I have to say I am HUGELY impressed with the amount of progress Factorio has undergone since I last played about 6 - 9 months ago!!!!!!!
The reason I had stopped playing for a while was because I had reached "end game" at the time a couple of times and re playability at the time for me personally was low. so I went of and played some other games for a while... Just came back to play for an hour tonight and I have to say the amount of improvements I have seen in just that hour of gameplay is amazing!!!!! Improvements to graphics and icons, speed and reliability of the game (including auto save), I looked in the forums to see the inclusion of awesome looking endgame stuff!!!! And most of all MULTIPLAYER!!!!!!!!!
The last version I remember playing was 10.X and muliplayer was a long way off...
Your small team at the factorio studio has got FAR more done than the last 12 months than the studio for the game I was regular playing for the last 6 - 9 months and they are a big budget studio...
Anyway end of excited rant...
Keep it up development team!!! I regret losing interest in the game for that period and I am going to make a big effort to get back into the game over the next few weeks/months!!!!
