when i load my sandbox savegame the "chest yes-no" "all tech yes-no" buttons pop up and if clicking yes (chest), the game crashes with the following error message
obviously it doesnt find a non colliding position. however, these buttons shouldnt pop up in the first place

it would be nice if there was some kind of illumination in sandbox mode at night - except lamps.

when exploring new regions/ building in unlit areas..well..its just pitch dark and youre doomed to wait until the sun rises

I had other idea.
What if mining drills that mined everything would just become rusty ruins of the miner instead.
The player could mine the ruins for some almost useless resources, so he would usually leave those mining sites there, this would play nicely with the game atmosphere.

i like it :D ...

sounds ok to me.

factorio has a very good foundation right now. but there are still a few things missing in order to create a better gameplay and better long term motivation.
so its reasonable to concentrate on that before starting such a big project like multiplayer!

so far i love this game and i ...

so
how do you plan your factorys?

that would definitely help

@ mining drills: Yeah, I was also quite unsure where will the output ore land.
So far I attribute it to the fact, that it used to be crystal-clear (just as everything else used to be) and now it's not (just as everything else is now).
If I weren't given the crystal-clear version first, I think I ...

i was able to play the new version for a few hours.
what i've noticed so far:

the player is not able to leave an express transport belt when moving in 2 dimensions (e.g. x/-y ; -y/x) and stutters shortly when leaving a fast transport belt when moving in 2 dimensions.
moving in one dimension doenst ...

awesome new GUI!!
wasnt able to play more than 10 minutes yet, but the first impression is really great

Good analysis! That is what exactly happened. We released scenario-pack bugfix after the regular release and afterwards there was a bugfix only release for the scenario pack. This included changing the blueprint.dat files. And they were generated by the dev version of factorio (which has already ...

couldnt open your save-file..
obviously you have the scenario-pack -> versions dont match

hehe looks cool :) things i need to do: create a checklist :D
i will post a picture of my factory probably at thursday/friday..before i possibly start a new one with the new version..estimated game time on this savegame will be ~20h

edit: have exactly the same land mine production layout. super ...

I was lucky the map generated with a few really big ones close by, but they are running out now and I've done a lot of exploration and have yet to come across another decent supply of ore.
I did set the map settings richness levels higher, and possible deposit sizes too. But I think I left the ...

options -> graphics -> x show inserter arrows when detailed info is on

nice setup u have there

90hours game-time..
how are your ressource fields doing? do you need to transport raw materials over huge distances?

AWESOME new drill graphics!!!

so excited..

ooops
didnt saw THAT

hey guys,

when watchin a replay (custom szenario), the game crashes the moment that i attack a creeper (important information: "attack" is assigned to "middle-mouse-button")
furthermore i noticed that the replay doesnt match the actual game before the crash. i loose half my hp and a assembling ...

nice thx!!

Steam engines can produce tremendous amounts of power consistently but can't handle fluctuations very well. =/

totally agree with you(creeper attack really puts the energy production to the limit), but thats close to reality - sadly.
coal powered engines/turbines are inflexible even in modern ...

what value did u change and in which file?
i would be interested in that too. these slow spliters really are a pain..
