that's a cool speedometer design too, mind if I use that? Please do. I always thought the idea of posting designs on forums was to share them, always happy to see others like the stuff I like too. The only ways I've found around this problem are either i) don't accelerate the train very fast, so it...

Or train accelerators, where you loop a train around until it reaches full speed before sending it off into ... wherever. Biter territory, a high-speed "freeway" track, etc. Without the ability to reroute a train by closing a yellow signal, both of those are either outright impossible, or...

Programming the rules of Go with combinators looks like a very fun and difficult challenge. Heh. I'd guess you could keep the game as a memory buffer of zobrist hashes for ko detection, do superko and forbid repeats ever? One array for the move history, a second array carrying four liberty-for-grou...

But map seeds are saved. Couldn't this have been (and couldn't it still be) fixed by marking map seeds and having the code use the old noise for the unmarked ones?

Constant boxes don't need power. I know, but having power doesn't make them dysfunctional either. Moreover, the pole isn't even connected to electricity (but the area actually is in range of a Creative Mod super substation). :-) I've just plopped down the combinator where it seemed convenient, not ...

Constant boxes don't need power.

No, global variable names in your code are looked up in that table, and one of the global variable names is `_G`, whose value is self-referentially that table. So after `_G['howd'..'y']='hoo'..'hah!'` you can `print(howdy)`. By the way, this is your opportunity to produce really horrible code. Do it...

If you *really* want the suffixes pasted on the end like that, global variables are in a table named `_G`.

Try this one? 0eNq0ndGSJbeNbf+ln0s3EgABkPMrNxwTslS2O6LdrWm1FNfh8L/fc6qrq8pWMolFjeZhPGOldpIECWYdcmH/892fP/zy+NPn9x+/vPuvf757/8Onjz+/+6//+893P7//68fvP9z/uy//+Onx3X+9e//l8e/vHt59/P7v9//v4y8/fHj8/vN3nx+//+HLp8/v/vXw7v3HHx//37v/kn89LP/tD5/++v7nL+9/+O7zpz9/+vLmX9Z//enh3ePHL++/vH/82o6n/+cf//3xl7//+fHzTf1F4...

i tried to have a closer look to understand what makes which build more UPS friendly. but i can't find an obvious reason. the second most ups friendly version (Nilaus - Megabase in a book) has more (or equal) of everything but is way more UPS friendly than my design. i don't get it. i'm actually cu...

The only concrete example given is oil, and the problem with that is, the three-fluid puzzle's still in the game, and is still not optional. Nobody launches a rocket without solving it.

If the goal was to give yourself a combinator design puzzle, how close are each set of stops to each other? Instead of the modular packing on a global circuit you could use a gate waypoint stop that maintains the count in its own limit, on the magic train-limit wireless broadband network. Make your ...

Looks like that's Chrome's problem, it happens for me too, but strace says Factorio's issuing exactly the same xdg-open command in both steam and native installs; and switching to firefox with xdg-settings set default-web-browser firefox.desktop xdg-settings set default-url-scheme-handler http firef...

Los Angeles, T-Mobile Home Internet, I got basically full available bandwidth, they guaranteed me 50Mbps and told me if I ever got less than that they'd fix it, what they were seeing was people in my area got about 150, sometimes 200Mbps, couldn't promise that but that's what they were seeing when I...

one of the devs mentioned that they'd done a small scale experiment where they refactored memory allocation for chunks to use more localised storage. either they didn't do it very well, or missed something, but it had very mild gains in performance. then again, i've suggested they use mimalloc befo...

Yeah, the extra drain is only useful for extremely-low-volume flow metering, I could probably lose it if I'd just up the premuiltiplier to 1'000'000 from 1'000. I like those two because they give three digits of precision on the mouseover readout, this setup reads -75k, -150k, -225k for instance: sn...

How about adding it to the rich-text renderer, "[local-time]" renders as the current local clock?

Oh, right, most of them are indeed shared by all clients ?
AFAIK one that isn't is player cursor position ?

Notice that the mouse cursor position is *write only*. It's not shared with any client. Any effects the positioning might have are broadcast, but that's different.

Clearly there are things that differ from client to client - GUI interaction for instance. But they don't differ from client to client. Every client runs every player's GUI interactions, the only difference is which players' GUI interactions get *displayed*. I suppose they could add a per-player &q...
