Re: Does barreling make any sense now?

Please be more specific. How is it better than just putting lubricant in a liquid wagon? :oops:

Does barreling make any sense now?

Is there a situation in which you decide to go for barreling liquids instead of using pipes and liquid wagons? I can´t seem to think of any where this would make sense now. If you have a design where this brings an advantage, please let me know. I haven´t run any numbers or anything, just seems like...

Flash and mushroom cloud effect for nukes

Not a critical issue or anything but I really do think the nukes need to look more spectacular.
Please add a nice little mushroom cloud and perhaps a bright flash on the center of the blast. Blast radius and the actual damage is already jolly good IMO.

Re: Friday Facts #187 - Space science & 0.15 graphics

I sincerely hope you guys actually have the release pretty much good to go already and instead of more weekend testing you have time to have a nice 0.15 release party. Have a drink or two :) Tuesday seems like a very good choice for a release day. This way you have the whole monday to sober up and p...

Am I the antsiest one here? Can´t believe nobody has asked this. At what time on tuesday will the release be?

Come to think of it, a nice big fat countdown on the website would be nice :twisted:

Re: Friday Facts #187 - Space science & 0.15 graphics

Belting the science center will be challenging with so much different science packs though... okay so if you "only" need to feed 8 different kinds of science packs then you can run 2 belts on each side of the labs, each belt having 2 types of packs, one per lane. If that is not enough the...

Re: Friday Facts #187 - Space science & 0.15 graphics

But surely there is a 64 bit version of XP, and the game would work with that, no? And I would think it is more than a 50% chance he actually has xp x64

I don´t know about my reaction to reading that FFF. I am a bit confused. I started reading it and first I was focused, then I started getting a bigger and bigger grin on my face with only a minor side thought of please prioritise high res inserters before slapping myself in the cheek. Then I went on...

Re: Infinite research

I guess that is a good thing, even if it is not toggleable. I mean... nobody is going to actually *force* me to spend over 9000 science bottles to get 1% more turret damage. I can just stop researching any time I want :)

Re: Infinite research

I believe it was mentioned in friday facts that this will indeed become a feature in 0.15. edit: I searched for it and it seems it is not a sure thing but they are considering it at least: https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-159 Personally though, I dont like it.

Re: Attacking biters with turrets makes all weapons pointless

I think destroyer capsules + flamethrower is already pretty close to making turret creep less of a no brainer in late game. Maybe a minor buff to armor and these weapons and it would be ok.
I am still firmly against nerfing turrets. Better buff other stuff instead.

Re: Easter Egg: Puking

Look at what you have done now. Your suggestion made devs start implementing this puking feature, they also need to optimize it and run another two weeks of automated and manual testing to make sure they don´t puke all over the nuclear reactors as well and destroy the whole factorio.

Re: Friday Facts #183 - Aiming for the release date

With regards to 0.15 release, please take your time.

Take all the time you need for making a good quality patch.

And most importantly take all of that time as soon as possible.

Take all of it now!

And be done with it already!

I want it now!

Come on!

Re: Start game with grenades?

Not all of the current starting items are necessary either.

Im not saying you should start with a tank, rocket and a satellite but having some explosives to start with would be nice :)
