i wrote custom world generators for minecraft multiple times. on java, 16*16*128 blocks of data with 16 bit depth generated onfly faster then client can render them, ever with simplex with large amount of instances and octaves. i just cant agree, factorio map extremely simple and 2d only, it feature...

too dark, i will keep old one.

sadly.

i hope there will be some additional control over this in next versions

there is no much content at this time, but much grinding due lack of advanced devices.

energy generation is great sample of grindy nature of current gameplay.

I want to generate map with predefined (not random) shape - fractal based plots.

I found how to alter spawned objects, but not how to define water\ground distribution or placing object on predefined coordinates.

I missed something or this is not possible at current stage?

fallout 3 is obvilion with guns, everyone noticed that. as for engine - framework especially designed for specific task will handle that task better then engine designed for everything at once, like unity. as for upgradable walls - just adding few tiers for everything is good move that require low a...

same w7-64

there is shoud be option to disable replay tracking, savegames grow extra large over time and lag due diskIO.

i always did this type of farms without belts, only long and short inserters, chests and factories.
will post setup soonish.

is coal soo rare by design?

i started multiple worlds (on default setting) and unable to get find any coal near spawn...

and where you going to get old on old world?

i just suggest factorio to follow minecraft path in terms of piracy - online services that require legit version and wont work on pirated version.

legit users wont ever notice difference if implemented properly.

ever tiers similar to assembly plants and furnaces will be good, currently some parts of game provide no chance of progression, but others provide exceptionally long chains with new stuff every step.

now we have crysis armor (with portable fusion reactors), advanced AI robots, pollution and mostly magical upgrade dispenser but still rely on good old steam boiler as only source of energy (solars and accumulators too weak compared to boiler), game development looks "imbalanced".

crashing is fun!

if extreme amounts of IO operations needed, ramdrive + APS + backup SSD, it cost much, but provide RAM level performance and wont degrade over time.

game is very grindy and very slow, 5 minutes is not viable for current game pacing.

ghost structure decay shoud be way longer then 5 minutes, maybe single hour?

also got OCZ, after half year performance on random reads dropped below 40 mbs (from 200), planning to switch into kingstone or intel drive.

only way to get punished - recieve warning and ignore it multiple times, it's unlikely that anyone will fill copyright claim for single icon.
