Re: Friday Facts #256 - The little things 3

Please don't make me go backwards and use personal solar panels! They should make personal solar panels more useful so having them in the grid is worthwhile. I personally avoid all the armor equipment until I get the reactor since personal solar panels can't keep up with the demand except for maybe...

Such a nice and round version number :D
(where, as a programmer, "round" is mostly defined as having to do something with the number "2" :lol: )
"2" is the loveliest number of them all. All things should come in powers of 2.

Re: Friday Facts #232 - PAX, Bugs, Graphs

I use just-in-time production for research anyway so if only one thing runs out the entire research module would grind to a halt anyway to wait up for that thing, so might as well just shut off everything then. Could you explain what "just-in-time production" is? I haven't heard of that w...

Re: Version 0.16.17

Can inserters now fully compress a belt? Or is that meant for a future update? I hope this will never be re-introduced. There are mechanics for that in the game, use them. What mechanics are you talking about that makes inserters be able to fully compress a belt, except for tick counting hacks? For...

Re: Friday Facts #225 - Bots versus belts (part 2)

Overall, it seems that beacons are the real problem, the only reason micro-builds are so popular is because of the beacon coverage, belts and beacons just don't go together as it currently stands. This. And as far as there are people that view bots as cheating there are those that consider β€œbelt we...

Re: Version 0.16.7

Adding some thought to why the fluid wagon wasn't intuitive to have it configurable: In a 2-1 or 1-2 configuration the wagon isn't symmetrical, and I think for many players that use double headed trains, any schedule with an odd number of stops could reverse the whole direction of the train and brea...

Re: Friday Facts #212 - The GUI update (Part 1)

I'm sorry, I must concede you're right. I feel like that makes ORs very hard to effectively use because they operate on an unequal level to ANDs. I can't think of a programming language where ANDs and ORs are not of the same precedent. C? http://en.cppreference.com/w/c/language/operator_precedence ...

Re: Friday Facts #212 - The GUI update (Part 1)

I like the new UI showing conditions of multiple stations. But the mock-ups show quite simple train schedules but already have so much stuff displayed. All the buttons and highlights are distracting. I hope that can be made less intrusive. Maybe by not showing all the edit controls until the player...

Re: Friday Facts #212 - The GUI update (Part 1)

Finally, I personally have always found it difficult to parse the train logic, so I am not always sure in what order the AND and OR conditionals apply. It may be useful to add parenthesis type conditionals or something to make it easier to read. It doesn't solve the issue of it not being intuitive ...

Map Exchange String does not encode Max Expansion Distance

I just started a new map and right before I did, I took screen shots of the settings. In them I set the Maximum expansion distance to 8 and changed a few other things. When I needed to restart I got the map exchange string and put it in the text box and it sets Maximum Expansion Distance back to the...

I would rather have it as an option in options -> graphics settings.
I would rather have it show up disabled instead of not shown.
