By the way: Where can you see the sales? Haven't seen a number so far.

Doesn't look too bad to me :P But I know what you mean. I love to discover stuff on my own, but i also go ahead and look around a lot, to get inspiration or ideas for new or optimized stuff. No need (and often times no chance) to discover EVERYTHING on my own; the integration on the other hand is my...

https://forums.factorio.com/wiki/ This will help you with most questions you have. Also, i would recommend to play at least the first three or four campaign missions, as they function like a tutorial. You'll see a functioning steam engine there (and if i remember correctly you have to add another on...

I don't know how often the "stopping" happens, but that could be the autosave. Try deactivating that (to test it, at least). I at least turned the frequency down a little bit. A save all five minutes is enough IMO

Oh, too bad Didn't have the spare cash this month for a higher tier. Well, nevermind then, thanks anyway.

Well, 3-5 years of development are pretty normal for a game. I sure know that it's been developed for a while now :) But you are right, I phrased that wrong. It's not that early in development, but it's still a while until release, so I meant to say this game is still young. Sure, we could have join...

The game just "came out of the closet", so to speak. They did not advertise it so far, to get development to a better point (afaik). In their last blog post they wrote that they plan to release the game as finished product in summer 2015, so it's still pretty early in development. A steam ...

The Starbound forums also use Tapatalk (if i remember correctly). I installed the app for that. It's okay i guess; a good alternative to browsing a forum with an internet browser on the phone for sure.

To sell promo stuff like that isn't that expensive or difficult to do, there are many shops that specialize in producing and/or selling something like that. Can't find the Terraria shop that they used to sell their shirts once (as example), but it is more a matter of designing some stuff and finding...

I think the price jump is totally okay, even more when the game gets multiplayer. And while I wouldn't wait for release in summer 2015 before I get this game on steam, I would at least wait until multiplayer is working correctly. That's a big selling factor.

Yea I liked Quill18's video much better he pretty much always does at least an hour or two of research before he starts any recording though. It as Quill's video that got me to buy the game it also lead me to doing a search for more Factorio playthroughs which lead me to Stuff+'s channel that I hav...

Well, I don't think that kind of game will see THAT many trolls and haters as other titles, but that's just a guess... Every community has some black sheeps sooner or later, but there are kinds of games that pull them in like flies... I hope we won't see that here, but I am optimistic in that regard...

As for one I expect what sips did will help the sales. I actually bought the game when i saw his first vid about it. He linked the page of Factorio so i started by checking out the page and seeing the trailer ( And even without that i found it interesting just as he talked about it) So, thank you S...

While you will run out of resources eventually, it can take a long time. I play around with freeplay options right now, and if you set the resource richness to high or very high, you can let your factory run for hours without it shutting down. Even if that happens, you should be fine; as long as the...

Hi there Devs! I just saw that there are some beautiful artworks on the Factorio homepage (if you click "Game"). Is it possible to get them in a higher resolution? I really like to decorate my desktop with them, but the versions on the homepage are simply too small

Thanks in advance!

Don't forget the trailer. I came to Factorio after Rock, Paper, Shotgun posted a news about the new trailer. I loved it the instant i saw it

One thing that bothers me is that one can't turn the burner-drills one creates in the beginning into something else and thus have those three stupid burner-drills forever in your inventory. :-( I put down a chest somewhere in my starting area where i drop all the old stuff I don't use anymore (smal...

I look at some of the things people have made and compare it to my save and wonder have I done anything right. Do you guys start off similar or am I behind? Take your time, pal. In one of my first games, i was trying to optimize the production of a single product for like 2-3 hours straight, and it...

I got to oil for the first time in my current factory. I planned a lot of space for it, and i went with a block of 4x4 storage tanks for oil, and 2x2 storage tanks for heavy and light oil and petroleum (got that up to 3x4 or something a bit later in the game, though). Even if you can't split the oil...

Can't you simply restart in the menu? Or does that create a completely new map? EDIT: Oh well, I just tried, and it doesn't seem to work :( Well, maybe there is a possibility to do it, but i don't know it then. Like I said, it should be possible for sure after one of the next patches, but I know tha...
