Only the first two labs are supplied with belts. The rest of them get science via inserter.
I don't have all science hooked up yet but I'm working on it

I put this idea in the FF for combat revisit 2 but I thought it would be a nice enough idea to put it here. I like the idea of a bigger tower defense aspect coming up for Factorio but I'm afraid the limited types of turrets might make this aspect very bland and not very interesting. My idea to remed...

What if the turret was made out of two parts you had to put down? A base and a turret that slots onto it? It would make the turret creep more clunky but still doable and that way a whole line of turret specializations opens up. Bullets, lasers, rockets, grenades, destroyer/distractor drones.. Almost...

I do like the heat vision idea but I think its main use would just be to detect biters. Maybe something like a pheromones detection thing might be more practical. It might make the biters easy to see, make them glow a bit, give them a red outline or something. That way you wouldn't have to deal wit...

Maybe this has been put out and shot down a thousand times before but what about instead of even having night vision, we can just upgrade the flashlight we already have? Maybe make it so it goes all the way around the player and maybe have a mk.2 for it that makes it a bit bigger. I do like the heat...

Awesome! So will there be a Steam page before release?

I posed this question in the Steam status FFF but it got glossed over in the discussion in favor of a question about cloud saves so I will repost it here. Is there going to be a Steam page before release? Wouldn't it be more sensible to have one at least for the upcoming games list? There are games ...

So is there going to be a Steam page before release? Wouldn't it be more sensible to have one at least for the upcoming games list? There are games on there that don't even have a release date announced or if they do, it's months away but Factorio does not. Let's assume that, a few days before relea...

Well :) there is no rule that you need to do this, you can use the blueprint mod to make a printable string out of it, which you can post here. Just if you want to: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=92&t=13651 Awesome! Here is the string. It didn't put the floortiles in the blue...

Haha well.. on the save file I guess?

The focal point of the factory is the rocket silo so it deserves to get center stage in your factory. Did you make a pretty home for it in yours?

Here's mine. It's smack in the middle of the entire factory. Show me yours!

This is in no way done legit. I used the map editor to make a pretty village-like setup with different buildings doing different things and made it pretty with both paths and trees.

Hey thanks for pointing that out! The link should be fine again.

Dude are you there ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5FUETSeWMw I'have create some CC (english) for ppl who doesn't speak French :D ! Hope you ll enjoy. Wow! Very cool! Thank you very much! :D I agree that the armor may be too powerful for the beginning. I will change some things here and there wh...

Like others already stated, i don't see the Biters as intelligent enough for trade. But since its on the table, i have a suggestion, even when its a bit off from the initial proposal. The biters always felt a bit out of place for me... like they dont really belong on the planet. This idea was furth...

Great stuff! However, the biters don't seem like the kind of aliens one would trade with. I've read somewhere that there is a plan to have more species of aliens so maybe there could be different species with different starting attitudes towards the player. Biters for example would be rather hostile...

Actually simple terrain elevation in the style of Dune 2 / 2000 or Starcraft is possible and something we consider. There would be two levels in such a way. Would also provide easier defendable spots (than just water surrounded) for possible PvP or challenge scenarios. Good stuff! I would love that...

What if the controls would be changed so that the WASD keys would actually be up, left, down and right instead of forward, left, brake/backwards and right. The car would then turn itself to the direction you want it to go. It would be far easier to have it go straight or diagonal. The current system...

If you're logged in on the preorder page you pay the difference.

That post is more than a year old, a lot changed since then. Hidden ores are most likely to be hidden untill researched/discovered,built upon then they will be visible too. Think about it more like empty land -> land with high ore reading -> Mineshaft building that outputs ore. Makes sense. Yes bel...
