My proposal is this: Follow in the footsteps of Starcraft, or Blockalnd and allow players to use the demo copy to connect to games hosted by someone who own the game. This is not posible in Factorio since demo version does not contain all entity data that full version does. Now adding multiplayer s...

Currently making such mod would be quite hard. Why? Factorio doesen't have underground plain and the only entities that alow undergound passages (pipes, conveyors) are limited to horizontal or vertical directions.

No problem. I had same problems as you the first time I was using the editor myself.

First check your game settings to see how many treads is Factorio alowed to use. When you are playing your game without recording you could set the number of allowed threads to be the same as number of virtual cores available (on your computer that will be 8). But when you are recording the gameplay...

In order to edit inventory contents of entities like (player, chests, turrets, etc) first deselect your current item by pressing "Q". After that left click on an entity to opent its inventory. Note based on your game settings you might need to use right click instead.

I must say that I realy like this. This is a realy good idea.

So you are thinking something like a hydraulic press then? Right?

Having additional viewports could be quite usefull. But you have to realize that this could affect performance quite a bit. Why? Currently game is rendering the game scene to one big image which is then shown on your monitor once the rendering is complete. Now since rendering the whole image from sc...

How about a layered map instead where you can enable/disable cetain layer and thefore filter what is shown on map and what not.

It sometimes happens that you spawn in the middle of the ocean biome. The island itself is the starting area. Bigger the starting area you chose bigger the island will be. Luckily you have fond out soon that you are on an island. In one of my gameplay I spent about 3 hours of gameplay before I reali...

Problem is: is that useable? For example when in fight, where you eventually really need to turn around fast. But again: let's try. :) You could always add a modifier key for fast turning when needed. For istance pressing A starts turning left slowly. But pressing Shift+A it starts turning left rap...

I'm sure they get swamped with already answered questions all the time. Fortunately for now they arent's swamped with same questions over and over again due to the fact that Factorio comunity isn't to big and still quite slowly expanding. But unfortunately that will probably quickly change once Fac...

I think it is like this from the very early versions of game. The tip system was initially intended to be some kind of a tutorial. That was becouse actual tutorial system was added to the game. I do agree that Factorio should show different tip each time or maybe just a random one. But then again I ...

It's not a bug, only a inaccuracy in the settings label. The max threadds settings only changes maximum number of some threads... Audio, map generation and lots of other things have their threads regardless of this settings :-) Since when is that? I haven't noticed this before. I remember that when...

All the question you are asking have already been asked right at the start when developers shared their intention on implementing hte multiplayer support. So if you search a bit back on the forums you will find more information on this. I belive that biggest discusion about this happened in one of F...

Hmm that is strange. There shouldn't be so many threads created based on your current MaxHtreads setting. I'll have to do some testing to see if Factio there might be a bug which causes Factorio to ignore this setting.

Actually I'm planning to use this idea in one game I'm making myself (still in early development). So when I have example of such system I will definitly show it to developers so they can see how it works in practice.
Now when will this happen I unfortunately can't say at this time.

Using mouse to steer the car in Factio would not be a viable option becouse the mouse can be used for so much other things (shooting, placing objects, selecting items from toolbar etc) even while driving. Instead I would recomend implementing of progressive turning that is used in almost all racing ...

Can you now doubleclick on Factorio.exe entry and switch to Threads tab so we can see how many threads does the factiorio actually use?

What is the GPU usage? I recomend using Process Explorer from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx for this. If your GPU is fully utilized then your graphics card is the reason for game slowdowns and why the CPU isn't fully utilized as it is waiting for the GPU to finish ren...
