Friday Facts #142 - Playtesting

[kovarex]

Speaking of faster mining of rails... Can you please do the same for walls? Since the segments are only 1x1, it takes AGES to correct a misaligned or otherwise unwanted wall until you finally get the deconstruction planner.

Yes I did also wall as part of the change.

Also, I was thinking... the deconstruction planner itself is super cheap since it is infinitely reusable. I wonder if it might be better to have it stackable and partially use up just like the repair packs. Maybe have them capable of marking 500 objects for deconstruction before they are used up, and allow 100x planners in a stack. Or something.

It doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

I saw this post viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1878&start=70#p168302 and i'm wonder where you unveil that wagon graphic?

Ok, what about making blueprints (empty) stackable?

Together with that "loading crane" train-thingy I somehow get an interesting feeling/idea about what is to come. And if my theory is going to turn out to be correct they did a well job on keeping it a secret.

If you limit your factory pollution, so it stops spreading, and destroy nests already influenced by pollution, then no new biters will attack (as long as you prevent base-building. I do not rememeber if non-aggravated bases send builders).

They do, occasionally. As long as you prevent basebuilding inside your cloud it should not matter too much.

Then what is the point in having to craft a deconstruction planner? Can't it just be something you get for free once you've reached logistics? By making it a button/keypress "mode" you can enter.

Yeah... It's depicted like a piece of red paper but it really is just a remote control.

Are we there yet?

Don't make me turn this car formation update around!

[Ninja_Dog81]

Come on guys, throw us a bone!? I don't think my heart can take the strain any longer Waiting with immense amounts of anticipation for those lovely words "Factorio - Update Queued" only to be turned into "Factorio - Downloading", only to be turned into GAME TIME!

Can't wait!

[malecord]

You know that by continuously updating these threads we're just derping each other right?

[torham]

what really bugs me is that last gif from Factorio development explained in gifs. What sort of magic trick are they reacting to?

[Ninja_Dog81]

@Malecord

Too true. I'm so excited for this release (TRAINS!) that I almost can't contain myself (TRAINS!). Plus I have a huge TRAINS fixation haha

I have four days off this weekend, was hoping I'd be accompanied by Factorio, but pointless starting another map until the update drops.

P.S. TRAINS!

While waiting for the coming Friday.... did anyone notice the shadow angle of the wall (or gate?) is different from the other objects? Most of the shadow is point to east, but the wall's is 45degree rotated. (Yes, I am bored. Friday please come early!)

Maybe it will be a part of the blueprint book?
