FIRE!! BURN EVERYTHING

[jorgenRe]

Darn it i forgot to put a satelite into the rocket -_-!

PS those are some really great looking forest fires !

[sekanz]

Fire... very nice! This should make removing a forest a bit easier, eh?

[Smarty]

now that is a massive update on what is happening behind the scenes! Me likes it and ME WANTS THE FIRAH!

*Looks at the Achievements*
Yay! Awesome!

*Looks at the Picture with the Fire*
oh god, Forest Fires!
I love it!
i never have to Manually burn down Forests anymore!

just a quick off-topic thing
why do the Robots in the Research picture for "Logistics Robot cargo size", "Character Logistics Trash slots" and "Character Logistics slots" have a Antena, because they don't seem to have one anywhere else. that little Detail Confuses me a bit...

Don't panic

Mostly Harmless

[DedlySpyder]

But, how can I get that achievement if we don't have dolphins in the game?

put fish in a rocket and send it into space?

Haha! More HG2G references in the achievements please
I LOVE the fire! It really makes Factorio more like a finished game (along with removing all the temporary sprites!)

As far as the achievements go, I think you should move away from having an achievement popping up for things which require no effort such as angering biters. I think this will make the experience feel shallower overall.
A suggestion could be:
Have two levels of achievements: 1) Just get the achievement however!
2) Get it but without making the game easier (peaceful mode, increased ore, etc.)

Keep up the great work!

I like the fire mechanic the most, will it be possible for modders to have a similar effect with acidic ammunition? As well that entity/unit types like the alien types can be set on fire?

What about making flamed biters randomly run around and set trees on fire? ^^

Sounds like fun, I support this idea.

[Erigalus]

The new fire mechanic looks awesome. I like it. My question is: Will nearby buildings catch fire, as well? Will there be a way to stop it spreading (using water in some kind or building a literal firewall)?
Every new fff makes the upcoming steam release even more awesome.

I like this idea ... flame turrent sets biter on fire. Turrets dies and biter rampages through the base while burning setting your base on fire.

Downside: I would never build a flame turret.

Maybe flammable buildings are a bit much, yeah. But exploding oil tanks could be fun. :3

Flamethrower Turrets confirmed \m/
