That first (and third) WIP track sounded... really bad. Distractingly bad. I hope that's "just started" WIP not "final touches" WIP. Agreed. I hope that they either massively improve this or give us a way to turn the procedural bit off. (I still love the human music from the pre...

I hope everyone at Wube knows that they're not just making a video game, they're bringing joy to people, and offering a wonderful escape in this troubled world.

The planet looks neat, and I'm excited that there are new resources. but they are difficult to build on until you get cliff explosives Ugh. Cliffs have got to be one of the most complained about features in the base game, to the point where many people simply turn them off. I hope the devs will con...

This all looks good EXCEPT the faster belt tier looks yellow. Factorio color palette has always been strange and an acquired taste, fine. But please don't make us try to distinguish between yellow belts and "sickly greenish yellow" belts.

This all looks like good stuff. I barely used circuit networks in past play-throughs; these QoL and UX changes might get me to use them more often.

This looks amazing. I actually have no complaints, which is rare for me, and high praise.

The limitation of only one per planet might sound weird, but we just find it fitting, because otherwise (we tried that) it is too convenient to put them all over the place This feels really off. So we can build gigantic bases, spanning a solar system of planets ...but only one landing pad? I don't ...

Anybody else getting Cosmoteer* vibes from this post? (in a good way) Space platforms can specialize in different tasks, so it can be motivating to optimize them for different design goals. You can aim to make a huge platform that can load thousands of items, or a small platform with capacity sacrif...

the ghosts will change tint when they have been assigned a robot to construct them, so you can tell at a glance if there is a robot on the way and/or if you have the required materials in the network

Neat! Cool idea

The goal is to be able to use remote view for everything you can do locally. The motivation is also to remove as many inconsistencies as possible between the local and remote building I understand the goal of using remote view for consistency between local and remote building. But have you consider...

Nice update. Any chance we could see an improvement to messy wires and remove the need for mods like Power Grid Comb? Right now, when you place a new pole, you sometimes get bizarre, diagonal extra wires. It creates tedious rework for people who like a neat power wires setup.

I've been wanting this for years!

Awesome work by all the engineers. Can't imagine the work that went into it.

It'll be excruciating waiting for the DLC...

Maybe we can get tunnels or rail bridges in the future too?

I am in love with the Trigger Technologies idea! It feels natural and looks to improve even the base game.

I agree the Quality tier names are boring and un-thematic. The current names give me flashbacks of grindy-MMO type games.

Great to finally see an update with real details. Like others, I do have a few concerns: Pushing cliff explosives and artillery back seems to make little sense: cliffs are notoriously so annoying that many people turn them off, and artillery has long felt too delayed already in the tech tree I wonde...

Cliff explosives should act similar to grenades, which do cause damage to trees and rocks and the player.

I too wish grass and ores were covered by concrete.

Blueprint import/export should be a modded feature: Agree, but I've never used blueprint import after 192 hours of play, so this likely varies by personality Biters should be more aggressive, and probe your defenses: Agree! I know some people turn off biters, but I love building defenses and biters ...

@JPUT I am glad I'm not the only one who is driven a little nuts by the large poles not lining up with the small.

@jona5 great suggestion on the 45 degree angles!
