I think artifacts should have some use, even if it'S optional. That's because battling the roaches is, in my opinion, an integral part of gameplay. Sure, it gets boring after a while, but that's a solvable problem, right? What htey should be used for is a different question. Like, do you use them fo...

It's suggested to keep it at one proposition per post, lest they all be forgotten.

Who says pop anymore?

You mean like solar freakin' roadways?
The thing that made the news fro quite some time a while ago, until their ineffectivity was proven?

I like how you said "light oil should be a more vivid green, lubricant a more vivid yellow", when in reality it's the other way round. Anyway, I changed the icons like you requested. Just put them into gamefolder/data/base/graphics/icons/fluid. If you needthe other icons changed as well, j...

Congratulations on being the umpteenth person to suggest this.

I don't get the crawlers. Are they supposed to upgrade buildings? Because sometimes a yellow belt is better. Just randomly upgrading belts could prove to be a major resource sink where it doesn't need to be. The 1/60s delay is anything but arbitrary, because that's just how many times the game updat...

Well, that's a lot of suggestions in a single post.
Which is usually ill-advised, as that makes them more likely for them all to be forgotten.
That said, I believe a lot of them have either been suggested before or discussed in the Friday Facts.
Therefore, there's a chance these will be implemented.

While in general, the oil production is modeled pretty accurate, there is one thing that bugs me (but that is not unique to Factorio, it's basically in all games that handle oil production).

What other games are you thinking of?

I thought he was only suggesting it because he doesn't know about those games.
Nevertheless, I'm not sure there can be a version that actually works. Building factories that make self-controlled attack robots, sure- but then you'd just have a regular RTS.

If you want to play that game, why not just play League of Legends or DoTA? It'S the same concept, and I dare say it's way better than any equivalent you could ever write for Factorio.
BTW, the official name of the genre is Multiplayer Online Battle Arena or MOBA for short.

Hey, I'm a German too, I used to make that same mistake. I was thinking of special types of highly volatile explosives that can only be produced and stored in a cold environment. On the other hand, volcanoes could be used for geothermal energy production. (There's no such thing as an energyreactor. ...

You misspelled words in such a way that I infer you're a German.

Might need a better incentive to build in the icelands in the first place. Maybe to naturally cool certain (new) machines which would otherwise explode?

...and by that I mean: The ability to determine what an assembler will make before it's built, turning machines using R, and even wires.

1) Exists as a mod. I know many people would prefer it to be in vanilla, but that would defeat the purpose of mods, don't ya think? 2) Often discussed. Like, really often. 3) Interesting. Could also be tied in into some form of terraforming arc. 4) Discussed in the algae farm thread. An interesting ...

I can help... a little bit, at least.
I made changes to the graphics of the wires. They are a lot more visible now. It also makes them look more ugly.
Simply place these in Factorio/data/core/graphics, and tell me if it helps.
As for the roboport visualization, could you be more specific?

Thank you so much for this! I was getting stuck on New Hope 2 because the game would lag as soon as the objectives box popped up after achieving "Automated Rail" research. I was kind of dissapointed in being unable to finish the campaign without cheating. Speaking of which, anyway to tone...

What caused that perormance issue anyway?
It was a weird issue- pressing F5 seemed to temporarily solve it, for example.

Just discovered the issue. For unknown reasons, activating F5 fixes it.

So, wait, do you consider 0.12.24 a stable build, as that's what it has downloaded and I haven't activated experimental builds in Steam yet?

Don't forget the higher tier supporters!
I would suggest that you give them the soundtrack for free, but the music files are already in the base game, unencrypted and for anyone to use.
Although, I bet that's going to change soon.
