Thank you for working on an update. I'm going to have to move my map over to the new version for the belt performance updates.

I like that idea, but what about biter evolution?

I want to start by saying thank you for making and maintaining these mods, Factorio is great in stock and this collection just takes it to another level. Like no other game I've ever seen or played.

I have been abusing the adjustable inserters mod as of late, it really opens the game up and lets ...

I made a video of the first 48 hours of me building a base playing with all of bobs mods and angels mods.

Is there any way to automate collecting small artifacts without using belts?

So, the Oil Refinery seems to be about the only thing that does not have multiple tiers, or am I just not finding the new tiers?

No I can't. Not for every zoom. I could determine initial offset depending of the string length, but a you roll mousewheel text would stay same size and the offset would get smaller. The game doesn't have anything better for now.

Instead of the signpost you have now, what about making it look ...

Did some exploring with a car to see what the area around looks like, not finding what im looking for yet.

Got a chance to play some more. I automated red and green science, and starting setting up my main bus layout. Got turret production automated and starting circling the entire base with turrets. Moved my right wall over to the water edge to grab some more land for the production line, ran out of ...

I agree 1000% with this thread. Its a simple game concept with master level execution. You guys are awesome.

What is your plan for thinning out the bases?

I'm thinking I'll just leave alot of it, they are going to be insanely hard to take down until I get late game weapons, so I'm just going to focus on building a strong defensive line and make a couple remote outposts to send back ore, running rail ...

I played alot of dytech a couple versions back. I may give bobs mods a shot if this game does not pan out.

I'm the type of player that usually plays games on a hard difficulty. I've spent a couple hundred hours with Factorio so far and usually I get bored with the lack of challenge. So this time I'm going to amp up the biters and cut down my resources and see how far I can make it. Here are the map ...

Anyone know how to get this working in 0.12.12?
