Re: Change color of lamp back to pure white

simplest solution to this problem is adding some sort of global way to change the lamp colors. Piggybacking off of the logistics groups might work. Brings the lamps up to par with the rest of the circuit network also. Or if you really feel like being funny, just add a setting in the interface that ...

Re: How pros approach the game?

as an enthusiast for this kind of design and playstyle in general.

Unfortunately i don't really have any good advice for you, what i can say is what motivates me to play, and that's removing the tedium, the things i don't like doing. For example i really enjoy mega base logistics, biters, expansion ...

Re: Does space age change anything?

each planet has a separate "meta" that you're supposed to follow, each one presents unique solutions to the same problems. It's quite fun, especially paired with spaceships either to shuttle materials around to different planets, it opens up 5 dimensions of play, rather than the one that previously ...

Re: Lossless Scaling under Linux to enable frame generation for Factorio

on the topic of native implementation, from what i can recall the game is designed to lock FPS to the UPS in most cases, very rarely do they break away. I'm not sure how trivial it would be to divorce the two.

You can have a lower FPS than UPS, but i've never seen the opposite. I'm not sure how ...

Re: Stop Killing Games?

judging by the fact that you can download archived versions from their website, play offline (im fairly sure but somebody should fact check this lol), and they provide a dedicated server. I would say they probably meet all the requirements for stop killing games, the only significant one would be no ...

Re: Uranium and ammo shipping too expensive

i kind of wish they would debuff reactor fuel somehow, and just add a real nuclear bomb to the game, similar to artillery, or maybe literally used with artillery. It's weird that you can just stuff 100 u235 into what is presumably, a manpad, or RPG type weapon. That amount of uranium alone would be ...

Re: Piercing shotgun shells cost

i've always found it weird that there was uranium ammo for the the SMG, but no uranium ammo for the shotgun. I don't use the shotgun ever, but i would be far more tempted to use it if there was a uranium variant of the piercing ammo.

Re: Allow us put more landing pads. With high distance from each

I think realistically you could manage both the balance aspect and multi-pad support. Though i agree with the end game sentiment, locking it behind research seems like a good game balance solution here. It would be really nice to have dedicated landing pads for certain things. Especially for inter ...

Re: Factorio confessions


I've had my computer runing 24/7 for the past three weeks AFK:ing to get "Stronger Explosives" to lvl 23 so I can one shoot large asteroids.
The "correct" thing to do would have been to expand the factory to make the reseach go faster, but I just couldn't be bothered. :oops:

Re: Show your late-game hoards

in my 1.1 save i had an old railbase that i believe was designed for 90spm? might've been 120 i can't remember now, early base crop.png but i ended up tearing the entire thing down, buffers included so i ended up having millions of each raw resource in large capacity stored in my logistics network ...

Re: Certain tech tree dependencies and trigger tech issues in Space Age

Honestly, i don't mind the trigger techs, i just think it's a little weird and arbitrary that some of them are so, aggressive. The oil one is a little weird, and the uranium one is a bit odd as well. It just forces a weird game play workflow for something that has no perceivable benefit.

A lot of ...

oh boy, this is a rather eventful post. Excited for the new train logistics, having more options is always nice, and since we're on the topic, it makes sense to me that the molten metals would have a substantially higher throughput of trains, which would mean even without the increase in space ...

Re: [FFF416]Nuclear Power Plant from the future (RANT)

i'm sort of indifferent to the overall change. I really like that i no longer have to spend as much time thinking about moving water into the goddamned nuclear plant, because that was always a nightmare. (though ironically bringing in water via train is concerningly viable.

I also do like how the ...

Re: Electricity: Three Phase AC & Grid Distribution

i like the idea of a more complex electric grid that more closely resembles the real electric grid, would certainly be a neat addition, especially for certain things. Though fluidic power scares me, thankfully the actual power flow through real wires is interesting at best. And incredibly boring at ...

I've been having this issue for a little while, barring a full uninstall and reinstall of steam, it seems like its actually an issue with proton, or at least in my case it was.
