Re: Friday Facts #292 - Inching closer to stable

Speaking of mods, it could be good if we were able to enable, disable, download and update some mods without having to load all the mods for nothing, especially with the 0.17 where the mods loading take one or two minutes and where the game freeze for an additional minute when you reload the mods I...

Re: Friday Facts #290 - Rail building changes & High-res icons

The change to rails annoys me a LOT. I avoid destroying as much of the landscape as possible when building a factory. I love having a factory nestled in the trees.

Re: New players - share your tutorial / campaign experience

Hi I discovered factorio about 2 weeks ago, loving it so far. I played through the tutorial campaign (took about 8 hours), now I'm about 30 hours into my first freeplay game.
