The numbers, what do they mean?
You are number six! Who is number one?

Maybe something 'bout the launch date of the new campaign, and maybe it's justo some random number :p
You should worry where the other 77 chests are.

Does this have to do with the game development? (took 79 tries to get it right?)

Maybe it has to do with the backstory where there are countless other Factorio technicians that went splat when they hit the planet?

The masses need an answer!



Alright, time to feed the curiousity a bit.

JKCS 041 is a group of galaxies, the furthest ever from Earth to have been observed (9.9 billion light-years). Maybe we were cast out to this sector of space?

I'd really love to have the crash remnants on new maps, maybe containing the stuff we currently have in our inventory on startup. I'd find it more immersive - and I would be really sorry not to benefit from all the work the graphics department has invested in them.
Even more so with these new graphics : they are truly gorgeous, although I can't really see the inspiration between the usual buildings and the crash remnants.

rseding i love that you love to fix bugs, and im sure alot of folks here appreciate it as well, keep up the good work!
so. much. this.

I cant tell you how many games i have played by people that loved creating the games, but had no one to help them debug and optimize, so they floundered.

every time i play Creeper world 3, i love the game, but after playing factorio, i just know that some basic optimizations would totally help him make the game 400% better.

Mod increases the number of enemies in the game by 3 orders of magnitude:

Every other dev: "You're crazy, be more careful with your mods"
Factorio dev: "OPTIMIZEEEE!!!!!

I agree with you completely - this is probably what they are planning on doing - there is no way they put this much effort into this to only have it show up in the demo and campein...

Maybe (just a wild theory), maybe factorio devs arenΒ΄t humans after all. Maybe they are of the engineer species, adapting to their surroundings, developing a test, sampling the natives in order to select specimens they can take home with them.
Like the backstory Battle Isle (Blue Byte, 1991) had.
Luckily, I am only adept in producing spaghetti, being save from abduction. :roll:

I keep complaining about the rules of the test. Demanding more customizable tests so that i can make tests i like better. How does that affect my abductability?

Sure it looks like crap, but it breaks things up so you don't have a dozen different entities that all look the same.
thats a problem you'll have with every 'tier' of teh same kind of machine...
indeed, but it's a different kind of machine entirely, which is why I wanted something different than "Another steel furnace", of which I already had 6 different varieties of them.
well, i get it. As i tried coding myself for factorio (and was indeed successfull, but i'm still on 0.15... ;) ) pixelart is not that hard. but with this 'hd stuff' i'm a bit at a loss.
Madness? No, just insannity!

There is a tv serie called Lost, where a mysterious sΓ©quence of numbers keep coming back.
