Re: Friday Facts #47 - CRC fun

We all knew that the multiplayer would be a hard and stony road with no releases... if anything i'm surprised we are still getting very regular bugfixes and even some small add-ons to our game experience. While i certainly hope for more and bigger features, it was clear that something as big as mult...

Re: 0.10.8

Nicely done.

Let's all take a moment to remember 0.10.7... it had a short life, riddled with bug reports. It tried hard, but ultimatly it failed (the windows users). Farewell 0.10.7, farewell.

Re: BUG: Dedicated by: (extremely many names)

As far as i know it's a feature. There are hundreds if not thousands of names in the game. So it's kinda difficult to find a certain name. But someone, somewhere will very soon place down a train station or lab and it will read "COHL7500". P.S: Ingame name lists are updated with the patche...

Are you guys on Steam or Greenlight? Not yet. We plan to further improve the game and try to get on steam in the 2015. If I buy the game now will I be able to get a Steam key? Yes, if we get on Steam you will have a choice whether to "own" the game at our website or on Steam. Source=Facto...

Re: Extended radar

I do agree that we need more ability for long range ressource searches... and maybe even intel on the surroundings. After thinking about it, i'm somewhat unsure about the "direction and distance" approach to it. Like in my game right now, there is iron not to far away on the map. Problem i...

Re: Small Pumps + How to kill the "zergs" + Alientech

I wouldn't expect a lot in the next few updates content wise. While there is still some work done on graphics and even some new stuff, 2/3 or even 3/4 of the Devs power go into multiplayer atm. While i agree that we could use more endgame goals (besides the Missile Defense), we have to make do with ...

Re: Difficulty presets in freeplay

If you like trains (ofc you like trains, everybody loves them :D ) try all medium settings but reduce the frequency of ressources to low or even very low while increasing the richness by 1-2 levels. I tend to do that with a large staring area and just restart 1-3 times until i've found one with dece...

Re: Small Pumps + How to kill the "zergs" + Alientech

Tower creeping is a common tactic, nothing wrong with it (until the tainted land comes into play preventing this tactic). We likely will have loads of more tools to deal with biters in the future (TANKS). Right now you can either Tower creep or build yourself one of those shiny powerarmours and shoo...

Re: Small Pumps + How to kill the "zergs" + Alientech

yep, thats a decent loadout for the power armor. I wouldn't count out bots, Distractors or even better destroyers can add a LOAD of damage. The good thing about Distractors is: They don't count against your bot limit. you can simply take like 50 of them, run around the base while shotgunning and thr...

Re: The Hydra Dilemma - A Coop Factorio Playthrough!

i'd agree that things aren't as easy as they look. Some things are "easy", but are overlooked since there isn't a hell lot of time to go around... and what certainly isn't easy is the "big" picture. How many ressources are left, where are the biters coming from and are there more...

Re: 1st Steam Engine not starting up

Welcome!

Did you connect the cable to anything that actually uses power?
And did you put some coal into one boiler to start it up? (actually forget that one, you're usind burner inserters i see)

edit: Also you might wanna switch to electric Inserters (to decrease pollution mainly).

Re: The Hydra Dilemma - A Coop Factorio Playthrough!

Slightly overtime Alex :D

But otherwise good. Let's see if negative can keep up with it.

P.S: I'm predicting some serious defense problems and ressource shortages for the next few episodes. Should be interesting, muhahaha.

Re: The Hydra Dilemma - A Coop Factorio Playthrough!

This is shaping up to be more fun then i've anticipated. With only 20 mins per episode the confusion and carried over actions/mistakes seem to increase, instead of decreasing over time... :D

Keep it up, i'm expecting the next 2 episodes within the hour! xD

Well, interesting enough. I'll try to add some useful tips. 1. Don't worry to much about placement or "looking good", especially with mines. Someday, they will run dry anyway and you will move them. As long as it works, it works. :D 2. Try placing your energy production on a place with acc...

Re: Alternate game win conditions?

As intriguing as a space elevator would be.... You're alone on a planet full of things that like nothing better to kill your pollution emitting ***. Nope, not very likely a scenario where a space elevator seems feasible.
