[Rseding91] [1.0.0] game.server_save can write to paths outside the save directory

`game.server_save` will happily accept full paths to write to, not simply filenames. It works with both absolute (e.g. /tmp/save, C:\save) and relative paths that lead outside the save directory (e.g. ../save). The save process automatically appends .zip to the final path, limiting its potential imp...

[1.0.0] game.auto_save fails to save to subdirectory

It is possible to save to a subdirectory when using the save menu (although the subdirectory must first be created externally), which is useful for organising and grouping game saves. `game.server_save` is also capable of saving to subdirectories, but `game.auto_save` fails to do so. I believe the i...

Re: game.auto_save - remove prefix

The reason it's setup that way now is to prevent any script or mod from overwriting user-created save files. The save name convention says: anything which starts with _autosave may be overwritten by an autosave. I don't want to allow mods to arbitrarily overwrite save files in the users save direct...

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

Because I love calculating costs.... For example, this part of my base only creates white science and they have 18,000 bluebelts inside. It would take about 32,000 bots with capacity 4 & 187% speed to move the same number of items ideally. It would probably be more due to having to fly around, ...

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

Preface I thought it might be interesting to collect all of the sufficiently-specific suggestions made in the thread, and aggregate them into rough groupings, with references to the posts. So I went and did that, then thought I should go a bit further; prepare for giant wall of text. Notes Suggesti...

Re: [MOD 12.11+] Train Outposts

I appreciate the request for a 0.14 version. It shows that people still like my mod. Good news is: it will come; bad news is, I don't know when. I really have little spare time at the moment, and coding after a day of work is usually not the thing you like to do. Anyway, it should not require too m...

Re: [MOD 0.12.x] Gandalf 1.0.0

Amusing, but the game does already let you manually adjust power cables -- shift-left-click on a pole to cut all existing cables, then you can use the crafted copper cable item to re-cable it however you like. That said, I guess this is nice if you're really OCD and hate crossed cables to that degre...

Re: [MOD 0.12.x] Rail Tanker - Liquid transport 1.1.3

I'm still seeing issues with 1.1.3 (with or without Squeak Through installed as well) where the pumps won't connect to a tank unless they're manually broken & re-placed. This doesn't happen at *all* my stations however, just some of them, and I can't see any obvious pattern to which ones the iss...
