Re: Friday Facts #360 - 1.0 is here!

FFF (the blog) can be followed with RSS, will you update it in case you have something special to say, on top of the email notice?

Re: Friday Facts #288 - New remnants, More bugs

Make remnants a real object, with collision box. That certainly makes an impact on gameplay, how big I don't know. Making it difficult to move through ruins makes sense. Making it slow for biters to move through freshly destroyed walls again makes sense. Being able to scavenge materials from destroy...

Re: Friday Facts #97 - Greenlight preparations

The promo trailer, released about a year ago I think, was great, that's when I discovered and started to play Factorio. Looking at it again now, I got curious about the music, that's so clearly Danny Elfman (the guy who made most of Tim Burton movies soundtracks) Well, no, that's not him, so now I'm...

0.12 - Stone and concrete path 'mine a path'

The stone and concrete tooltips say that 'it can also be used to mine any kind of path'.
What does that mean?

Re: Friday Facts #81 Chain signals

I was thinking, there's a lot of mentions to TTD whenever train pathing and signals are the topic, have you guys looked into how Simutrans manages the train pathing? I wouldn't know if there are significant differences between Simutrans and TTD in the implementation of train logic, but since the sim...

They're useful to prevent a train entering a critical section if it's not sure it can leave it.
Without it, you can't have a two-track station that runs smoothly.

So, yay, pre-signals!

Re: Friday Facts #66 - Merry christmas

Well, 11.7 is the first time that the replay is working, at least for me, so I don't want to update until I finished the game I started with it :/

The new features for signal processing sound exciting !

Merry Christmas :D

Re: Factorio ripoff

Some consider Minecraft is a copy of Infiniminer (or at least that it started this way) Zach, the guy who made Infiniminer (and also Spacechem, which is wonderful, and Kohctpyktop , which I recommend to puzzle lovers who are not afraid of adversity) said about that: The act of borrowing ideas is int...

Re: Building useful Rail Networks

Doubleheaded trains vs small loops to turn around : both seem to work fairly well, it's mainly about the resource cost of the extra locomotive vs the resource and space cost of the loops? Or does the path-finding AI handle one option better than the other? No. In my eyes a double headed train is no...

Re: Factorio Roadmap for 0.11 + 0.12

Do you plan the following updates at some point in the future? - UI look (essentially make the gray windows nicer, but there are also a number of small features which could improve the experience) - Graphs look (without vertical axis / scale, they are nice to look at, but miss a lot of usefulness; f...

Re: 0.10.7

Well, if you go to the path indicated ([user]\appdata\roaming\factorio\temp\currently-saving.zip), copy this file to the main save location and rename it, you get a working save. Be careful if you try to save over a save too, as the original file will disappear. Ooh, and please don't wait a week to ...

Who said that they never ever see what anyone else did? After the own round is recorded they all watch what happened till the last episode before them. And then there is lack of knowledge again for the next 4 episodes. The oath that _aD proposes would make sense as a new rule though. Until the end ...

Re: Good Map For Speed Trial

It doesn't seem to be an issue with the map generation itself.
Starting with the same save, generating new chunks on Windows and Linux yields the same results.
