Man, you are the 5th poster which lacks reading comprehension or is just baiting, I don't know. And I even reply each time - cliffs are fun, trees are fun, being limited in a game is obviously fun, otherwise there is no progression. What is not fun, is that the cliffs-lavapit-oilpit are the same li...

To be honest, regarding the complexity of the circuits, when it comes to basic stuff like rs-latches, "disable when more than" etc, I must say factorio easily is the most user-friendly system. I recently played minecraft again, and automated some steam turbines, man, it was hell, especiall...

To shipping in water for oil cracking - yeah, I was totally wrong, and got quickly corrected. I just thought that editing a post will be unfair to previous replies, and decided to leave it be as it is. Solid fuel is certainly more than enough to run trains, especially seeing how abundant it is comi...

"Super-fast" at one or two science packs per thirty minutes.

Man you had this conversation in a trillion threads already, does it need to be here as well?

I politely disagree that you wait in factorio. I think that you have something to do all the time, even at megabase scale, but that is of course my personal opinion. While I do not have any reservation regarding the planets, there have been cases where different locations on a basebuilder proved les...

I am not interested in your 'opinion' about my approach to problems since this is a video game about finding your solutions. Good. Now I know you are an absolute troll. Have fun with your "immeasurable suffering" because of overflowing virtual items. There are psychologists who may be abl...

Certainly, I am looking forward to it.

No "landfill" - you now HAVE to build spaghetti for the third time now, because that's obviously such a fun mechanic somehow, being cramped. First the cliffs, then the lava fields, now the oil fields. I don't know, maybe it's me, but the novelty of cliffs wears off 30 minutes after starti...

I absolutely agree with everything that you say. The problem is, that "my spagetti is this way" vs "my spagetti is that way" is not real variation. What this causes, as you say, that this is a playstyle thing, which simply makes one playstyle significantly worse than another one...

Thank you for your condescending reply, I could not have decided myself to buy or not to buy the expansion. I would have bought the expansion even if I did not like anything in it, simply to support the devs, since I have been getting pretty solid content all those years. Funny how you also do not u...

- You need to ship in a resource which is usually abundant and is needed in huge amounts - check. "But you don't have to" - yeah, trains will be burning what then? As far as I got, you can get heavy oil, which you can use to fuel trains? Aside from iron gears, the most frequent item from ...

For those wondering how to eliminate excess ressources, just use a non-quality recycler loop, because without quality modules, recyclers give only 25% of the ressource back. Craft it, recycle again, and you only have 6.25% left. Even better, we can introduce as another "fun" and "eng...

While all of this does look brilliant, I can't say that I am looking forward to it, it's just not fun for me. It's all the mechanics that make SE not fun cramped into one, obviously mandatory, location. - You have to build defensive coverage everywhere you build - check, although this time it seem y...

Help develop the game, not the generic bloatware with features which you'll never use. So you have to jump through 20 hoops to get the same functionality you get through steam, are storage-limited at that, need a microsoft account, need a specific external software running for the sync, but that is...

To install Factorio on Steam, you need to install Steam first, for starts. For pure stand-alone Factorio it's just "unzip and go". If your preferred way of using software is "unzip and go", you have very special interpretation of convenience :D Also, onedrive offers only 5 gigs ...

Now that I rewatched it, the graphics and sounds reminded me of netstorm. Anyone still remember that?

Have you heard of Dwarf Fortress, my friend ? I have, but I am always somewhat reluctant to try it, seems like a very steep learning curve, especially considering the ascii graphics. I have played the offspring, rimworld though, was also good fun. One day I will muster up the strength to play dwarf...

One thing no one is talking about are those cliff-sized alien walls in some areas. They were clearly built by someone. I wonder if a tech coming from this planet is walls 2.0 that are basically buildable cliffs: larger and thicker segments (maybe 2x2 or 3x3) that are damn near indestructible. Seein...

Also, since by purchasing with steam you also get the non-steam version, from a consumer standpoint buying through steam makes more sense.

Buying through Factorio.com gets you a Steam key as well.

Then the matter is resolved, I guess
