Add some variance to smoke. It looks really unnatural, especially in the video.

According to this video recording of a talk from c++con, one can speed up LUA by small change in code - replacing large switch of functions with a table with goto label pointers, a generally unknown extension to c++. https://youtu.be/IAdLwUXRUvg?t=1879 (do not let his hat distract you :D) I do not k...

https://cdn.factorio.com/assets/img/blog/fff-311-station-walking.gif In this picture: the character has shadow as if the sun was directly above him/her while the train station remnants has shadow as if the sun was at 45 degrees. I think there were more entities in the game with inconsistent shadows.

Is it possible to generate the map-settings.json and map-gen-settings.json from map exchange string or directly in the gui? I know I can start a new game and upload the save to the server, but I would prefer to "acquire" the settings anyway, for multiple reasons. - It would help me to better underst...

RGB is for computers
use HSV for humans

Okay, I doubt it was intended but this was very funny. You don't get what you might expect by Goggling "HSV"...

OMG, LOL, I apologize
I meant hue-saturation-value color space ofc.

Interesting, I don't think I've ever seen a game with a hue shift towards blue at night, and it was my understanding that we tend to perceive the rod "color" as just luminance (grey) ? The hue shift is very slight IRL so most games ignore it entirely. I have mentioned it for the sake of completenes...

TL;DR Use eye adaptation algorithm to make the game better visible during night. What ? Human eye consists of receptors of two types: rods (tyčinky) and cones (čípky). Rods are responsible for brightness and are active all day, but especially useful at night. Cones are responsible for colors and ar...

BACKGROUND

CHAT
MESSAGES
PLEASE

I am very pleased to hear that you are actually thinking about the CONTRAST.

blur the background and make it darker.
(for example, current chat is almost impossible to read!).

STANDARDIZE PLEASE!
confirmations to bottom right! buttons that look like buttons!

honestly, I have spend DAYS to only find out that this name is illogical.
terrain_segmentation SOUNDS like a frequency setting for changing eg. dirt and desert.
the water should use water_segmentation or water_frequency.

yes please

please make player's inventory always a separate window. eg. make it clear that it is a separate thing from the train/chest/assembler..

PLEASE do this!

PLEASE do this!

I love it!

what about mods and performance?! me and few friends are playing factorio on vps (at wedos). when we were only playing vanilla (0.13 back then), our limit was basicly only memory. cpu usage at about 20 %. after that i changed vps: same cpu performance, double the memory, updated to 0.14 and added bo...
