Another friday, another facts: https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-103

Really like the way factorios graphics are evolving. More Please

[sillyfly]

A secret octopedal project? That's intriguing!
Hmm... a new enemy type, of the arachnaid family? Or maybe a new type of crawling combat robots?

[roman566]

I would really like to see a 'bunker' style turret for the late game defense. It does not matter what it it's armed with, it just needs tons of HP to survive the end game waves long enough for laser turrets to clear them out. Maybe even an option for slow self repair in form of putting repair packs as 'ammo' inside it.
Laser turret with shields? For outposts where player does not want to spam roboports and supply repair packs.
Maybe even something working like roboport but for combat drones?

[irbork]

That being said, we won't really need any sweets for a very very long time

You will be surprised to see how fast those sweets disappear in a hard working environment.

Rseding91 is a pretty swell guy!

I really like the idea of the self repairing (slowly) turret using repair packs. maybe use a research to unlock that after robots?

As to the snacks that is a small care package. But maybe I am skewed

As an American, those sweets are going to last for only a week.

Oh, and you may want to buy scooters.

And camo hats.

And MP5's.

And Eagles.

THIS STEEL FURNACE LOOKS AMAZIN

[Drury]

Here's hope he takes a look at the stone furnace also, it quite literally looks ancient. As in, it's like something egyptians would use

agreed, but not a priority right now.

[oLaudix]

Now ill never upgrade from steel to electric furnace. Thanks a lot Albert ....

[Kewlhotrod]

New graphic looks nice and all, but I would like it to be prehaps an upgrade to the current one we have.

also, give me this turret already!! or let me rts my mass production of tanks and cool logistics!

[DerivePi]

What, no Hershey chocolate bar? As for quantity, our Holloween tradition is (was) to fill a pillow case or two full of candy.

It's fancy, but it could be even more fancy with a little higher resolution...

Yes, I agree ! The graphics are evolving nicely, a lot of the sprites in-game are becoming more clear and distinctive. I am also excited to see what the new features entails ! As always the progress of the game is coming along quite nice.

Well, considering it's build from stone what would you else expect?

[SomeDuder]

semi secret mini project with 8 legs

I really hope it's a new enemy (even though we got the spitters not that long ago) - we really need an enemy that's either FAST (faster than a biter, at least) and weak OR is slow but tough - main idea would be that they are able to climb over our walls and get inside of our factories to fuck shit up. Nowhere would be safe. But I suppose this'd be quite hard to get the balance right with.

A new vehicle isn't necessary (Tank is already OP as it is) and not "realistic" (I know...) and I can't imagine anything else beside arachnids or vehicles that has 8 legs.

[indjev99]

The new furnace looks amazing!

[Weresmilodon]

I'm still hoping those 8leggers are mining bots.

Seriously, with how important mining is to the game, there should be more options to it.
