"Compilatron builds a mining setup for the player and then the Objective window directs the player to feed the produced plates into the 'feeder'. Once that is complete, the 'feeder' is removed and the player needs to load and unload the assembling machine with inserters. " im just happy i ...

"So for 0.17, the water 'frequency' and 'size' sliders are being replaced with 'scale' and 'coverage'," please dont do this, ill never remember that "scale" is supposed to set how frequent lakes are..... please leave it as "frequency" or spell it out if you must "n...

these are just beautifull simplifications! thank you so much!

""Reduce the number of damage types to something like: generic, impact, heat, and acid.""
generic and impact can savely be merged into "kinetic", people know and trust it.

can someone explain to me why blueprints absolutely have to be able to mix with the normal inventory? as far as i can tell this is the cause of like 90% of complexity/problems with the system with out any benefit what so ever.... just give me the infinite blueprint memory(they are just savefiles) th...

Proposal 3 is the one!
solves everything, is very simple and creates no new problems.
the others are just as shoehorned as the current one....simplicity is key!

im also psyched about the copy - paste function!

bots can absolutely handle a few nerfs here and there. not realy sure about the chargetime, might get annoying with personal robots. maybe cut down the range, making em suck at longrange transporting would give belts the edge in that category. i would prefer a balanced nerfing, cut some range, incre...

you could put the railsignalblock-details into "Alt"-mode, like the inserter and assambler-details. if its a temporary visual, its not that bad if its a little cluttered.

yes, change it! have been playing for 3 years? no... 5?.... idk anymore. while the old (current) UI does a good job getting all the information into the players hands, it can definately use some streamlining. i do vaguely remember that the UI needed some getting used to in the beginning. anyway, loo...

still nothing for me..... which steamserver(regionaldownloadserver) are you guys on? i tryed a few different ones, no luck so far....
edit: missed your post about the beta optin, downloading now!

the train thing is a useless timesink, no matter what you come up with, it will look wrong. i would prefer a 4x1 Loader i can slab onto my factorys etc. instead of a heavy inserter tbh. a better inserter adds no gameplayvalue whatsoever. as i see it a 4x1 Loader would have 1 tile with lights and ant...

3 of the 4 postponed things allready exist, there is virtualy no work for you involved to implement them. not sure how you plan to alter the cargowagon length without changeing the viewing angle tbh..... realy hope you get reinforcements soon, with the behind the scenes optimisations and multiplayer...

the download is allways the same size, 113MB.
i probably need to start it up at least once, so it gets recognized? ill try that. soon-ish.

everytime i restart steam(about once a week or on a steamupdate), it fully redownloads the factorio client. i noticed this since the steamversion release, with a 100mbit line and factorio only beeing ~100MB its not a big thing, but i wonder if thats intended? ps: havent launched factorio yet, still ...

yes to all! espezially need things todo after "finishing". i would realy like a tweak to the distance setting of the ore generation, even when turned to max, orepatches are way to common.

im a little on the fence about the "Loader", i realy want it for high throughput cases where you would need 8? fast inserters to max a expressbelt. but trains can allready be full loaded and unloaded in 10seconds, bringing this further down to like 5seconds would realy bother me for some r...

The server still needs to be powerful enough to simulate the game. You might want to check out https://forums.factorio.com/wiki/index.php?title=Multiplayer . There is some information on "Headless Server post 0.12.0" i only played factorio on a 4ghz octo-core, so im not sure what it needs...

so.... are dedicated servers a thing now? i could get my old 2ghz dualcore out and let it run 24/7 for my peers.

i realize that it was just a funny odity pre .12 but since personal roboports make it a permanent issue it gets anoying quickly. sure, its low priority, but it still is unwanted behaviour that needs fixing.

Hi, not a serious issue, but having personal constructionbots chasing your combatbots around the biterbase is kinda useless. ;) me thinks there should be an exeption for damaged combatbots, so they are not considdered for repairs, since they are temporary anyways. imho the loss of constructionbots i...

Hi, had 2 CTDs today,(in 10hours of play), im not sure what i did at the first CTD, on the second i was hitching a ride on one of my trains. checked the log files, both say: "Error Train.cpp:1237: Failed to reserve signal in block." thought i post the logfile here to help smoking the bugs ...
