Friday Facts #71 - To the stars

The planet is too small for our industrialisation imperium isn't it?: https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-71

One word at that image: joygasm.

Cue discussion on what is being fed into the silo from the left side...

chemical plants. coal. petroleum gas.

Id say rocket fuel.

[Alfdaur]

Dahm, that does look nice! How big is it, 9x9?

[Smarty]

That looks amazing

[JackGruff]

Wow, guys. I've never been more excited at this game.

Is showing less lines between the roboports still in the works? I remember you talking about it. So that stuff like this doesn't happen: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =40#p60051

Haha...

We released the 0.11.0 exactly 3 months ago. And here we are, 3 months later, still far from the stable release. Our estimate is still the same: just one more month until the stable.

Kovarex stable = Estimation plus (subversion number in weeks)

It looks like 10 height by 9 width to me..

I see 3 different chemical plants and advanced circuits being loaded in.. possibly each type of solid fuel (light, heavy, petro) or as pbhead said rocket fuel since only one of them is active its possible all three are running the same set-up

I request that you give Pavel and Albert a high five for thier efforts. That starport is dead sexy.

I'd say explosives!

That pic == maximum want!

[-root]

nice graphics and all, but that isn't going to replace a bad idea.
still not convinced about the end game stuff. will wait until its released before i condemn the devs.

[Nic]

When can we test out the high res textures you wrote about in the "Friday Facts #64" post?

Also I am curious when you are going to rework the GUI.

Well, if I remember right, they did say that building a ship and leaving is still not the final version of the endgame and it does beat the gray rectangle that starts a countdown that we have now.

The shadow (and the promise from devs not to make rectangular things anymore after the gun turret mess) says this thing is 9x9 fields large.
However the silo buildings at the north side are so tall the overwrite nearly 1,5 fields north of the silo.
So either this is a really nice mockup or "properisch" 3D buildings which can overlap are coming (and hiding everything behind it)

The design also promises enduring sunshine and mild temperatures, otherwise rainwater will accumulate in the opening hatch, that silo drowns and the firecrackers get wet

Got me excited anyway!

[SuperSandro2000]

The pic is amazing! Can't wait. I want it now!!! Hype!

[sacrifice025]

i was hoping space traveling would be a thing at one time there would be a metric F ton of new materials new aliens eventually just living in space in a spaceship or something collecting everything floating around using the sun as some sort of material other then sunlight and or stardust / antimatter i cant wait for the modding comunity going nuts on that one... looking at you dytech and yuoki

[immibis]

Make sure not to fall into the trap of feature creep.

[MagicSaurus]

The silo size is 9x11



* EDIT: size is 9x9 or 9x11 if the shadow is 1 or 2 squares as noted by others.
