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...

It's much easier to implement this with some chests or belts, inserters and a fish (or any item really). For each oil refinery recipe you make one chest or belt piece and connect it to a pump. If the fish is in it the pump turns on. Then you add the inserters to move the fish between those positions...

The major issue is with modpacks, where the icons are often so similar to each other that trying to distinguish based on just the icon is hopeless. It should be settable per player in multiplayer games, and the name should localize for each player. Internally, the name should just be the icon, this...

Floating point error: Shown easily with the following setup: Assembler 3s with 4 Prod 3s. 8 Speed 3 Beacons per assembler. 7.7 Vanilla Red Science per second should need 5 assemblers. Helmod says 6. Floating point issue confirmed by asking for 7.69r Red Science per second. You can set the precision...

In that game all stations are layed out in columns the width of a train + curves and scaled to require a train maybe every 5-10 minutes. The copper stations needs far more trains than the other stations and is an outlier in the design. Hence why I said "to bring the train throughput more in li...

Say I have a recipe that produces this: products = { { amount = 10, catalyst_amount = 4, name = "thing", probability = 0.7, type = "item" } } How many things would that produce on average per cycles with 20% productivity bonus? The productivity bonus of the assembler only affects...
