Is there a way to not use specific proterties of entities in mods, for example not use any animation on a car entity?

It usually isn't possible. You can hack it by providing transparent 1X1 animation with one frame. This might be solved in the (far) future by having general lua entity where the drawing logic is done in the lua.

Will you ever make a dedicated server option, I think this will be very good for the game, so 1 computer is host and everyone else connects to him, Pleseeee? Please do and allow for mod/plugin support (like minecraft bukkit plugins) I know that mods are already supported but I don't know in what way

Yes, that is planned for the next (0.12) version, so it will probably happen.

In your roadmap (list of things that you are going to implement), you mention space platform building. Does this mean the player can travel to space? Possibly visit other planets? What are your thoughts on this?

In 0.12 the game ends by building a rocket. In 0.13 it will be extended, by building the space platform (spaceship), that will be used to finish the game. Visiting other planets or asteroids is not planned yet, but it is a bonus that might happen in the future, but no promises here.

I recommend to improve the sounds, a game with these characteristis should have a better quality and more detailed sounds. Aswell i recommend to add camera options that would let you to move 4 times around your character, like simcity 4. Sorry for my english.

Yes, the current sounds are mostly placeholders. Daniel is working on the sounds and they will be much better in the future versions.

Can I buy the game on steam?

Not yet, we will apply for steam when the 0.12 is stabilised which is at least 2-3 months from now.

Can you add that a player can update to a specific version and not only to the newest without downloading the full game again?

It is not possible currently.

can the fuctionality be added to have the filter slots added to cars and tanks like it is in the cargo wagons

Good idea, I added to our idea list :)

Can I play using a gamepad instead of mouse and keyboard?

As the mouse is used to locate things to build, I can't imagine playing it with gamepad.

are there any public servers

Not yet, but we hope to create some kind of matching servers in the future.

It's Really a fantastic game!Only question, can you make a info-page of all objects? Someone it's really difficult to understand the use.

Something like ingame Factorio-cyclopedia is something I would like to see as well, it is not on our todo yet, as we have unfortunatelly lot of other things planned, but I'm adding it to our backlog :).

when is the next big update coming out?

The 0.12 (the experimental version) is planned to come in 1.5 - 2 months from now.

Why, on the website, does it say 12.5€ is the same as $17.5?

The rates changed recently, the rates are now fixed.

can you make Factorio texturepack comatible so everyone can make texturepacks?

Texturepack would be just a mod that changes the graphics used by the entities/terrain, and it can be done.

my oil wells seem to run down to 0.1/s very quickly, ten wells produced about two traincar's worth before dying. is there a setting to increase the crude production longevity?

It can be modded, but I'm considering to enhance to longetivity of oil as well.

would it be possible to change how robots that have 0 power not destroy themselfs or is there some technical thing stopping that from being a possibility

This was changed a long time ago.
From the changelog (Version 0.10.0):
Logistic and Construction robots slowdown to 20% of regular speed when out of energy (instead of dying).

Hello Factorio-Team... I am wondering why I can´t acces multiplayer with the version I downloaded yesterday... There are multiplayer Let´s Plays out there, so how can i acces multiplayer? It doesn´t show up in my client.

The multiplayer is only available in the experimental 0.11.x releases. And it is experimental for a reason, because you can encounter lot of different bugs in that version.

Hallo factorio i can not play you game there coming a little box say Error and in this box there unknown control sequenxe alternative-build Plz help me

This is the error we have in 0.10.12 when you select some specific language. You can either set your language to English in the config file, or you can download the experimental version 0.11.8 to solve the problem.

are there any public factorio servers

I guess you mean multiplayer servers. We plan to do some play matching servers, but later on. The basic version of multiplayer hasn't been even stabilised.

I don't really know where to ask this but maybe this is the right place? Me and a friend tried to play Multiplayer, and both recieved massive frame drops when connected to the same world. Any ideas/fixes?

Multiplayer is in very experimental phase, you should wait for more stable builds.

The way you have set up the modular armor suits is nice, but I am wondering if you can do the same to cars and tanks. Lets say I wanted a car with an energy shield powered by a portable fusion reactor (maybe make a big one as alternate power source to steam/solar) to scout out biter nests & stuff.

We want to do it for sure.

Can I help to translate? I foundsome mistakes already some names seem to be missing as well. I am a native German speaker and did translations from English for several projects.

Hello, we moved the translation to crowdin, so it should be much easier for everyone to make changes. https://crowdin.com/project/factorio

will you add mountains in the future and give us the possobillity to turn them on and off in the world settings?

We would have to make some big changes how the terrain logic works, so it is not in our roadmap yet, but I guess that sooner or later we will try to do the terrain overhaul.
