With all those awesome terrain changes at these planets, will there be a slight terrain generation improvement at Nauvis? I feel like the Nauvis biomes are very similar, ores generate independently on biomes and the planet suddenly feels a bit boring. Nauvis could use a bit of the "large resour...

- In the lower right, the belts seem to be passing from one island to another over the moat and oily-mud. Does it mean that they can be placed underneath the plateau, or is this some kind of new, elevated/floating belt kind of thing? It is mentioned in the post, that some areas are landfilled. Fulg...

I've read some comments criticizing the planet craft chain and I very much feel like once they try the expansion, they will like it. I believe the craft chains will be quite simple, much simpler than in other mods and smaller than at Nauvis. You will likely need to setup: feedback recycler loop to d...

If we can have 5 module slots (not to mention 50% native productivity bonus), does it means that an infinite production loop is possible with recyclers? No, recyclers return only 25% of the input resources and productivity in buildings* is capped at 300% max, so no positive feedback loop is possibl...

...It also doesn't help that both of those planets are completely lifeless and devoid of risk. I would be quite certain, that at least Vulcanus has enemies, which are not revealed yet. Lifeless Fulgora may be possible as storms posses quite high environmental risk already, but I wouldn't be surpris...

I wonder... what killed them all. Was it the weather? Was it themselves? Or something else... alive out there?

Vulcanus is Venus, Fulgora is Mars. Any objections?

At the beginning I got a feeling of emptiness and cruel hostality of lifeless nature. Once the dead civilization got revealed, I got even slightly depressed. Very dark mood. I just hope that the ruins are planet-wise phenomenon and that they are not just at the spawn

I personally can't find a fitting name for tier 4. Most popular 'Exceptional' is good with its meaning, but the name is very long imho. People will likely come ap with a way to shorten it, the same has happened f.e. with green/red/blue chips. I suggest using term 'Exemplary'

One little remark, the two most used things in the information panel (except maybe for the stack-size, etc) is likely the "Ingredients" and "Used In". The "Unlocked By" is rarely used, but now it's taking up a lot of screen space, and you would have to scroll past it e...

I feel like the new naming should address following issues: Shouldn't imply any sort of chance, rarity or even gamble All tiers should clearly define the tiers order All names should be as short as possible as the terms will get used very frequently Here I have come up with suggestions which comply ...

Very interesting insight into the map generation. Thank you very much!

Well it used only about 1 of 8 of my CPU cores and it didn't actually generate new chunks, didn't help with my confusion, what the requested chunks mean

I have tried that and it had no effect on the performance. I have used a command to force generate all requested chunks and after the unfroze after 20 minutes, the performance jumped from 16 ups to about 70 ups (requested game speed is 100x). The requested chunks had dramatic impact on performance, ...

Map generation is such that there is no water, no trees, no cliffs, no ores, no biters, basically nothing excepts rocks. The poor performance might also have something to do with requested chunks count, not sure what that means though

Hi, I am exploring the limits of Factorio engine and I am doing an experiment of generating milions of chunks via pollution. I know that pollution has a performance impact, especially on this extreme scale, but I am wondering, how do I read that from the debug menu? It says it takes about 75ms on En...

Factorio music is very nice, but after hundreds and thousands of hours it gets very repetitive. Please give us 10 more hours of music, even if it increases the price of the expansion. Pleeeaaasssseee <3

Could there be a case where you need different priority for incomming and outgoing trains? If so, I guess it can be done via circuitery, but a separate slider would be much easier.

How does this work with fluids?

This made me thinking... Can you dump fluids in assemblers? If yes, how does it work? If not... this can be abused to destroy fluids automatically. You could be automatically resetting a recipe which takes an undesired fluid.
