Hi, I'm a fairly new guy. Can someone give me a rundown of who is doing what please?

[Drury]

From what I gather the bulk of them are programmers, Albert, Václav and Pavel (the invisible one) do graphics, Betka is PR and kovarex paraglides, gets wed, writes blog posts and is generally useless. May as well fire the guy really.

[Nudibranch]

Cool photo! Great to put a face to everyone.

Thanks for all great work! Much appreciated by a lot of people!

[SuperSandro2000]

It; s that 20/80 rule again. 20% of the bugs take up 80% of the time

Where did you take the photo?
It looks like a factory dock or something... I love Factorio, wish you guys all the most happy times, and am looking forward to the blueprint book!
EDIT:
I would of sworn that it wasn't there when I first read it, but after rereading it I see that the picture was "taken in an old railway station".

[Psyk]

I believe it was taken here: https://goo.gl/maps/BfBnvWU7d7u

[Twisted_Code]

For some reason, I'm having trouble attaching kovarex's face to the name & identity. Then again, I don't interact with him much. I usually interact with Oxyd & HanziQ far more than the rest of the staff on account of them being the only ones that really talk on IRC.

Good to see the faces behind the game that has brought me and my friends so much fun! Keep it up guys and gal!

[SHiRKiT]

I loved the photo! Congratulations on showing up the team, it's such a nice thing to have as a company. I salute you!

[Shinsplinter]

Can't wait for 13.0!
What are the first features you are going to add? I sure hope it's a proper tech tree.

[Gandalf]

That's a cool photo. You managed to make a whole bunch of people look reasonably photogenic. x)
Also I see some clear oppression of the female minority happening. D:

[Icehockeyplyr1]

Great photo. I wanted to say thank you to all of you for making such an entertaining game. It has provided me with hours of enjoyment.

Thank you so much!

[SHiRKiT]

Also I see some clear oppression of the female minority happening. D:

No oppression if women just don't go to the games industry as men do.

You know I gotta wonder, are you guys the kind of group that calls eachother by your actual names, or by your online handles for fun?

[richrich]

And the girl is...

Wow, the young woman let you say that?

[slpwnd]

You know I gotta wonder, are you guys the kind of group that calls eachother by your actual names, or by your online handles for fun?

Actual names. Usually.
