I play vanilla. I personally feel that a game should be desirable to play sans mods.

Wooden Chests and Wooden Power Poles get upgraded and become obsolete quickly. Leaving the player with only the option of destroying them seems unfair, lazy and unnecessary.

Please let the player decide how to dispose of these items, by returning their ability to act as fuel.

Changes for an existing community feel biased. Design for the first-time player. Of course game vets would be better at playing. Which is what happens when you leave your game in Early Access for 5+ years, it starts to feel old so you ramp it up and before you know it, you have a 1.0 version of the ...

Yes, please, try it out for yourself. So far, turrets are the only object that takes longer to retrieve from the ground. Everything else gets back into my inventory extremely quick. Changes for an existing community feel biased. Design for the first-time player. Of course game vets would be better a...

Well with the new biter changes and the slower turret pick up, combined with their seemingly increased damage and lower spawn to attack times, it would seem to be a larger deal than you make it out to be. Meaning, picking up any other item doesn't feel slower to do, just turrets. When I go to pick u...

Graphics aside, the combat feels heavily in favor of the biters now. It feels more like a combat game and less like a building game. I had the game set to default in 17.1, and within 5 minutes I had biters on my base. Also, these small biters were doing WAY more damage than any other small biter I'd...

Has anyone else noticed a severe difference between the time it takes to pick up turrets between 0.16 and 0.17? So I was turret walking up to a nest in 0.17, and I noticed that the entire rhythm I got used to in 0.16 has changed. It takes a little longer to pick up turrets in 0.17 now than it used t...

There is no toolbar displayed in the tutorial mode. The player constantly has to press "E" to select items from inventory.

If this is not a bug and an intended design, please change this, as it's not indicative of what the game play experience outside of Tutorial mode will be.

The dynamic mouse over boxes in the top right corner of the screen have their text cut off and incomplete. I can't read the entire lines. It's almost as if the box is too far to the right, and needs to be scooted to the left a bit so that the full length of the line can be read.

In the tutorial, the objective tree states to gather stone to make a stone furnace. However, the game provides the player a false positive when collecting stone. It says that the objective of gathering stone is complete, only after 1 stone is gathered. This creates ambiguity from the player's point ...

When playing the new tutorial, when you mouse over the stone deposits on the ground, the text in the item window that displays in the upper-right corner of the screen, is cut off. You can't read the full line of text nor can you see it wrap to the next line.

Currently, once you make a series of Stone Furnaces for smelting, there's really nothing to do with them once you've upgraded to Steel Furnaces or even Electric Furnaces. Stone Furnaces can either be laterally transitioned into Boilers, or downgraded into Burner Mining Drills. Seems like a HUGE over...

Does anyone know if there are any plans to include indicators for weapon AOEs for all the weapons? Kind'a like the grenade has a green circle that goes around the player to show weapon range. Are they going to do that for all the weapons? If so, I think it would be a nice QOL feature to include a re...

The new fluid system looks great! I must admit, I'm a little scared about the loss of the your macOS devs. I hope you find someone. If you don't, what does this mean for people like me who play Factorio on mac? Could the game go forward into 0.17 and beyond sans mac support? Or will the game not pus...
