Kudos to the devs for being so responsive and open to the community, unreally fast in churning out updates, and also totally ruining my spare time... Thank you anyway...

Also nice to see factorioBot got upgraded to hires :)

So, in https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-217 twinsen mentioned overhauling the "expensive recipes" mutator.
To balance all this out, the plan is to change some some recipes in expensive mode, so that the required copper to iron ratio is roughly the same in normal and expensive mode. Then the map generator settings will be tweaked so it also reflects that ratio (of course while keeping in mind the difference caused by overlapping resources).
Any ETA on that?

Also, a fast suggestion i've been missing since 0.15: Allow manual input of map parameters instead of sliders. Because goddamn i hate not being able to set a round number.

When 0.16 was released I got back to playing my old save; went from 20 UPS to 40+++.

Now with 0.16.3 and quite a few hours of play, suddenly it's back down to 20 UPS, or less. The only new thing I've done is deploy artillery turrets.

Hi Factorio !

Really great update ! just one thing really weird :/
The shell ! Why not the same for all guns ? And what is that WTF receipe of artilery shell ? A radar inside each shell ? Could be better to put like 5x radar in the turret ? More logical no ? And artilery could shot the uranium explosive shell too ?

Thks to consider my idea :)
Just a big fan of Factorio and all its mods

the artillery shell also explores so it's logical that it needs a radar

Plus, the artillery is pitched as flying toward a target location, as opposed to other weapons we have which are all entirely dumbfire (unguided) - though I guess some of the rockets do consider distance. Whether the artillery shell itself is able to make course adjustments isn't specified (though there are RL bullets/shells that do), but as a more advanced projectile, there are enough excuses for it to use more sensory input (even if just for altitude measurement for an airburst detonation) and thus warrant the radar.

Plus, probably some gameplay material-cost rationale. Dasiro's point about exploring is probably the strongest argument for why the radar "make sense within Factorio's world", though.
