Presenting the Factorio UnOfficial FAQ

[Peter34]

I've been working on this for the last few weeks, much of the time spent on laboriously (yeah, bad, bad me, doing a lot of dumb work because I didn't think the project through before embarking on it) splitting the initially very looong document into multiple shorter documents:

Factorio UnOfficial FAQ index

Plans are to add more and better links to official sources of information (the wiki, and the various FAQs from Wube and ßilk), to add a slightly more interesting "spacer" between sections instead of just 3 blank lines (if anyone knows Latin, please shout out), to add some screenshots illustrating how to build various basic setups, and to move the contents of one of the indexed posts into other posts and subsequently delete that post.

(Since the FAQ resides on a general-purpose blog, rather than on a blog specific to that game, there are a bunch of things I can't do with Blogspot's right-side widgets, meaning everything must be done in-document, unlike with my other blogs.)

Feel free to give feedback on the project, either in this thread, or in the comments to the various posts.

I'm particularly interested in quotable testimony which covers things that I haven't tried myself, especially playing Factorio on a non-Windows system. Right now the FAQ is largely silent about that and it's one thing I can't improve on without help.

In preparation for the Steam release, I've made a few changes to the UnOfficial FAQ:

Mainly fixed typos, errors, layout problems, and added more updated info about the Steam release and keys.

I still need quotable and attributable "testimony" from people who have played Factorio in Mac or Linux, to include in the Unofficial FAQ.
