Does anyone seriously look at the view couter? It may as well not be there.

I just drop by to see how it's going, and leave. No need to post anything.

Does Linux not have a feature similar to DirectInput? Keybinds should be independant from keyboard layout and register keycodes, not letters as interpreted by your OS.

I think in vanilla, Roboports shouldn't even be able to host 300 robots, since they can't even handle more than 50-100 of them working. They either need a serious buff to recharging capacities, or just plain not allow more than 100 of them to dock.

I am unhappy. I bet you could have told us that a month ago. Most likely more. And even last week when at least somebody did talk about it (which I much appreciated), it sounded like MAYBE end of Feb or if that doesnt hold up early March. now its an optimistic end of March which means most likely A...

Now I'm REALLY curious. Tell me

A minium latency setting of 30 is not "30 ms" but "30 ticks" which is 30 * 16.66~ or 500 ms. That is very confusing, every other game measures latency in milliseconds. But Factorio is not every other game. Which means it should come with a description. If something differs from ...

I'm not argueing against upgrading, quite the opposite, I like it to be that way.

It's just that you need too many different intermediate and basic materials.

I just noticed the grinder is clipping through the pipes that lead into the hole.

I think it makes sense just sorting the constuction queue. Something along the line of: -buildings -inserters -belts -chests -poles -wall -tiles That of course isn't a complete list, but it would solve a lot of problems in that regard. For example, an older constuction job for walls and concrete, th...

put enough speed boost modules in the tank, and it turns so fast that with just a tap, you're facing the opposite direction. add a couple more and you turn so fast, that turning right makes you turn left, because you turn more than half a turn in a single tick. But yeah, mods allow for upgraded veh...

The annoying part about this is that you either: -Spend endless amounts of time crafting gears when you need just a piece of something, because you have go through 4, 5, 6 tiers, which adds up to sometimes around 100 gears for 1 entity -Have to organise and carry production of 6 types of gears, on t...

Does anyone know WHY inserters facing north are slower? Why are they spending that extra tick?

I agree on the car being more on less useless. It's an absolute pain in the ass to steer, because it doesn't lock onto rotations, and unlike the tank can't handle trees at all. Well, it makes sense for a car not being able to handle trees, but you can't even build roads because it's impossible to dr...

You'll need 42 stone funaces of iron and 63 of copper, 12 blue assemblers for copper wire to feed 8 assemblers doing curcuits.

My vote goes to 'a bit of everything', including hardware.

Post a SS of your debug options, where it shows how much time the game spends on which entities. F5 is the default key.

It would be really nice if you could paste the modlist here.

It hardly takes more time to build 10/12/24 over 5/6/12. 10/12/24 uses one assembly machine for each input, 5/6/12 only utilises half a machine. 20/24/48 is still not much extra work, since you just build 10/12/24 twice, but it's overkill for this achievement.

I think having both gear wheels and bearing is a nice touch. However, of steel, titanium and nitrinol, we have both, gear wheels and bearings. That's redundant. Of these three, it should be reduced to either one or the other. I'd suggest dropping these 3 kinds of gear wheels, and only work with the ...

I did it in multiplayer with my fiancee. We used harder difficulty settings than normal and more or less got it without explicit planning for it. Key to the achievement it focus on the right science, and having a 'blueprint' a what a good science area looks like in your head. We used 20 red bottle, ...
