Sooner or later nests will be created near your defense line … Even worse, it's possible worms are created right outside your turret range but inside their own spitting range, so they will destroy your defense while not being attacked themselves. That is not true if you play on the railworld preset...

hello, what is the best defense? It depends on what you want to optimise: At high enough laser damage and shooting speed research, all you need is a single line of laser turrets. Flamethrower turrets are probably the most efficient in damage per turret and cost of firing. Normal turrets are the eas...

wake me up when they fix the rocket silo

I agree: bugs that affect gameplay should be fixed before bugs that no one has heard of are.

Wow, this is amazing.

How do I decide this value?

It depends how much product you want to make.

You can really pick any number that seems reasonable.

I feel like the rocket silo just needs a rework in general: The irritating timings (This topic) The strange power consumption (https://forums.factorio.com/93176, https://forums.factorio.com/78854) The inability to insert more than one inserter hand of fish at a time (https://forums.factorio.com/78854)

I think it would help a lot to add mini poles that you place just to route the wires through them.
…
Implemenation wise the power poles could be electric poles with 0 copper connections and 0 height.

I use constant combinators with no signals as “mini poles”

Wasn't there a rich text syntax to set font color? Yes, the wiki article linked above shows how: https://wiki.factorio.com/Rich_text Under "Text modifiers" Syntax: [color=rgb]...[/color] [color=#rrggbb]...[/color] [color=#aarrggbb]...[/color] [color=rgb]...[.color] [color=#rrggbb]...[.col...

They could also just add something more specific to the credits. There is already this general message: "One very big thank you goes to the whole Factorio community, namely on the Factorio forums, on Steam, and on Reddit. - They have been testing experimental versions and found many bugs. - The...

You can always use the PickerDollies mod to help spread things out & make them more readable.

Why is the now-removed lamp power consumption not a minor issue (https://forums.factorio.com/100109), but this much larger gameplay changing (when launching space science packs for fish it is impossible to insert more than ten because the rocket will launch without power) bug is considered a minor i...

Something to mess with your heart rate late at night.

IMO it should stay as a mod. I'd rather have more control over electricity from the modding API to reduce the effect of the Electric Network. I'm still thinking of a good modding interface request to make to achieve this, so if anyone has ideas please share :P I think that there should just be an i...

If I play and the map grows beyond 10MB then that means I can still play but never upload a map again, right?

Yes, the size limit only applies to uploading.

and are the only thing you can use to send manual circuit signals without opening up a combinator interface.

you can also rotate an inserter that reads hand contents, but that only works for pulses.

There is no need to make the game easier … I constantly have to make sure that he does not start shooting in an arbitrary place, but only where I need it. Yes. This is hard. But we are not looking for easy ways in this game? Factorio is not a game about micromanagement or constant monitoring. Were ...

+1 It seems like everyone wants this, & it can be annoying to have the artillery train required to be far away when you are not ready for it yet.

I know I can play with larger starting area or put biter evolution low but those are workarounds because I still want biters to level and I'd be too op at certain times if biters are levelling slow the whole playthrough. This does not answer your other question, but for this reason I like to set ti...

Some criteria to feed into the algorithm:

• how the license was bought
  …
• forum activity

Why should the way the license was bought or forum activity affect the trustworthiness of an account?

Could the server account for the ban reason, the ratio of banned to unbanned players, or employ some other set of criteria to weight bans? Some multiplayer games (especially on modded games where few people ever try to join) will ban every joining player instead of using a password.
