Whoa, amazing, thank you!!

Figured it out: obviously i needed to set trains_limit to 4294967295.

How do I toggle this checkbox via scripts: 2021-01-17-203657_1920x1080_scrot.png I can access the number via LuaEntity's trains_limit property but i can't seem to find the property for that corresponds to the checkbox. Passing any number to trains_limit automatically enables this checkbox. Setting t...

At this point, I thought, that I would come back to work with full power, but I just couldn't. When I tried to work, I had this strong, almost physical feeling of disgust, that was impossible to overcome. It was clear to me at this point, this is the the typical burnout situation. kovarex , as a fe...

Creep spade cannot be put into crusher, so there's no way to get rid of it when you no longer need it. #literallyunplayable Put in chest Destroy chest ??? Profit. In this mod bullets are physical and shoot over your buildings (like shotgun shells in vanilla), you can't target-fire with C. I guess i...

Wait, i still need it because i need to clear creep even if i don't need biomass. Mod developers these days. Can't even introduce bugs so that players felt good about themselves reporting it

Wood power looks real good in this mod.

0.18 plan It will become the final 1.0 version once it is stable. It will contain mainly: New tutorial New campaign Final mini tutorials My memories of how developing game campaigns usually goes suggests that you should release a testable version of campaigns as early as possible ; just one round o...

Well, there's a continous production of new people on this planet. Not fully automated, but pretty steady and reliable I expect newly manufactured people to enjoy the game for quite a few decades from now.

H**y f******g J***s. Seriously, why don't we just go ahead and build our own IRL one-rocket-per-minute megabase now that we've spent so much time on this and got so much experience?

I had the same problem once. Alien biome mod helps quite a bit. Also it made me do this.

I wanted to have a look at how terrain textures are handled by this game, and before i noticed i had this: photo_2017-08-11_11-25-42.jpg photo_2017-08-11_11-24-45.jpg photo_2017-02-28_15-00-00.jpg This was back on 0.14, when stuff wasn't hd yet. I don't think i have the guts to turn it into a mod th...

I'm still curious about how much energy does this use, to compare with my factory that tries to minimize energy usage through speed beacons and power switches everywhere, at the cost of an enormous logistics complexity and space. Because your setup makes a great baseline for comparing

Nice!! Found it, thanks

I usually combine beacons with power switches to make sure they don't waste power when machines underneath them aren't working. However, my power usage statistics screen shows that there's one beacon that's always on, even if all machines are off. Couldn't instantly find this beacon though, because ...

Suppose you reuse old underground belts to produce faster belts, like me on the screenshot. Suppose your construction bots have deconstructed a single old belt piece when it was damaged, and that piece gets to the assembler. Then it can no longer stack with undamaged belts. If one damaged belt is no...

You can use Coal Liquefaction to turn 10 coal into 10 Heavy, 15 Light and 20 Petroleum. You could use the Light Oil alone for 15 Solid Fuel to burn way longer than the coal (should also make up the energy cost of the Refinery). Might want to divide by 10. Coal liq turns 10 Coal into (15 + 10 * 3 / ...

It's actually 2 stone per brick, so 10 stone per bottle. But still not much, considering that even just furnace costs 20 stone and 50 iron.

1. Productivity modules are super awesome (rocket with full prod3 modules on all intermediate products gets ~3x cheaper as far as i remember). 2. Large matrices of machines with productivity modules with 2x speed3 beacons in a 8x8 setup (each machine under 8 beacons, each beacon covering 8 machines)...
