No clue if it supports more than 2 players actually, if somebody knows, please let us know.
It does, but it's P2P. 8+ players can mean disconnects and weird things, i think. Server ack is coming somewhen along the line.

Two questions, now that I'm deep into my first real run.
How do I craft things that take water as an ingredient, like Concrete?
You'll get attacked when lifeforms come into contact with your polluted area. (Red tinted area on the map)And maybe I got super lucky with my placement, but am I supposed to be attacked by the local lifeforms at some point?
Tried that, water pipes didn't seem like they would connect up to the assembly machine. And the only thing that did seem to have a hookup was the chemical plant, which didn't seem to have concrete as a build option.Bring a water pipe into an assembly machine, i think.

I want to wait for a sale, but also I dont want to wait for a sale.

Huh, maybe I need to pollute more. Or maybe I need to change the settings from the default medium ones on my next playthrough.
Edit: Scratch that. When I played it last year concrete hadn't been added, but I just loaded up my old save and tested it out, and once you set an assembly machine to build concrete it gets an input valve. Hover your mouse over it and you'll see a blue arrow going into it, this is where you have to pipe your water in (or you can rotate it around until the arrow comes in from the most suitable direction.)
Assembly machine will sprout a in-pipe after you select a recipe with a liquid ingredient. Then you can rotate it with R.
Thanks for the help. That's pretty unintuitive, hope they fix that in future revisions.
And Factorio is up to 75k on Steam, though it's dropped a few spots to the flavors of the week. It's pretty great, hope the hype train keeps rolling.
Wow, really? SuperHOT, Factorio, Stardew, all selling almost or more than 100k copies in a few days is really impressiveThanks for the help. That's pretty unintuitive, hope they fix that in future revisions.

Consider that all previous purchasers of Factorio got a steam key, and since steamspy tracks owners, not sales, a good chunk are probably those.
100k is way more than I'd have thought they'd sold with basically zero visibility, even the GAF thread was dead.Makes sense..they cited 100k sales from their website prior to launching on steam. And steamspy has the game sitting at 75k...wonder how many of those are new buyers?
Whoa.Yesterday I learned that you can put a smelter right at the output of a mine (just like you can do with a container). Lead some coal up to the smelter and you eliminate one entire step/part of your factory!
Yeah, but then you can build production lines that build production lines for youOh man I really want to get this game but as someone who works all day in a manufacturing environment I am hesitant...work all day designing/building production lines and come home to "enjoy" some free time designing/building production lines lol

This game looks so difficult, but I really like the style and it looks really interesting to play. Maybe I'll give it a shot someday, or just appreciate it from a distance, haha.
EDIT: Nope, watched more videos, just gonna observe from a distance.

Since people were talking about sales and early adopters and whatnot, one of the more interesting points is that the game has sold more on Steam in the past week than it did for all of 2015 on their website.

Based on archive.org saved pages they had sold 63000 copies to date 2nd of Jan 2015 and 104000 on 3rd of Dec, so at least 40000 people have bought it on Steam. A well deserved number for this addictive game.
Steamspy has it at ~85k sold on Steam so far.

No way, this game would be a huge pain on touchscreen due to the micromanagement and precise instructions.
Are people playing sandbox or campaign or a mix of both?
what if i used it on my surface with a pen. then would it work? *he said knowing full well it wouldn't*

Do you have to research concrete? It's been a while but I'm pretty sure anything which requires liquids to build should be built in a chemical plant, and you just pipe it into the input valves on the left of it.

This game looks like crack for me
Unsure if I should buy it or not.
Is it lightweight in system resources ? I have been working afterhours at work with a developer machine using only an integrated Intel card, seems like a nice game for the "Compiling" times.

Shows over, building games. Its time to go home.
Seriously: I cant think where there is left to go after Factorio. It pushes the concept of resource-management to such an extreme that anything that does anything less risks seeming underwhelming, while anything which tries to go further could well be overwhelming.
Very high praise from RPS
