Re: Unification of prototype definition formats like ItemIngredientPrototype
Would normalizing the short forms into the fully specified forms after the execution of each data*.lua be an option? What exactly do you mean by "after the execution of each data*.lua"? Even if all prototype attributes were normalized at the end of a data stage, you couldn't trust that th...

Or, as alternative, providing utility functions for these normalizations, so mods can rely on a single known-good implementation instead of having to reinvent the wheel?

Re: This Game is surprising awesome again and again
Factoring in the productivity bonus, this ends up being 2.8 belts of wire.Edit: One thing I'll say is that 1 copper produces 2 wire, so if you fully utilize one belt of copper, you should be getting two belts of wire.

Re: "Perfect" solution for circuit network system
⚙︎ Combinators shouldn't require current and circuit_wire_max_distance should be 28 for all wireable entities. It's annoying to build extra poles just to connect rather close standing entities and it might cause failures because you don't see always very good if an wired entity is connected with a ...

Re: Picking from underground belt input screws up the belt
I do believe this must be a race between threads, once again, assuming belts and inserters run on separate threads! Factorio is fully deterministic. Any given situation will always result in the same outcome, regardless of how fast or slow the users computer is. If there were any races or unchecked...

Re: Accurate belt segment measurements
Inserters to belts behavior depends on belt orientation and it being fixed in 1.1.73 prompted me to do some extensive inserter to belt testing. While I can confirm there are no longer orientation based inconsistencies, some results still strike me as odd. Inserter drop positions (slots until the be...

Out of curiosity, how do robots take fire damage? At first glance, I'd sort fire into the non-targeted group, but bots certainly burn when flying over fire.

In addition to what Tertius wrote: When putting items on a belt, the gap needed at the insertion point doesn't need to be large enough to fit a whole item. Items already on the belt will be pushed back or held in place until there's proper spacing again. Thus, as long as the outer inserters can remo...

Re: Occasionally not detecting full fluid wagon
Try changing the condition to "> 24999". Remember the and circuit network round up. Missing a word there? Circuit network rounds down, unless it's a fluid in (0, 1], which is rounded up (to 1). Most, if not all, other displays round normally. So, even if the wagon is at 24999.999 and every...

Re: Script create_entity with fast_replace should replace belts between undergrounds
I’m not sure, if those belts can be removed in any case without breaking something. :) That doesn't matter. When manually placing the second underground belt, factorio will remove the belts in between, if they go in the same direction as the underground belt. OP is asking for the same action but tr...

The culprit for me is that the controls work from the perspective of the vehicle, not from the perspective of the player in front of the computer screen.

Re: Factorio CPU Benchmark
Factorio has benchmarking options builtin, check the output of factorio's "--help" parameter.
Also, take a look at https://factoriobox.1au.us/, which has a large collection of maps and benchmarking results.

Re: do resources in factorio go up or down. and at what productivity lvl they switch direction?
oh, my bad. Apparently I was misremembering things. Looking up the actual formula from the wiki, it gives 10% * (level - 3) while costing 2500 * (level - 3). The ratio between them is (2500 * (level - 3) ) / (10% * (level - 3)) = 2500/10%, which is constant. Therefore, given everything else in the ...

Re: do resources in factorio go up or down. and at what productivity lvl they switch direction?
No, it'll always cost resources, but the amount of resources removed from the ground is always the same. If you need to mine x iron ore for level 10, then you'll also need to mine x iron ore for level 1000.
