Re: Thoughts on 0.13 Terrain Generation

Actually, I like the new terrain generation. It looks, to me, more realistic than the otherwise bland treatment of biomes we had before. It looks wilder. ie. more realistic. Deserts don't tend to alternate with grasslands every 100 feet irl :D Not if we're talking, like, the Sahara , no, but irl bi...

Re: THAT MOD Should be in the base game…

To devs: Please, PLEASE, do not make base-game content dependent on votes. Artistic integrity (sound design philosophy) is not a popularity contest. That sort of approach leads towards a profusion of OMGCOOL stuff being implemented which do not necessarily work together as a cohesive whole, and whic...

Re: Factorio is not on Sale (Steam)

DLC is just hideous. It's like that hidden cost you get on your phone bill. Here's another example: I bought Company of Heroes 2 during pre-order. I can't remember what I spent, exactly, but it was on the order of $60-80, easily more than I've ever spent on a computer game. And then SEGA came in. SE...

Re: End game theory and gameplay ideas

End-game is ... actually fine. It's an excellent design decision to have a goal for the player to work towards. Building a rocket is a good thing. The problem is that difficulty does not scale properly. There is inadequate oppositional pressure. That is to say, the native forces should become so agg...

It connected, and lurched a bit through downloading the map, and now... well, I'll just wait for you to reboot.

Do you have the appropriate ports open in your router config?
I did manage to connect to another server, but am still having trouble with yours - even when I enter 173.217.0.151

UI Improvements

  • keypress (ie. TAB) could switch between panels on the building menu.
  • double-click or right-click on the mod selection screen to toggle and/or the ability to shift-select multiple mods at once. Or load mods & restart automatically to meet savegame/multiplayer dependencies.
