Re: Friday Facts #399 - Trash to Treasure

One inherited problem involving non-deterministic recipes like those is that one of the outlets can become bottlenecked if consumption is not balanced. For example, solid fuel is the second most common material on average. Lightning rods absorb energy during the night into accumulators, Ice + offsh...

Incredibly exciting, can't wait to see what you have to show us! I'm sure the expansion will suck another 1000 hours out of my life, just as the original did.

This issue is still present in the latest version of Factorio. I can't use programs like OnTopReplica while playing Factorio in full screen.

Re: HDR

because the sprites are rendered as simple image file formats.[/color] What I meant by asking for HDR is not a simple toggle in the game, but a re-rendering of all the assets. If all the assets were re-rendered in HDR, and there was an option to enable them in game, would it make a visual difference?

Are there any plans for Factorio to support HDR? Would it actually make a visual difference?

Display the max distance that an underground belts and pipes can go before placement

TL;DR When an underground pipe or belt is in your hand, display the maximum distance it can reach. What ? Similar to how when you place the second underground belt or pipe, the first one placed should also show the maximum distance. I made some example images of what I mean. https://i.imgur.com/2lk...

Re: Factorio for education - Licensing and all the Rest

Very interesting. What do you plan on teaching using this game? I remember something like this was done with Sim City, to teach kids urban planning and resourcing.

Re: Friday Facts #218 - Import bpy, Export player

Seeing the colors become much more subdued from the lower alpha levels reminds me of Dunkey's Bad Graphics video. I hope you get the higher alpha colors working, makes the game more visually pleasing to have things colorfully stand out.

To be fair...

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Factorio. The game progresses at an extremely subtle pace, and without a solid grasp of theoretical algorithms most of the engineering will go over a typical gamer's head. There’s also Factorio’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into...

"Paving the ground is like Herpes"

I was playing on a server, and I had been paving a lot of the factory by hand. The server owner and other players did not complain, even when I paved swaths of the factory in front of the admin's face. Around 7 hours into the game or so, some guy is on and sees me paving it and starts freaking out t...

Re: Is it better to buy the game on Steam or direct?

Steam takes somewhere between 15% to 30% cut, so buy it direct from factorio.com. Steam is a great platform for spreading the word and increasing sales however, and I'm sure the developers are seeing a huge cash influx since it's release.
