Friday Facts #68 - The trains

Posted by kovarex on 2015-01-09

Albert is back from Spain and Cube is back from vacation, so the Wube is not lonely. Once Tomas gets back from India and Robert moves here, the place will feel fully populated again :)

Friday Facts #67 - Happy new year

Posted by kovarex on 2015-01-02

I have to admit that the Factorio development is slowed down these days, but it is not stopped because it just can't stop. Or is it because we can't stop? I guess that we have come too far to give up who we are.

Friday Facts #66 - Merry christmas

You would expect that we wouldn't have anything new during christmas, but you couldn't be more wrong, as the Factorio development never stops.

Friday Facts #65 - Hello from India

Posted by Tomas on 2014-12-19

Hello everyone, so this is a bit of a guest post to regular progress reports on Factorio development. As indicated before I have gone to Mysore, India for a 2-month Yoga study session. It has been three weeks since I have arrived here. I will sum up my observations and feelings in today's Friday Facts.

Friday Facts #64 - The plans

Posted by kovarex on 2014-12-12

Hello, we have a nice anniversary of the friday facts today, as we have one friday facts for every bit in the 64bit architecture address size. I believe this is the best time to show some of the 64 pixels per tile graphics experiments as well.

Friday Facts #63 - The endless struggle

Posted by kovarex on 2014-12-05

Hello, I'm turning 30 today. Few years ago, I was thinking, that I should achieve something great before I get 30. Now I work on Factorio, and I feel like this is the best position for me that could exist. I enjoy it very much and I feel that it also is the best learning experience I could hope for. I managed to not disappoint the younger me, and it makes me happy ... or maybe just less frustrated from the infinite queue of bugs waiting to be solved :)

Friday Facts #62 - The automation of Factorio

Hello, Tomas is in India already, so the place is more empty again. The more empty it is, the harder we have to work to make for it :)

Friday Facts #61 - Into India

Posted by Tomas on 2014-11-21

Hi there, we spent quite some time at the GDSession last weekend. The conference was fun, but a bit tiring. I think we are not used to meet many new people at the same time anymore. And there were tons of new people:) The talks were unsurprising but we enjoyed chatting to small indie studios sharing similar challenges we do. And they had great cakes for refreshement:)

Friday Facts #60 - Tests all around

Posted by Tomas on 2014-11-14

Hey guys, here comes the weekly dose of Factorio-world information for you. We have crafted it just before we leave for a gdsession warm-up party. Gdsession is quite a big game development conference here in Prague. This is the first year we are going to participate. And actually tonight we will have a short (10 minut) talk about what we do (well, about Factorio obviously).

Friday Facts #59 - The new office

Posted by Tomas on 2014-11-07

Hi folks, a big portion of the past week has been spent with the non-development stuff, mainly related to us moving to a new place. Apart from that we have been putting our breath together to deal with the biggest ever list of bugs so far.
