Developer #1: We need to figure out bot / belt balance. Developer #2: We should ask the community what they think. Developer #1: No. When we ask opinions we get hundreds of answers and end up with a worse situation than we started with. Developer #2: Yeah. The community only really hashes things ou...

It's a shame you couldn't properly link the cliffs to elevation, but we can't have everything I guess. Still, that looks like it'll do wonders for making the terrain more interesting.

I would suggest to use the new concrete graphics as bricks. New bricks graphics as cobblestone (smaller bonus but made from stone, not bricks). And make a proper "flat featureless industrial grey" concrete with sharp (not blurred!) hazard painting. I like this idea. +1 +1 Is it just me, o...

That last example picture in the FF article is amazing . I can understand what people are saying about the new blocky texture, and for a proper "concrete" look, it could be a little more... flat? Still, those transitions look great, and I can't wait to play with better aesthetics for my ba...

Rule of thumb for train networks in factorio: Use block signals only at entrances to blocks safe for trains to wait and chain signals everywhere else. Adhering to that rule i see no way a single track setup would ever deadlock. Throughput will be terrible though. Thank you for the advice. That's wh...

So I've been looking through rail network tutorials, and have a pretty solid grasp on the basics, but every guide and discussion seems to work on the assumption that you have one rail going each direction, requiring two full tracks to any destination. I'm trying to make a fully operational train net...

Anyone figured out a way around needing a buffer of 80 units u238 per centrifuge, since it always tries to grab double the recipe amount? I guess you mean U235. Yes. Here is a good one. Even without combinators. https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=202&t=45871#p274367 For explanation loo...

Thankfully, in-game achievements are tracked separately from steam (and, I think, per-gameworld), so you can still earn them legitimately.

When I fire a missile from the gunship, it puts both missile launcher and machine gun on cooldown for 2-3 minutes.

I'll reiterate my idea from another thread. 1. Keep underground belts 5 tiles long and calculate their price accordingly. 2. Allow red underground belts to go double the distance (up to 9 tiles) but consume 2 pairs of underground belts if distance exceeds 5 tiles. 3. Allow blue underground belts to...

Also, construction bots are a lot cheaper than destroyer drones, so losing a few is hardly the end of the world. Tank with uranium bullets and some proper bullet upgrades (not even counting space tech upgrades) and two roboports in your armor is basically unstoppable. And like someone else said, no ...

And maybe a roboport upgrade tech that lets it charge more than 4 bots + charge faster.

I'd rather go the other way. Barrels seem to be in a decent spot right now; but pipes could use some help. It's one of those "lost" techs like mining, where there's one variant that you use from the start of the game until the end. Only even worse, since at least there's two types of minin...

Taking off the yellow pack requirement seems the most balanced to me. It's still pushed higher (which is fine, a progression between personal logistics and bot-running your whole factory is good), but doesn't nonsensically jump two whole tiers ahead of all the related techs.

I sent a message to support, but the devs may need to dispute the claims directly.

What happened to dirty mining? D: That's the one single feature I've wanted since the first few times I've played Factorio! Same. Problem with devs stating that "mining productivity research seems to be solving the problem" is that despite all the tech you can get, your mining procedures ...

Can we please please *please* have the ability to drive straight down a road without having to install a mod?

Any idea if/when you'll be releasing an 0.15 version? Or is this a "wait for stable release" situation?

So I'm having a bit of trouble following here. What's the best bet now for moving fluid over distance? In my case, I'm running short trying to feed these new heat exchangers, if not right next to the water.
