Sending a car to space https://i.imgur.com/yhY6T6P.png Ha ha this is the best, however sending car to the space is still not in game. I wonder beside building and maintain factories, there hold be others exciting option like this should be in game, if we able to do this then it would be the best. h...

My low effort solution: just don't use logistic bots.

It's each players choice whether to use them or not.

Personally I use only constructions bots, a pile or two for building and clearing and some for maintaining (/repairing) defenses on my perimeter.

Late game I can imagine launching a survey satellite that would give you complete map reveal (or within a certain range on infinite maps), adding a further amount per additional satellite launch.

Mobile devices don't have the power to handle games like Factorio. There is a big difference between a mobile processor and an Atom, or a laptop or desktop CPU. It has nothing to do with the textures, either, it's the sheer processing power and memory required to manage the massive amount of objects...

Factorio modding is not like Skyrim modding, you don't spend solid days sorting out, updating, testing compatibility and so on. Most of them just work, and Factorio scans for dependencies and other problems while loading. Unlike Bethesda who just let the chips (and pretzels and whatever else you cho...

I don't even know how many hours I've played Factorio. Steam says 175, but I got it from the website back in early 2015, possibly late 2014 counting the demo version, and only added it to steam years later.

blindsided, watch the Factorio tutorial videos by Katherine of Sky (and others, but especially hers).

I see a lot of opinions about a lot of things that just don't make any sense. First this crap about launching the rocket. Most people have never launched a rocket, or if they have, they did it once and have never done it again. Second, far from "everyone" switches to [implied logistics] bo...

don't like the mods that add forest growth for another reason: this game is a technology-based game, so magical fast-growing trees simply don't belong. Some varieties of bamboo can grow at a rate of 4cm per hour (1 inch per 40 minutes). As these trees are alien, who is to say what is a normal growt...

You know there is a free demo on the website, no need for a *cough*not-legit-copy*cough* to try it out. This info is more for future potential users.

The original discussion thread is very old and nothing has been done, and that is probably a good thing. Factorio is about research and automation, not to mention using conveyor belts to shoot aliens, not character development, classes, skills and other elements that make up a role-playing game whic...

What you are asking for, by prioritizing construction before deconstruction then altering the priority when construction of an entity requires local deconstruction to happen first, is adding unnecessary load to the process. By prioritizing deconstruction over construction, the KISS (Keep It Simple S...

Well you could have an entirely new pair of entities, a special "lighting only" pole and a special lamp that only accesses a new grid based on these poles; however, the additional load of a whole new logical layer on the map might be prohibitive.

That's not a bug. That's a feature request. I think it's open to interpretation if it's a bug or not. But you can leave it in ideas and suggestions. Either something is WAI (Working As Intended) or it is not. If it is not, it is a bug (or has been since actual computer problems caused by organic bu...

Here is a thought, then, intrroduce it as a mod first and then if a lot of people use it, you know it would be worthwhile to fold it into the base game.

Hmm...that's really strange.

Though after reading the first response of that other thread it's a bit clearer.

If you have the mods installed correctly on your client, but not the server, everything that the mods add will be missing.

Here is a thread I was somewhat involved in where some examples of train loading and unloading were bandied about, you could try them. I am pretty sure they only work horizontally, not vertically, but as long as you work around that limitation they are pretty good. They are not blueprints, only imag...

If you know the format of the scenario files, you should be able to make a program that would input an image of a real (or imagined) map of anything and output a scale representation of it in the form of a Factorio scenario, to which you could then apply a little elbow grease in the map editor to ad...

Dunno 'bout others, but I program combinators with near-enough values. For example, my chem plants crack heavy oil when there is 2400 or more lubricant and 500 or more heavy oil stored, because when it comes right down to the wire that last 100 lubricant is not going to mean the difference between l...
