Yeah definitely overkill on the production of the items for the science packs. xd But better to have too much than too little I suppose. It is a bit :). However I hope when I research modules and lvl 3 assemblers, I will be able to optimize it so that nothing stops running and there are no overflow...

So I was going for a factory with as few belts as possible and I managed to create this! The ratio of green to red is not right but both are infinitely expandable. Every assembler has no modules and each science assembler runs non-stop (unless there isn't enough iron :) ). Obviously blue and purple ...

I have been waiting so long!!! IT IS HERE
Thank you so much developers! Right off to play it! See you next update when stop (mainly because you have to restart to update!)

Ha ha 13000! Wow - good luck with that! I'll see you in a few years when you're done!

I don't even... It is just so... How does it even... I just... Wha... *waits for brain to solidify* That is one epic build man! And you did it in 'survival' as well!

Get well soon! :) :) I fully support you not releasing 0.12 this week if you think that is the right thing to do. However, most of us play single player as well as multi-player so if single player is working, it would be fine for me. :D Also, I would definitely buy a factorio T-Shirt! You need to ha...

Play testing! That sounds like my kind of job! Do you just play normally until you find a bug or do you have to do just keep reloading multiplayer games (etc.) to see if it breaks?

Update looks great guys (and girl )!
One question though - will I need to start a new world for it to see all the features?

However, moving a large amount of mass through the air is a LOT harder then over the ground, assuming flat-ish terrain. Fair point :) But assuming they are quite high up, they would be safer from you (out of range easily) and they could fly over water as as far as I know, biters can't swim. Yet... ...

Sorry it's a long one! The Idea This idea came to me when the devs announced the humongous biter (the giant biter that reduces lag by removing many single biters). I got the idea from the giant flying aliens from the Avengers Assemble movie: http://iv1.lisimg.com/image/5896075/600full-poster.jpg I r...

This is exactly what I have been looking for! Thank you so much for this :D :D I have always wanted to make use of those useless things like steel furnaces but there wasn't really much around in this quality! I don't usually use mods but this should be in the game anyway so I guess I can live with m...

Wow! That is a little shorter than mine

I have just finished my first playthrough of factorio and I have enjoyed it immensely! However, when I finished (with a backup save for when the actual endgame comes out), I had played that world for 95 hours!!! :o :o :o Is this a very long first playthrough - I was a bit slow at the beginning but I...

You are so lucky to have trams in Prague - apparently one of the best systems in the world!! Maybe that could be added to factorio - personal 1 car trams for the rail network

They are pretty good at removing rocks in early game...

the trains and the automation (and not using bots because they are cheaty) I used that principle for the first 50hours and eventually I gave in but it was worth it! "Oh no I've run out of advanced circuits!" 200 bots come along and feed me. "Oh no I've crashed into a pipe with my tan...

I bought factorio quite a while ago now - back in September and, although it is very good game in essence, it has one major flaw which ruins everything... It's addictive. This has spoilt not only my experience of the game, it has spoilt my entire life. Since September, I have spent nearly 100 hours ...
