I kind of wish they would let us plant trees ... but I suppose that's kind of pointless since our pollution will cause them to wither anyway.

PS: Also not sure why they wouldn't let us remove landfill. Technical limitation?

Isn't the lore that you crash landed on this planet and have to build your way off it? Anyway, a campaign with a guided path might make the game more accessible. It can have objectives and as long as players complete the objectives, they will eventually win - the objectives of course have to be care...

I don't like "conflicting objectives" like these. You are going to have to kill biters or they are going to wreck your base. You can't play without killing them. We the player aren't given a choice. You can play without biters. In Factorio you are the bad guy, and I like that devs don't h...

In the academic world taking someone else's work and passing it off as your own is cheating or plagiarism. Still, even in the academic world, progress is built standing on the shoulders of giants. In Factorio, I guess it depends on what your personal goals are. The game doesn't consider it cheating...

"Survival of the cutest" ? Besides vegetable and plant stuff, biters are the main population on the surface of the Factorio planet. They are the locals, and somehow, from a twisted perspective, they can even be considered the bad guys. Not anymore. The magic of high resolution gives us th...

I believe megabases are build-able on Default settings. Many players use the Rich Resources setting and/or turn off biter expansions so they don't have to deal with the hassle of getting more resources or reclearing bug nests. Additional resources are acquired by exploring the map for new resource p...

Muhahaha https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=153917#p153917 Wow. It’s been over 3 years. Guess they won’t be fixing it. They should be consistent with their rounding for display else players can’t make the right call. If it shows on the storage tank as 25K, the network should read 25K too a...

Signals are the integer part of the decimal number, a tank will take forever to fill completely to 25k, so your setup will not work this way. The number on the right is rounded I think. Really? That’s unintuitive and misleading. Either way, the 2 readings should not be different. If they round up f...

Storage Tank reads 25K. tank.jpg Electric Pole (and everything else including decision combinator) reads 24K. pole.jpg The combinator circuit for converting excess Light Oil into petrol doesn't work as a result. Chemical plant for converting Heavy Oil to Light Oil shows "Fluid production overlo...

Maybe the charging port count and charging in general is to limit the range of the bots. You can have 350 construction bots and have it dismantle a 350 piece structure nigh instantly - although they all have to charge before returning into the roboport. Transporting 350 items over long distances via...

This is especially true if you just dropped a brand new train on the track - it will start filling but it won't stop. It may also be that the train is not detected by the station, missing a pixel while driving manually or adding a brand new trains could let the train seemingly on the station, but t...

I have 4 inserters at an output loading ores into a train wagon. 2 of them are set to enable when iron < 625 2 of them are set to enable when copper < 625 Somehow I ended up with a train full of copper. Also tried loading ammo onto the same wagon. Set inserter to enable when ammo < 200. Sometimes th...

How about instead of death at 0%, it just pops an invulnerability shield and return to their logistic network/personal roboports to repair for like a few minutes? Placing the roboports far away from the walls don't help when I helping defend the walls and the construction bots in my personal robopor...

Either you are ready for them when they evolve and relentlessly swarm you. Or you are doomed. There is no way I know of to "recover". Can't build weapons / research if low on resources. Can't get more resources as it requires time and/or exploring new sites to set up bases - due to non-sto...
