I would LOVE for you to add shallow water to the main game. It gives tactical options for dealing with the bugs. Perhaps it can be on the same tech as the landfill, but it's cheaper to produce. There are many times I fill in tiny ponds just to hasten my movement, and I wouldn't mind a shallow fill to make a bridge even if it slows me down a little, since the time I'd save going over a shallow bridge would likely still be better than going around an entire pond or lake.

awesome, cant wait for 0.17

Awesome, like the updates.
Hope you'll add the shallow water tiles into the main game.

I almost want shallow water tiles just for adding some aesthetics. Maybe they could be used as slow-down moats to hinder biters as well?

Shallow waters could be dirt placed in water. once for shallow water, Twice for normal dirt

@Frost

I like that idea. Please make it so!

Rocket escape pod makes much more sense for winning the game. I always thought the satellite seemed odd. Considering you have crash landed on the planet building a rocket to escape the planet is a more logical goal than building a rocket to send a useless satellite up - unless you just wanted more channels on TV.

@that guy i would consider more tv-channels a win in my book though

It's funny, I saw the title and immediately thought "NullPointerException"

Allow stone to be placed directly to create shallow water. Keep landfill as is: to fill water and shallow water. Would love to see in standard game terrain gen.

Now yesterday and today Sunday the game has started to crash (the screen locks itself) after a while on my MacPowerBook 2011. It is running on MacOS High Sierra. Please fix this soon! Currently the game is unplayable on my Mac.

got back into factorio with the 0.16 massive updates and I haven't been able to put it down since, I can honestly say I love this game and I'm really looking forward to whatever you bring to us players.Take as long as you need to make it fit your ideal for the game.

Ever been on the trail end of playing a game then realize you played only a small faction of the actual game? That's the way I feel after reading this...Ofc The best part of that feeling is knowing there's still so much more to do; but it also comes with the realization that your not quite as "done" as you thought you were - I am Reminded of my experience with (among other games) Mobile Suit New Dawn, where I what i thought was the "Final" Mission ended up being only "Just another plot twist".

It's somewhat ironic too games like Final Fantasy's and Saga Frontier I'm /very/ good at predicting the plot twists even though most folks say those have unexpected twists none of them were particularly surprising to me (as a player). It's kinda sad when people don't realize what a wealth of information is false and proven so through mild foreshadowing. Brining Times into more modern era - I am more often than not surprised by Early Access Titles than any "Finished" Triple A title.

I am all for a completely new campaign. What is currently in-game, the entire campaign, just feels like an extended tutorial. Would love to see this greatly expanded upon.
