Then set your own challenges to accomplish.

[...] Is it possible to make a mod using the game's mechanics and put it in another setting like let's say you are a farmer and can you focus on delivering x number of crops and processed products or you are working on a car or lumber industry and can you make a production line that is optimal and ...

Let's hope you get well soon and your condition stays fine.
"Gute Besserung!"

Kind regards,

Ok, the following translations will now get approved: Burner inserter → Befeuerter Greifarm Inserter → Greifarm Long handed inserter → Langer Greifarm Fast inserter → Schneller Greifarm Smart inserter → Intelligenter Greifarm I always was against the "Knickarmroboter" because of the lengt...

That's why I said it might rather be called a portable species detector or something.

Probably it makes more sense to see it as a long range detector for alien life forms. That would explain higher costs.

You are right if you look at the way most companies sell there products. I think when the Euro sign is behind the price it is more like the way people talk: "This product costs 10 Euros." So I think it is not this important to change it and if you look at the website of Minecraft, there it...

Yeah that would be cool feature. Plus you could create a temporary blinking point on the map to show other players where to go next or something like that.

The quote is from the topic for texture request: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=14825 That turret is great, but it cant fire over walls ... so as base defend its useless. Can you fix that? You should bring discussion over to the mod thread. But to answer your question, no...

I only got to know about this after a few days of playing, when i dragged it by coincidence. But I am never really using it.

Realistically, in 90%+ of all cases, damaged buildings will be automatically repaired by bots, so hardly anyone will see these effects past the early game. Seems like a lot of work for very little added value. May be, may not. As i said smoke effects would be not this hard to implement. And what is...

Yeah we were discussing which sorts of power tools and further tools to bridge the gap between ordinary tools and power tools could be implemented in the game. Please have a look at this topic: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=14886 So I think we could kind of merge this top...

Some website layouts just have it. And it's a good marketing startegy in most cases to have the people associate other good games with this particular game.

I don't know your map, but as spawners absorb pollution to evolve the spawners areas often are not marked red, when pressing ALT du to the absorbtion.
So this could be a reason, if you have enemy bases at the border of your polluted area.

The idea is good, but as John already said it is not top priority.
But I think certain buildings could emit smoke if damaged. And this smoke could be an additional source of pollution and attract more biters and so on.

[...] I agree with the fuel consumption...but what would the incentive be to 'upgrade'? Faster mining speed? A mining tool that consumes fuel doesn't sound like the coolest thing in the world.(from a gameplay perspective. I like the idea as a concept) As I proposed a wider building and deconstructi...

Did you try hovering over them and shooting them with a SMG and maybe armor-piercing rounds to speed up the process?

Translations have moved to crowdin ( https://crowdin.com/project/factorio ), so you should make your suggestions there. That said, I've noticed that on crowdin many terms have only one translation which is already rated very high. Terms that have two or more translations usually have one very highl...

[...] I probably sound like a nube(and feel like one too, even though I have 70+ hours in the bag), but could you explain (or point me at a forum page that will) what those calculations are and how to calculate them? Thanks in advance. I am relatively new to the g...

Hello, I went through all item names in the game (version 0.11.22) while having the german locale enabled for this purpose. In the following there is a list with all terms which are strange in my opinion as a German native speaker. I would be interested in what other people think about my suggestion...

The idea of a progression from Laser to Plasma Drills is good. A progression like in XCOM: Enemy Unknown. There should be a difference between a mining drill powered by fuel and one powered by electricity. In the first you would have to insert some kind of fuel via right clicking, the latter would r...
