Re: Friday Facts #421 - Optimizations 2.0

Question about robot movement logic and the "faking it" approach with regards to combat / biter attacks. The technical aspect of "faking smooth movement" can have a big performance improvement, and that's always great, but will this have unintended consequences with regard to ro...

Re: [MOD 0.12.11+] Underground mining drills

Ok so it's been almost two years, and several Factorio changes, but I've finally gotten around to updating this. A lot of things have been changed, but it should be cleaner overall (part of this is due to Factorio engine changes). Mining underground resources now requires "fracking fluid,"...

Re: [MOD 0.12.11+] Stamina

The easiest way to handle this is simply to revert regeneration behavior to the old mechanics in data.lua (set ticks_to_stay_in_combat to zero). I've considered it, but I'm kinda lazy (and Stamina isn't high on the priorities right now).

(working on it, and a new set of numbers, now)

surface.get_tile_properties()

I was rather dismayed when I saw that get_tile_properties() was removed. I had been using it to gather more detailed water/temperature data on a tile (for tree growth simulation, but I can easily imagine it being used for more, including any number of faux-map-gen purposes), and to obtain a numeric ...

Ok.

edit: Nebbeh, could you remove your fix on the mod portal so I can upload my updated version under its own name?

Re: [MOD 0.12.11+] Underground mining drills

I'm super slow/procrastinatey, but I do still intend on updating this.

Until then, you can safely comment out that line. It's debug related.

Noise layer info

It would be nice to be able to get map generator info for a given location, either by passing a table of autoplace peaks, or possibly of an entity prototype.

[0.13] Power Miser

Power Miser is a scenario (unzip into the "scenarios" directory in either the Factorio game folder or applicable %appdata% / equivalent) that asks you to be economical with your electrical network. Play with any map seed or settings you like - you will start with 42 small electric poles, a...

Re: [MOD 0.12.x, 0.11.17+] Radar 2.0

I'm still around, I'm just... not spending much time with Factorio stuff these days. I want to give the numbers a rework, so whenever I get around to doing that I'll put out a current-Factorio-compatible version.

Re: [MOD 0.12.11+] Underground mining drills

Cool, thanks. I understand it's supposed to be a tradeoff, and I wouldn't expect underground mining to be nearly as good as regular mining, but output seemed to me so low to not even make it worth the bother; then again, maybe I'm just lazy :). Note that there is also a tradeoff in terms of manufac...

Re: [MOD 0.12.11+] Underground mining drills

I've been playing a little bit with the drills, but I feel that they are a bit underpowered at the moment. I think an underground coal drill would hardly break even, correct? Solid fuel is renewable already; you'd only need an underground coal drill for plastic/explosives/etc. It's *supposed* to be...

I started a new factory with this mod and rich settings (cause I was tired of building new outposts...) Is it normal that underground resources only spawn on a small part of an ore patch?

Is there a minimum health it will maintain? So I don't accidentally kill myself crafting something? Also, is it possible to add a modifier to your mining/crafting efforts based on your health? The lower your health, the less stamina you have, the slower you mine/craft as your fatigue increases? -- ...
