Actually wasn't that hard to fix for me, just upgrade furnaces and plants to rare... But still would need to farm for them...

Idk if it's a bug; but it's really griefing and is likely to occur.

I've built this ship in editor but now can't paste this small bottom part due to limitations in ship length. :(

I've read this limitation was made as reaction to some abuse with thousand length ships. I ...

Explanations of conditions for space platform :

From my observation it's causing space platform to leave if any item it's requesting (and probably providing to another place) reached 0.

So far this worked flawlessly for a day of ...

I hate the stains all around the world that do not decay from the day they were added.

I've read the decay feature would be too laggy. In an absence maybe at least make it so explosives would revert the creep to normal land ?..

I know about concrete, but sometimes I ...

The guy above posted a good suggestion about changing SECONDARY keybind to CTRL+SCROLLWHEEL, but it's still the same kind of non-intuitive and jank as before, as the mouse macro.

I think the guy who posted agaisnt this just never did it in game.

Fucking THIS, not the pseudo-hardcorness of not optimizing tasks that ""should"" be automatic, I just wanna shoot artillery and hear shots and explosions.

eeeh i mean belt dragging etc power poles pipes placements (can be automated with robots)

Before 2.0 there was some hidden interaction with control settings that allowed you to drag and rapid fire nests manually.

Now it's gone, but also nests received huge buff to their health so that they are dying in 2 hits, taking double the clicks.

It shouldn't be a ...

Always bothered me.

It feels like a bug that you can't rotate counter clockwise while in ghost mode and have to press R R R R R R R (13? times) instead of Shift-R

Also please with this settings my worlds are lookng like a bitter goop. Please consider adding decay to biter's creep underneath nests :(

Enemy Expansion Maximum group size : (20/20/50) //i would even suggest progresively increasing this stat depending on evolution. Bigger evolution ...

TL;DR
I think right now Factorio misses the official "medium" difficulty.

Why?
The default world is ranging from literally being peaceful (grass spawn) to just easy. While a Deathwrold, on the other hand, in gaming terms, should be called as "Hard+" or "Very Hard".

Ofc Factorio allows to ...

I've been playing with this debug option for as long as I can remember. Enabled it instantly upon discovery.

When posting pics to friends and online a lot of people also been asking for how do you do this.

Maybe add some electrical looking semi mostly transparent cool ...

I usually play Deathworlds modified to have bigger patches of ores (by amount) and Enemy Evolution by time decreased from 200 to 100 (base is 40).

This time I was rolling the world without preview (to not spoil patches of ore) and at some time forgot about setting ore richness to something like 300 ...

I would suggest that the “output” of a pipe section (aka what a machine can draw from it) shouldn’t only scale by its fill level but also the number of pipes the section consists of (maybe with a threshold and bigger increments). This would somewhat limit the “throughput” of a pipe system and ...

Completely ignoring the fact i stole the power system from IC2 basically, and then reimplemented it badly. Not a good ...

Is this feature really that hard to implement?.. Many games have it like Path of Exile, Dota 2, even saw it in Darkest Dungeon... If I didn't knew, I would bet everything that Factorio is one of the games where it definitely should have been as I think many people often stay AFK... As for me, every ...

TL;DR
Make it so you could somehow clear the ground from biter's goop after you cleared a nest and preserve a terrain without just covering everything with concrete.


Why ?
Now you can only place concrete on top, but then if you remove it ground would still be in goop, so you can have either ...

yes pls, +1 for the feature

It's a fun extension and doesn't break anything in terms of regular vanilla progression since it's only would be actually viable only in end-end game and with post rocket factory:
