Welcome to factorio! We hope you will contribute much and well. You will probably want to read the help pages. Again, welcome and have fun! Kovarex (talk) 21:07, 2 October 2013 (CEST)

Hey there! I just started playing Factorio and I really want to help make this wiki a complete and useable resource. I saw your post on the forums so I figured your might be able to answer a question. I'm fixing some dead end pages such as Armor_making_1 by redirecting them to the proper pages, however Armor_making_1 seems to be a name used internally by the game. Should those pages contain information about internal game usage aside from just redirecting them? Cakestantinople (talk) 03:34, 6 February 2014 (CET)

Well, those pages have been created automatically, they might be wrong or outdated. You can prove that by looking into the prototype files of the factorio installation directory. Currently I'm not in front my computer, so I can't check that. If you have problems to find that please PM me in the forum. Ssilk (talk) 23:24, 6 February 2014 (CET)

Work vs energy

Units says "Please don't mix work with energy!" - why not? In real life work is just the change in energy. Eg: if a thing has 300 J of gravitational potential energy, and I do 100 J of work to push it uphill, then now it has 400 J of gravitational potential energy (assuming 100% efficiency).

I added some sentence to that article and hope it makes the difference clear. Energy is not work. A gravitational potential energy is only a potential energy. You can use it only, if you move the object. Moving needs time. Time is the difference between energy and work. Etc. Ssilk (talk) 12:04, 19 February 2014 (CET)
