Re: Buggy Crafting? (modded Game)

You are missing the lvl 1 assemling machine, which needs the very first bobs mods electronics, which needs wood.

And wood has 2 recipes, which confuses Factorio. But it seems you have no wood at all anymore in your inventory.

Re: 0.16 Fluid wagon separation feature removal POLL

Note, I'm fine with the dev removing it. As I've only used it once. But my use isn't fixable by barreling. I was transporting raw oil from a distant off-site to my main base, and using 1 of the 3 tanks to transport steam back to the offsite base to power it, which worked surprisingly well.

Re: Concrete in 0.16

I personally think both the new concrete and the new stone-path look bad. Not because they look "messy" (everything in factorio looks messy) but because they don't look like backdrops. It's a floor, it should be distinct as a floor. Right now the new concrete and stone-path have a pretty l...

Or, failed terraforming/colonization attempt? Humans improved the air, brought the trees. But didn't account for the bitters?

Re: ELI5: Why does multiplayer bog down my cpu?

Even if you can run the map at 60UPS, the server is also running the map at 60UPS. The whole "catching up part" is fixing the time between you getting all the data for the map in a specific state, and the current time, for this, the game most likely has to simulate faster then the server, ...

Re: When we will get steam trading card ?

I would say never, as the devs are pretty much focused on things that are not steam only. Personally, I never understood the steam trading cards, you just get a random X of them for playing a game for X time. Unlike achievements, for which you need to "work", and require some sense of acco...

Re: [0.15] FactoriMon 0.1.0 - Capture, breed, battle aliens.

Posting this here, not because it's finished. But I could use some feedback on how to progress further with this mod. The basics of capturing/breeding/fighting/harvesting are working. But there is no end goal for this yet.

Re: Blueprints! Why didnt you tell me this before?

Blueprints, personal roboports, rail planner and double-headed trains where things that for me the game failed to explain and I didn't discover for myself how they worked. So I think the campaign or mini tutorials should expand on those areas. (The rail planner is handled now with the tutorials. Sig...

The OP said he doesn't care too much about performance so QEMU (which does emulation) may solve this issue. :roll: Fast ARM boards are still 4/5 times slower then most average machines in raw performance. Add the 10x performance overhead of emulation (if you are lucky, most likely more). And you ar...
