I'm always surprised when someone posts something vulgar. If you want factorio to be a game geared at people of all ages, even people below 18, you need some basic rules about swearing, calling people names and flamewar-ing (stupid, ugly, loser, gay etc), and you also need some rules about sfw (safe...

It's hard to imagine a viable role for nuclear energy while solar panels and accumulators work as they do. Agreed, Solar is just TOO GOOD of a solution right now, there is no risk of danger to a solar plant for any reason, the only drawback is using massive tracts of land needed for panels and accu...

License isn't needed to run software, it's perfectly legal to run software regardless. Not if you didn't purchase it or get permission to use it from the author, either thru a freeware license or other agreement. You can't just find a CD on the street and declare you own and have rights to that sof...

Yes it does. Copyright is about the exclusive right to make copies. Copyright infringement (casually speaking "piracy") is a violation of the copyright holder's exclusive right to make copies. That's all there is (until DRM is involved, but I'm assuming it is not, why would the official &...

Then you're heading into artificial time unit territory. I doubt it would be less confusing. Also, Megawatt/day would result in a base unit of J/s². It should be Megawattday. I already explained why I think kWh and MWh is not feasible. I was responding to kWs and MWs, which is a higly unusual unit ...

It is not an illegal torrent since they made it. All the copies are legal if the developers themselves willingly participated in making the copies. It is therefore legal to download. You don't need a license to run software you have legally obtained, as I explained (the temporary copy thing). Tempo...

This is a lie. What I was saying that DRM isn't some magical property attached to things. It's always a specific technology and I was speculating what parts of SC2 are DRM and what are not. You are twisting my words. Not cool. Not a lie at all. Reread what I asserted, I was very specific to specify...

On trading, it would be really cool if, say, you make a railway to their base, and use it to transport goods back and forth, you know, automating every single thing :P I don't know, you would think the biters might prefer a system that doesn't fart little puffs of pollution in their faces as it dri...

Not this again... As a legitimate user I really want to install the patches from an official USB stick, but they aren't sending me one in the mail! They should provide this type of service! I really want to do my updates this way, can't you see they're restricting what legitimate users can do? Beca...

Did you post a link on a forum that increases your chance of winning? If so, that is kind of sleazy. (Sorry, no offense, just think that is quite crude) You might as well post your outwar link or some other game that lets you get bonuses to your character for getting others to sign up. Sorry if I mi...

Sorry, you are correct kWh, and 1000 kWh would equal 1MWh.

Maybe the presence of human structures could cause a "biter spawner" to release some kind of corrosive cloud or spore cloud that moves towards the structures slowly, giving the player a small opportunity to pick up his structures and leave, or watch his structures melt into the ground. I i...

What about something like Megawatt/days? (ingame days of course) Edit: to me, megajoules is more confusing than megawatt hours (days) and yes I graduated highschool. Where I live, we deal with our electric bills in megawatt hours and my own experience getting my girl to TURN OFF THE FLIPPING LIGHT W...

I don't understand your meaning, the bar at the top of that screenshot seems to show the progress of research, but I don't see how it indicates the number of research centers conducting research. Maybe somewhere on the current research bar you could put an indicator that shows: WorkingLabs(TotalLabs...

Bots wont harvest chests if they have stuff in it. The construction bots (not logistics) will take the contents to the closest storage box Interesting, I could swear I used a destruction blueprint thingy to cause a chestsplosion but maybe I am mistaken or the behavior was changed. To be honest, I d...

Nvm what I originally, posted, I get it now. The no, yes, no thing was short to the point of being confusing. I've been trying to send people private messages when they want to deviate too far from the original topic to continue these deviations in private. I haven't gotten good results doing this, ...

Well, I must agree, this is not trolling. But hard at the border. :) Cause nobody needs to response to every sentence. If that would be true... pffff. :) I make an easy example: Look at this post, I took the most important part from above and answer to that. It's easy and this makes conversation in...

Better to let this thread fizzle out by not adding fuel to the fire. In other words, please don't feed the troll. Lol, trolls always respond to individual points in block format and try to be courteous even when others are being rude right? I used to troll the stormfront (neonazi) forums, trolled h...

@ssilk I find it much more difficult to shorten my postings, than to elongate them. Coming to the point. Removing useless sentences or even words. Make it easier to read. Much to learn here, how to make it wrong. ;) I would agree, except people just reassert their earlier unaddressed points as a rep...

Privacy! Maybe he's ashamed of how he plays and does not want to be criticized about his playing style by others when he shows off his creations. 800 dead babies in a septic tank does make me sort of self conscious. Not ashamed though, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Is it even possible? Is it someth...
