Friday Facts #131 - Roadmap shuffle

[cpy]

I still prefer that module replacer mod that can remove or add or change just modules. But still it's nice to have at least blueprints.

I don't worry much about features, because with mods you already can have factorio 0.15 if you just imagine it.
What i'm most excited about in next version? Nuclear power mod that is on hold until 0.13 starts. Yeah that, i don't care much about other features because there are mods that do that, except for trains, they are really neat feature. Track building with FARL, module replacement mod you name it we have it.

Need combat overhaul? Try hardcorio.

Redo of the train graphics and fixing the train distances, so they are whole tiles and vertical and horizontal distances are the same.

I would definitely like it if they added at least the features to support fluid wagons in mods natively (without the current hacks) even if the art and such weren't finished.

for example by letting the mod select which type of entity it represents and for select entities letting it be active while moving (like logistics chests if speed < logistics robot speed)

there are more things that really need more native plumbing like better power gen options (at least a way to send power to the grid) and more options for entity power sources, like a power property in the entity that lets you select infinite, burner, grid, solar or a custom buffer-based

another example is having a way to properly interact with the circuit network, setting the output on a connection and querying the input.

I definitely agree with everything you're saying. We need these things now, and at least some progress or something about better power options, all we have is 2. It seems like with all the knowledge we have of multiple giant factorios we'd have better knowledge of how to power said factories

Hello dev team
your talking about a Blueprint book in Friday Facts #131
will be nice if the book wil be server wide if someone is hosting one

also let us name the blueprint when we make 1 so its eazy to lookup when we have like over a hundred blueprints

i realy like the things your doing with 0.13 and cant w8 to test it so how do i get the beta brance

[ske]

Two very good ideas, be sure to post them in "Ideas and Suggestions" if 0.13 is released without them.

Hi guys I only just found the game. But I'm reading on wiki that there will be a second end game but it's not mentioned in the fff but can't find any thing about it in the fffs .
So is it coming and when I ff anyone knows this

Great game BTW.

[TN_Creator]

That's a lot of good news!

i'm not fond of achievements but the icons are epic!

[seronis]

Especially the "so long and thanks for all the fish" i beat the game icon.

[Tepalus]

Once again friday, one again waiting for the News

Once again friday, one again waiting for the News

You know I just came here to say the same!


The icons are a great piece of art! I had to smirk about the ~Hitchhiker analogy.

[Tepalus]

Nice!

But i'm very afraid of what will happen today...because it's the 1th april, so probably we have to read the news with more salt than usually?!

[Neotix]

The best joke is when you tell the truth and everybody think that is a joke

[Tepalus]

As it happens in annother forum of annother game (multiplayer) rightn ow at the moment ^^

But there it is very funny because this month, there are some huge changes (alpha) and nobody knows what's real and what isn't everytime the developers say something there. Funny to watch indeed!

Accidental release of the FF132? I could read it, but not go to the forum, when I looked on the front page its gone again and if i reload the link in another tab its not giving anything either anymore
Edit: wont post about it as long as you dont want to ^^

Well, most of that thing was clearly an april fools joke so not much is lost by not reading it

And now 129,130 and 131 are gone too?

[diego-fm]

i'm guessing this happened:

And then it got out of hands and the fire spread like the forest fire in previous FFF

Anyway, too bad of an April Fool that you regreted it the moment it went live?
