I am usually in the minority so it's no surprise that I really like the new colors. Especially the new night is a big step forward. Anyway, for those who don't like it, I think pollution should desaturate the colors. All clean areas should be vivid but concrete deserts that many players like to buil...

Landfill now looks brown in game: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img921/1412/qs4WEW.png But on the minimap it is still green (it is the same area as previously just zoomed out 1 level): https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/5253/HBli8s.png This landfill was created many versions ago. I am not sure...

I'm all for the oil change. When I first started playing Factorio there was a commonly used trick to dump light/heavy oil into a steam engine. This was the most efficient way until cracking but it was unintuitive and terrible mechanic and thankfully it was removed. I remember than many people cried ...

For the first time since I started playing (and it was in 0.14 times) I will have a WWF (weekend without Factorio) as I can't continue with my game due to loading crash. Please stop releasing on Fridays as this is a known terrible practice. Even if you do fix it you'd probably like to do something e...

It's the biters not artillery. FPS go up when biters die not when cannons stop shooting.

Please remove durability instead of ingredient limit on assembly machines. Durability is just annoyance, ingredient limit adds some depth to the game and affects the early game strategy for things like PvP or speed runs.

We are still looking for players. Our first attempt had only 2 people in the game, it was not very successful but still well below 8 hours.

I think that efficiency modules need a buff. This is just plain wrong that 3xEff3 = 2xEff2 on a drill. In my opinion: 1. Efficiency modules should be multiplicative instead of additive. Ex. 2x 50% reduction = 75% reduction. 2. There should be no hard limit on savings. 3. The reduction percentages of...

I'm from Europe so your early afternoon probably fits me.
I think with little organization 3 people should be able to do it in less than 4 hours.

If the game slows the more you zoom out I´d say the GPU is the bottleneck. Even though it claims to have only 40% load . Maybe it is the memory interface (no dedicated memory, as far as I can tell from the specs), maybe thermal throtteling. No, this is usually because of render preparation taking m...

First we need more players... That's the main problem. We can probably do it with 2 players but that's not what I'm looking for.
Then we need some discussion and agreement on the game plan.
And then someone hosts a game and we go and get it.

I don't think there are any pernamemt servers for speed runs. However it is not a problem to host a game... I did TINS with another player in 0.14 and I've always been interested in doing organised run with many players. I am not a fast player myself but I believe with good organisation and many ave...

Kovarex, You miss the most important pros for some people, especially the ones who have big/mega bases doing infinite research - with research queue you can leave the game running without your attention and not have to be there when the research finishes. Yes, you can do big buffers for science pack...

This is a bug that I'm experiencing quite often. I believed this was due to a low number of bots but I now have 3+k idle construction bots and the deconstruction order is just unreliable. This is what happened: 1. I deconstructed a bunch of laser turrets inside a logistics network area. Due to the w...

For me the fun of attempting a speed run would be to coordinate a team of people, solo speed running is not something I would enjoy.

I am not convinced whether it's a bug (maybe that's some hidden feature I don't know about) but for as long as I remember (at least since 0.15) the game sometimes stops for me and the grid is displayed: https://preview.ibb.co/cQyzvx/Grid.png The menu works fine, I am able to save the game and then l...

The point is: Halving (or doubling) the number leads to fundamental changes. Just try to go from a single to a 2/4/8 lane train network. Or go from a single subfactory producing a certain product to 2/4/8. Going from a single drop-off point for a good to 2/4/8. You will see that each factor of two ...

I do not do anything fancy. 1. I expand my whole terrain by walling it off by walls of lasers so I do not defend mining outpost separately. 2. I do junction from the main two rail tracks by blueprints (using personal robots) then place rails with loop at the end in the middle of few ore patches (it ...
