Re: Items per second info on machines.

certainly the game can as well. I know this thread is about adding it to the base game. But in the likely case that it won't, there are mods that can display it. https://mods.factorio.com/mod/inserter-throughput https://mods.factorio.com/mod/quick-adjustable-inserters +1, I loved the first one, bot...

Re: Items per second info on machines.

Same with inserter throughput, there is simply no number to work with. That's truer than you know. Inserters don't have a consistent transfer rate. Sure, which is pretty strange in itself. Nevertheless there is nothing that prevents the game from doing a single calculation on inserter placement and...

Re: Items per second info on machines.

Definitely one of the crazier parts of the ui since the old ages, that's for sure. In the old days, where everyone was doing ic2 calculations by hand in a sheet, and there was no established factory-builder genre, sure, that seemed reasonable. Nowadays, while factorio usually trumps every other game...

Re: Friday Facts #412 - Undo/Redo improvements & Car Latency driving

Ohh, redo!!
As exciting as getting undo was back in the day.
Also, having wires in the same queue finally is a godsend.
And the preview! All I could have wished for and more. Great work, thanks a lot, looking forward to it.

Re: Friday Facts #411 - All about asteroids

Very interesting slice of insight into the graphics design process.
I enjoyed the FF.

The foreground looks a bit busy at first sight, but I won't pass any harsch judgements until I have played it.
Great work as always.

Re: It is pointless to increase the difficulty of the game

I also would like some deathworld-marathon related achievements/challenges.
I still don't have lazy bastard and the speedrunning ones, after all those years, but frankly, I don't care.

More achievements, especially specific ones, is always a fun thing to have.

Re: Friday Facts #410 - Rocket turret & Target priorities

Oooh turning off arty is going to be great! Wall construction will be so much easier. Is there a way to turn off artillery trains as well, by chance?
Is there finally nuclear artillery!?!

I like the proposal a lot, sounds like fun. Could have a gui similar to the usual wifi frequency analyzer tools. Open a topic in suggestions, perhaps someone will start off with a mod.

Very nice, I was expecting exactly that.
The diminishing returns approach is the sweet spot between SE and 1.0.

Re: Techtonica makes me depressed. Factorio could be real 3D

Highly depents on the sprites. I remember the old days, the sprites would not be nice to revisit :D. Old nintendo games also look like shit, if you remove the nostalgia goggles. Also highly depends on the 3d graphics age, imo. Games from around 2010 onwards, which are designed well, still look good...

Re: Fluid Mechanics Still Broken, 6 Years Later?

I don't get why you continue repeating what you say infinitely. It's not that people are too dumb to understand what you say.
Your argument could also be applied to splitters - why have them work by clear and logical rules, when you can simply always have a full belt and balance consumption?

Re: [1.1.107] Blueprint library cloud sync gets deleted on fresh factorio install

There is a way to recover the blueprints from a savefile, saved me once in a similar situation, can't remember how exactly, but was also some form of cloud sync issue.

Re: Techtonica makes me depressed. Factorio could be real 3D

Don't you think that while you could certainly still call it whatever you like, even factorio, that it would be a completely different game?
The expansion was always going to be an expansion, not a different game.

I am not opposed to it, mind you, just sayin

Re: Techtonica makes me depressed. Factorio could be real 3D

All 3d factory builders in the end never took off in a satisfying way. At best, DSP with the 2.5 stacking of buildings and conveyor layers. Even Gregtech is now more or less dead. I would certainly try out a 3d factorio, but I don't think it would be anywhere as fun as the current 2.5d. Techtonica l...

Re: Friday Facts #406 - Space Age Music

It sounds too epic and not similar to the original Factorio soundtrack for me. It reminds me more of star wars. The original factorio soundtrack just doesn't sound like an orchestra. It also fits better into the background. Just listen to it again. I am also a bit worried, that it is too intensive ...
