I feel you. I've spent two days there and have basically nothing and the prospect of building a factory there turns me off. There are way too many concepts dumped on you with little explanation, and then there's the time pressure of spoilage, and evolution.

So I got there and here's the things I ...

30 bucks?. I'm pretty sure you made a typo. You meant to say 60 bucks.
If this has anywhere near the content and replayability of the base game. Don't sell yourself short. Or at least offer a supporter / collectors edition? . I would honestly love a figure or something physical from the world of ...

I would love to see the developers somehow bring climate change into the game. So that your actions have consequences, you start by ruining the world, then eventually has everything has become desolate and toxic, you will try and involve your tech and fix up the planet, clean technology, maybe bring ...

I'm definitely in total agreement with an expansion. Don't think me wrong i am a big huge fan of more free content. But i feel like after playing at least 1000 hours of Factorio. I wouldn't mind paying for a full priced expansion. You have earned that right with your dedication to this game.

I don ...

Am i the only one, who feel like the campaign could serve a dual purpose?. Not only teaching the player about how the game works. But it could also be the pre-story, set it on a ruined world, that is destroyed, and the engineer leaves into space and where we crashland in the custom game.

It would ...

On the topic of pollution and biters.

Now sure what the future holds in regards to pollution. But personally i feel kinda sad that pollution is so superficial imo. I think it would be cool and interesting if it was more visual, instead of having to look at a map and see a red circle, which ...

As you see the bottom mining area on gras is mostly not visible.

Cu, steinio.

This so much, happy its not just me that finding it hard to read. Can barely see the area a lot of times when placing.

I hope 0.17 will be released soon. I was at the middle of making my new megabase when science changes was announced. Few hundred hours of playtime and maybe even more of planning has been lost changed to experience ;)


Nothing is ever lost or wasted imo in Factorio. I learn something every time ...

How about releasing it tomorrow?

I guess that could also work! the sooner the better.

I just hope 0.17 releases on January 17th my birthday, i mean that would be perfect. One cannot really ask for much more i think?. Other than well designed light poles of course. First time im scared about HD graphics, really hope they listen, else we could be forced to run low res sprites

Seriously that armor should be called something like Levation armor / suit. Bonus effect could let the user levitate over pipes, water, etc. Obviously it should not offer same advantages of other armors. But be more of a utility suit.

Kinda funny how this is belts vs bots this week and conclusion seems to be - bots are fine, belts need buffs and week earlier it was pipes vs bots and conclusion was similar, that pipes need buffs (although bots were not neccesarily fine).

The problem is bots isn't fine. If they buff belts, the ...

What if instead of stacked belts there were some kind of... Transport Tube, it would be somewhat like a belt, but you wouldn't actually see the items moving around on it. This way the item density could be as high as you want. Perhaps they could even be "virtualized" somewhat and not tracked in ...

I think that technologies should work together, instead of against each other, which belt and boots kinda do atm. They are fighting over doing the same thing.

To me personally, transport belt is a defining and core aspect of Factorio.

I would picture bots as doing something around your base ...

merged with existing thread, see the first post and dev response for an answer --daniel34

I really think it would be nice, if we had some more easy control of splitters, instead of having to chain multiple together and do crazy stuff. Imo we should have precise control as to the ratio of the ...

The solution to turret creep. Instead of just removing it or preventing it outright.

would be to have the aliens have a form of creep, like zerg from starcraft. that prevents building on it. So that way you could only turret creep to the edge of their space, and then would have to drive in via tank ...

The new terrain is very beautiful. Absolutely loving it. Cannot wait to see more.

Haha yeah ive hard similar maps
If only one could build bridges. or swim! or teleporters!

Only thing i rebound why the enter vehicle key and moving map from M to the TAB key. M is just so far away, and i open the map quite a lot. And the TAB key isnt used for anything besides the moving text messages forward, and there isnt really any of those in custom.

In regards to stuff being OP. wouldn one way of balancing stuff, just have this option use up a lot more power than say robots.

Ive never gotten really far. But the idea seems cool. But obviously balance is important in Factorio. What really makes this game so great, is the good balance of work vs ...
