I can report the same thing. A Biter spawner and a big worm set up camp near my initial coal deposit

Not just that, the notification seems to flash rapidly when you just move the mouse around.

edit: now that we have clickable buttons in that area of the screen - clicking the research bar doesn't open up the research screen.

yeah, for the second map. the first map (that I posted the exchange string for) is all default, though.

just got this map from the default settings: http://i.imgur.com/I2hynsol.png map exchange string: >>>AAANAAAAXQADAwYAAAAEAAAAY29hbAMDAwoAAABjb3BwZXItb3Jl AwMDCQAAAGNydWRlLW9pbAMDAwoAAABlbmVteS1iYXNlAwMDCAAAAGl yb24tb3JlAwMDBQAAAHN0b25lAwMDZ8bYKgAAAAAAAAAAAwCLu9Tz<< < The only coal is a smattering at...

i got the same thing just by generating a new map

I don't think we have much control over how a liquid resource works. But one way to work around it would be to have a custom "oil ore" type of resource that drops a "barrel of oil" item. You then set-up a conversion recipe that turns this item into normal fluid oil.

Somewhere along the line you've changed frame_count from 16 to 32, so Factorio is wandering off the image trying to find these extra frames.

IrfanView also has a batch mode that includes colour-correction options, if you already use that program.

You can do a good job tweaking the existing graphics using color shifter tools in photoshop or GIMP. Some of the extra graphics in DyTech and F-mod are worth checking out for examples are what you can do the pre-existing Factorio artwork.

Have a look at the .lua files for base Factorio to get an idea of how to lay out your file structure. A good way to start with Factorio modding is by adding modified version of some other item. My First Item was a super rocket launcher that wiped out whole biter bases in one shot. (It also crashed t...

Don't you want a steampunk mod?

Does this mean that there is a probability that you'll get multiple ores at once, or does getting one ore cancel the chances of you getting others? In different words, if you went (10%, 10%, 20%, 40%, 100%), would you get the last ore only when you didn't get the others, or would you get the last o...

energy_source can be either electric or burner.. there seems to be no way to get a normally powered entity to run in a "self-powered" mode. I suppose you could make it a burner assembler and require it to only use the added water recipes, but then you need to supply it fuel. Can a fluid a...

quite a few recipes don't state the energy_required parameter. IIRC, the default value used in this case is 0.5. The power usage is set at the entity level, unless you want to add a special "Steam Powered Assembler", I don't think you can turn off the electrical usage based on the recipe u...

2048 is called 2048 and not 100000000000

Is the data:extend{ { type = "recipe", name = d.name.."-steam", results = result, ingredients = recipeingredients, enabled = d.enabled, category = "assembling", } } just a neater way of saying table.insert(data.raw.recipe, { type="recipe", blah, blah, blah, .....

I have been reading about the new modding stuff added in 0.10.0 and a mod that does might be possible. I just don't know much about the scripting side of things to know if it work or not. A network_power container entity that when you put a turn_network_off item into it, checks to see if it is conne...

I've been thinking about a "burst mode" smart-wire system, and have realized that this can do what you want. http://i.imgur.com/dFCh5F0.png The Red Wire is set so Red 1 will send items only when the artifact is in the top chest. Green 1 puts the artifact in the top chest when steel drops b...

Minable Entities with loot tables that contain multiple entries with a probability value that is less-than 1 don't work the way you expect them to. A table with 5 entries with each item having a 20% chance to drop doesn't guarantee a loot drop every time. In fact, this set-up will only drop loot 67....
