Yeah... gun turrets... if I wanted to switch, I would need roughly 500-600 of those (assuming one row is enough). With attacks pretty much every couple seconds, my entire factory would have to be dedicated to nothing more than piercing rounds. Well, no, you don't need that many actually (I play on ...

But where are your walls? Also fast and express belts can help keeping biters away. I do not loose turrets on meele range bitters. Not after the three row upgrade. I loose them on ranged ones. Last time I checked, walls did not stop those. Belts... yeah. tried that. Replace 'can' with 'might' and y...

Looking good. If you do push the steam release back make sure to not stop with 0.13. Would just allow you to release with more content. Picking the right time to go live is so important.

Good luck, lovin the game.

semi secret mini project with 8 legs I really hope it's a new enemy (even though we got the spitters not that long ago) - we really need an enemy that's either FAST (faster than a biter, at least) and weak OR is slow but tough - main idea would be that they are able to climb over our walls and get ...

interesting idea. I'm not sure it would enhance gameplay as make things more difficult to understand Could be an interesting addition though.

+1 great idea that would really seem to enhance late game gameplay.

Pretty straightforward, if you have a really long pipe it would be much faster to hold click to place pipe to grounds like you can with power poles. A way that you can do this that might help you out is make a blueprint of both ends of the pipe. That way you can lay down an underground section. Not...

Wow, that's huge. Question for you: how fast do you have to be laying conveyor belt to use up the quantity that this thing can produce? Have you calculated how much in resources it will cost to try and keep this thing running? Have you balanced your iron gear production needs to the other assemblers...

I'm relatively new at playing factorio, but one of the things that has bugged me starting out is the fact that I cannot select a starting environment. If I start in a desert or badlands environment, I quickly seem to run out of available trees to create small electric poles, well before I'm ready t...

Technicly it's not useful as the game is already adjusting fuel and water usage to the needs. Right, so you already know it does nothing useful, while introducing unnecessary brownouts when the currently enabled stages get overwhelmed. You asked for suggestions on how to improve this - the obvious ...

While I could go into a lot of nit-picky examples, my best example would be electric miners. If you only care about the energy floor, it's easy to hit for a converted resource cost of less than sixty units. That is a very low price to pay. It basically erases any incentive to user higher tier modul...

Hi. I think you should switch to multiplicative stacking for modules. Two l1 efficiency modules are too good. If you used multiplicative stacking, they would give ~50% reduction, rather than 60%. Conversely, efficiency modules mixed with other module types should be better than they are. You should...

Interesting setup. I like the counters but some areas seem more complex then necessary. With the 14 ore types it changes that designs away from how much bulk can I push through a point to more of a get what I need when I need it approach. I would see this type of unloading being better done with 6 a...

How big are you outposts you are setting up? Using just my personal inventory I can setup a 300 miner outpost with 12 lane balancer filling a 6 car train. including the loading stations and the rail line offshoot. All of this out of my inventory and include modules for the miners. (15 - 30 minutes t...

There is something strange with the download page and embeded updating. the following links are broken on the download page: Win 64 zip and Exe, WIN 32 exe Auto update from inside the program is not working. Tried on my home network and work network. Then I decided to try on my tablet over my cellul...

I like many other posters on these boards do not use mods. I only use mods for something the dev's have explicitly stated will be implemented and then still only rarely. I really hate the posts that are "hey a mod does this, go use it." So what, the point of the posts is letting the devs k...

Automatic update not working for me, I am getting error "Update failed: File D:/Games/Factorio/data/../tests/mod/mod-list.json has unexpected content". I have Win x64 0.12.4 version. Generally when something like that happens you have manually modified your base files. It's essentially te...

Please nothing else added to the game that slows trains down more. They already randomly stop in the middle of nowhere, put through lanes etc. Just give me a way to mark a section as "yard area" to the main line trains don't use those runs.

Dang, crush my dreams of a massive rocket launch sound shaking the walls of my house

When you launch multiple rockets at the same time you do not get the proper sound. I have a bay where I launch 24 rockets at a time. The rockets are all staggered since you have to click launch on each one. The later rockets are totally silent as they left off. I would expect the sound of 24 rockets...
