I start to wonder if people are playing a different version of the game than I am. I lob a nuke, then *RUN* because it's going to obliterate everything in the area, and the blast radius is larger than my firing range.

You can already throttle nuclear fuel consumption by using fluid tanks to store steam, and circuit networks to only load fuel when steam runs low. Here's a save with an example reactor design. I don't see "steam" as an option to filter on with my circuit network. It's not listed in fluids...

It seems odd to me that there's no throttling of nuclear power, considering that the process is fairly simple, and that other power sources don't have issues with overconsumption. Could we get some sort of control rods tech maybe, to allow adjustment of fuel consumption? Even if the insertion percen...

How does this compare with the new "train world" vanilla game setting?

I've said it before, but I just feel the need to reiterate...

I absolutely love the level of dev communication on this game. If some other games I follow did half as much, I'd be a very happy person.

I love reading these little behind the scenes details. Friday Facts is honestly one of the highlights of my week.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again. I absolutely love your continuing dedication to game performance. It's fun to hear about these odd little bits in the code that you're cleaning up, too.

I don't know how they did it for the demo video, but you can do it just by dropping items on the belt or by placing them one at a time into a chest with an inserter emptying it. Labour-intensive, but not difficult ;) I was thinking about the chest/inserter, but I don't know how to get it all perfec...

I just wanna know how you sequenced those items on the belts. o.o To sidetrack from the "I don't want speakers" complaints, going to quote myself here. Seriously, I don't know if this is a failure of my imagination or what, but is there actually a way to sequence a conveyor belt like in t...

If I may offer a "simple" solution to clearing out biter nests in the late game, that makes it fun, intuitive while also resource/investment heavy: Modular awesome tank behemots, like this: http://i.imgur.com/2ITNMTr.jpg But with a grid like we have for power armor - let us put shield and...

Regarding turret creep, I'll second what someone earlier suggested with the "mortar" worm, lobbing slow projectiles that priority-target structures. Regarding weapon balance, I have only one comment. I REALLY think the rocket launcher should not be rapid fire. Instead of raising its RoF, j...

Until this time factorio was a game which could open up your creativity and did forgive you any kinds of mistakes letting you find your own way of playing it. You can also change the way you play at any moment by redoing your whole base if you wish. This is only true if you play on peaceful. Mistak...

Guys, I'm pretty sure the terrain decorations aren't going to be randomly changing. They said they're changing how it's saved, not "not saving it at all".

Need a train schedle departure requirement of "have recovered all robots"

And again, just having the map revealed doesn't load it in memory. You'd have to make every single map chunk "active". Requiring thousands of radar units and some way to power them.

Agreed. As it stands, it's still frustratingly difficult to properly load a maintenance-restocking train. A separate inserter for each item, and carefully-set slot filtering on the cargo car.

I really want to know how this was managed. No bugreport link to explain it. o.O

Nope, totally unrelated issue. I didn't know about that one though, so I'll have to watch out for it.
