I've never thought about that language stuff, but it could possibly explain, why some complex games feel better than others...

Great job of you guys!

Greetings, Ronny

I have more interest in implementing Deep Water Sites, which cannot overbuild with landfill and you have to build (much more expensive) bridges instead. On the bridges should only railtracks and electricpoles be allowed to build, no assemblers or similar stuff And belts. And probably rail signals? ...

Now that the satellite is useless, I have a few ideas for its use: Huh? Did i miss something? The satellite is still needed for white science, as far as i understand the FF257, it is just hidden in another technology now... edit: But it will be fun, if there are more types of satellite you can send...

This news sound like we can await 0.17 in the near future.

I would really appreciate that.

I hope, i understood the problem and would prefer the first solution, but with an important change: Make a hidden "only in this game existing"-library for blueprints not linked to any other library. If you do that, every blueprint in the quickbar refers to one library. If such a blueprint is removed...

Final game balancing

What does it mean? I am scared right now.

There is nothing to be scared about - if i'm remembering correct, the devs told us that they planning to finalize this game soon since 0.14.

I'm not strictly against the idea but this needs to be thought out more. What happens once the train reaches the destination? Just as it is right now: the train checks and wait for the wait conditions of his actual TrainScheduleRecord and after that it targets the next station in his TrainSchedule-...

Yeah, and you use the energy to do what? Make the planet to a better place for whom?

However, a lot of information is still missing and it is hard to keep the documentation up to date. Did you even see how the documentation used to look like? It's the most updated and complete it has ever been, partially due to me semi-automating it. Do you two talk about the same thing? I've been ...

The main problem with this is the same reason we haven't made any automated prototype documentation: There are So. Many. Different. Ways. that each bit of data can be provided for a given style and so many combinations of what it actually does that nobody has been able to make any auto-documentatio...

Nice!

That means, we only need the extension of TrainScheduleRecord and of LuaTrain.recalculate_path()

Greetings, Ronny

Give every train stop an unique ID (like you do it already with trains) and add an attribute to the Class TrainScheduleRecord: targetid. If the targetid of the next TrainScheduleRecord is set, the method LuaTrain.recalculate_path() has to prioritize the corresponding train stop with the unique id as...

Since 0.16.50 is officially stable now, are there any hints when we will get a closer look on 0.17.x in experimental tree?

Windows 7 will not get any security updates in less than two years from now (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13853/windows-lifecycle-fact-sheet), so you should have a working alternative before that date has come. 1.

whatever you do with graphics, as long as it is optimised for Windows 7, have fun. I'm still not a fan of anything released after 7. I have been playing with 10, but... it's not playing nice.

Entropy in the Factorio universe... the UPS asymptote.

Just learn to plan your nuclear power plant in a correct manner - then the pipes aren't a problem and you don't have spagetthi
