how does this differ from a SR latch circuit? An SR latch does something completely different. Hysteresis, as used here, means that a certain range of values are "accepted" by the circuit and everything else is "rejected". This device accepts a single continuous stream of values...

Man, that new desert looks great. On the first stream Arumba mentions that the multiplayer was originally retrofitted to a codebase designed only to be single-player. That's super-impressive; congrats on making it work so well. Finally, after months spent maximizing my alone time, I am once again in...

Hm. I'd appreciate it if this topic could move to suggested improvements rather than not-a-bug; fwiw it was intended as such despite the word "bug" in the title. Also: it occurs to me that there is a more radical but probably more elegant way to achieve the same thing as the smoke-and-mirr...

There is no reason I shouldn't be able to align the placement of this blueprint to seven tiles and make the train loading bay. Since train tracks are 2x2 tiles, they also align in a 2x2 grid otherwise you could not close the 1x2 gap between the tracks. This might inconvenience you, but it certainly...

What's wrong with a good old rm mods && ln -s 0.14_mods/ mods Bind mounts seems like overkill for this task. (If anything you should just use a COW filesystem and reflinks :) ) I dunno if I agree with you about this. I use a lot of bind mounts: greg@moneypit ~ $ grep -c bind /etc/fstab 37 A...

blueprint_alignment_issue.gif There is no reason I shouldn't be able to align the placement of this blueprint to seven tiles and make the train loading bay. This inability breaks the UX magic of 0.13 train tracks and forces me to think in terms of the 0.12 train-track-design UX -- all of a sudden, ...

In the mod portal, it would be fantastic if an end-user-facing field were provided for mod authors to publish their changelogs. We had this in the old forum-based mod publishing convention but effectively lost it when we moved to the mod portal. Ideally, when a mod has turned yellow in the gui, indi...

Forum, forgive me, for I have sinned. In response to a few little problems on my bus I created the following design:
I am pretty sure this was not the best solution but I'm keeping it

I think this is one of those ideas that should work alongside the in game configuration options for mods (rather than having to manually edit the config.lua files that some mods include) so the entire mod profile would be kept together. It would also allow different profiles to not only have differ...

It is really a pain right now to switch between campaigns if they use wildly different mods. Instead, it's almost easier to just create side-by-side installations of the entire game. As a result, I've decided to start working on some scripts to maintain farms of bind-mounts on my linux system that e...

Pretty sweet idea, thanks for sharing!

When manually disappearing a small forest, I tend to be right at my tolerance-limit for annoyances; one thing that absolutely puts me over it is when, while holding down the right mouse button so I can mine a tree, I accidentally momentarily hover over a tree I don't want to mine, my character takes...

Obviously, they also get updated base on their built "order." This does not change anything that I said regarding how entities are updated when it has a fluidbox. If an entity has a fluidbox, then its fluidbox will always be updated north and west then south and east. That's the flow prio...

There must be some way to exploit this for fun and profit. I can't think of any, yet, but I am now convinced this is important :) Kind of like, when you do your experiment and light from a moving object appears to be going at the same speed as light from a stationary object -- we must be missing som...

This is expected if not well-known. Entities in a chunk are updated north and west then south and east. Thus fluid flowing south to north or east to west will be slower and such pipe will have less throughput. Nope, fluid flowing depends only on build order, north/west/east/south direction is not i...

90% certain that this isn't a bug - the problem is that some of the curves aren't actually continuous. See the picture below: http://i.imgur.com/WqrkFiP.jpg Two similar curved rails, taken from such a circle (this would be the lower-right right angle turning). While they seem to connect at first gl...

I believe that emulating phase-modulated signals using the superposition principle on individual signals that work on a clock instead would still be easier to implement and easier to handle than trying to implement low/high-power situations on purpose to artificially slow down a combinator. You can...

If you use straight yellow belts then the burner inserters can't possibly run out of fuel. Use burner inserters. They are right and you are wrong, I'm afraid. I only accepted this as a non-bug, myself, a week or two ago, after discussing it with some smart folks here at the forums. Simply stated, i...

How about burner combinators that require a coal signal?
