Re: [MOD 0.17+] Industrial Revolution (0.99.x)

I don't have a screenshot for it at the moment but when you have a grid of e.g. furnaces you can have the ore/ingots flow in alternating rows and the coal in columns (90Β° to the input/output bets). I mostly use it for mines, but it will work well for smelters too. https://i.imgur.com/sSG9BRz.jpg ht...

Re: [MOD 0.17+] Industrial Revolution (0.99.x)

For some reason, inserters forget to feed fuel to furnaces smelting stone, other furnaces are unaffected. https://i.imgur.com/jEExlSk.png Since there are long burner inserters you can power them from the input belt if you put input and output belts on the same side. Sounds interesting but I don't qu...

Re: [MOD 0.17+] Industrial Revolution (0.99.x)

I don't think I'd go through the effort of automating the lower tier intermediates. For example, large/small copper/bronze chassis. It'd be "good enough" to automate the basic components (rivets, rods, beams, plates), and hand-craft the last few steps. Same with copper and bronze pistons,...

Re: [MOD 0.17+] Industrial Revolution (0.99.x)

Shortcuts for blueprints and personal roboports are not unlocked with bronze bots. It is slightly annoying having to crash your monowheel to check if roboport is enabled.

Re: [MOD 0.17+] Industrial Revolution (0.99.x)

Why do trains need a combustion engine? I would have thought there would be steam locomotive first. After all it runs on wood or coal so a combustion engine (which would normally use fossile fuel) makes little sense in the iron age. Steam engines are combustion engines. External combustion engines,...

Re: [MOD 0.17+] Industrial Revolution (WIP)

What if belts were the reward for bronze age crafting? Take anything that uses copper gears and replace them with bronze gears. Hand filling during the stone/copper age doesn't seem to be too big of a deal since it's already needed for feeding inserters/burner machines anyway. I disagree. Nothing i...

The inserter above the yellow belt assembler looks like it's reaching up-left. Is it having a stroke?
No it just likes to take long swings to the target

Re: Friday Facts #175 - Programmable Speaker

Would be there a way to disallow global sound playback for everyone but selected group of people? On public servers there always will be that one person, who thinks that everyone want to hear constant ringing in their ears.

Well, Now I know what shape my new train hub station will be.
Don't be silly, it is not a sandbox game until you can build a dick in it.

Nah. I expect release to be June 30 at 23:59 UTC+2. Saves from dissapointment. Anything earlier is unexpected surprise.

Re: Friday Facts #142 - Playtesting

If you limit your factory pollution, so it stops spreading, and destroy nests already influenced by pollution, then no new biters will attack (as long as you prevent base-building. I do not rememeber if non-aggravated bases send builders).

Re: Friday Facts #142 - Playtesting

Pollution itself can decrease, but it impact on evolution factor is irreversible. In fact, even single forge, completely surrounded by trees, so pollution will never escape the chunk will eventually provide enough pollution to inctease evolution factor up to 1.

Re: Friday Facts #142 - Playtesting

I was wondering though, if a mod does an Evolution deduction, who will this work with this feature? To use round numbers, let's say the evolution factor is 30% = (Time 10%)(Pollution 10%)(Spawner kills 10%). IF a mod removes 6%. (exaggerated) , so the new evolution factor is 24%. What will the valu...

Re: Friday Facts #142 - Playtesting

Since its already implemented and in testing, I guess its too late for voting. As long as there are arguments provided in posts, it can give dev team new ideas to test, and it can lead to changes/improvements/scraping/remaking some aspects of the game depending on test results. So this kind of feed...

9+57+32 = 98 So what could be the fourth affecting thing that does 2% :o!?
Probably rounding errors: results are most likely truncated. Originally it could be something like 9.5 + 57.8 + 32.7
