Re: Friday Facts #358 - Alien decoratives & Polluted water
Ooh, a reason to rush out those efficiency modules. Playing a pure green style is a challenge all its own, but it's not impossible to avoid dealing serious damage to the environment. At least, it is quite doable until you start cranking up the marathon death world settings.

Re: Friday Facts #355 - High resolution updates
I'm a bit surprised that so much of the land mine is left behind considering that, you know, they're kinda supposed to explode.

Re: Friday Facts #351 - Beacon re-redesign & Simplified fluid mixing
A troll with grenades or a troll with a nuke can do much more damage than purging your pipe network. It might be okay to give the purge effect some inertia. If it drained the system at a finite (but fast) rate, that gives the player some reaction time to go "oh shi" while still letting pla...

Re: Friday Facts #351 - Beacon re-redesign & Simplified fluid mixing
It's amazing how difficult the fluid mixing system has been to deal with. It probably would have been easier to have a warning icon whenever fluids crash in the pipe network. That and the new pipe flushing system could have taken care of most things.

Re: Friday Facts #348 - The final GUI update
I don't understand the perils of being color blind, but some of the solutions to color blindness fall under the same category as good game design. Palette swaps are generally gross, make sure that in game icons are visually distinct in some way. For example, the 3 types of modules are identical, but...

Re: finally built first silo!
What this means, is to produce all 100 percentage points of the rocket, you only need to supply the silo with 5/7 of the materials, or about 72%. That 40% Productivity translates to a roughly 28% materials savings in terms of parts per rocket. But it's 28% material savings for each step of the way....

Ah, but if you VM a linux machine to host a server, then you can get the fork command in windows for the async save. #bigthink

Re: Friday Facts #347 - New hope demo levels
Over 5 years of optimizing the game to the limits, and it all gets spent on graphical overhauls in a month. Never change, game industry!
I tease, I tease. It's nice to see more shiny things in Factorio. Can't go wrong with shinies.

I do think it would be more interesting if Any% category didn't allow custom seed, while Default Settings category did The any% category tends to be more open and unrestricted. It may as well be called the "anything goes" category because the skips get SO crazy that their subcategories de...

Re: Friday Facts #344 - Tile transition collisions & Team Steelaxe speedrun record
Sometimes people are just wrong on the internet. Don't worry, it happens. :lol: Speedrunning is a very well established community and they have a good set of rules that apply well across games. Most issues between the rule sets are simply resolved by creating categories. For example, what's the deal...

Re: Friday Facts #344 - Tile transition collisions & Team Steelaxe speedrun record.
It's a good thing that planning stages aren't counted as part of the speedrun timing. Otherwise my very first 50 hour run would be in the top running. :lol: But seriously, that takes not just the dedication of doing the run itself, but the countless hours of practice and training to reach the entry ...

Re: Friday Facts #342 - The new old tutorial
It's great that the devs have the guts to make the hard calls, instead of bashing their heads against something that isn't working out. I mean, it also sucks, but that's life I guess.

Re: Friday Facts #341 - Audio, Artillery, Attenuation
I do like that they're going for sounds that don't stick out too hard. An annoying sound effect multiplied by 100 things times dozens of hours would be the stuff of nightmares. Very few sounds really need to stand out in gameplay. The most important sounds would be direct hazards to the base or play...
