The store's privacy policy is... interesting

We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service.

So if I violate some clause of the terms of service, you're allowed to dox me? Is that really what this says?

It's also not GDPR compliant (e.g. it doesn't tell me about my right to complain to the local authority) so this shop isn't actually legal in the EU, but honestly I don't care so much about that: the privacy policy is short and readable, which is a big plus. But this clause is super weird, and the policy says nothing at all about what Shopify (a non-European entity) uses my data for. Which could mean they don't use my data for anything except fulfilling the contract, or it's just missing. For example, Shopify's own privacy policy states "[we use your personal data to] provide you with advertising and marketing", but it is not clear whether this applies to the Factorio store.

Edit: Oh look, your home address is shared with Google as well. First through a shopify proxy while typing your address, I figured that's alright (they know that someone on this address ordered something, but can't track me, presumably), but then after ordering it shows a nice google map (loaded directly from my browser) with a pin on my location. I never agreed for you to tell Google that this browser/IP lives on this address...

Is shipping to asia possible? Taiwan more precisely. And taking into account that sizes are different in between countries, could you post the length between shoulders as a refference. Problem is: if you normally use a, for example, L size in spain, germans L size is going to be too big for you and M will be kind of the right size...

My first post ever but i really wait for friday 22:30 -23:30 to read the fff for the las year or so and never miss a single one. Playing the game for one and a half years and having spent nearly 500 hours (big amount of time for a working married person) on it and still feel like im a noob when i see some dispositions or ideas of other people.

Great game and looking forward for the final launch of version 1.0

Hmm, doesn't it show this for you? Or is the "A" measurement not what you're looking for?

Shelves full of boxes looks like inventory bottleneck issue Need more "storage chests" or excess has nowhere to go.

The bottleneck is not being able to sell them fast enough!

Lua event filters make me excited for the new modding optimizations. Thank you to whoever made a formal request for these, as I should have done long ago instead of casually discussing the concept in Discord off and on without a grounded argument to back it up!

No. No, it really isn't.

Hi, will there be a t-shirt with printed factorio base?
I remember some time ago you had this big banner https://cdn.factorio.com/assets/img/blo ... 9-img3.jpg
It would be great to have a t-shirt with this huge base printed on it.

(Sorry for my english)

Just checked the country tab in the shipping options. Yup, it is possible.

[KunibertSegensreich]

Why only childrens sizes?

4xl to 8xl please... thank you.

[Omarflyjoemacky]

Why no credit card options for payment?

Event filtering sounds nice in concept, but without an option to register multiple handlers with multiple filters to the same event it's probably not going to help me much. I.e. if i have one handler waiting for ghosts, and one for non-ghosts i still need to filter on_built_entity myself, right? So the more complex a mod gets, the less it benefits from filters if i have to use a "lowest common denominator".

[halluzman]

Why only Paypal in the shop? That freaking site wants me to send them my ID because of "suspicious" activity (probably VPN). I am going to remain t-shirt-less I guess.

EDIT: Figured it out. I had to fill in fake US address, otherwise it wanted me to create account. Ridiculous.

Automation seems to be still locked at 86%, the new designs are certainly a nice addition.

[dockmeister]

I am probably too late, but for the next iteration i'd like to see a T-Shirt for couples: Underground belts, one to the right and one to the left.

A plain Factorio- and an inserter shirt will do for now.

The new LUA event system sounds awesome.

I would love this too!

[ownlyme]

does this apply to all events?
it would be pretty useful for the damage event...

[ssilk]

Long awaited, Rseding. Thanks.

Still missing: Schedule time-events. E.g.:
- raise an event every 60 ticks, as payload the index-number of that event
- raise event in 200 ticks, then in 250, then in 480 ticks... (a list of wanted time-events plus some payload for that event)

And if this scheduler works:
- raise an event in a tick where no other event is raised (to use that unused CPU time and make background calculations)
