Re: ?automatic rail-placing? aka A* algorithm

mind if I ask you why you stopped your idea of automatic rail placement ?
from what I saw in your code, you put some work into it !

would you mind me using your idea to try to make a whole mod (I've got some ideas of how to do it !)?

Re: Reload mod(s)

what about reloading one single mod ?

reloading mods is usefull to test WIP mods, but as far as I know, when a modification is made, it is not on all mods

Re: [MOD 0.11.x] Mohole 0.0.3 - Updated graphics

Hi, your mod is quite awesome, but has one bug I'm clearly using : you can create lava in any crystaliser ! now, I know, I'm not supposed to do that but seriously, 1000 polution ? in the beginning of the item, ok, digging into the ground is not ecofriendly but ... after the hole is dug, the polution...

Re: [0.11.6]Filtered Splitters - Huge stability boost!

Hi ! thanks for this mod, I've maily been using it to feed my loading train stops, but I can see a whole lot of uses for it ! I have two things to say though : your filtering spliters are not able to handle construction bots, it seems they do not set an id to the filtering splitter => they don't wor...

Re: Expanding The Function Of Lights

Light could also be used to modify how the turrets work, for instane, turrets could only fire at an enemy if he is in the light this could also lead to improving the turrets with modules -> infrared detectors that would need to be added to the turret understaning that, the creepers would most likely...

Re: Friday Facts #15

if you wish, you can even use "plateforms" such as indiegamestand.com, or www.humblebundle.com, or others of that kind. of course,with day to day offers, you would not necessarily gain 10$ per games, but the two above have a store where the price is fixed, and would give you great visibili...

Re: Factorio Items Map/Tree

In Friday Facts #6 (https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-6) developers already make such graph which shows item relation for all available items at that time. So go and check that out if you haven't already. well, I remembered seeing a graph, but I remembered it was the tree of technologies ... a...

Factorio Items Map/Tree

I discovered a amazing tool today : yEd : it allows to make cool graphs so I get the following idea : Create a map of all items int factorio, and link each of them to the items needed to create it, and to the item it is used to create. I spend some time doing it manually, (I know, I could have used ...

Re: Do we need faster belts?

I actually found transport belt cheated ! they allow to move stuff from one place to another energy-less ! I think the express belt should be removed, and for the other belts, they should have to be powered by belt station, which needs power to work and only support a number of items on a section (a...

Re: Random Ramblings #13 Automated testing & new year overvi

I think you codded the character into the game in a way that does not allow you to implement multiplayer easily I think, by not thinking from the start : "what if we want to allow several players on the same map" see my point ? In the initial version the character was implemented in such ...

Re: [Polls Closed] The signals

I just got another idea reading all said before : what if, there were comparators, sending binary signal from a network -> it would work just as it does with smart inserters, but could be linked directly to the smart inserter that way, the test would be set only one time. we could then imagine binar...

Re: Random Ramblings #13 Automated testing & new year overvi

Actually code refactoring is fun and rewarding because it simplifies things and that gives one good feeling. We do it continuously, though maybe we could spend more time doing that, that is true. You know you are actually one of verry few programmers of the ones I know who says that? :D Most of the...

Re: [Polls Closed] The signals

I did not read all said before (because I do not have many time, and don't understand english easily enough) but I think wiring would be very, very interesting if there were the following features : -> the ability to send the signal of a non used inserter, giving the ability to know, for instance, i...

Re: 12 furnaces + beacon
