Without some kind of endless tech, the 6 ppm science requirement might not be doable if the science had been finished before reaching the 6 ppm. You don't have to put the science packs in a lab; I reached that requirement sticking them in a chest. It's actually easier, because you only need one ass...

Just as the final tech completed, some of what looks like debug text showed up on screen, seen in upper right corner of screenshot.

Finished the campaign, and I didn't die. If the game had gone another minute, I was dead. My defenses were just being overrun when I finished. There is no way a new player could survive this, unless the code behind is purposefully ramping up attacks there at the end to overrun just for the thrill th...

A thought, since the attacks are so aggressive, if a player loses here. They probably won't have a save from the beginning of this Part 2. There might be from the menu an option to start at Part 2 and not have to restart from the beginning. Maybe give the Introduction Campaign its own sub-menu that ...

C1 001.zip Okay, some of what I said obviously isn't material, since I didn't know the campaign moved to another section, and the "game continued." Up until the point I'm at, it says to build a science assembly to get 6 packs per minute. A quick thought, is it is pretty intense. New playe...

So, all the other GUI windows so far that I've seen have an X in the upper right corner of the window to close it, except the Mods window.

I'm finding it confusing, and I'm an experienced player. The smashed buildings, it's not clear that throwing materials at them, fixes them. A right click or hovering mouse over the smashed building, tool tip, that explains that would help. While the bot is explaining the bits to the GUI, the GUI is ...

I thought I read in the FF that release was today, February 25th, but now I can't find it. Here I sit anxiously awaiting. Is release today? Edit: I found it, it was in FF 282 - "If the playtesting goes well, we will let you know next Friday, and if it is the case, we will aim to release the wee...

I don't want to be negative, but I thought the goal of 0.17 was to polish for launch. These changes "should" take another year of testing. As you're essentially making a new tech tree. I know developers have free reign to do as they please, but 0.16 is a fun game. As coders, don't you know...

I guess I get the use case. Pass the value if (some other) value passes a check.

Still seems that this is a bug. You can output a different symbol if you use the radio button to select 1 instead of input count. I read the "Version .13.0 Change log Decider combinator "input count" option makes the combinator copy the count of the specified output signal from the in...

picture shows a couple of mods, but I removed all but creative mode and still have the same issue.

So, if the decider combo has a value input and it passes the check say, 5000 yellow belts greater than zero. And I want to output 'A', nothing is output. But if I output the same symbol, in this case yellow belt, it works. The bug is that the symbol cannot be changed and get the input count. If you ...

Honestly, thanks for the update. Any help on fluids is much appreciated. Fluids is the biggest challenge in factorio, such that I find putting fluids on trains and transferring them that way, much easier than trying to pipe them. Fluid mechanics, be damned. This isn't a simulation on real world mode...

Off site production, commonly called an outpost, is typical of any factorio base that uses trains. You can have a mine outpost, that mines ore and loads a train. The train brings the ore to another location for processing. Sounds like you do this already, and bring it to the main base for processing...

Some questions. 1) Did you build it? 2) Did you try to insert fuel into any of the reactors? Whatever the answers, I suggest. First, copy it and then make a deconstructor for all the combinators. Wipe them out and re-paste the blueprint once the reactors have stopped their work and have been emptied...

I feel the 0.16 map generator is a bum. I liked 0.15. Resources, water etc were evenly spread out. Water was natural looking. Water and land in 0.16 looks completely unnatural, like the swirl in a coffee latte. It's very difficult to work with and need lots of landfill. If there's not oil in the sta...

That said your save doesn't run much faster on my desktop. So it just gotten too big. Things take the most time to update in your save are inserters, transport lines and pipes. @posila - what are transport lines? belts? For pipes, I heard mention that work on improving pipes was coming. Any word on...

I don't know if this is the place to talk about the changes coming for the 0.17 vanilla implementation of the Upgrade Planner. In the Friday Facts, it is shown to work off construction bots. At the moment, the current upgrade planner will work prior to the person having personal roboports and bots i...

I can't seem to figure out how to remove the Upgrade Planner inventory items/icons. I end up with a bunch of them that I can't delete. Same here. I thought the small remove button in the top right corner will remove the item like blueprints does, but it just reset the whole thing, which is kinda us...
