Re: [0.17] Please post bugs and balance issues here.

When trying to play a game in "rail world"-mode, i always encounter the problem of a missing important resource in a very big radius. If the resource is important for early game (for example galena), the game is nearly impossible. In my current game, silicone ore is missing (there's only a...

Re: Feedback

Hey Bob, I've just started discovering your very interesting mod-pack. It really boosts the realism of Factorio :) I've 2 suggestions yet: 1) It's already possible in your mod to split Water into hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis. Did you ever had the idea to create an entity burning hydrogen...

Re: standardized energy sources for improved possibilities

Any entity that doesn't support a specific energy source type is made that way for performance reasons. Solar panels have no internal energy buffer and don't support concepts like drain or flow limits and as such they're optimized to O(1) cost no matter how many solar panels you have. You can't hav...

Re: standardized energy sources for improved possibilities

I find your post titel misleading tbh. Your aim is not really to have a standard energy source (which you know.. is already standardized) but: The ability to have solar power/liquid/burner consuming power on entities that currently don't support that. This is exactly a "standardized energy sou...

standardized energy sources for improved possibilities

Please post your opinion on the described idea! Introduction: I'm an electric engineer, my modding-focus in factorio has always been on realistic energy sources (Maybe other parts of the game would also benefit from this type of standardization) I've read tons of source code to learn from others, bu...

Re: Bigger more dynamic mods with less memory

I want to dig this out because it's still my biggest problem with factorio: Factorio seems to be an hard-coded game, only reading values from editable files - and it makes (at least for me) modding for factorio really frustrating because so much potential is wasted here and the restrictions are not ...

Re: sound: speed-/rpm-depending sound

I tried the following code with different values for min_perceived_performance and performance_to_sound_speedup - the sound didn't change at all while accelerating. My vehicle reaches only 35km/h, i thought performance_to_sound_speedup would be the multiplier for that... Could pls anyone explain me ...

Re: Auto filling a generator with a fluid

The Generator-Entity in Factorio transforms hot liquid into electricity.

Every Powerplant-Mod i've seen so far does this too, so for example the Windturbine i have seen creates hot water proportional to the wind speed.
A Generator has a fluidbox, you can simply add fluid to it in the control.lua

fuel_pollution_constant

As pollution is very important in the game, it would add many possibilities for mods to give every kind of fuel a pollution-constant (per MJ or per unit) every burner - instead of "emissions" an emission-factor for example: coal would have pollution 1.0 per MJ, solid fuel 0.8, wood 0.1 and...

sound: speed-/rpm-depending sound

I'm looking for a possibility to alter for example a vehicles working sound, based on its speed or engine's rpm. Yesterday, I noticed the car already does, but I couldn't find anything in entities.lua which controls it. BTW: Neither the wiki search nor google finds a documentation of those "sus...

Tanks: limited turret rotation?

Many tanks (first of all those with the most powerful canons) didn't have a turret but a canon through the front plate, turnable <= 45Β° to left/right.
Is it possible to simulate that in factorio?

I'm trying to create something that heats water, using solar energy - i don't like the way solar panel -> electric boiler -> storage -> steam engine, i also didn't find an electric boiler that works properly.
