Re: Wired lamps

firstly, lamps are special in the way they are handled by the electric network to account for their rolling start and shutdown each night. So this might not behave like you'd intent right off the bat. Secondly, wouldn't that make the lamp the only entity unrelated to the electric network itself to a...

Re: [0.18.38] crash updating with --apply-update

The log shows you having only 815MB of ram, so it might run out when updating. In that case I'm out of luck. Currently the free-tier AWS is enough for me and my friend and upgrading it to the next larger tier is hard to justify. on my headless server i just stop the game and overwrite with the file...

[0.18.38] crash updating with --apply-update

Hello! I'm new to running a headless server and managing linux in general. I'm using narc0tiq's update script to download update packages, that I then try to apply to the server with --apply-update to update it to the newest version. It's currently running 0.18.38, however the problem was already pr...

  • Added 'allow_burner_leech' to inserter prototypes. If set to true, burner inserters will look in the pickup targets fuel inventory when refueling.
Interesting! Could we get this for IR? Would help immensely for the burner phase. :mrgreen:

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

This is as non-prestige as I can get it without starting to lose the colouring too much In case you're looking for feedback: I think the metal variants look really nice and "scrappy" now. However, the glass one looks a bit odd. My experience tells me that glass shards normally come in pre...

Wow, why i see Mandelbrot pattern in it ?
It's an artefact of a quick and dirty tiling technique I used. You can make any texture tile-able by mirroring it along each axis once.

It looks nice, but is it possible to make the hight of the diamond less than the width?? to give the viewing angle more legitimacy??
That's exactly what I did.

Re: Friday Facts #312 - Fluid mixing saga & Landfill terrain

I'm more concerned about the "perfectly grid aligned" aspect of the pattern. Looks like 4 mini-tiles per tile, perfectly parralell to normal tiles. Maybe it'd help to turn the grid 45Β°? or make the lines a bit more wavy. I like your idea so I just made a quick mockup to test it out. Here'...

Re: Friday Facts #312 - Fluid mixing saga & Landfill terrain

I applaud the effort to give landfill it's own unique texture, especially because I prefer the dirt / dry dirt textures over grass as it goes better with almost every entity in the game. However, I think it suffers from the same problem as the old concrete texture: it's prefect grid pattern makes my...

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 quite understand just by your description. Could you make an example for me, please?

Busses are boring. Spaghetti 4 lyfe. Or do it the cool kids way and put all of the complicated stuff on a trains and just build micro bases everywhere. Preach brother! I'm about to go electric.

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

In IR without RSO, it isn't, on purpose, won't change. But RSO can in theory put iron a long, long way away. My own feeling is that this is exactly the challenge RSO should be adding, and playing with it a bit myself, it seems OK, RNG permitting - but it's not my mod and I'm happy for orzelek/RSO t...

Since you seem to like to look at bases made with IR I want to show you mine as I transition from the bronze to the iron age. I'm playing with RSO so resources in my base are about to run dry (especially copper) and I have to spend my first ingots to hopefully transition to trains. Biters are slowly...

I did some throughput testing on the Long burner inserters and and to my surprise they seems to behave exactly like regular long inserters performance wise - not including the time they might spend fuelling themselves.
