Never underestimate the "value" of even a single icon. Over 1000€ (~ 1350$) is not unrealistic. That's maybe not the real value, but some kind of "we want money from you. much money."

Use the combat shootgun with piercing munition. Some upgrades and this weapons tears even big worms down. But you need some modular armor for it: portable fusion generator with ca. 5 mobile mk II shields. Firstly concentrate on the spawner: Get in, a few shoots for a spawner, and retreat back to reg...

oh, that could end very bad... Never "just use" a picture from a side if you are not sure it is not copyrighted.
Is this icon free to use even for commercial products? If not: That's very risky, better change it immediately. Lawsuits can be a very expensive affair to deal with!

As for the bridge I can picture that seeing the lower train earlier will look better. Though the "surprise effect" was intended. How about making the "train sound" before the train comes over the bridge? (the horn, whistle, don't know the right english name. Just the warning sou...

I TRY to use only solar power, but that's pretty hard. I have huge amounts of solar power in the end, but not enough for the whole base through the night. But this time I want to try a real solar base. ^^

Using a picture is much more work than just some code. The problem with the large code (no hand-copy) also applies here.

How??? o_O


Well, the COULD be the need to hand-copy the code, but well... ^^

Why do you want to limit the code to a few lines / even 40 character?


If you insist on this, make it configurable: Short version with a maximum of two lines / 40 characters and a long version with ca. 10 Lines with max 80 character per line.

That's one of the reasons to use base64: The big wall of garbage can easily be skipped. Or we use the spoiler tag in this forum. emZpZWp5YXV2aGNuendrZGpzcHJjZmlqbmRnZnpwcGdqcGJyd3R2Y2dmd3Zra3hidXlsb3VqZ3VydGRm d2dxeXJ0cmpuZmxkem1pcnVlbmxxbmlvbWJoZGx3bWljbHJlbWdjcmZ6amx5aXhzcnpxbGlxcWdhZHRw b3B1c3Zib...

The quality of the video has to be better for the final release. Scrolling appears blurry in this version.

It's hard to understand what happens. There are so much things the viewer wants to look at. (For someone who has never played factorio, and a bit for experienced players.)

I see no reason to have the features of the code limited through the character count. To paste the code into factorio from a web site should be no problem, even if the code is pretty large. But even when there is a reason: Why setting the lenght to a fixed value? How about being able to switch mods ...

Setting the health bar above the building in alt mode should be sufficent.

Many mods don't change anything on the world generation. There is no need to store this mods in the code. The total lenght has not to be consistend. More mods = longer code. Here is a fast example. It can be reduced much in size with constant values for special names like "frequency" or ju...

The problem is: There are power poles and belts between the mining drills, moreover the ore field is not rectangular.

I mean see the area of EVERY mining drill already placed. To see which area is not already covered or double covered.

It would be nice to see the area where other miner already mine, when we want to build another miner.

That was exactly what I was thinking. I didn't mention it because i thought: "Well, that's already now possible, just not as easy." ^^

How about a special code, which stores every configuration of a map and the random seed? This would make exchanging maps much easier, because you did not have to download a map.
Just for information: (Base64 can encode binary values and doesn't need much space. (Czech) (English))

You do not count. You have created the game and have maybe the fastest time on any mission.

I just wanted to start a new free play (have finished my first in 22 hours ^^)
Perfect timing, kovarex!
