Re: [MOD 0.17] Industrial Revolution

Hey, I've started playing with Industrial Revolution 1.0.2 and just got to the iron age, but I've noticed that there's no iron ore in my starting area. Is this expected? The closest iron ore to my start location is a long way away. Given that iron is required to build trains & rails, I'm not rea...

Re: pY Raw Ores Discussion

Yeah, seems crazy difficult to get enough glass. My starting quartz patch has room for about 2 crystal mines, so it's going to be slow going until I get to trains to bring in more quartz.

Re: pY Raw Ores Discussion

Is it just me or is the early game with PyRO pretty brutal? Having power poles take 16 seconds each to craft is a real drag, and the 10 iron ore -> 1 plate over 15 seconds ratio is pretty rough also. I feel like I'm never going to make it to the fun stuff at this rate.

Re: pY Raw Ores Discussion

@kingarthur do you have a sense for which Bob's mods are made the most redundant by PyRO? Like maybe we should skip Bob's Ores and Bob's Plates but keep the rest?

Re: pY Raw Ores Discussion

MOAR everything. I hope people like that big work. Ive seen pyMods arent much played.
I think it just takes time to get the word out. I'm planning a big PyRO playthrough over Christmas (if it's out) for a bunch of Factorio veterans, and I was surprised none of them had heard of pyMods before.

Re: pY Coal Processing - Discussion

What's the philosophy for merging Bob's Mods? I'd personally want to avoid having two different ways of making stuff, e.g. I wouldn't want to choose between making Coke the Bob way or making it the pY way (I'd want the rule to be "just drop the Bob recipes when they have equivalents in PyRO&quo...

Re: pY Raw Ores Discussion

If I can just share a balance concern: it seems possible that the higher tier processing for stuff like iron might not be worth it. You can do a whole lot of steps to get high grade iron, or you can just build a bunch of crushers, which is easier and will probably take up less space. This is a probl...

Re: pY Coal Processing - Discussion

Hey, I just started playing this mod with bob's mods, so maybe this a dumb question, but it seems like the crafting time for Wood is 15 seconds now? Is that expected? Having stuff like electrical poles take forever to craft is kind of unpleasant.

Re: Development and Discussion

Hi, what are the correct ratios for steel? I'm seeing 1 steel plate as requiring 2 iron plates or 3 iron ingots -> 1 steel ingot -> 10 molten steel. This seems like a bug because the metallurgy version is basically strictly worse at those rates.

Re: [0.15.31] Crash when adjusting master volume (OS X 10.11)

I guess 'immediately quit to desktop' might be a better description than 'crash', although the difference is kind of subtle.

I had another one yesterday when changing a keyboard shortcut in the controls section of settings.

Re: [0.15.31] Crash when adjusting master volume (OS X 10.11)

Game crashed again after clicking the 'pollution' overlay button on the map view. Had been playing without putting the game in the background for at least 30 minutes before this.

Re: 3-way intersections: Throughput Compendium [Image heavy]

To what extent can I just take one of the existing highly-ranked 4-way intersections and delete parts of it to get a good 3-way intersection? Does the throughput generally carry over?

Here's another one: https://gist.github.com/thurn/038fe77ff ... e124f670c0

This was from the main menu screen after keeping the game in the background for a long time -- could be related to backgrounding the app.

Ore Sorting and the new "Expensive" recipe mode

Hey, I'm doing a playthough of all Angel's mods with the new Marathon-esque game settings introduced in 0.15 for expensive recipes and technologies. It seems that in this mode Ore Sorting is now much worse than directly smelting crushed ore, because e.g. Saphirite sorting requires 6 crushed Saphirit...

[0.15.31] Crash when adjusting master volume (OS X 10.11)

I can't get this to reproduce consistently, but it's happened 3 times to me this morning. After playing for a while, I'll go to adjust the master volume and the game just immediately exits to desktop when I click 'Back', with no indication that a crash even happened. Logs don't seem to have anything...

Megabase savefiles?

I'd like to look at some savefiles for megabases in the multiple rockets-per-minute range, mostly to check out how they set up things like the train network. Is there a good source for finding this kind of thing?
