Re: Friday Facts #361 - Train stop limit, Tips and tricks

The Tips looks great, though I feel VERY STRONGLY that you do not hide tips from the user. If anything, add a little dot or animated icon next to the pertinent ones, or ones most recently related to progress in the game. However, I ask you most sincerely not to hide information from the player. [.....

Keeping the last 5-10 deleted blueprints somewhere in blueprint library could solve this problem. "Don't confirm, allow undo"
True, some sort of trash bin would be a really obvious solution (though it wouldn't help for corruption or update issues).

Re: Friday Facts #358 - Alien decoratives & Polluted water

I really like the idea of polluted water, good stuff! But please tweak the color of it a bit such that it looks more like polluted water and less like a spinach smoothie. :)

Re: Version 0.18.37

I love this new blueprint library, but I just have few comments: -I though that "Select new content" for a blueprint was to add new content, not to replace current content by new content. -I tried to press C to cancel it... But this is not a cancel button... I actually had to laugh at thi...

Re: Version 0.18.37

one remark: copy icon for blue prints is using the letter "C", wouldn't it be much better visually to just use the "usual" copy icon, like two sheets of paper one in front and one in the back? That was also my thought, it would fit better with the other icons and would make it l...

Thanks for recommendations. Btw, you probably missed this http://kovarex.com/2048/ :)
I find the crafting recipe for research labs to be a bit convoluted ;p.
Can somebody bet more? :D
Done :P

Re: Friday Facts #356 - Blueprint library for real

Could you apply the descrition box for combinators ? So each placed combinator have option to add a description what is his role. It is years asked feature, mainly to prevent re-invent wheel feel, when come back to old/imported scheme. The blueprint of an combinator creation have to contain (potent...

Re: Friday Facts #356 - Blueprint library for real

What a pleasant surprise to see improvements coming to the blueprint library before 1.0. And even 2 minutes before what I could already see becoming Factorio Saturday Facts. :) Thank you for this very interesting insight into your life and thoughts. It's nice to hear you managed to find new motivati...

Amusingly, handcrafting is also the only time you'd never have reason to calculate timings in your head. You forgot speedruns :P I can't imagine both expecting a speed run to go well, and relying on calculating hand crafting times in my head while on a clock. Of course, I can't really imagine mysel...

I just realize how it's really weird that the searchbar background takes on the same color as headlines when you click it. And also because of the color the mod author name draws more attention than the mod title above it.

Re: Friday Facts #352 - New website

I think the new website looks very nice overall, though there are a few things I want to give feedback on: The blog design is a step back compared to the old design, especially in terms of typography and spacing. This may apply to other parts of the website as well, but specifically for the blog I t...

Re: Friday Facts #352 - New website

Obligatory solution to the arrow button problem: JSFiddle :) But obviously it's super fiddly to match all the different parts and sizes. I would suggest to just make a SVG image of the whole button and then embed the code of it (maybe as base64) into the CSS (possibly that's what you already meant, ...

Re: Friday Facts #348 - The final GUI update

I agree with Drury, there is a difference between preference and being playable at all. If you're not careful, "literally unplayable" takes on a new meaning for colorblind players... :) I mean, allowing mods the ability to improve on it is certainly a good thing, but they shouldn't be the ...

Re: Friday Facts #348 - The final GUI update

That is the only feature that needs to get implemented to fix the usability issues for all color-blind and contrast/brightness sensitive/requiring players instead of fixing the problem for the most mainstream or loudest minorities only. To be fair, 5% of humans have some colorblindness, 8% of men -...

Re: Friday Facts #348 - The final GUI update

The colorblind circuit network mod is a fantastic example. It changes red and green wires to blue and yellow. This is great on multiple levels: First, most colorblind people can distinguish between blue and yellow. Second, the ones who can't and maybe even see the world in literal shades of gray st...

How does more saturation help colorblind people? But more importantly, colorblind-friendly colors should just be an option in the settings.
