Re: Friday Facts #327 - 2020 Vision

Just for clarification. The old tutorials are the pop-up windows at the start of the game?

Re: Friday Facts #327 - 2020 Vision

As it was quarter to midnight on Friday night (CET) I was sure that after 326 consecutive FFF releases, the streak will end. Boy, I was wrong! As far as UTC is concerned the streak is on!

Re: Friday Facts #325 - New Explosions and Particles

... so you can rest easy this holiday period without the worry of a surprise 0.18 release.
Rest easy? No. You just made this year Christmas the worst in many years. I hope this period will pass as quickly as possible, so we can start enjoying 0.18 bugs.

Re: Friday Facts #320 - Color correction

I wonder how long it will take for speedrunners to get used to the new map color scheme. It may prove to be difficult after millions of re-rolls and express map evaluations they have done so far.

Re: Friday Facts #318 - New Tooltips

Steam engines will have max temperature of the Steam. That means you cannot connect them to heat exchanges any more. Will they blow up if you connect them anyways? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Spawner generation priority

I wanted some foresty map with a lot of biters, so I have put trees and biters on maximum setting. Trees were generated ok but there was not a single biter on entire map. It would make much more sense and give some additional gameplay choices if the biter bases deleted trees around rather than the o...

Re: Friday Facts #314 - 0.17 stable

We know that there was a considerable amount of time spent playing WoW Classic in the past few weeks since the 0.17 stable was delayed so much. As far as optimizations of work go there is one good idea. Just try to do it like Coffee Stain Studio where only like 2 weeks were affected by holiday seaso...

Re: Friday Facts #313 - Light at the end of the bug tunnel

WoW Classic is not only stealing our Factorio development speed but is is also preventing us to get a decently lengthy FFF.

Re: Friday Facts #312 - Fluid mixing saga & Landfill terrain

From the loos of it is sounds like the landfill action is quite well designed. I like it however I have always thought it will be more stony texture like gravel or little rocks used to replace the water. It's great that the man taking care of fluid mixing likes it so much. However taking under consi...

Re: Version 0.17.60

If you aren't against mods: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Pre0-17-60Oil I'm not against mods in general, I'm against mods that fix bad design decisions. That is pretty good then. You will have to play the game as it is designed. After a playthrough you will see that professional game designers know...

Re: Version 0.17.60

But you need over twice as many fluid boxes to get more crude, not to mention about rail network load, so BOP may be not as UPS efficient compared to AOP as you may think. It was tested. That was pretty fast, do you have the test data somewhere to look at? https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?...

Re: Version 0.17.60

I'll just mention that the only real use for light oil was making efficient solid fuel previously. How much of it did you really spend for flamethrower? That is indeed true, but now that solid fuel isn't even used in Chemical Science, it makes both light oil and solid fuel near useless until you bu...
