Hi, first of all I want to note that I didn't read all the pages beforehand and I think I won't reply to any following ones. I'd just like to post my opinion for the devs to read and concider. I don't mind Bots existing but I like to build my factories based on belts supportet by Bots to evade usele...

This bug can be reproduced in my play as well, This time Version 0.16.3 It seems to have to to do with the shifting mechanic with diagonal shoretiles. I moves left against the shore tile and was pushed against a miner. I guess I couldn't move into the Miner so I got pushed into the water and I can't...

Hello, I am currently trying a modded map which highly increased material demands and research requirements which let me play the map a looong time. This map has over 279hr and 20 min runtime by now and it consistently throws the following error: Error while running event on_tick(ID 0) ...team/steam...

I do like the automatic pathfinding for trains, but I have a practival question: An A* track will most probably a quite curvy road. in addition, most railsystems work with at least 2 lanes to avoid crashes. is there any planning for automatic doubletrack rail building? Just take a brief look at root...

It is hard to make visually appealing pictures for such presentations. Taking these simply out of game usually isn't the best choise as handmade pictures for presentations are better to convince people to buy the game. I tried to make a few Oil small.PNG trainstation.PNG smeltery.PNG attack.PNG

This is a review I wrote on another website. This is just a not further commented report. If you want to describe Factorio in a few words, 2D modded Minecraft or Minecraft meets SpaceChem would be the most fitting description. It is about starting with a bare minimum in a hostile environment and bu...

If it is your website, you should check the spelling and translation of the content. It seems to be made by a simple web translation.

Thanks for the help, but that one just influences the minimap, not the large extended map.

Any other idea?

Hello this might seem like a pretty luxurious problems but I wanna play without the ability to see the red pollution indicators you see with the info view enabled (the alt key view). I've looked in the forum and wiki, sadly without any help and I could only remove the pollution cloud on the minimap ...

does that blueprint have laserturrents in it?

I just discovered the following reproducable bug: requirement: I have a blueprint for my rail network that also has several turrents for defense in it. they were arranged in the old 1x1 size pattern, not the new 2x2 size. The blueprint is in my quickbar. I try to pick it up to be able to place it ->...

several people have mentioned the imbalance between gun and laser turrents because of size and costs. energy is much cheaper than ammo + logistics. in addition, ammo is just way too weak. to fight any of the tier 3 enemys, and I guess they will be useless vs the new Tier 4 biters. Maybe there should...

yay, project management.... let's see Red is for bugs... wait, why are there bugs listed for backlog? Pink seems to be audio. Oh I am so looking forward to kill those annoying logistic robot sounds. Blue might be networking and internet stuff Orange could be new game mechanics and items light green ...

so much juicy high performance code.
I wish I could do an internship at your place to learn more about such a speed oriented code.

Btw, how often do you use pointers? I heared pointers eat performance : http://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/data-locality.html

Wow, you are maintining a complicated simulation of thousands of objects, and you just manage to make it even more efficient. I wish i could dive into this code and bath in it's performance tweaks. Is it possible to make a sneak peek into the engine you've build? From all I've heared, 0.12 will be a...

if you are working on the signal system, could you add some checkable states for the trains as well like wagon empty or wagon full? that would help my train system a lot, and it would save me from tinkering with the times every time miners run out (lil exaggeration, but it should make a point). If w...

Have fun in india.

What about new information about the current new lategame plans?

Hey Tomas,

you said you use codility to test coding skills.
Could you give some examples on which level is required if someone wants to work at your company?
I am an apprentice in software developement and I want to know which level is required to work in game developement.

I'm really looking forward to the MP patch.

Is it üossible, that the devs took my idea for spitters?

finally, a good mod launcher. I was thinking of building something like this myself, but I haven't got enough experience. if you want a good git-tool, try tortoiseGit or sourcetree.
