Re: Friday Facts #375 - Quality

I like the feature, but I agree the tier names need to change please.

For a start, if we can mass produce Rare items they're by definition no longer rare!

In case the mod portal still isn't notifying you (though I think it should now) myself and others have been getting this showing up every second or so:

Re: Friday Facts #262 - Hello my name is: Compilatron

So have you fixed the bug yet where it uses the wrong parts of biter AI and destroys the player's base, by "accident" or otherwise?

(If so, did you save any gifs? ^_^)

Re: [MOD 0.15.31+] Supportive Weapons v0.3.1 - Fixed bug

I still really like this mod for expanding combat potential, so it would be lovely to see it in 0.16 whenever that becomes possible.

I'm building a trains and biters world right now and the thought that I'll have to do without glue and all sorts of fancy electric zaps is rather sad.

Re: Friday Facts #198 - Rail segment visualisation

I quite liked in OpenTTD that rail blocks / segments would be highlighted by slightly brightening or darkening the tracks. It looks completely fine to have that happening pretty much all of the time since they don't leap out of the background as bright colors might, but you can easily see the differ...

Re: [MOD 0.14] AAI Programmable Vehicles

Another request to make the one-weapon-per-vehicle change a config option ideally exposed through the new mod options menu, please. If you really, really, really don't want to do that - can you at least make a player only "Multi-Tank" that's the vanilla tank? That's the only one where I re...

Re: [MOD 0.14] Supportive Weapons

Hopefully this is planned for an update to 0.15? While this sort of post is rather unnecessary most of the time, I'm making one here because this is one of the few mods that actually adds some interesting new combat bits. Factorio doesn't have that many, and so I'd be really sad to see this one go, ...

Re: [MOD 0.14] Walls Block Spitters

Perhaps some sort of cross-compatibility mod could be written that depends on both of these being active and adjusts the new projectile accordingly. From the looks of things, if the projectile is put on layer 13 and given a collision box it should maybe work? In fact maybe just adding an optional de...

Re: [MOD 0.15.x] Shield Pulse

Indeed, changing line 107 to:

Code: Select all

                    if (grid ~= nil) and (grid.valid) then -- Check for grid existence.
has fixed the problem for me.

Now if dropbox would kindly hurry up with uploading the save, I'd gladly send it over...

Re: [MOD 0.15.x] Shield Pulse

well with the latest version of the mod in the latest version of Factorio I get the grid error reliably on every load of the save I'm about to link you.

I think it's because you're checking grid.valid but haven't checked if grid itself is a null reference, on line 107 of control.lua.

I got a crash bug with this but sadly I could not reproduce it. I have a lot of mods installed. Here's the things I was doing at the time. Doing the same things after loading an autosave didn't seem to cause the problem to reoccur, sadly. While having no armour at all, building a light armour. Stand...

Re: Friday Facts #168 - Nightvision Nightmare

Another vote for MiloRK's version here, especially with highlighted biters.

More bits-and-pieces tech like this is always something I like to see in games as upgrade paths, so more gear that modifies how the game looks / feels would be appreciated, I apparently like modular things :)

Re: Friday Facts #160 - Playtesting

When you boil water in your electric kettle, that power comes from most likely a boiler elsewhere being powered by something burning to boil water, to make electricity, to boil your water! Much power is lost along the way, but it's still really convenient to send it through the wire so you can have ...

Re: [0.13.x] Bob's Mods: General Discussion

Just wanted to mention how happy I am with the new Electronics graphics.

I really like them, thanks whoever it was that did those!

I realize this may be old news as I haven't tried the mod in quite a while, but anyway, nicely done!

Re: [MOD 0.13.x] Modular Armor Revamp

I really like this mod, primarily for the grid power but also for the general changes that make power usage pre-fusion a lot more interesting and plausible. I liked the balance back in .13, so I'm waiting eagerly for 0.14 to be ready. Sorry to hear all the renaming and differences are causing you tr...
