Don't forget the soundtrack was made by someone who's not in the dev team : https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=19824&p=125618&hilit=soundtrack#p125618 His website : http://danieljamestaylor.co.uk/ I'm pretty sure he gets paid when people buy the soundtrack. Yes. Royalties ...

Thanks for the report. So the issue here is that the server is actually demo. That is a mistake on our side that the demo can be run in the server mode. This will be fixed in the 0.12.25. If you download the real headless server (http://factorio.com/download-headless) that should work just fine.

As mentioned in the email, the simplest way to get a game running on a linux server is to use our headless binary. Available from both the demo and download page. Running the Steam version of the game in headless mode might not work properly at the moment because of an error with passing arguments. ...

Here is a brief blog post about getting the Steam Keys for existing accounts: http://factorio.com/blog/post/steam-keys-available

Dear devs! What about train "names"? So many changes to trains, but no one about possibility to give names to trains. Maybe you will do, at least, Identificators (IDs)? Train names are definitely an option. Well well, Factorio hit the steam finally :D Since game will unlock in 5 days. I w...

Some last minute information on the Steam release plus a few pics of new Trains Gui features: https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-126

So, we have a juicy discussion going, that is good=)) To be honest, I have expected a bit of uneasiness, so let's just clarify a few things first and then see what can be done in the future. 1. The names / status of the existing tiers is not going to change. If someone has bought the mining-drill-op...

When you say everyone has the possibility of a steam key, you mean that everyone will have the option to generate a steam key? Yes. If I bought Transport Belt Repair Man on the website, when the Steam release launches do I get the scenario packs? If so, how do I get them? It's not that I'm cheap, a...

Here goes a comprehensive overview of the current Steam situation: http://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-124

Just a quick disclaimer regarding the endgame and the space platform. I haven't read all the conversation, but here is a sort of our current stand on the topic. This is not to be taken as a solid plan but rather as our current direction (which can shift as we have seen already=)): The amount of work...

Here comes continuation of last week's Combinators oriented FFF: http://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-123

Settlers(2). The economy is "automated" and your job is proper connection between "producers, converters and end-users". e.g. you mine coal and iron ore. then you smelt it to iron, then you forge it to weapons. It also allows cooperative multiplayer. And if focusses on logistics...

Today Oxyd gives more details on our path finder improvements efforst: http://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-121

I don't see a problem in this. As long as it makes the experience for people who actually paid for the game better then it is fine. Pretty much same what other services are doing already: see creeperhost.net or zaphosting.com

Yay FFF! More importantly though, there are two features the multi-player games browser definitely needs: The server name filter input always visible (not behind some tab) A favorite servers list!! There are many more things that can be added to improve it, but from my experience the name filter an...
