Re: Friday Facts #375 - Quality
"Quality stacks are independent." This is absolutely dreadful for a couple of major reasons. As it stands right now in the public release, player inventory can get pretty cluttered I'd much rather there were new, unique items and structures that accomplished the same thing New unique item...

Add API hook for changing spawner result units
The ability to modify spawn chances during runtime would be nifty.

Re: Friday Facts #373 - Factorio: Space Age
Building an ammo supply infrastructure for artillery and repair/replacement infrastructure for damaged defense walls isn't trivial. It's a task that requires a non trivial amount of time. It's also a task that cannot be solved by brainlessly dumping some pre-made blueprints and let robots do all th...

Re: Friday Facts #373 - Factorio: Space Age
Well, that is like your opinion man. Biters are a big and important logistical consideration. It certainly is not a threat like a enemy AI in an RTS game, and I don't want them to be one. Factorio is a logistical simulation, where any problem is solved by logistics first and foremost. Artillery is ...

Brother, I never played a game not on deathworld marathon in the last 5 years, except for the one and only SE run I am doing right now. It's not about difficulty, or disliking enemy expansion. It's about "we will remove content from vanilla progression, around which difficulty was balanced&quo...

There is a simple solution for players that find enemy expansion difficult or annoying without artillery tech. Turn off enemy expansion.

Re: Friday Facts #373 - Factorio: Space Age
The last few years have seen an increase in core count (even if they are efficiency cores in Intel's case) and cache sizes (AMD 3D V-Cache) in even mid/low level consumer CPUs, even if the single threaded performance increase is stagnating. So taking even more advantage of parralellisation/multi-th...
