A thank you to the Devs! Posted: 03 Jun 2020 02:12 AM PDT Hi all and Hi Devs! I just want to give you some thanks from me, This game has (and continues) to give me a lot of joy and reward, my current base (my 7th) is 300hr+ in and still going strong! This game has a very addictive but also rewarding play cycle that is something I've missed in games of late, only Kerbal Space program and minecraft have done this for me before. I suffer from anxiety and like any mental health issue it's not something you just take a course of antibiotics for and cure. It's a long hard fight (one I'm winning thankfully) and this game and it's play style allows me to simply enter its world for a bit and enjoy doing something for me and I can see the rewards of my hard work in the game. This break from reality is sometimes what I need to recenter myself and get back on track For that Devs I wish to thank you! With all my heart and I hope this game keeps getting the love you so clearly lavish on it. If anyone else would like to share their thanks in this thread please do so! I would love to see all the kind messages to the devs. If I could suggest one mod or game addition (an expansion pack!) would be the ability to send materials on rockets home for missions/objectives for certain rewards or items you can only get from your home planet. submitted by /u/gaarmstrong318 [link] [comments]

The battery icon could use some rework too Posted: 03 Jun 2020 07:00 AM PDT I feel that after the engine icon has been changed after the revamp, the battery is the only one that doesn't feel "punk" in the dieselpunk aesthetic of factorio. Sure, this is just a minor criticism, but i decided to have a thorough look at all icons and the battery was the one one that felt like it was missing the grittiness one would expect. submitted by /u/Stephen_Lynx [link] [comments]

I'm new to this whole train mega base thing, is this a good green circuit factory? Posted: 03 Jun 2020 01:46 AM PDT ​ My green circuit factory. (Ignore some missing modules, that has been fixed.) I'm looking for any advice you guys can give me, thanks. submitted by /u/thebouncingMnM [link] [comments]

The difficulties of introducing new people to the game Posted: 03 Jun 2020 03:20 AM PDT Hi everyone, Perhaps this was already discussed but, what are your difficulties introducing new people to the game? I'd like to share my experience, which is perhaps helpful but also gather some insight. ​ The demo problem: So far, I have introduced 5 people to the game but only one actually stuck around, which is odd, since all of them had the "right" mindset to like a game like Factorio. I find that if the trailer doesnt "hook" them or the massively positive reviews sell it, there is no other way other than screensharing my own Factory or trying to blindly guide them in their own. You see, the demo is only single player, and with this game having such a high learning curve the time limit is not that big. That said, so far none have reached the time limit because they give up long before that. I have introduced the game by showing what they could do and they got really excited but then the reality of a solo game with zero things and no help smacks them right in the face like a brick: "oh, its not what I expected from the videos" and no amount of "oh, it will get better, promise me" helps. Of the people I introduced, 3 of them never even got to the "click moment" that sold Factorio to me, the moment you automate things in such a way as to realize things are now building themselves. The first few minutes of the demo show some type of gameplay that is not Factorio, going around picking things off a crashed spaceship? Thats not Factorio. That paints the game much differently of what it actually is. This leads me to having to explain that you have to ignore this experience and push through to finally find the game. ​ Now, my own experience was much different. I actually bought the game straight away instead of trying the demo. A friend told me, hey, you as a programmer by trade will love this game, promise me and I will show you. I was a bit skeptical at first as I mostly dabble in realistic FPS games or flight sims, which, while complex, are much different from Factorio, specially eye candy wise. On my experience I was instantly brought online to my friends factory and shown a problem I could probably help with. I had zero knowledge of the game, looked at it for a couple of minutes made some suggestions but clearly I didnt understand how things worked so, my friend made a quick side setup and showed me how to do a simple assembler setup. Then told me, now, you do it! I was instantly hooked. ​ What is, in your experience, the best way to intro the game to new people? I came to the realization that the demo is the worst way to intro the game to anyone, since it doesnt have multiplayer (so I cant show them) and the intro level starts off with something that is not Factorio at all (and thus I cant recommend). But at the same time, telling people to spend 25eur on a game that looks so far off from others - that can be sold with pretty images and cool explosions - on the notion that "I think they will love it" is not that nice. In my blissful ignorance, I'd think the way to solve it is allowing the demo to multiplayer for the time limit but limit it to "local multiplayer" (in the "new" local, which is not LAN play but steam peer to peer) to keep griefers out of "public multiplayer" servers. What do you think? submitted by /u/tehsilentwarrior [link] [comments]

Requester chests too late in the tech tree Posted: 03 Jun 2020 05:28 AM PDT You can have construction bots quickly after blue science, but you have to wait until you have yellow science to get requester chests. I would like to have requester chests much earlier. It especially makes fuelling trains much easier and upgrading your mall as well. For players who only play until they launched the rocket there is not much incentive to get requester chests now, because by the time you have yellow science set up you are so close to building the silo, you might as well not bother anymore. At least that is what happened to me now a couple of times. It's a shame because the requester chests are fun to have. Is there a mod that gives you requester chest earlier? submitted by /u/autoffocus [link] [comments]

Is it possible to disable a LTN Depot if train is in it? Posted: 03 Jun 2020 04:38 AM PDT ​ https://preview.redd.it/bp8jw3wkmo251.png?width=3840&format=png&auto=webp&s=ec21acaeed6539aac7e09be963dbac8242ac35e5 I try to deactivate a LTN Depot if a train is in it, because a waiting train for the same station is not rerouted to another station with the same name. (Or maybe it takes very long?) I tried different solutions. With combinators between and also externaly set to inactive. (Meaning not from it self.) The station get's inactive as expeted, but the train in the depot is not used anymore. I guess the red light means it is also inactive from a LTN point of view. ​ Maybe there is a wiring that I did not try. Or it is simple not possible. Thanks for the help. submitted by /u/innorium [link] [comments]
