I'm working on a crafting combinator and currently am stuck at support for modules. Currently the crafting combiantor has a chest containing modules in a user defined order, one module per slot. When setting a recipe the combinator simply tries to insert modules in the order they are in the chest. W...

There are two parts to the direction of an entity: 1) the collision box rotates, the direction of the belt changes, the location of pipe connection changes. 2) You get a different graphic. I agree that rotating a tree makes little sense. Well, the first 90° rotation makes the tree a fallen tree. Tha...

"Factorio uses dependency injection in ... graphics". Isn't the rotation, specifically the direction value, purely a graphics thing? Direction is used to determine the orientation of the bounding box on the entity, to determine which way input and output fluidboxes are on the entity, to d...

That would also remove the loss of science packs due to transferring packs with partial durability. Apparently when you daisy chain labs you get less science than when you feed them individually. As for steam boilers don't they consume the fuel when they use the first joule of energy and then keep a...

... Weather he knows about dependency injection or not and why it wasn't used. Factorio uses dependency injection in a few places where it makes sense; network sockets, graphics, sounds, and so on. However, dependency injection only works when your dependency is an interface (set of virtual functio...

No problem! My bad on expecting everyone to know what rate-limited sushi is. BTW I think I have my setup for the 12 science packs of the expansion, can't wait to try that out :D Well, with rate limiting there really isn't any magic to it. And with 12 that is 6 per side or half a yellow belt each. I...

I'm just sometimes amazed at some of the problems when they are well known programming issues with established solutions. It triggers the "I've learned about how not do this and that sounds exactly how this was done" syndrom. Well, do you think Rseding91 doesn't know or considered and rej...

It’s not so, that the devs have nothing todo. And their internal list is surely sorted by game-play-value multiplied with the reversed implementation effort. Something like this. If it was sorted as you state, then a fix that had high game-play-value and a minimal 1/implementation-effort would be a...

hi, i am still missing the opportunity to split the output from a train station evenly to all trains that want to go to that station. for example: i've one pickup station for iron ore but if i have two trains that will pick up that ore and the production of the ore is too slow to fully support both...

You're welcome to make your own game with a similar feature set to Factorio and implement it in a way you see fit. Sorry if I come across snarky. You're doing a great game. I'm just sometimes amazed at some of the problems when they are well known programming issues with established solutions. It t...

As for C: While waiting for the game to (auto)save is boring is that really something we should feature shorten the game for so it's 0.00001% faster? Why do entities even have rotating and non-rotating types? Or if they must why isn't that using dependency injection? The entity class should get the ...

Well, I don't want to use the headless server on a switch. I just want it to exist so I can try running on a non-switch.

Since there is wind and clouds there should also be waves lapping at the support pillars.

Now you GPU wizards, get to doing some magic.

PS: shadows should be distorted by waves too.

As to headless ARM server: All the work is really done there for the switch client already. As long as the FPU of the ARM in question doesn't behave differently from the switch ARM core there should be zero changes. Where ARMs really differ is the GPU, i.e. the graphical client. In fact is there a h...

It's creating a hidden file with a random extension and only at the end it gets renamed to the real, non-hidden name. So I'm a bit surprised the game doesn't ignore it.

Why can't it remember the item visible at the top instead of scrolling to the selected item?

Thanks.

But why, Why, WHY rename the field between the data and game stage?

TL;DR Add the effect table from ModulePrototype to LuaItemPrototype. What ? In the data phase modules have an effect table detailing what effects the module item has. In the game phase modules use the LuaItemPrototype class and the effect table is unavailable. Add the table when the item is a modul...

I'm copying a large save game over a slow connection (simulate with rsync --bwlimit) into the saves folder. At the same time I'm trying to load a game in factorio. When I try to scroll through the available games it always jumps right back to have the currently selected game visible making it appear...

3) Smoothing doesn't really crate new data, it's merely a reinterpretation of existing data. So, you know, you can probably just smooth the 100 or so visible data points on the production graph, when it's actually open, and call it good. to repeat again, i'm not talking about strictly speaking &quo...
