Re: Friday Facts #309 - Controversial opinions

Here's my take on things: Inserters should not chase items Please do this for any and all performance updates possible. The inserters would be maybe the first of things I would touch on for performance. The second would be precalculating the power network in such a way to allow the game to calculate...

Add render_player and render_to_forces to other entities

I'm looking to implement line of sight for a combat related mod, and I would like to have render_player and render_to_forces added to LuaPlayer, LuaCar, and LuaUnit in order to do so.

Bonus points for adding alpha level (per force) to implement cloaking equipment.

can't find mod via in-game search

My portable install of Factorio downloads updated copies of my mod from the mod portal just fine. However, a new steam install won't even find it in the mod-search. Has anyone else encountered this before?

Re: Friday Facts #225 - Bots versus belts (part 2)

I think Stack inserters should lay the entire stack as one item on the belt. It worked well when I tried it out as a test in 0.12.x

I'd also like to see n-lane splitters of up to 5 belts. I made a mod that does this but would like to see an in-game version instead.

Re: Friday Facts #224 - Bots versus belts

My suggestions for the changes with bot/belt mechanics. Merging logistic and construction bots into just Flying Robots. Thats a great change. Removing Active provider, Buffer and Requester chests and having just Passive provider and Storage chests. Flying Robots will do everything construction bots ...

Re: [kovarex] [0.16.7] Multiple splitters can uncompress belts

Full reproduction steps using the saves below: The save was made in .15 to test existing belt behavior on the bug. As expected, the belt will work as expected. (even under long times at game.speed = 100). Edit: when imported to .16, the belts display the same behavior as .15 - when the input flow is...

[0.16.9] Gui window cut off in narrow screens

Found this minor issue when using the window in split screen. some gui windows get cut off by the edge of the game window and trying to drag them into view reveals that the off-screen part of the gui doesn't render even when brought into view.
