... or should.


It feels like for you the "difficulty" threshold starts when you upcycle on multiple planet, i think we're onto something more concrete there, there is hardly any reason to call the engine dishonest at this point, when you face the complexity it's easy to call it bad names because ...

2.1 breaks some factories.


It breaks small parts of some factories. Specifically, hazard concrete recycling, asteroid cycler platforms, and certain cases of assembler recipe controls. These are non-trivial changes, which is why they waited until a point release.

But the level of changes we're ...

... science can be viewed as a useful byproduct to getting those other things, to recoup some of the high material costs.

There are few, if any, concrete steps, and it overgeneralizes and offers very few actionable tips for either Fulgora or Gleba.

... a more detailed proposal or prototype, I mainly wanted to ask:

Is exposing a small, purpose-built Steam Input interface to mods something Wube would be willing to consider for 2.1 or later?

If so, I would be happy to investigate the smallest useful API surface and provide a more concrete proposal.

... given your prior authoritative assessment (and subsequent open admission of not looking into the source code).

Would you kindly provide concrete examples of what you're referring to, and how I might structure it "appropriately"?

Really just want to improve my code/mods, so if there's a ...

... speed boost. Can connect on multiple sides.

Road
Raised vehicle transport, costlier and needs more support. Components made from steel and concrete (thought about oil for a tarmac like approach, but that would inevitably lead to demands for non-raised roads too and didn't want to increase ...

- Turquoise Dark Lichen

I'd expect it to use the normal sprites for doughnut shapes, like what happens with Landfill or Concrete as an example.

In my limited testing, this is consistent across different save files, and always happens with the listed tiles.

... someone would 100% point out that burners without oxygen are unacceptable? In a game where we fly on 2D platforms, fire machine guns from behind concrete walls at asteroids, carry dozens of nuclear reactors in our pants, and break every law of physics imaginable. Working burners are not even close ...

... for the quality of the requested items (if requesting more than 2 items).

In my specific case my rare requester chest is requesting uncommon concrete, uncommon steel and uncommon processing units.
When looking at the chest it looks as if it is a "normal quality" requester chest requesting ...

I've fixed these manually for the next release.

Thanks for the report, fixed for 2.1.17

I think it would be great to add a research item where you can clean your concrete late game. I realize there is a mod for it, but it seems like a clean factory should be something you can eventually get natively in the game.

... When force building a blueprint with no tiles in it on Aquilo's ocean, it will automatically place ice platforms under all entities, and concrete under all entities that require it. But if an entity both requires concrete and is overlapping a tile that a curved or half diagonal rail is on ...

... application at hand is making furnaces, not roads. And maybe military/production science.


This is true for stone and stone bricks, but refined concrete is just a tile, it's not an ingredient to any building, hence why I drew an analogy between refined concrete and asphalt.

Refined concrete is ...

Concrete specifically needs calcium containing stones.


I wonder if asphalt concrete could be a good stand-in for some applications in Factorio where concrete is usually used. The recipe could be approximated (very roughly) using petroleum processing of some kind. I imagine asphalt concrete is ...

... values but this seems still a bit high unless i experienced a bug.

Does anyone else have a similar experience to that or is that intended behaviour so I have to fully defend my ships from all sides?

And big thanks for the recycling change so concrete isn't an absolute hell to deal with on fulgora :)

Concrete specifically needs calcium containing stones.

But calcite isn't exactly calcium containing stones, it also appears to be a stand in for simple but energetic compounds and calcium (which purifies things). And calcium is part of the really light elements on the periodic table which want to be ...

... stone" referring specifically to industrially useful kinds of rock, rather than all kinds.


Okay, but a lot of what you use it for is making concrete, building landfill, and general foundations. How specialized of rock do you need for that?

I don't really know much about stoneworking, but ...
