I can think of two ways to get rid of wire noise on lamp arrays.
1. Hotkey that hides wires and wire connectors
2. New technology researched for circuit network wireless channels for radio frequency communication.

I agree it's funny the first time.

All this talk about balancing research doesn't make any sense to me. There is no rule that says each tier of science must cost progressively more science packs and progressively more research time. Exactly what makes these differences invalid? The game can be designed to have variance in the researc...

This could really annoy new players, I recommend this gets a solution.

Proposal: Miner must have sulfuric acid to attempt mining uranium.

I encountered the same problem while performing an in-game update.
I restarted my PC and ran the update a second time, everything worked fine.

Search first Searched water pumps in bug reports forum area and did not see any similar issues. Mods No mods installed. Version Using current game version 0.12.13 Game was originally started in an earlier version of the 0.12.* code branch. Bug Description I have attached a save game file with the p...

Same bug happens with the Burner Mining Drill.
When the fuel runs out on a burner mining drill, the sound continues to play.
0.12.10

I wouldn't be surprised if the same code is being used to activate/deactivate playing the sound file for both the electric and burner mining drills.

I was hooked by The Hydra Dilemma

I strongly urge the devs to consider the space idea as a new game with a different gameplay focus from Factorio.

I agree, even if we only have horizontal and vertical passages this would be great.

Underground train tunnels, why didn't I think of that.
It fits the current theme of belts going underground.

I like the Let's Plays and think a Let's Play subforum would do more good than ill.

They'd have to watch 4 episodes, 1 hour and 20 minutes approx. One time every five days. You have extremely exaggerated the time involved for any of the players to keep up. I pointed out the base has changed little over the last 10 episodes there is no need for them to restart from the beginning. An...

There isn't much need to spend an entire episode figuring out the general operation of everything. I have an excellent understanding of the base from watching the videos. The base has changed very little over the last 10+ episodes And all the players are allowed to watch the videos after they play.

The second spoiler in JoshLittle's post is a great example of constructive feedback. Infectum, I highly recommend you review the combat footage while reading through his analysis. Aside from that. I used turret creep for several weeks because I sucked so bad at combat. It took me a while to get a ha...

Infectum, you're getting better at combat. I suggest you load up your savegame and just practice combat. Place the distractors almost on top of the biter bases. The shotgun without piercing rounds is ineffective against large biters. The shotgun is very effective against the biter spawners. Also I a...

These two fixes make me very happy. Knowing the items were lost, I spent stupid amounts of time making sure the underground belts and arms were empty before removing them. Fixed that deconstructing transport-belt-to-ground would delete items they held (viewtopic.php?t=5667). Fixed that deconstructin...

>> ... But I'm coming to a realisation, that although the game can become bigger and bigger, the feasibility of getting to the point of having 0 bugreports and no tasks on the todolist is comparable to the feasibility of filling the infinite space with sphere made from very limited amount of resour...
