Also, since by purchasing with steam you also get the non-steam version, from a consumer standpoint buying through steam makes more sense.

Buying through Factorio.com gets you a Steam key as well.

Then the matter is resolved, I guess

Looks great, reminds me of scorn/geiger work somehow. Really looking forward to it.

I understand, but I doubt that anybody at Wube has anything do to with how Steam prices their stuff. I doubt they can even legally talk about it. If you don't think it's "fair", then go ask Steam about it (and let us know what they say). In the meantime, just send your friend to Wube's we...

Thank you, I will look into that. Is it not still strange that it lets a bot place it but not the engineer, manually? The bot is more or less an override mechanic for complex setups, where such mixing is deliberate. In the old days vacating the pipes was really tiresome, and the mix check got intro...

I consider everything you mention a positive, not a negative. I think that such "in-place" upgrades and bonusses are way more fun, than having to iteratively rebuild stuff on top of stuff.
It's a really cool thing, that all your belts acquire hidden new cool functionality on top of them.

This is a whole different can of worms, which is off-topic to the displayed value. The current "degrees per second" figure is legitimized by "items per second would be wrong". De facto, what that means is, "there is no meaningful value provided by the game, you can go alt ta...

This is a good opportunity to finally stop showing the player the rotational speed of an inserter (or of anything else similar) instead of items per second like in the belt. The thing is that Factorio players are expert nitpickers, and depending on a whole array of factors change the "items pe...

Very cool, although I agree with the previous commenter, that "unlocked by" is an information I look up once, and is the least important when looking up stuff. Perhaps it could be further down in the entry?

Love the inventory sounds. Reminds me of how our brains are trained to distinguish the sound of pouring hot water and cold water, allowing you to hear temperature. Soon i will be able to hear when i am filling a furnace with coal or collecting plates, instead of just spamming shift-clicks to guaran...

Very nice! Are some new music tracks coming as well? Planet-specific sounds sooo inviting.

I also find it a strange artefact, which never made much sense to me.
But I have a feeling that the 2.0 is coming with major tech and science rebalance, and no effort will be put into balancing the current state, which I can understand.

Afaik it is stated in the new FFF that it is indeed implemented now, but I don't remember where it was stated or what were the specifics.

I think that is a very cool idea, but alas, I can understand that the artists time is better used somewhere else, propably.

Should've been a nuke

Just started playing captain of industry and it is pretty neat to have an option to show production and resource usage in "per 60 seconds". Makes it easier to just do math in your head for more stages of production instead of making an excel sheet or using helmod. It may also be favourabl...

Assembling machine circuit control applyed on centrifuge removes challenge of designing efficient enrichment process. I am not sure it is correct approach. But what is there to design? The only challenge, that exists, is the attempt at circumventing the base game buffering logic, which is so hacky,...

Rimworlds storytellers are dogshit. The only meaningful way to play is randy random, which is literally random, instead of stupid scaling according to your "wealth". Any scaling according to the player in general is detrimental to any progression feeling. There is no reward for getting bet...

I wonder why you'd dos a forum of a non-competetive game though
