DLC is a BAD IDEA Sorry to be blunt, but DLC is a bad idea. DLC is for AAA money-grabbing schemes. If Factorio releases an update so large that it is possible to be contained in DLC, It should be included in the game, and perhaps increasing the cost of the game. Paying once provides a much better g...

Rivers/streams? They would add some really nice charater to the landscape! But what should happen to a car that runs over a stream at full speed?

Introduce pheromones and smell... https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3440 The biters are a bit like insects - ants - which follow pheromones. That makes their behavior more plausible. And the biters are then no longer an enemy. They are the natives. The idea is great, because...

Well done good sir!

You can make "signs" on the map by putting down a train stop and naming it.
I would like some sort of sign that allows us to label the map and not the current workaround of a train stop.

There is talk amungst the devs about adding the ability to manipulate water, cross it, etc, although it will probably not be implemented any time soon.
in the meantime, we will have to make do with the landfill mod: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... t=landfill

There's nothing "simple" about creating a completely new game layer with its own set of rules. This is expansion pack tier. I made a huge 500 word rand on another thread, but I dont think that it would be appropriate to put it here. Instead, here is a summary; DLC= Bad. This is AAA game i...

Can you not see all of the online players connected to a server or hosted world?

Agreed. As long as you can hit the "Yeah, I meant to do this" button with enter, it should not be too much of a problem.

I support having the camera centered in front of cars and trains, although it might be a little bit nauseating.

I think having the character always in the middle of the screen adds some character to the game that a lot of other games lack.

Hello! I am looking for a English-speaking person(or a few) to play near-daily multiplayer with. I have a personal dedicated server to set up world on, and would like to play with someone to create a very large factory and production. I would like to play with very small mods that add a single item ...

To be able to help you we need to know more information, such as Game version, Computer specs, etc.

This is probably a dumb question, but have you tried re-starting your laptop and opening factorio with no programs running in the background? Also, when you are experiencing the lag,press ctrl+shift+esc to open the task manager, and see if any program is taking up A. a lot of processing power or B. ...

I think that there is gun turret speed upgrade

Actually, I think that you misremembered the gun turret speed upgrade by confusing it with the bullet shooting speed upgrade.

And is there any way to increase it short of optimizing the factory ? I am already on a 64 bit program. Short of optimising the factory, you can buy a faster computer or wait for a future version and hope we'll optimize it some more. I just explored really far north(Like REALLY far- 40 minutes in a...

Or are we talking about low fps/stuttering?

I have a pet peve of distinguishing the two when talking with, say, other people I am playing with as they are two very different things and have very different solutions.

So what value should I want the ups to be? And is there any way to increase it short of optimizing the factory ? I am already on a 64 bit program.

This game can run an almost any PC without lagging, as long as your factory is not insanely large.
What are your computer's specs?

This is really darn good. the chapters are a little short, but they have really good content.

but you know what this game really needs? microtransactions, and instead of the amazing traditional factorio gameplay and theme, lets use our precious development time to add sims type gameplay to appeal to a wider audience. http://giphy.com/gifs/Pch8FiF08bc1G (I really hope what you said Kewlhotro...
