I think it could go two ways. either it will follow the trend of increasing numbers, or this will be the first to cut down the time dramatically. So either 0.13.40-ish, or something like 0.13.25. I'll go with the second because optimism, and what better Christmas present than 0.14's SPACE PLATFORMS!

EDIT: Still reading? Well, for context I was trying to at least find out if the update wasn't coming out because when it does I need to drop everything and make videos on it because doing so is essentially my part-time job. I was in the process of dropping everything because there was a decent indic...

EDIT: Also dumb. Tried to say things, failed at words. Sounded like a d**k.

EDIT: Said a dumb thing. Removed thing because it was dumb.

Today's FFF is late... I have plans that I was going to cancel if 0.13 came out, but those plans are in 15 minutes and I still don't know!

This was a more minor point of the FFF, but I don't like the idea of increasing cargo wagon capacities. One of the coolest things I've built in my Railworld series is the Megatrain, a 10+ wagon train with at least 2 lead engines and one rear engine, which essentially acts as a portable fortress-buil...

A quick count of what saves I have in my current version of Factorio puts me at at least 220 hours, so if they needed proof, they have it now!

IT'S HERE.

Now to make the overview video.

Gentlemen, time me.

I AM READY.

T-shirts? Count me in!
Not sure about the loading bar one myself, my ideal shirt would be just the cog, and factorio either under it or on the back. Some might prefer "Factorian".

So at my rate of 2 videos a week it took me quite a while, but I finally finished my no crafting playthrough by building rocket defence yesterday. It took 23 hours across 69 episodes and you can watch it Here.

And here's the save should you want to mess about with it:

Probably, but I'm pretty sure it's a standard biter activity, because you can see them darting about on any map with any settings. I guess it's so that biters don't get stuck on trees or something, but it doesn't fit in so well in peaceful mode.

Idle biters will occasionally dart across the map, and will destroy anything that blocks their path, be it trees, buildings, or the player. This makes sense normally but if you try and build a factory in a biter-infested area in peaceful mode it quickly becomes an issue. You can see this in this epi...

But that sounds awesome! I want to secretly tap into enemy pipelines, that adds all sorts of cool tactics!

I've seen this problem too. Just make a map with max biter settings, no starting area and peaceful and you'll meet death by biters in minutes.

The thing with putting a game on steam is that when you do, you'll get a big boost in interest, sales, and so on, and the same thing happens when you release the full game. I believe the devs plan to do both things at the same time, which will maximise the effect of both, along with a bunch of other...

Until we get options when we create a multiplayer game is seems like the current settings they've gone for are the best to me. You can only shoot each other if you use C and science is communal. Works well for the MP game I'm playing.
Also works well for any potential youtube collabs...

My video covering the update is up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YrArO8 ... e=youtu.be

Awesome! I think I'll do a video on that! As well as use it in all my future bases.

Hello again Daniel, long time no see! I see you've got past it now but if you want to avoid boxing yourself in try the parallel processing (AKA tree) design for your production. The initial work is more fiddly but once it's running it works brilliantly! * Link * Now that multiplayer is on it's way a...
