Priority fixes

  1. [composition] Introduce a subtle darkened or blurred background band directly behind the FACTORIO title to isolate it from the busy machinery texture and improve legibility at small sizes.
  2. [contrast_color] Darken the midground factory elements slightly to create stronger value separation between the lower scene and the title, improving grayscale readability and silhouette clarity.
  3. [composition] Establish one visually dominant element in the factory scene — such as a highlighted assembler chain or a prominent train — to create a secondary focal point that guides the eye at small capsule sizes.
  4. [title_readability] Increase the font weight or add a thin dark outline or drop shadow to the FACTORIO logotype to ensure letters remain distinct at the 120x45 tiny thumbnail size.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [tone_match] Move or remove the 'Discount Disclaimer' from the body copy; consider placing it in a separate note or footer to preserve the narrative flow and game-focused voice.
  2. [feature_communication] Add a brief sentence clarifying the role and intensity of combat/defense—e.g., 'Defend your factory from increasingly aggressive alien creatures, or turn combat off for peaceful factory building.'
  3. [audience_targeting] Include a mention of difficulty settings or accessibility features to signal that the game is welcoming to players of all experience levels, not just optimization veterans.
