Re: Friday Facts #424 - Gleba Pentapod Enemies

I think the first mod I get will be a change to the models
Devs, please consider a 'pentaphobia mode'

those things are disturbing and creepy and viscerally disgusting
like I had to close the window because they were that icky

and I say this as someone who loves spiders

Re: Would it be possible to make it harder to take off armor?

Perhaps a second look should be taken at this now that 2.0 is getting closer. This can still be a major cause of frustration for those not paying attention or newer players.

Re: Friday Facts #416 - Fluids 2.0

The only "realism" trade-off is that you don't need additional pumps for "really long" pipes. Well, "really long" pipe is a cornercase which can be processed separately. For example, you could limit the size of the segment, starting from the nearest source of fluid, an...

Re: Friday Facts #414 - Spoils of Agriculture

'Spoilage'? Haven't these people heard of fridges and freezers? I am not happy about this new mechanic at all. Spoiling materials/resources create a need to be prompt with using them. Seeing spoilage times being even minutes, as stated in the FF, creates in my a sense of urgency, racing. Factorio ha...

Re: Friday Facts #402 - Lightspeed circuits

There are a lot of ways to do it, but we wanted to keep it simple. So we decided that there is just a single radar channel for each surface (still separated between red and green). This means, you don't have to configure anything , you just connect the wire and you are ready to go. If the radar los...

Please give a way to mute/ignore alert types we don't care about. I play with alerts muted because endless minor damage alerts seriously trigger me.

Re: Friday Facts #396 - Sound improvements in 2.0

The inventory pick up and drop sounds are exceedingly grating on the ears. The inserter made me want to vomit, and the others weren't much better. Please tell us they can be disabled... Or just have an option for pre-2.0 generic inventory sounds. All that is needed is the auditory feedback that an i...

Re: Factorio price increase - 2023/01/26

Someone on the Steam discussions did some digging and found these official balance sheets for Wube Software. Suddenly the reason for the price increase is all too apparent. I hope Wube Software doesn't run out of money.. :o :shock:

Re: vanilla death world too hard

Desert maps are tough. If also the biters are very near the ore patches, it can be quite problematic. Thanks for the tips. I've also seen players place primitive buildings as walls to funnel biters into single file arrangements. I consider this a hack, but seems desert starts are meant to be an ama...

Re: Factorio price increase - 2023/01/26

TL;DR: I doubt Wube is in immediate danger of going bankrupt even after the inflation. But, They also don't have 50+ years of money in the bank. Maybe 3-7 years.. And even then, that's assuming zero growth of the company from this point on, no additional projects, no way to put a second game in the...

Factorio price increase breaks your promise

This change will become effective as of the 16th of April 2018. This is the final Factorio price update, unless something unforeseen happens , s...

Re: [1.1.55] GUI; public lobby filters are not persistent through game restart now

Thanks for the report however that change was done on purpose. Griefing the playerbase was done on purpose? Why? Those settings need to be saved.

This is not a feature suggestion. I was putting down some roboports in an outpost. The outpost didn't have power. After having put some construction bots in one of the ports, they rushed out to get some trash from me and stuck around as there was no storage. Then they bounced from port to port as t...
