Kostriktor's Wishlist

[Kostriktor]

my wishlist to the Factorio-team;
Chainsaw! To fast-cut trees in mid-late game and maybe a strong melee attack [ you can craft laser-turrets! why wouldn't you craft a 2stroke chainsaw? : ) ]
-Enhanced HUD-functions, giving way more information about your character [health in numbers, shield amount in numbers, recharging speed in numbers ]
-Charcater-Statistic-Screen displaying information such as; actual running speed, resistances, regeneration and so on
-Alien-races [desert aliens, wood aliens, hill aliens, sea aliens, mountain aliens, cave aliens and so on ]
-Pipecross valves, to effectively cross different liquids/gasses without having your refinery messed up
-Forest Fires bigger ! deadlier !
-Driving upgrade. Drive towards mousepointer for highly precise steering.
-More Vehicles : ) maybe some kind of a Mech or Heavy Armor Suite (semi-implemented with spidertron)
-Howitzer ! (implemented)

This is part of the whole save- and load-game discussion.
Cause the better way is obviously to save the game even while combat, but the player doesn't realize it.

A linklist for this is todo, but it may take a while.

Thanks

Sorry, but you get three separate autosave files. I don't see how you could mess up that badly that all three save files cannot be used.

... if you turn it off ?...

im positive that adding a character screen with more info about your character would help newer players to ambient faster. as league of legends and fortnite have some of the biggest playerbases, and those players are used to see HPnumbers, MANAnumbers etc.
Now Factorio is so full of mathematics, it shouldnt take much to set a character screen with movement speed, hp regeneration, shield regen etc etc
maybe you add some sort of alien virus, therefor it would display virus resistance or hunger/thirst, whatever ^^ this goes into a new kinda survival-factorio, which would be great pvp i guess. i didnt mention that !
indepth character screen is a must for a 2018 game. this will bait many players into trying harder..
and the biggest bait of them all; character creation menu and "skins", or simply more ways to customize your character.
for us engineers, we dont care, but all the fortnite kiddies, they do.

what will the Factorio-future bring ?

Nothing that changes with short open questions.
