The issues with the proposed "clock" system are as follows: Buffers aren't free. You are basically asking for the complete game state to be duplicated. My computer is struggling as is with the current memory use of Factorio. You think in silicon, not software. Silicon is great in that it c...

I don't understand where everyone is pulling these research numbers from. The research revamp will happen at the same time and prevent using the current research recipes.

The blinking is an artifact of the game updating pollution for each map sector once a second. It's all staggered so that sectors are pseudorandomly assigned a tick to be updated.

You do understand that they can't change the achivements system on steam, right? No custom marking there.

And achivements don't register when you have mods. For that exact purpose.

Be careful with active provider chests. They can easily fill your entire storage if you aren't careful.

To test how the base works with an overloaded powergrid.

Most stuff requires power. Some more than others. It would be nice to be able to measure how much a group of entities requires. Trying to do this would require separating the equipment to a separate power grid, which is certainly doable. The issue then becomes supplying that grid separately. There a...

I did notice that one. Problem is, Lua isn't an in game control panel. And it would really benefit from unique art.

A simple electric device that only sits there and consumes a precisely controlled amount of power.

As a native Swedish speaker i've tried typing swedish in the chat. It all works fine. Except that the chat is opened and closed by the Ö key, making it impossible to type that character. Pasting it from another program works. Is there a way to remap the key? It seems to be missing from the keyboard ...

Sounds like it could be fixed quickly by checking for miners to reactivate when adding the resource. But, ehhh, not worth the effort. If i'd get to choose, I'd file it as a WONT_FIX.

And normal inserters fail to grab items from blue belts. This is a systemic issue and not limited to just burner inserters.

The game takes a few moments to load. During the load I have plenty of time to start Winamp and begin playback. But if I do this during the initial loading of the game, the audio fails to initialize. Note: Having Winamp already running when the game is started is not a problem. Nor is starting Winam...

There seems to be no way to get the actual entity responsible for killing another entity. Only the force they belong to.

First off, train signals don't allow this trick. Second, this trick requires a decent amount of precision each time it is used. Thusly, the potential for abuse is low.

They forgot to link this one in the changelog. Please file it as done.

I made the assumption that you would get a different inventory the first time you connect to a game and another when you respawn. The system is much less gameable if you only give freebies the first time.

Of all the resources in Factorio, Fish is the least popular one. It is used in exactly zero recipes and can't be automatically mined. Many players don't even know that you can mine the fishes! For those who don't know what they can be used for, they can be eaten. To regain some health. That's it. So...

Factorio is already setup to produce recipes, not items. Otherwise you couldn't do things such as the oil barreling while also making new empty barrels.

It's quite silly to be given the same inventory no matter how far into the tech tree the game is when joining a multiplayer server for the first time. Perhaps swap the burner drill for an electric drill once that has been researched? Perhaps add in some free belts and/or inserters when those have be...
