Wouldn't it be great if the rain actually did something, rather than just looked nice. Like filling up lakes so you have to contend with flooding (unless you pump it out), or water collectors which only fill when it's raining. Or even hazards like acid rain which damage things if you don't protect ...

Does your lead artist have trypo-fetish? As someone who is suffering from trypophobia — base game nests are already somewhat uncomfortable to look at, but it's manageable. Even some item icons in the past were triggering it. I'm thankful that they were updated. But looking at this planet outright m...

As of now there are no plans to port to any other consoles.

This must mean the Switch port didn't do so well. Sadness.

So I love Chocolate Ice Cream. I think it's the best ice cream ever. But sometimes I think "I've been having chocolate ice cream nearly my entire life, I should try other flavors". So I do, but they aren't as good. The novelty of having something other than chocolate is overshadowed by it ...

If you've read the blogs, the expansion adds significant depth to the gameplay. Not sure how you can say the new planets seem like they would get uninteresting, since the starter planet is just flat land with some obstacles that all can be worked around early game (trees mowed down, water filled in,...

Mods break it.

Just like achievements, mods could disable it. Or mods could have their own seperate category

TL;DR A universe map or global stat system that shows the combined player metrics for everyone playing Factorio. What ? This is directly inspired by Dyson Sphere Program's Cosmo system, where you can see all the players current power generation. https://forums.factorio.com/download/file.php?mode=vi...

One inherited problem involving non-deterministic recipes like those is that one of the outlets can become bottlenecked if consumption is not balanced. For example, solid fuel is the second most common material on average. Lightning rods absorb energy during the night into accumulators, Ice + offsh...

This if flipping in action and it looks amazing.

What?

Incredibly exciting, can't wait to see what you have to show us! I'm sure the expansion will suck another 1000 hours out of my life, just as the original did.

This doesn't work. I ran the command, it said achievements were disabled, but my name still appears as is on the map. https://i.imgur.com/shbl4oX.png https://i.imgur.com/AoYIYLr.png Note: This is the first result on google for hide player names factorio which is why I am bumping it. If someone could...

This issue is still present in the latest version of Factorio. I can't use programs like OnTopReplica while playing Factorio in full screen.

because the sprites are rendered as simple image file formats.[/color] What I meant by asking for HDR is not a simple toggle in the game, but a re-rendering of all the assets. If all the assets were re-rendered in HDR, and there was an option to enable them in game, would it make a visual difference?

Are there any plans for Factorio to support HDR? Would it actually make a visual difference?

This roadmap is quite out of date. Are there any other roadmaps out there that are more up to date?

TL;DR When an underground pipe or belt is in your hand, display the maximum distance it can reach. What ? Similar to how when you place the second underground belt or pipe, the first one placed should also show the maximum distance. I made some example images of what I mean. https://i.imgur.com/2lk...

Please don't release 0.17 before the 22nd of December. This is my last semester of school so I want to do it right.

I love how the dad was loving it, only to notice his kid crying.

Very interesting. What do you plan on teaching using this game? I remember something like this was done with Sim City, to teach kids urban planning and resourcing.

Seeing the colors become much more subdued from the lower alpha levels reminds me of Dunkey's Bad Graphics video. I hope you get the higher alpha colors working, makes the game more visually pleasing to have things colorfully stand out.
