be spaced out a bit better. I think they're spaced out better than you're giving them credit for. If you look at the individual tiers of technology, as in the layered tree ...

I like this idea, but I feel like there would be technical limitations. Anyway nothing really to add, I just would like this.

Well, then a new, oil-based science tier between Green and Blue seems even more important ! Why? It's just reducing the player's options before they have oil. That necessarily means there's less to do before getting oil, but it doesn't make you go get it any faster. Nor does it make the game any mo...

As you can see, if you have a factory without oil, you miss on about half of green science. Except you don't really miss anything. Climbing the tree is an end in itself - it doesn't matter whether I can make what I just researched, so long as it's researched and I've unlocked more technology. It gi...

Check out this deck: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B22HAM7WzR-RQUVUMFc5S0wzYjA Its old, but gold in terms of explanation and things haven't changed since then. That's actually been really helpful. I've been through all the tutorials, incidentally, but they felt kind of... inadequate. I wonder i...

Nearly half (if not more) of the game's content is wrapped up in green science! Maybe this is a whole different kind of problem, though: because you can do so much without blue science, you get overly comfortable with a factory that doesn't process oil. Perhaps what we actually need is for a bunch ...

Good point about size of turns. I come from a country with right lane car driving, so its easier for me to discuss it as RHD fr trains and left turns :) A also see your logic there in blocked lanes counting. Since Factorio wants your signals on the right side of the track, using right-lane structur...

Amount of resources is not limited You've never mined an entire iron patch? I mean, maybe this is just an experience issue. I only have 200 hours in-game, but I've sure as hell stripped multiple iron patches down to the bare dirt and had to go hunting for more. And that process is no less difficult...

Okay, so I can travel automatically from every station to every station EXCEPT "Copper Main - IN" so there's a problem right there in that spot. Looking at your signals, I found that every station had a signal immediately before the straight section leading into the station EXCEPT "Co...

How does this optimise anything? What problem is it supposed to solve, and how does it solve it? Thanks for asking. One of the reasons I wanted to post it was to check if it even makes sence with the rest of the community :) My vote isn't really relevant, since I've built three trains in my life, o...

The idea comes from traffic optimization strategy, that forbids direct left turn at crossing, instead forcing you to turn right and make a U-turn, if you want to go left. I'm a complete idiot about trains, so forgive me if I'm... well... an idiot. How does this optimise anything? What problem is it...

Step up from green science to blue science was huge as mentioned in science changes FFF. It's even greater now because of even more oil processing needed. Oh, okay. So you would rather build an assembler to consume your limited iron with mining drills, instead of a chemical plant to supplement your...

Even if just a bit of stuggle was moved ahead from first steps of refinery stage of the game, all the rest still piles up due to red circuits alone - NOT due to easily expandable fluid tanks filling up. I honestly don't understand your complaint. I already have to set up oil processing to make blue...

The system "enemies" is currently missing input and/or output and therefor is also unable to interact with other systems properly. What is the proper interaction of "enemies" with other systems? Currently, the "enemies" system interacts with the player by producing une...

Though the actual average EDIT: median player barely gets to oil anyway, and I have only a very fragmented understanding of how they play. Once I got the rocket silo technology, the game changed from sandbox to death march. After I launched, it went back to sandbox again. I suspect most players enj...

Might look into getting a steam controller for games like this. I use a Steam controller to play. Essentially left stick is WASD with click mapped to ENTER for vehicles; the button pad is mapped to A - L for Logistics, B - E for Inventory, X - Q for Clear Hand, and Y - Z for Drop Item; the directio...

Steam kept recommending it to me, I bought it in late 2017, and then it was confusing and annoying so after about 40 hours of play I just let it sit in my game inventory doing nothing. Then XisumaVoid (one of the holy trinity of Minecraft YouTubers, along with Grian and MumboJumbo) did a tutorial vi...

currently, the only effective method of destroying a base that i found is to jump in the middle of it, preferably in a tank, destroy the spawners, and only then take care about the biters that are following you. I throw five each of personal laser defence and energy shields in my inventory, then ki...

What about the 65 unassigned bug reports?

My psychic powers tell me they're not going to be fixed for the 0.17 release.
