Only 20? :P Try the exoskeleton equipment in your power armor (you can place more than one to go even faster). You'll be fast enough to avoid getting hit by anything but the worms. Add in a couple fusion reactors and then pack the rest of the space with Energy Shield MK2s. Try the combat shotgun wit...

Made me think of: We get "I love your game" message. http://replygif.net/i/726.gif Hehehe.. Seriously though, I've been on many dozens of game forums over there years and I can honestly say I've never seen so many "Thank you for making this game, it's awesome!" messages (that was...

Haha! I knew your name looked familiar! We participated in the same threads here and there on the Buildcraft forum: http://www.mod-buildcraft.com/forums/topic/pipes-leading-into-full-containers/ I remember reading your post on self-replicating factories and trying stuff out on my server (mostly unsu...

we have the old fashioned zip package option. And I for one would like to commend you for keeping it an option. Same here, it's much appreciated! I still don't understand why anyone would prefer an installer when creating a folder and unpacking a zip gives you more control and takes far less time! ...

Hahaha.. I still do this every couple weeks.. and I bought months ago.
"You're playing that factory game again?" she says...
"Yeah, they released a new version! "

Hydrogen would actually be a poor fuel; unlike most fossil fuels it doesn't keep well in storage (some hydrogen always ends up escaping, while most fossil fuels just stay put) and it has a per volume lower energy density than pretty much every fossil fuel. Stockpiling coal or oil products would be ...

Either! Fuel cells could be the high-efficiency solution for late game and you could just burn the hydrogen in the steam boilers we already have for a low-tech (lower efficiency?) power source. The only physical difference from a coal-burning boiler and a gas-burning one would be a burner element (a...

Yeah, there are several ways to do it. The cryogenic method is used for big industrial production; it just pulls the oxygen from the atmosphere, discarding the nitrogen and other gasses. It's only about 93% pure though. They do use electrolyzers for some hydrogen filling stations for cars (tied into...

That would be awesome to have a line of Bessemer Converters (or the newer but similar Linz-Donawitz Converters) belching huge plumes of flame while producing steel. Glorious big industry. :twisted: The original Bessemer version just pumped air up through the molten pig iron while the newer LD conver...

Well 8 is my personal lucky number, so I hope this will finally break our "bug losing streak" and we will make the 0.8.8 stable:) Nahhh! It's not a "bug losing streak". It's just the side-effect of an aggressive feature-adding streak! :D Hang in there. Only crappy boring games/a...

Lol. This would drive my OCD nuts! There would always be that one resource patch in the way of my base plans that I'd just have to mine before continuing.

I almost think they failed at the console port then didn't have enough time to convert it to PC. Yeah, it's nuts! There are X-Box shader references all over the place in the game files! The controller-oriented menu system is another clue. From what I've read, It looks like EgoSoft was going to try ...

Tech trees can be a little intimidating for some folks (my wife hates them). (yes, I married a gamer chick. It's awesome) :P "Either too few choices or overwhelmingly complex" she says. Some nice tech groups, along with the already implemented system of unavailable techs shown in red (with...

Similarly you can also tell through videos whether a game is worth getting at all, provided you aren't going strictly off the developer/publishers own videos. Those tend to be cut/edited/manipulated in the best possible way to show off a game in the best light imaginable, often times misrepresentin...

If someone buys the game, well awesome. Don't really care whether he bought it straight away or tested it on the torrent first I pirated it before I bought it. After an hour of playing and seeing the depth and quality, I went to factorio.com and bought it straight away. Nothing says "Thanks fo...

It's very good to know your preferences about texturing and colours, really. But the discussion here is mainly about the general shape. Woah, didn't mean to offend! You do bad-ass work Glex, that's obvious! We're just tossing opinions out there like we were asked to! :) Regarding the general shape;...

I liked logo #1s shape and font a lot but I voted for the old logo on the basis of the color. There's something just flat appealing about that nice dirty-but-shiny brass/bronze color. Search "brass gear" on google images and look at some of the stuff there. It's beautiful. The brass gear s...

Hahaha! I know what you did there. You whacked it to 'death' with your pickaxe right? I was out running through biter bases with my shotgun and a few zillion combat robots and just flat ran out of steam once. No bullets left, all my combat robots used up, with ONE worm left. I had some nice MK2 powe...

Yeah, I might be a little prejudiced against Flash SSDs. I jumped into SSDs in the early 2000s for a server I was running and was really burned by the short lifespans (especially at the price I paid). Hopefully you guys are right and the drive lasts! Maybe the tech is finally coming around! :) I did...

Ouch.. You went with a TLC (Three Layer Cell) design SSD? That has an even lower lifespan than the flaky MLC drive you just had fail on you. :( TLC- Three Layer Cell Higher density Lower endurance limit than MLC and SLC TLC has slower read and write speeds than conventional MLC 5,000 program/erase c...
