I believe they've mentioned that the minimum yield from fields has been raised which should help some.
There is also this from the imgur album
The refineries at the bottom left are utilizing a new 0.15 recipe - coal liquefication to get more oil for the price of coal.

Do we get a preview of the science recipes at all? Or will we have to jump in blind on Tuesday?

edit: Unless you've saying they haven't changed from the previous preview. But the previous ones I thought were merely suggestions, and I wasn't all that thrilled with them and assumed they'd be tweaked.

The world has never seen dev's like you before. You accually care about your game and keep updating the game after selling a lot of copies. I got so much respect after you and i want to shake hands of every single one of you. I burried my 500 hours into this game and it seems the number is going to be at least 4 digits before even v1.0.

Well done, thank you!

Looks awesome with some nice QoL feature like rocket autolaunch :D
Belting the science center will be challenging with so much different science packs though...

O H M Y G O D

I am so excited!!
I only launched a rocket once and it was without the satellite... you know, you should always bring a towel ;)


Starting a new map always gets me emotional. I still remember around three years ago... starting up a map without knowing anything... and getting crushed by biters after an hour. I remember looking this up and trying to sell it as a bug. It was so frustrating!
.. <*time warp*> .. 800h game play experience starting new maps eventually gets routine. Well, not this time and I'm gonna enjoy it!


Dear kovarex, dear FACTORIO dev team, thank you so much for this awesome game!

They have been tweaked a bit, but also many ingredient's redipes have been tweaked, and due to the other many changes, I would suggest to just wait as it isn't just 'this is that now' but a complete package where many things are related.

Seeing an auto-launch in rocket silo and nuclear power mentioned in one post, I wonder - yet again - can we have a rocket that IS SUPPOSED TO hit the ground? :)

@Gecko - heh, starting a new map, it's hard to transfer for me (So only a burner drill, huh? Got it, we'll manage. Where is that chest with coal dump? Oh, right...) :P

So two things.

What is the specs on the machine running the linked imgur album factory? o.o

And can we get that factory released to the public? I really want to see will/xterm/mojo do a factory fixit on the factory :D

You mentioned in your replicating wall description that "the blueprint was not laid automatically"

Is this capability in 0.15, is is planned ever ? or will we still need a mod for that function.

Don't worry I'm not complaining, just curious.

It looks nice, no really .... :D

Am I the only one who thinks that the new electric mining drill graphics doesn't seem to fit that well onto the ground surface? They seem to hover or to be too 3d.
Anybody knows what I mean?

Amazing people!

Did not expect the nuclear warhead although I had been dreaming about it for a while ;)

One thing: The new crafting menu. I see that it is translucent. Could we have an option to set the degree of transparency? Or at least 2 or 3 presets?

Oil yield has been increased significantly and is usually no longer a big problem.
