Been hearing about this new GUI for more than a year now and it has barely reached concept art yet.. I'm trying to keep my hopes up anyway for a sudden implementation within one month as promised.

I'm really happy to see you're at least beginning to think of progressing the development now, it's been a mess of new feature ideas and experimental playing around for almost a year now. Thank you for listening to us at last.

I'm happy to hear that they've managed to have steam and non steam players on the same servers, that's huge if comparing to other games! That said, it's a tiny bit weird that the makers of Factorio doesn't know that science packs are part of every single science recipe and therefore are intermediate...

Just a few weeks left now until it has been 1 year since 0.16 was released. I think the devs tend to forget this as time passes a lot more quickly when playing around and having fun with experimental future features instead. For customers that wait on the other hand these years of postponing release...

*I think about it like this: At 60 UPS a assembler drains 3 kW meaning that each tick 1/60*3 kW is offset against the energy production. At 50 UPS a assembler drains 3 kW meaning that each tick 1/50*3 kW is offset against the energy production -> It would not change energy consumption but only the ...

3.5 years in the future (June 2018): Is this possible yet?

You just need to clear out all the biters, right?

So.. 1.0 in Summer 2019 maybe? I would think that's reasonable considering history. Each minor update takes approximately 9 months to develop and 3-4 months to stabilize. So, if 0.18 is only polish and stabilization + a few months of playing around with optimizing for fun, it could be possible. I ho...

I'm super grateful for the compression patch, it's not perfect yet but releasing this means we're getting there! <3 <3

I know I shouldn't feel this way about an awesome game, but how can it be more important to change rendering engine when it works almost flawlessly than to fix the games belt problems? We've been waiting since mid december last year now for some kind of quick fix.

What key are you using for turning left while driving manually? Just curious.

As I see it, some asymmetry in the maps makes things more interesting, and generally does advantage one team significantly over another Why do you consider it good that the map gives advantage to one of the teams? I've never heard any game dev see PvP that way, or did I miss some new competitive ge...

How long will belt compression take to fix? Leaving the game in this state for such a long time is not very nice. And, no, there are no working workarounds for this even though a few people seems to believe so, I've tried them all.

For 4 years and 9 days according to my factorio.com account.

I hope this will never be re-introduced. There are mechanics for that in the game, use them.

What mechanics are you talking about that makes inserters be able to fully compress a belt, except for tick counting hacks?

I won't pretend I've read everything written here, but I am one of the ones that would appreciate if logistics bots were optional per world. As it is now, as soon as you reach logistics you don't need any other blueprint than this: Screenshot20180123_145837.png You, still can do more, do your own lo...

I was really hoping for the splitters to come this week as I think it will lead to really interesting new balancers and sorters designs, but now I understand the convention will take up a few weeks of braintime instead. The fix for belts also feels urgent, right when the belts started showing their ...

I would love for Factorio to have a Classic Mode where Flying Robots only build and does some player logistics, maybe bringing robots up earlier in the tech tree, and a Megabase Mode where Flying Robots can do anything but late in the tech tree.
