I have previously advocated for 3D factorio, so it is on-topic as a game suggestion. Moving this from suggestions to off topic seems a Word of God statement from the developers that Factorio will NEVER be 3D. Sigh. Well, yes, Factorio as it currently stands will never be 3D. That would require a hu...

Some gamers still around from the earliest early access development versions seem to have a trauma about oil production and perpetuate this trauma. I'm not from that time, but from what I read, advanced oil processing (the recipe for turning crude oil into heavy oil, light oil and petroleum gas) se...

Sorry if I missed any posts or replies regarding the same topic, but I just wanted to add a voice of concern that examples from this and previous FFF are very disturbing and I hope they're examples from some action-packed events, like biter attacks, lightning storm events (if they're not constant, ...

My only suggestion/request is please make this moddable, or add a system where the user can supply a config file with "pre-arranged" tracks (such as lists of integers representing sample ids). That way, players could "compose" their own tracks, share tracks, use AI to generate t...

3D factorio for me is 3D graphics, with no change to the top down perspective.

I feel pretty much the same, though I'd like to have camera rotation and possibly tilt (so I can watch from the ground perspective as my turrets battle waves of enemies ).

Last week examples were from much much farther stage in the production. This week's examples are tech demos to show what the system is capable of. First example is showing tiny samples and a lot of randomization, the second example is on the other side of the spectrum with longer samples and little...

Ooh are those waiting stations with a singular train stop??

Unless I'm missing something, you can do that now....

It says you have 2527 posts. I think your opinion maybe a little biased. Well, I have been posting here for the past... 7 years? And have been voicetress at times, some times even against changes the devs made. You're biased, too ("Been burned to many times by Devs"). If these devs had a ...

Been burned to many times by Devs. Believing is seeing.

Then wait until it's out and judge for yourself then. Posting about it now does no good. I mean, most devs don't even release half as much information about their dlcs/expansions as Wube has already until release day....

Anybody else get the impression the DLC is very lite on actual new items

Nope, because I know the devs are trying to leave some things to be discovered/a surprise.

Could we get a more detailed look into the thrusters and/or the space logisitics in general? Because one thing that always strikes me as odd, is that all long videos of space platforms so far, show the thrusters running intermittend. Why? Do they need to cool down? Any other explanation I could com...

2.0 may make this easier to accomplish, too, with the full belt reader. What's easier than circuitless sushi? XD Have you tested it under the concept of one of the science packs running out completely and then making sure it can re-insert even if the current belt completely empties out of it and th...

2.0 may make this easier to accomplish, too, with the full belt reader.

In FFF 382, they mentioned "heavier weapons" for space platforms. Even heavier than Artillery? ^^ What do they want us to fight? Cthulhu? ^^ No, just heavier than normal gun turrets. Having finally gotten the chance to watch the video and seeing the rocket turrets, those could be it (or t...

Also that is one big frikkin Asteroid. How are you supposed to defend against those, the ton of Gun Turrets was clearly not enough! Probably have to upgrade the damage output or more likely... artillery. Maybe artillery isn't unlocked on that save yet to blast that one to pieces before it enters th...

If you create a second steam account you can do a "family share" or something like that on steam. Aka he can use games from your steam account without buying them. But i am not sure if you can play both online with this tactics, but you can easily try for free. You can't through Steam: ht...

I don't know what's stored in the replay file, but yes understandable that code changes mean a broken replay. Afaik, the map exchange string, mods used, and player inputs. So a replay is nothing more than another, fully simulated game session using the same map & mods (if any), where the "...

While I get and sympathize with the frustration, the only way for the game to "run as" another version is if it kept all of the data (game files) from that version to use (uses a lot of space). And just letting it run anyway, a single change, however minor, can very easily result in wildly...

Time for the yearly bump

Then I guess it's time for the yearly counter comment of being against this unless it's an option. I like and want the game to pause when I open the research window.
