I like that the smoke now comes from the burner, that turn coal into smoke. And I notice that the steam turbines release only small steam clouds. Do you have plans for a cooling tower? At first I though it would be a good implementation, but now I wonder if the added complexity would really add valu...

Hype!

Mining uranium requires sulfuric acid!
Rockets launchs bring permanent bonuses through infinite research!
Hi-Res!
Real mining drill icon! (good bye wind turbine icon )
Strategic Launch Detected!

Very good job, brilliant work!

Wood currently cannot be included into main recipes because:
-Wood is a very limited ressource.
-Wood cannot be automatically gathered.

But those points could change in the future, that would allow more uses for wood.

In my opinion the size change of the furnace is not a surprise.
Burner mining drills and steel furnaces are 2x2
Electric mining drills and electric furnaces are 3x3
Electric stuff takes more space.

I think that the mini-tutoriels are a good idea. As a casual gamer (~50h played) I'd like to give you my feedback. -Trains Basic features are simple enough, i didn't need any tutorial. But about signals, despite my 30h spent on openttd, I had to spend 1h on the wiki and forums to understand how to d...

I very dislike the heat pipes. Here is what i'd like for nuclear power in factorio: v2.3.png This diagragram represents my comprehension of nuclear power in real life, and is close to the factorio screenshot (with vertical symetry) diagram_irl.png Maybe I should make a dedicated thread for discussion?

I think the rail loop looks odd because it should be elliptic, not circle. Factorio use tiles of 32x32 pixels, rendering 1:1 at zoom scrolling -12 (0 is max zoom in) A vertical belt is about 30 pixels wide. An horisontal belt is about 26 pixels wide. I think that if the tiles were rectangular, maybe...

For all those who want waste as a junk - remember - no factorio assembly machine leaves waste. Have you ever been to gear factory for example? It leaves alot of waste actually (which is refactored then). Or any other REAL factory. It has waste (which is sometimes refactored, sometimes not). There i...

If you're looking for realism, it would take about 20 years to build up enough toxic waste to even CONSIDER worrying over waste disposal. :lol: I disagree for 3 reasons: -Toxic waste doesn't start to appears after 20 years, it starts to appears as soon as the reactor consume uranium. -IRL you need ...

I've read the first page of the thread. I love: - Sulfuric acid in the Mining Drill to mine uranium -The nuclear plant heat water (could have several cold water input and several hot water/steam output) (would be nice to have a dedicated steam machine, with a high throughput, and it could even be an...

Yea, it could also be a rectangle openning: I agree that's it's a bit odd that underground has this ability, but it's devs choice, it allow to have a minimal number of belt types in the game.

Yea, I assume the devs intentionally designed this underground belt ability. This is why they won't create new type of belts (such as a divider one)

Though, it's hard to imagine a new art solution for this. Feel free to post your ideas (pictures can help) Maybe create a little gap (20% of the size of a plastic bar) would be enough Maybe the openned side could be something like this tapis sstt.png Or a metallic "cat door" ccdd.png Also ...

Hello, I know the trick to swap/split lanes of a belt with the underground belt trick . But I don't use it. Why? I feel like it's an exploit, like cheating. I feel like it's an ugly way to solve a problem. Mainly because the art of the underground belts looks like they cannot to that: http://i.imgur...

Hello, I think I found a bug that replicate items.
