Hi,

when I set all sound settings to zero, I can still hear the repair pack being applied while repairing something. That's it, I guess...

Actually, I don't see any need to make them "above" the normal level. You could make them at the same level, just render them last, so their sprites would replace anything below. And you'd just mark such covered space as empty, so you can walk over it and build there.

Or it could be done your way ...

I don't see any reason why should bridges be so expensive. Making pathways above ground is construction-wise quite cheap and simple. And for bridges above water - you just need pillars, otherwise it's simple as well. Unless you want trains to go over it. But still, just look at how stone furnaces ...

This seems too complicated without much gain. I'd rather if developers aimed at content (and stuff) rather than eye-candy.

I'd like to see something in between. I have used logistic bots on only one map and in only limited numbers. They were supposed to move material between two pairs of chests. When one pair got empty/full, those bots servicing that pair started to flee to the other pair, which was miles away. Then ...

Bump.

I'd like some developer reaction to this suggestion. I don't know how it should be done or whether it is possible. But things like mountains and rivers would give us a lot of new possibilities. For one I'd love to have hydroelectric power plants.

Hello,

I've been playing a map generated in 0.5.1 and being played only so much before upgrading to 0.5.2. I've found some fish on the ground. I can be quite sure those map chunks with fish on ground were generated in 0.5.2 (if I understand your map generation correctly).

Here are some uploads ...

For anyone who might be interested in this thread, the developers and I tried profiling the problem on my computer. Nothing specific came up so the conclusion is my computer is too slow to run such a big map.

The good news is improvements and optimizations should come in 0.6 series. We'll see how ...

Yes, there was just the train crash. No game crash

Hello,

I've just had my first train crash (I would swear that signal was green!). After accidentaly damaging my cargo wagons I wanted to mine them to repair them. Mining did not give me the cargo loaded inside. I would expect it since that's what happens with chests.

Thanks a lot for those bugfixes!

OK, thanks. You'd better move this into the Not a bug subforum.

Hello,

I tried playing that old save from 0.2 series, that I also uploaded on that unplayable slowness thread. I'm not sure what's happening, but one specific piece of curved rail track cannot be mined - it just says that it cannot be mined and nothing happens. Has anyone encountered this?

Here's ...

You are right with this one. The straight edges / the fish on the grass / etc. shouldn't happen when new map is generated. We will have a look into this one asap.


Great, thank you! :)

Since there has been multiple issues even after 0.5.1 there will be another bug fix release 0.5.2 in couple ...

Great, thanks!

I was just checking that you are not watching TV, because it doesn't meet your framerate standard and limit you cannot tolerate.

I said below 25fps people start seeing lags. TV runs at 25fps + interlacing which kinda makes it into 50. I didn't say I can't tolerate fps below 30, I just implied I'm ...

@ kovarex - can you reproduce? It would be nice if you said that you can't, so it would be obvious that you have to rely on Dr.Eddy's testing.

Dude, stop this madness. Do you really want to go there? This is like some kind of holy war against me.

And BTW: have you noticed one other guy also ...

Fun fact: CZ DVB-T broadcasting runs at 25fps (+ interlacing)
Yes. So?

Obviously, they have finish rewriting the main loop ( very beneficial thing for everyone with weaker hardware. I hope I'll be able to lower the FPS to save power while travelling ) before looking at this "unplayable ...

Hello,
just a minor bug. The Linux config file has a duplicate line in core/locale/cz/gui-map-generator.cfg. The duplicate is map_width. Removing it fixes the problem.

Ofcourse, that it is better to optimise the core demands than just use more and more cores.
If you want to compare the effectivity of the update and have save that is 0.2.10 compatibile, it is best to compare absolute numbers of the time spent in the game update.


That save is 0.2.10 compatible ...
