Also, due to the fact that there is no real competetive/PvP part in the game, you don't have all the "class X is OP !!!" and so on complaints.

In game, I see quite often swearing and crying on bigger public maps: most of it is, when a single person starts to sabotage stuff, or two people have ...

As long as you aren't building megabases, any medium class PC should do well.

If you plan anything like i7-7700k + Gfx 980 or better, + random ssd + 16 GB, you should be safe for whatever you do - if your PC hits this level, the only thing that can limit you would be a bad connection

When the blueprint/book, is big and is being transferred while the player is already holding it, it can't be moved to inventory/quickbar,

You could solve this type of problems by simply disabling the blueprint button until the loading of blueprints is completed.

Confirmed. You can give multiple stations the identical name and the game conciders them as equal lanes within one station.

This last update changed a lot in my current game. The physical size of my boiler more than tripled and since I had 13 of them in a small space that would now fit only 3 upgraded boilers, all of my electricity network went down and I am forced to physically change all of my boilers to produce steam ...

The Friday Facts is the thing that connects you to the loyal playerbase, that just loves your dedication to this game. It makes us understand why some things take longer then the average player would expect, and gives us a really interesting look into the daily work of a game developer.

Its also possible that your internet connection itself is the limiting factor, especially if others with worse hardware have better performance on the same map.

I'm not sure what speed exatly is required to run bigger maps in a usefull way, but for example my connection with 50/10 Mbit (Down ...

well, probably because its most fun to find out yourself whats the best design for that - if you want some inspiration, I'd recommened you just go to a multiplayer server with 10+ people and 10+ hours played, there you usually find pretty nice examples for the various productions in Factorio, and ...

Thats Factorios regular behavious for bigger numbers of missing items - they probably solved it this way to limit the cpu-load to a usefull amount.

Well, I kinda disagree about the "perfect ratio" for accumulators - if you have too many accumulators, you simply gain a bit of "headroom" in case you get some bigger biter waves in the night. So in case you have some empty spaces, simply add more accumulators and you are fine.

Its working well the way it does right now - a problem would be a situation where you can get stuck in the research tree, but the worst that can happen here is that you need to research another recipe to make something work. Not really a problem.

Also, there is one really usefull thing you should use circuits for: to make sure that the enrichment only works until you have around 1:20 ratio for U-238 vs U-235 as you don't want all of your low uranium converted

This ... recursive fab ... is ... INSANE !!!!

I have exactly 1 Tip for you:

Whatever you build, THINK BIG !!!
(= In the long term, you need insane amounts of most stuff, so plan ahead and make sure to build everything in a scalable way. This eans especially refinerys, cracking, smelting, chip building)

Tbh, all that I'm missing is the "not" condition for a filter inserter, so it can for example grab everything that is not iron, copper, coal.

No I didn't know you could do that. How do you do it?

Just hold the book in your cursor like you're going to build with it and then use the hotkey to scroll through it.

Well, for a good reason, you can name Blueprints and give them an icon. When you open the blueprint book, you can see these ...

his point, however rudely put, is accurate though. new Art is not preventing new content. one is not the bottleneck for the other.
the game is as it is until 1.0. expect cleanup and minor changes until then.

if you want new content, look at some of the total rewrite mods.

So far, any base I've seen that had problems with too much light oil and petroleoum made a very basic mistake: lack of control of the cracking process.

The most simple condition to control is is the following:
Cracking Heavy to Light Oil:
Heavy Oil > Light Oil

Cracking Light Oil to Petroleum ...

But first of all, I ask myself why we need to be able to grab robots out of the sky at all??? There may be a very rare occassion now & then, where you want something like that, but most of the time, you'd never even concider this. Usually, you'd just just grab them out of a roboport.

(Btw, if ...
