It was a Great Year for Factorio.
but the Rest of the World didn't seem to like it xD

[hoho]

Has anyone requested kill stats like that before? I've not noticed anyone asking for it but now that I see it in-game, this seems like something that is just so obvious that it's weird it wasn't there from the start

Anyways, great work with all of it. Factorio has sort of ruined games for me for being rock stable and extremely responsive devs. It's not exactly easy to try dealing with other games after that.

It's still the king of the automation "genre".

Should I be worried about the fact that the spike in building robot loss and tree kills was nearly at the same time?

Please add Fluid Prod/usage Statistics page. Please lol. It can't be that hard.

It's already in 0.15. I added it when I added the kills screen.

Typically I don't read post with so many words because my brain doesn't like words. But I have no problem for reading FFFs. They increase the value of each Friday.
And thanks for the info about Humble Widget. It may be useful for us as we are considering to make some PC games.
(But how come I don't see Factorio on their website!? WTF? This is WRONG! lol)

Wish you have a happy new year.

Looking good! I suggest renaming deaths into losses, since I spent two seconds wondering how he got killed fourteen times by construction robots. Two seconds!

[Ohz]

Happy new year to all the team ! Can't wait for 0.15, thanks anyway to bring Factorio up to 0.14 (I mean the whole multiplayer could be just stay at a dream project seriously). It is an amazing game since years and get better and better <3

Anyone else notice the purple spitters in the kill stats screen? New enemies confirmed!

They are not new, that's the entity icon for the already existing big spitters. You can see it in the map editor.

thanks for correcting me. Haven't really used the map editor so I thought they were new.

Great year for the factorio team. Well done and happy new year!

You are the best!
Thank you for this awesome game

I'm so sad to see this happening on G2A. I' won't purchase there again, I do not support those types of actions.

But anyways, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Factorio is in the Humble Store. (that is where I bought it.) Just search from the toolbar at the top of the screen.

You should rename "Deaths" to "Losses" . A wall doesn't "die" - it gets destroyed, broken down, et cetera. And a robot doesn't "live", so death doesn't mean anything in this context. The only actual deaths would be the player, but since it's game-over when you die, it's kind of pointless to list it there.

Happy new year!
I love the idea of the kill statistics, pretty neat.
