Okay so I tested the campaign. I played it like if it was the first time I was playing factorio. I also knew that I needed to have good defense and to not go too far in research tree. But I still got killed near the end. I never done that much defense in any of my previous play. Usually I manually ...

TL;DR : ability to hide a tech we know we don't want to search for now

Hello,

I think it would be good if we were able to hide a tech we know we don't want to search for now.

That way it would be easier to focus on other tech.

For exemple, right clicking on a tech could turn it gray and put it ...

I have an idea : artifact could be used to speed up research. You could put artifact in lab and it would increase speed research by 10% for exemple, while slowly consuming artifacts.

A possiblity for damaged item is to "merge health" but always keep the item with 1hp. That way we could have 2 stack at maximum and no item lost.

For Rails, you should keep curent mining time, but reduce the mining time to 10% if we mine the rail in the 30s after we put them.

Hi,

I don't understand how the solution for very short length (<5) work. Instead of making the biter who bumped into the other search for a new very short path, you make the biter who have been bumped into move away, so also searching a new very short path. So why is this more efficient ?

Thanks !

So, I took me time to understand this :

In-activity - No items were added or removed for specified amount of seconds.

Because for me, if no item are added or removed after a specified amount of seconds, then the train is not in activity. For me a train waiting in a station while no item are ...

Maybe "Releasing 0.12" for the text ?

Can someone explain me

penalty of 2 * length of the block divided by block distance from the start, so the far away occupied paths don't matter much.

Thanks !

Have you tried to use 7z format instead of zip ?

Same problem, game crash as soon I put an object.

But I'm not sure it is related to train (even If i also created a game in sandbox and played with train), I think we have the problem when we load a save.

You shouldn't use train because they are usefull ... but because they are funny :p

You can build a power line into their network and drain all their electricity.

This seems really funny

I also have a desynchronisation on my save at the very start of my game. But the desynchronisation happend only if I play the replay at x16 or higher.

Yea but how can I increase the search progression then ?

Yes and No.

I want to create a mod to add a new type of lab. It take any object as input, consume it, and have a chance* to increase the current research progression.



* More exactly : the more an object have been consumed, the less we have a chance to increase current research progression.

For exemple, a player is searching Electronics which require 30 Science Pack 1.
Let's say for exemple, the player already used 10 Science Pack 1 in this search. I want a way in lua to progress the search, I.e. instantanly do like if the player used 11 Science Pack 1.

Yea, I search a way to increase research profression with a % of my choice with the lua api ^^

Hello,

Is there a way to increase the current progression of the current research ?

Thanks
