I wonder... what killed them all. Was it the weather? Was it themselves? Or something else... alive out there?

Vulcanus is Venus, Fulgora is Mars. Any objections?

At the beginning I got a feeling of emptiness and cruel hostality of lifeless nature. Once the dead civilization got revealed, I got even slightly depressed. Very dark mood. I just hope that the ruins are planet-wise phenomenon and that they are not just at the spawn

I personally can't find a fitting name for tier 4. Most popular 'Exceptional' is good with its meaning, but the name is very long imho. People will likely come ap with a way to shorten it, the same has happened f.e. with green/red/blue chips. I suggest using term 'Exemplary'

One little remark, the two most used things in the information panel (except maybe for the stack-size, etc) is likely the "Ingredients" and "Used In". The "Unlocked By" is rarely used, but now it's taking up a lot of screen space, and you would have to scroll past it e...

I feel like the new naming should address following issues: Shouldn't imply any sort of chance, rarity or even gamble All tiers should clearly define the tiers order All names should be as short as possible as the terms will get used very frequently Here I have come up with suggestions which comply ...

Very interesting insight into the map generation. Thank you very much!

Here is the save https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a1Rx1h ... sp=sharing

Well it used only about 1 of 8 of my CPU cores and it didn't actually generate new chunks, didn't help with my confusion, what the requested chunks mean

I have tried that and it had no effect on the performance. I have used a command to force generate all requested chunks and after the unfroze after 20 minutes, the performance jumped from 16 ups to about 70 ups (requested game speed is 100x). The requested chunks had dramatic impact on performance, ...

Map generation is such that there is no water, no trees, no cliffs, no ores, no biters, basically nothing excepts rocks. The poor performance might also have something to do with requested chunks count, not sure what that means though

Hi, I am exploring the limits of Factorio engine and I am doing an experiment of generating milions of chunks via pollution. I know that pollution has a performance impact, especially on this extreme scale, but I am wondering, how do I read that from the debug menu? It says it takes about 75ms on En...

Factorio music is very nice, but after hundreds and thousands of hours it gets very repetitive. Please give us 10 more hours of music, even if it increases the price of the expansion. Pleeeaaasssseee <3

Could there be a case where you need different priority for incomming and outgoing trains? If so, I guess it can be done via circuitery, but a separate slider would be much easier.

How does this work with fluids?

This made me thinking... Can you dump fluids in assemblers? If yes, how does it work? If not... this can be abused to destroy fluids automatically. You could be automatically resetting a recipe which takes an undesired fluid.

Is the assembler's dump inventory limited? I mean slotwise and amountwise. Can you in theory store all crafted items from many different recipes in there as you wouldn't be emptying the dump? If it is limited, does the overflow just chestplode?

The green belts got me thinking. There are only two whole frames each item goes trough, so that's why the belts don't look good. I have a pipe dream - detaching FPS limit from UPS limit, make the game being able to appear smoother on fast refreshrate monitors. I can imagine it needing a significant ...

Now belts can be even more convenient than trains on short to middle distances. I hope there are better wagons, locomotives or some other improvements besides bridges. Unless the bridges add so much value to the train network, hard to judge without trying it. It just feels silly to me to have 8+ wag...

Very cool feature. I have to also note, that limit of 10 parameters can be quite limiting for huge blueprints where the effort of filling out tens of parameters can still be worth than having more smaller blueprints. If you could find a way to make the parameters count unlimited, it would have been ...

Hi again, I have an available train station and a train scheduled to go there reports "destination full" even though there is a valid path to it. I need to set the train to manual and back to automatic to make it go there. Same-ish issue as here: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f...
