Could you make it so that non-unlocked things show as question marks in the Factoriopedia (so if an object is Made By a factory we don't have yet, it shows up as a question mark). This would stop potential spoilers. I know you can see the items by looking at the research tree, but it's a far more an...

I don't like how the new pseudo-items are completely free compared to their old item counterparts (especially the remote). Thinking a bit about it more, I had an idea about how this could be extended to solve some of the other problems with the game, and add the costs back too. Currently, there are ...

Using words like "Uncommon" and "Legendary" makes it sound almost magical, which is total in the opposite direction of what this game is about

I can't wait to find Legendary Shotgun of the Jackal +1, with higher crit chance and added bleed damage per shot!

"This mechanic is optional." I completely agree with your analysis here. I will go on record and say "It's optional" is the most dangerous statement ever said by game developers. Namely because: - When a mechanic is optional, it has to deal with two contradictory positions. On o...

It seems that it will take a long time to obtain recycling, and this is because of the quality system? You don't have the recycler soon in the game, so you can't really just recycle to get the best stuff, the most common way how to start with the quality is to just insert some quality modules into p...

BIters are a "solvable" event, where with logistics and a ton of research there exists an equilibrium, where they pose a threat, but can not overwhelm you, if you do the necessary precations. It gives a nice feeling of "I made it, I am the boss here, I dictate where I can expand, and...

> I HATE them with the burning intensity of 10,000 suns when they get in the way of my bus. They kinda exist to discourage the community from just blueprinting the perfect bus. Honestly the best way to play this game is to only use your own blueprints. The ultimate goal of Factorio is to discover t...

This post is probably going to make everyone hate me, but... Factorio in general seems to be stuck in this weird contradictory middle-point between automation/puzzle game and tower defence game. The long, slow factory building gameplay somewhat contradicts with the need to constantly defend yourself...

I have a few questions about this expansion. Just for context, I am a somewhat experienced player, but not an expert. I have finished the game ~2 times and hardly know much about megafactories etc. I have never played the Space Exploration mod. So, question time: 1. With the new expansion, is the ga...

The way I see it, Quality of Life features that make automating things easier being tied to research == good, as it is essentially the way progression in this game works. Things that were previously manual are now automatic. While I can see your point that it's somewhat similar here, I feel like the...

Can't you use a combination of on_player_dropped_item and on_player_armor_inventory_changed to detect this already? You can probably compare the tick values of all the events, and any that match the same time as the inventory change event get added to a container. I have only made 2 mods so far, so ...

TL;DR When a building is destroyed, a ghost of it should automatically be placed in the location where it was destroyed. This already happens when you have construction robots, but I propose it should happen always (via a setting) What ? I tend to find that, especially in the early game, when I am ...

EDIT: Don't worry, I'm dumb

Good to know.

It would be nice to be able to run at higher framerates, although I guess there's no real benefit.

Also after playing for a day or so, either the stuttering is gone, or I have just gotten used to it.

So, I have made a mod which reduces the players reach to 1 tile. However, this also breaks all the tutorial demonstrations, for instance the "place power poles by dragging" tutorial, as the click instead says "not enough range" rather than actually showing the action. I decided t...

Hey there, I'm playing the game using a 75Hz monitor. Gameplay seems "choppy", as if it's missing frames When I turn on "Show Framerate" in the Steam overlay settings, it says the game is running at 60Hz I have tried turning on and off VSync, but to no avail, it still sits at 60f...
