I have been playing Factorio since mid 2014 and I have to say it is the only game I play now...

I have been a gamer since, well since games were brought to the public..(arcade's. early 1980's)

I personally would like to see the following...

A space station designed as a point where colonists arrive for transport to the surface... Something build able and expandable.. needing communications with the home planet as well as the surface, breathable air as well as cargo space.. But mostly expandable...

A set number of resources would be needed to be shipped to said home planet before the colony ship could even depart.. fuel, material's, FOOD... basic supplies to enable the colonists to make the journey to there new home. The player would also need to build a supply ship for this. Requiring a set number of resources..

Once they arrive they could transfer over to the orbiting station the player built for them, have a set number of colonists in proportion to the initial supplies sent to home planet.. Once they have arrived they can then transfer via shuttle's once again built by the player to the surface where hopefully the player would have housing set up as well as land prepared for a stable food supply. And various other things needed.. (mining, oil workers, tree workers, something to do with the bitters) Again having a set number needed before the colonists could transfer to the planet.. possibly even a decrease in the population if a certain level is not met and maintained for there continued survival...

Once on planet possibly have set job skills for them, where some are farmers or miners or whatever. Have them work towards a sustainable level for the main group of colonists and then have a set number of supplies needed to be shipped back to home planet for another colony ship.. which also leads into more land being prepared on the planet and possibly upgrading and expanding on the orbital platform..

This is by far the single most interesting game where there really is no end to what you can do or accomplish as is evident in the various mods that are being published.. While I am not Tech savy enough to make a mod myself, I have the logistic's background to understand the time and resources this would require... If it was possible to say get the community involved in different aspects of the game.. Alot of mods out there could be integrated into the main game. And even expanded on to some extent.. Payment im sure would not be required but maybe a simple (sorry the word i am looking for is escaping me, its 5am where i am) acknowledgement..

Now I fully understand the complexity of creating a game, but with the community we have developing mods I'm confident most of them would be more than happy to have there work published into the actual game... I know I would if i understood how to make a mod... =)

But as I am sure the Dev's have there own idea's for the future of this remarkable game, I still see them looking to the community for different directions they could possibly go.. Sorry I'm a bit long winded and tend to go on and on..

Thanks A++
