How could you play Factorio without perfectionism? Very well. I have engineering background and I have used to plan and build technical things from imperfect parts, rules and restrictions and knowledge. Actually, it is very hard to understand for me that so many players get their enjoyment from ach...

+1. It is deprecated dependency.

a 6 times increase is pretty extreme. I'd be up for a reduction to about 15 as an upper limit. Well, green circuits are ~3 times more expensive. LDS takes is 20 copper + 5 plastic + 2 steel (10 iron) = 35 plates in normal, and 20 copper + 30 plastic + 2 sreel (20 iron) = 70 plates in expensive. Yes...

Why it is major problem? Did you find some configuration which do not work? How could you play Factorio without perfectionism? And yes, I have throughput bugs in nuclear plants and fluid stations. I can't even measure throughput because it changes unpredictably. It is one of core game mechanics. An...

I like belt designs, but dealing with bigger stations I came to the conclusion that it's better to separate wagon<->chests and chests<->belts stages using bots. Rails become too scattered if they are mixed with belts bus. The main problem I currently have is fluid [un]loader - it takes at least 5 ce...

Every sprite in the entire game is available for use, as-is or edited

They are in low resolution. I also want vanilla resources in high resolution for modding.

I like to start over. Beginning is the most interesting part. I rarely launch rockets. Automation of Production and Utility science packs is usually my final step.

The time has already come to release new fluid physics. Come on, make a final effort and do it already. You put it off for too long. If you can't wait for features to be implemented, maybe you should stop playing early access games. :mrgreen: Feature?! It's not a feature, it's a major (even critica...

Also, @Klonan, I hope you tweak the icon for the Assemble Mk3, the gears on this one are... not functional. Otherwise, great stuff, as usual. Normally I'd say this is excessive nitpicking, but this is a game about process automation engineering after all. This level of nitpicking could be normal. B...

My main pet peeve with the fluid system currently is that fluids cannot be easily split. This is a modded example, but in my current seablock game I have plastic and resin, both which require 100 units of methanol gas, one liquifier supplies 100 units, in an ideal world both would get 50/50, but in...

wasn't that original terrain type by definition water? Water, Deep water, Shallow water, Green water, .... You can't just hardcode that landfill is reverted to water, it must be a universal algorithm of terrain type modification. I'd say each tile must contain stack, but I don't know how much data ...

We need new fluid physics! It is the most important feature of 0.17, but priority is given to remnants, pollution and rail building.
I can't make long-term designs of chemical plants and nuclear reactors without final fluid throughput tests.

I believe the problem is that per-tile data is very heavy. Currently for each tile 2 layers are stored : terrain and flooring. Revertible landfill needs third layer to be stored. Doesn't it already have that data somewhere? If I landfill something and mouseover with landfill, the tile overlay is gr...

How exactly containers could be bottlenecks? All operations have well known difficulty : O(1), O(logN), O(N). STL containers are simple as stick. They are very poorly designed, but not slow. What exactly do you need? Vector and map. If you are constantly removing elements from a middle of a vector, ...

Usually I'm playing without aliens at all. Recently I've played one standard map, made sure that aliens are annoying weaklings, and started new peaceful game again.

Cancel with ctrl+z - yes, definitely.
Invert with mining - no, not a basic landfill. We need separate, more advanced and expensive type of landfill (some deck) that can be mined to restore water.
