Would you be willing to give someone else permissions to the mod pages for these mods? Yes. shanemadden has the mod page permissions. He is interested in maintaining the other two mods , I don't know if he also has plans for this one. If not, and there is someone else that wants to maintain it or d...

That's good to hear, shane, as you would have been my first choice ... I can add you as a collaborator on the mod portal if you want to continue publishing them there, or you can fork them off and start a new mod on the portal, I don't mind either way. I might have started a new entry anyway though ...

Announcement My real-life circumstances have changed (for the better) and I've got precious little time for gaming. So I think it's highly unlikely I will get around to the work I was planning around updating to 0.17 and merging my three "belt stacking" mods into one. I was hoping there would be so...

Announcement My real-life circumstances have changed (for the better) and I've got precious little time for gaming. So I think it's highly unlikely I will get around to the work I was planning around updating to 0.17 and merging these mods into one. I was hoping there would be some kind of vanilla ...

Here's my idea: when a player picks up an item (event: on_picked_up_item ?) and the option for manual unstacking is unchecked, the item gets unstacked automatically. would be nice :) That's not a bad idea actually, should be possible. However, see post below. oh and: can you add support for liquid ...

That was the issue. You couldn't just "resize your browser to be bigger" to make it stretch before. It was locked into the narrow view. You *can* just resize your browser to be narrow when it stretches to the width and it works. So the proposal was that I should have to mess about with my browser w...

hello deadlock, mods looks very very interesting for me. Also for the long discussion "bots vs belts". As I can see from reading about your mod, all crates (full and empty) are technically usual items. I want not allow bots to carry any crates. Is it possible to prevent bots carrying any crates? so...

You mean like this useless whitespace? https://i.imgur.com/DJ1uMQP.png or maybe this useless whitespace? https://i.imgur.com/ORVcdRH.png I'd also add that it wasn't an "article", it's a peer-reviewed literature review. Essentially a summary of many different pieces of work done by a large number of ...

Dated 2005 when smart phones weren't a thing and everyone was running Windows XP. Thanks but that's essentially useless research with how much monitor sizes have grown over the years. You mean like this smartphone I'm using today that's a few inches wide and more inches tall, and this very forum is...

We don't print essays in landscape out of tradition/habit. It has nothing to do with the potential of long lines of text.

If you say so. I doubt anyone's given it much thought.

Oh wait

If I were doing this I'd have an item stack, or item crate container. You'd mix the crate into a crating machine. It would consume single items (from a belt or inserted) and spit out full crates. *snip* You're essentially describing this , minus the direct handling of crated items in recipes and th...

It's been about 3 months since the last public update. Hardly an eternity. This is the way it's worked for ages - alternating periods of public experimental updates followed by a period of internal development. From what I've read, they're on a push towards the final-ish release with a lot of big ch...

Playing with Bobs + Angles the recipes for belts, inserters and loaders follow a specific pattern where each level requires the same materials (with some exception for level 0) across all entities. The levels progress from simple iron to steel up to tungsten. Plain gear wheels are fine at first but...

I prefer the fixed width. Your typical 16:9 monitor is far too wide for lines of text. That shizzle is why we don't print essays out in landscape orientation.

Jesus Christ.

I just spent two hours rocking back and forth in the corner of the shower muttering "change, change, don't like it"

Nah just kidding - it's fine. Mobile vastly improved

I want to use your compact loaders with DiegoPro's HyperLogistics mod. I realize you have put the responsibility on other mod authors, but i was wondering if there are any tutorials or anything or if i missed instructions about how to make it happen if i were going to make the modifications myself?...

Currently, "prototypes.recipes" is required in data-final-fixes.lua. It means, other MODS loses chance to find the recipes for (entity)stacking-machines for their function (ex.Crafting Combinator MOD. Then they have to include DSB as an optional dependency in their own info.json. No, I don't like i...

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/underground-pipe-pack This mod create a underground pipe that connect 2 undergrounds pipes without on-ground part (underground junction). I suggest (Whit permission and help of this mod creator) create a same system to underground belt. Belts don't work anything like p...

Your loaders, stackers and crating machines are among our group's favorite mods, big kudos all around. On the 'sometime' agenda, any thoughts on bestowing the marvelous crating machines with stylish sprites along the lines of the compact loaders and stacking machines? The assembly machine look does...
