9 hours ahead, actually. Currently I'm writing this at 7:39am, and in Brisbane it's 16:39 (4:39pm). It's 9 hours later in Brisbane. We do Daylight Saving Time in Germany. Since we "spring forward" by setting our clocks an hour later, in that period your time would be 8 hours later. So duri...

Germany's all in one time zone. What time zone are you in, in Australia?

I'd be interested as well, though I'm not a fluent German speaker; I'm somewhere between B1 and B2. But same problem, what hours of the day would cover everybody?

I guess there isn't a real (automated) use for wood, because there isn't an automated way to acquire wood and wood isn't growing back. This precisely. The game is about automation, so why would the devs include a required ingredient whose acquisition can't be automated? As others have mentioned, th...

But you don't have to have your most common items on 1, you would then have them on 2 or 4 depending on how many bars you use. The idea or point I was trying to make is the default layout feels backward when you look at the full list of taskbars in the background. If you completely removed the numb...

The first thing is the taskbar; I think it should be defaulted to the reverse order than what it currently is when you start a new game. Right now they start with 1 at the top and increase as it goes down, Whereas I think 1 should be at the bottom and increase as it goes up I completely disagree. 1...

Not sure what your native language is, but you might consider writing in that language, and then using DeepL or Google Translate to render your post into English. That might be easier for us to understand.

Can you elaborate more about what you're trying to do? It might also help to include screen shots.

Not sure how much oil you can store at your stations, but if you can store multiples of 150,000, then you can put in an arithmetic combinator, divide your total oil by 150,000, and set the resulting value to your station's train limit, because it's one train load. So 150,000 would give you 1, 300,00...

Bulk inserters move items in stacks and stack inserters move items in bulk. This update will make the game unplayable

It's true, though, the names are backwards. If this change is made, then a stack inserter should become the one that...stacks.

I think the green belts should be a more vibrant green.

Currently they look rather washed-out, especially when compared with blue belts.

- search by key (there are already many boxes which, when clicked, let you enter a key. there needs to be a search box (could be to the left of search) which, when clicked, searches for the key you enter) This already exists. You just type in the key combination you're looking for. If you're lookin...

this idiot sells tshirt with middle green chip.... imagine how can I come to work to not look like idiot..

You've certainly hit on the best way to get people to take your concerns seriously, which is of course to insult them until they do as you say.

The next thing I would try is to download it directly from the Factorio.com web site (do you have a user name there?) and then try the standalone version. This would help you know whether it's a Factorio issue or a Factorio+Steam issue.

I feel like cliff removal should be super force building only, and no longer in regular force building. It is quite annoying to have to unmark cliffs from decon when building defenses that incorporate cliffs. Not to mention you need to be mindful enough to disable your roboport or remove Cliff Expl...

It's not a mobile issue. It happens on both the tablet and the phone when I'm sitting in my chair at home on Wi-Fi. The tablet doesn't have a SIM card anyway; it only has Wi-Fi. Also, I have a 500 Mbit connection, so it's hard to believe a sub-optimal internet connection would be the issue. Also, wh...

I don't know why it didn't occur to me to note this before...but probably because my Windows laptop was in the shop getting repaired.

When I have trouble viewing the animations, it's on an Android tablet or an Android phone.

Still happening today. Am I the only one seeing this?

I'm trying to read some relatively recent FFFs such as https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-374 and I notice that some animations aren't loading. I see this behavior in both Vivaldi and Chrome, on an Android tablet. Instead of the animation there's just a gray box. In Vivaldi it's possible to disable ...

Something I started to wonder upon reading: Are the new planets (practically) infinite size like Nauvis? (I know that in the Space Exploration mod many planets are quite small, but core mining ensures that you can never run completely out of resources and get stuck, as long as you have at least one ...
