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.

or is there a good way to solve that kind of problem? Seems you know production is slow, and in this case you only have the 2 trains, it'd probably be best to just set the limit static 1 vs circuit controlled. In this way, when train 1 fills up and leaves, train 2 (provided it's empty and ready) wi...

I have a stupid request: Can you add water reflections? For buildings on water and close to the water? Maybe with an option to disable them to reduce gpu/cpu strain. Now, as bridges will be added to the game, this picture looks so weird: https://cdn.factorio.com/assets/blog-sync/fff-403-manual-push...

Maybe it's a feature request?

Ideas and Suggestions?

spent a fraction of the time on compared to the new stuff. I would hope, but there is little indication that they are. As Wube writes articles for every change they make. And since we are 32 FFF from the 1 year estimation of the release of the expansion https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-373 and ve...

Maybe they are just showing 5% of the expansion content and leaving 95% of the content to be a surprise. Lets hope. Your perspective may be skewed, too. Many of the QoL improvements we've been shown they probably spent a fraction of the time on compared to the new stuff. And I'd wager, too, that of...

I posted it to this thread because it looks like that i can't post in subtopics, My idea was to post this in the section " not a bug" You can't post directly to the bug subsections... those are for devs and mods to move bug report threads to as a way of sorting and tagging the reports. Bu...

I get occasional lag when accessing the site, too. PC & phone, firefox & chrome (respectively). It doesn't occur often, but when it does, it continues to occur for upwards of a half hour. On rarer occasions, it will be bad enough the site won't even load. I'll have to keep better track of wh...

Unpopular opinion. I hope that the DLC is not just 95% QOL changes. Like don't get me wrong there great to have more QOL and it to be a forethought in the DLC I was just hoping it would account for 5% of the DLC and 95% would be net new content. I could be wrong, but I'm fairly sure that most all o...

Also, since we are talking about the map I've always wanted the the ability to search the map for a specific item and have it highlighted. For example search for radars and have them show up.

You mean like in FFF #400?

even if I unzip and zip that thing without any other changes than a single digit in a lua file, it does not appear in the list anymore. What editor do you use for editing the lua file? Lua files are plain ascii files, encoding utf-8. Don't let your editor write a BOM. Proper editors are for example...
