Re: playing multiplayer on same account
... If OP wants to pirate the game that is up to him, no one really cares, neither me nor Wube I think. But it is against the terms so it's a bit weird to publically instruct on how to pirate the game on the official forums. The DRM-less game client and the extra keys (for the singular license) and...

Re: make more entity prototypes support rotation
I'm just sometimes amazed at some of the problems when they are well known programming issues with established solutions. It triggers the "I've learned about how not do this and that sounds exactly how this was done" syndrom. Well, do you think Rseding91 doesn't know or considered and rej...

Re: Let construction robots place items that were just deconstructed nearby
I was thinking something like "flag marked for deconstruction items as stored within the logistic network, as if they were in a virtual container with just the item". Like that, a bot assigned a construction job could be sent to that particular "marked for deconstruction" item i...

Re: Let construction robots place items that were just deconstructed nearby
If when placing a blueprint, instead of just provider and buffer chests being queried for available items, bots in the air on their way to dump their inventory were also queried within a smaller distance than the found item. And with some max radius to speed up the bot search as well. And bots that ...

Re: Friday Facts #403 - Train stops 2.0
sure - but its not always possible Doesn't matter, do it anyways. If it isn't possible, make it possible. Just manually turn off stops if you need to temporarily divert all your resources to some specific goal if you can't supply all at once and the wrong stop end up soaking up all the resources. W...

Re: High-Throughput Exact-Items Train Loader (w/o Bots)
I agree with Tertius, and would like to add some: Why? Is this supposed to be a solution to a problem? Because what kind of train has only a single wagon (and no room to expand solution) and high throughput requirements and also carries multiple items in arbitrary configurations? I can't find a use ...

Re: Automate Biter clearing - Robot army
Artillery requires expanding your rail network It really doesn't. You can build static artillery and feed them by any logistic method. There's also mods that lets you put combat robots in your artillery shells. Combo that with an early artillery mod and an artillery reskin and you should have what ...

Re: Friday Facts #405 - Whole belt reader, New logistics GUI
Do we have timers in the logic system? In case you need to dispense some material in portions. I also remember a long time ago I tried to implement a portioned release of energy from batteries via an on/off toggle switch. Without a timer it didn't work out that way. Just make one, wiki has tutorial...

Re: add new signal RGB (Friday Facts #388)
Let's get full color signals first :) Why are you suggesting CMYK, a space for printers, as a format for lamps? And prioritized above light based color models like RGB!?!? For LAMPS sending out light. And this is the second time now in the same thread. It makes no sense, I vote against it being an ...

Re: Friday Facts #404 - Frustration not found
I also think that RTS tool is a bizarre name (regardless of how many units the tool can instruct, tanks, etc...). One is not using the tool to play (or otherwise 'tool' upon) a Real Time Strategy game (RTS) so how is it an RTS tool? The tool is used to implement a Strategy, in Real Time. So it's a ...

Lastly... can we not rename the logistic networks? I thought I recalled that you were going to offer that, but on seeing some of the latest posts from others here, it sounds like that *didn't* get added? Seeing a long list of "LOGISTICS NETWORK #X" is boring. Seeing "Smelter Array Tr...
