This isn't a bug. The water doesn't heat up going through the boiler, hot steam is released out the back of the boiler instead that you need to hook the steam engine to.

I am updating the hard crafting mod and have run into a bug. Because the mod has some smelting recipes that have more than one output this code is run: for name,furnace in pairs(data.raw["furnace"]) do if not furnacesExclude[name] then furnace.result_inventory_size = math.max(furnace.resul...

I think it would be technically less efficient, since a single belt of advanced circuits is equivalent to many belts of copper/plastic/green circuits. Likewise for other products, they usually get more space efficient as more production has been done. However that shouldn't stop you from trying this...

If you are connected to a friend (rather than a rented server), they likely only have 1 Mbps upload speed, which is the bottleneck.

In the new version, when I generate a map with all minimum resource settings, the entire world outside the starting area is covered by the light copper ore.

I have found an incompatibility between this and Hard Crafting 0.3.10. I understand these mods don't say explicitly that they are compatible with each other, but wanted to point it out anyways. For some reason when Hard crafting is attempting to add a scrap metal result to the smart train stop recip...

Mining drill - read the amount of resources remaining, read the Pumpjack resources per minute

This sounds like it will be an awesome update. Will mining drills work like pumpjacks (and handle the fact that they are over more than one resource entity) if we install something like endless resources?

The most major issue I see with that is a need to be querying potentially quite a lot of miners every tick, where YARM is already pretty damn slow. Still, it should be around an order of magnitude fewer miners than ore entities, so maybe that's not a big deal. That is what I am worried about too. T...

I am playing with the endless resources mod, and in the early game when you are limited to the starting coal patch, not knowing how much coal/min is being output by the site (and therefore the upper limit of the power your factory can run on) is somewhat problematic. If we can find all the mining dr...

I have been thinking about the problem with YARM and not being able to count production from endless resources. Would it be possible to add a hidden variable that ticks down each time a resource is produced from that site (unlike the amount, which only ticks down some times) and use that to count ou...
