While waiting for this latest update, I've been playing Minecraft. Minecraft lets you name your world and shows that in the save file. Is there a similar feature in Factorio that would let you name your generated world? See up, I posted a link to savegame-suggestions: Added to https://forums.factor...

Rail building is hands down the feature I'm most looking forward to. Currently, I use FARL to do all my straight sections and then do the curves manually. On the curves, it is always such a huge pain because there is always a piece or two I end up overlapping and need to remove. I do that and then a...

It's odd to see more Red science than green science assemblers. In all the YouTube videos I've watched, they typically have five Red because it takes five seconds to make a red science and 6 green because it takes 6 seconds per green. Why do you have it with more red than green science?

I hope you aren't trying to build something big with only a single construction robot. :-) Does the logistic bonus even apply to construction robots? I've found my construction items go much faster with at least 1,000 construction robots. Even then, I often have to babysit them to insure they don't ...

Awesome! And to think... I've been running around with only six exoskeletons. If I had known I could walk through walls with seven... :) In general, the game seems to act a little weird when using multiple exo skeletons. For example, using only six exoskeletons, I cannot lay a consistent and continu...

I've only been playing the game for about a week but can't wait for this next update! :lol: Does RSO make it difficult for new players? If it's not too bad I'd like to give it a go! The main reasons I installed RSO: 1. It changes how resources are generated on the map to move your first iron / copp...

Prob just DNS problems on my computer. Thanks all.

I can't view the main Factorio.Com website this morning. I assume it may just be a problem between me and the company. It's odd I can get to the forum here but not the main site. Is anyone else having trouble?

I prefer large walkways between my solar panels and accumulators. Just this morning, a large biter attack force took advantage of one of those walkways to attack me while completely ignoring my solar panels / accumulators. Given a choice between utilizing all available space or leaving a nice walkwa...

RSO is hands down my favorite mod. My first 3-4 games I didn't need to even build a single train because all the resources I needed were within transport belt range. RSO Mod increases the distance to my first iron expansion and pretty much makes trains a necessity. Since learning how to do trains, m...

Hit escape, press options, press the option sub button with the auto save option, slide the slider all the way to the right, click ok. Done.

And then when I forget to turn it back on again after I exit combat. No thanks. Terrible suggestion.

It is very easy for me as a novice to say something dumb like: Just use more cores or make it more multi-threaded. But reading what one of the developers said above: 1. Game code memory allocation places objects all over the place. 2. Saving the game requires a significant amount of time to consolid...

Or a better idea change allocation patterns/allcoators so that there is less randomness to the memory layout and perhaps allow some previously random bits to be copied out as a single large chunk. Doing that would probably mean the ENTIRE game experience is sluggish and slow instead of just the Aut...

Thank you for the post. Yes, I know about the three autosaves. That does not change at all anything I said in my post. Sure, if there was only a single Autosave, then it would be an unmitigated disaster to save in combat as you are dying. Still, I think it is a dumb idea to save while you are in com...

Just started a new game using RSO and bumped all the biter settings up a notch from the default. The biter bases are bigger and more frequent. FARL will be quite quite helpful clearing the forest between my starting area iron deposit and the closest one I'll have to reach using trains. Do you know i...

I'm sure this has been suggested before. Please don't save while in combat. In my honest opinion, saving in combat versus not saving in combat is one of those little check box items for games that are 'in development' versus 'production'. So, sure, with a 0.12 version number, it is something that pr...

Along with some other ideas, I think it might be interesting to make the spawn bases tougher later in the game. Compared to the HP of the Behemoth biters, their bases are paper thin, I think.

Do I understand correctly that the biter / spitter spawner health is the same from the beginning of the game to the end game?

Thank you very much! I appreciate your patience in explaining this to me! Much appreciated!
