Hell I wouldn't even be against adding waste byproducts, provided that we would have the option of 'destroying' them if we wanted for a large quick pollution hit. Perhaps in a way that you could send the rubbish off to a distant place on the map. Grow a massive forest around the place. Then occasio...

Define "clean" as you see it. I see absence of pollution as "being clean" This suggestion is biased towards pollution for a reason: it is my initial suggestion for battling "absence of consequences" outlined better in another thread . I also do not agree with equal bala...

It is an optional mechanic for these, who want to challenge themselves. It can also be used as stepping stone towards more advanced pollution mechanics. Same reasoning "to annoy players" can be as easily applied towards current pollution mechanic, but its not about that. Neither is this su...

There is anti-pollution system in the game - time. Besides that, my suggestion is actually about pollution removal and transportation, not generation - in my first post i suggested this mechanic as an alternative to current pollution meaning you get ether one or the other. not to mention waste dumps...

That was the actual intention - to make everything take as little space as possible, thank you.

I think I've managed to streamline assembly line, that works rather fast without logistic bots. I cant add beacons to it, however it should work fast enough to keep items supplied at the speed of the red belt. Design highlight is in 100% blue belt delivery of copper and iron across the complex. http...

2 Darthlawsuit I don't think recycling is viable in my suggestion: the pollution I was talking about was not from waste per se but from byproducts - You mine ore - you get a ton of dirt and ore drill outputs both for maximum yield of ore, or uses current pollution mechanic for standard output - You...

Tooltip for the Effect of Logistic Robot Speed upgrade shows % bonus as "g%"

Added new number 4: Allow logistic bots to supply gun turrets, and any future ammo-dependent defence systems. I think it will provide decent alternative to other suggestions, as it would allow gun turrets to remain cheap in order to be viable in early game, while retaining some usability in later ga...

I had some biters stop attacking at all as soon as the base was destroyed. They just stood there not moving event when i shot them.

Allow me to expand my points a bit more: 1. There is necessity to build turrets, and there is turret spam one is quite different from other. 2. Biters spawning close: I had biters spawn inside my perimeter when i deconstructed an area in order to improve the design, I also notice biters spawning awf...

I didn't want to say game is doomed. I just stated what points needs to be tackled soon, preferably before steam release in order to achieve maximum effect. Without them Factorio will remain to be a small niche game with many not even knowing of its existence.

Really? I guess i wasn't pressing hard enough. sorry about that.

Had few random suggestions that didn't fit a single theme: 1. Please add Logistics tab or smart inserter tab to storage chests (even without sliders), items present in that tab would be stored inside the chest, allowing dedicated storage chests. 2. At later stages of the game it seems item belts bec...

I still think end game is somewhat lacking to achieve viral effect upon steam release. *edited for clarity* I like the game and really enjoy the concept of factory building, but it feels like the game lacks that "omph" at the end, or what I consider as "end-game". - Turret spam: ...

I am actually more curious about different shades of water in the picture

Is it just graphical only? like ocean\swamp? or somewhat more functional (fresh/salty).....or I dare to say clean\polluted?

I do believe giving player an ability to traverse the water is much more elegant, than adding crutches to the worldgen.

- wooden bridges (allow only player/biter movement)
- stone\steel bridges (allow train/car movement)
- water pumps slowly draining water from lakes.

and so on and so forth.

Of course it isn't. But I don't won't to orchestrate 100-400 turrets. Not fun. It takes more than the double time to place them (bring the belt to them, place power poles, place them). So this idea goes only around the problems. But I don't have a better yet. Then we need large ordnance defence sys...

I don't believe merging 3 different buildings into one is a good idea. This game revolves around modularity, where each piece does one task and only one. It is player task to orchestrate them into one working complex. I see no problem with loading turrets manually in early game - since i go around l...

Sometimes your back is against the wall early on in the game though. Turret creep strategy is already painfully slow and expensive but it can open up resources and salvage terrible starting area luck (desperately needed resources under a biter base early on for instance). Without turret creep strat...
