Essentially the same thing as using modulus, but it does not suffer a rounding error due to overflow or underflow every however many hours.

Using modulus is exact, because (if implemented correctly in the combinators) it keeps the remainder and the remainder is the start value for the next ...

I made my own version of fuel consumption control that uses a similar PWM scheme, but does not use modulus. Instead, it decrements the clock once it turns nonnegative. Essentially the same thing as using modulus, but it does not suffer a rounding error due to overflow or underflow every however many ...

I have also experienced some clipping issues when launching rockets. I have some beacons to the north of the rocket silo and when the rocket is launching, the module icons are clipping through the rocket up until a certain point.

Attached is a clip demonstrating the clipping. The save is also ...

Here is my first attempt at a 2-lane 4-way RHD intersection. It's just slightly larger than a single chunk due to the need to make room for extra signals. Still trying to find a way to shrink it slightly so it will fit entirely within one chunk without loss of too much performance.

Behavior:
When changing filter conditions for a splitter, the filter comparison operator for quality draws under the splitter instead of over the splitter. This hinders the player from seeing the filter comparison operator within the window. Exiting from the window will show the comparison operator ...

Wow... that raycasting engine within Factorio just blew me away. I have no words.

The time has already come to release new fluid physics. Come on, make a final effort and do it already. You put it off for too long.


Oh wait they're taking orders now?

I'd like a ham sandwich and a skim latte, please.


Right away sir!


Dang. He must've already had root privilege. Didn ...

I would also like to have obstacle avoidance for ghost rail-building back. I really appreciated that feature quite a bit. I use it pretty extensively in my games.

Glad to see that the thread was updated! One of my favorite threads of all time Completely sympathize with code review and that someone was obviously drinking and coding.

Those graphical glitches were pretty funny

Thanks for the quick bug fixes!

In previous versions of Factorio (v0.16 and earlier) it would correctly recognize that I had the CONTROL modifier key bound to a mouse button such that pressing CONTROL+Left Click (both buttons on the mouse) would be recognized. However, in 0.17.1, the CONTROL modifier key is not recognized when it ...

The trailer was what brought me to Factorio. As soon as I saw that trailer, I wanted it. That was when it first came onto Steam. I can't wait to see if they'll update the trailer for v1.0. I think at the end it should include the Factorio sign in-game and fade out to the official Factorio logo. I ...

Yes to procedural wave defense! I stopped playing wave defense because it was too static.

The notes I tend to take I put it directly on the map. The rest, I do the math in my head ^_^

Yes, I'm always checking that thread. I get sad when it doesn't get updated *slight nudge*

I am very sad to see the splitter change. This broke most of my mixed belt setups. The outputs from the splitters are now very unbalanced (for mixed belts) because they do not retain the per-item splitting. Honestly, this change just pushed me from having fun with belts to just going to bots. I ...

Lacking stone may actually be a map coloring issue. In the minimap stone has almost the same color as certain terrains. Especially when you play on a desert-y map

I took that into account. First, I was actually looking in view, not minimap/map view. Then, I decided to turn off all terrain other ...

I like how far apart the resources are in very low frequency. However, there is way too much uranium even on very low. On the other hand, stone seems to be as rare as uranium was in 0.15. I repeatedly generated maps and scanned a 2000 chunk radius looking at resources. Stone spawned smaller and less ...

Fully expect an update to the "Factorio Development Explained in GIFs" after/during this release to see what captures the insanity the devs are going through to deliver before the holidays!
