Perceived Campaign fatal flaw, Splitters and Undergrounds come way too late. Once you have some turrents up and running, the research for them should become available right away.

I am noticing this as well. I am playing through the campaign and had a burning miner drill destroyed. I had zero audible notification of either the attack or the destruction. I only noticed once I ran over to collect more iron plate. Going through the options, I do not see an option at all to turn ...

You do not have access to a deconstruction planner to the right of the toolbelt in the campaign until you unlock construction bots.

As someone experienced with the game, one of the things I like to do place in my toolbelt right away is the Deconstruction Planner. It helps me visualize when building things on the fly. Now, I can't get it to stick on my toolbelt unless I have a physical copy in my inventory? What gives? I should b...

Last factory I made ran 22 lines of iron, 2 lines of steel, 4 lines of plastic, 1 pipe of acid and 12 lines of copper. That was for 140 science per minute on yellow belt only. Obviously that would go down if I had cared to try red or blue belts.

I am going to bump this thread. With fluids finally getting overhauled, there is only ONE major thing I would like to see done to improve factorio. Mod Profiles. I have to mod setups I use. One is for my standard games and the other is for creative mode. I would like to be able to into the mods menu...

I gave you fair credit for what you believe in and how you felt. Until and unless you can come up with a rational reason why the pickaxe should remain as a baseline item in the game, I see no further point in wasting time with you. I think it should exist but be altered. replace "tools" a...

It is a sandbox. Like any good sandbox, the player has to define the endgame, not the developer. One day you might be building a castle. The next you are building a valley between two mountain ranges and then dumping out a bucket of GI Joe figures to play war. The day after that you are making sculp...

What kind of players who have been with the game longest also do not matter. Well. This tidbit seems to be representative of the quality of the entire wall of text that I pulled it from, so it feels like I could just- I'm lazy, instead of spending ten seconds to repeat it, I'll spend a full minute ...

Congratulations! Heard about that Electron rocket. Need more companies like Rocket Lab and SpaceX leading the way.

I cannot wait for that new fluid system!

...snip... And you're projecting your faults onto me, ignoring my reasoning because you don't actually care to listen so your internal filter simply says I'm making purely 'emotional' arguments so you don't have to confront them. The symbolism of the pickaxe is that the things you craft are your to...

. . . snip . . . I am mistaken, you do not appear to be an idiot, you are just plain . . . I will let you pick your word to describe yourself. All you can do is insult people who present reasoned discussion on a topic YOU brought up. Congratulations. I should probably stop here, but I will go ahead...

End game is what you want it to be once you launch a rocket and unlock the infinite researches. Here are some good youtube channels to check out relating to Factorio and some select videos: Colonel Will Xterminator Katherine of Sky Nilaus Soeles Gaming Rocket Ballet Train Ballet Belt Ballet More Bel...

Among other things outlined, the pickaxe is an introductory step for new players. Just as some people no longer see the value in setting up their first electricity plant, initial pickaxe craft isn't meant for very experienced players. It's a step in a different stage of the game - the first five mi...

@Featherwinglove and others who think like him. I see a problem with the train of thought you folks have. Y'all clearly like the game. Y'all clearly greatly enjoy the modded game. Most, if not everyone, disappointed in the removal of the pickaxe and the changes to mining coming with 0.17 are all pl...

The artwork for the hi-resolution underground has a cutout on the shroud when a belt side feeds into one. This makes it clear this is now an intended bit of functionality.

First off, just gonna say, I am not a coder. All I know about coding is the extreme bare bones basics. So with that in mind, I have to ask, "How are player tools, weapons, armor, and so forth handled by the game?" The game's core, I would think, would handle all the code that is absolutely...

When I hear of an option like this, I picture clicking the button would generate a new map with completely random variables without any prior preview. Basically a 1 button click from the main menu to get into a brand new game in 1 click. Just imagine if you randomize ALL the settings... On this map...
