Updated for 1.1 and totally social distancing compliant - 1 player per train

0.18 release is now available on the mod portal

Im using LTN Tracker and LTN Combinators, both are excellent complements to LTN, but I find that having the delivery messages pop up on screen helps me spot mistakes outside the LTN network, for instance if I see multiple sequential deliveries to a station that shouldn't be requiring so much input I...

I actually have the opposite issue to this, i would really like to be able to disable the "no station supplying x" messages while retaining the actual dispatch messages as i have a huge (200+ station) LTN network in my angelbobs layout and the number of messages being spammed is getting ri...

So I've been following the whole "Epic Launcher is stealing your data" saga for the last few days and a few things have become clear, firstly it seems obvious that this is just another case of lack of security due to inattention, everything the launcher does is specified in the ToS, which ...

Some text editors allow changing tabs to spaces, can save you a lot of time. For example, I am using "Sublime Text". Under menu "View" → "Indentation", there are whole bunch of options including "Indent Using Spaces", setting "Tab Width", "Conv...

Spaces won the whitespace war. If your IDE is any good you can configure it to convert tabs to spaces when it saves the file.

I just switched it to automatically indent with spaces rather than tabs, for some reason this never occured to me before, thanks for the tip

This whole tab hatred thing really needs fixing, especially as most IDE's will automatically add a tab when you do a new line from an already indented line, I think I spend more time debugging my changelog than I do my actual mod code atm :evil: I suspect this is why 90% of mod changelogs don't actu...

Mod was updated on the portal by me a few days ago if you hadn't seen it already

If you use RSO, then all base game methods to create ores, including the ones used by Bob's mods are disabled, and therefore your reports don't apply to my mods, they apply to RSO instead. Yeah that's my bad, I got a bit carried away and didn't realise RSO uses its own ratios for ore spread, apolog...

So last night I update the Resource Labels mod to 0.17 and just for laugh I generated 4 maps without water, charted a 2000x2000 area and counted the amount of Coal and Galena on each (excluding start area), the results were as follows: Map 1 had 37M Coal in 4 patches,10M Galena in 3 patches Map 2 ha...

Well I'm using RSO atm, mostly because I've always used it and it was set nicely to produce the denser/more spread out fields that I prefer, however in the current map I probably have at least 5x the amount of Coal than i have Galena (9 visible Coal vs 2 visible Galena), whether that's because of RS...

Yeah there used to a cool little mod called Map Labels that would label the ore patches on the map that could have helped but i wasn't able to find an updated version of it at the time, it does seem that some of the ratios are a bit off though but i haven't progressed enough in my current game to as...

Well i built my Central Hub thing right next to my first Iron deposit, which as luck would have it turned out to only be about 100m from the Copper deposit, I got the smelter up and connected and was just building more stuff but then it just felt like I was in a constant loop between the crafting be...

Well it just felt like one of the many survival games out there atm, gather resources, craft components, build items, repeat, didn't really feel like Factorio at all to me other than some of the components have similar names but then if your gonna use realistically named resources (iron,copper etc) ...

Had a quick hour on the early access version today, basically felt like I was playing the lovechild of Factorio and Ark but I don't think its gonna be as scalable as Factorio in that it seems very difficult to actually plan anything on a large scale due to fact that first person just doesn't give yo...

I found another problem is that some of the ore patches are incredibly hard to distinguish against the background of the map (Galena, I'm looking at you), I spent about 10 minutes literally crawling around my map view inch by inch at maximum zoom trying to find it as the 1 patch I had spawned on a d...

New version available with configurable depot names, filtered call function and a new OnExit mode for even more flexibilty

Something to add to your overview is that you can use spaces for indentation, but not tabs. using tabs will cause the parsing to error with a generic error on the line. Failed to parse changelog for mod Zooming Out Screenshots: invalid changelog file, error on line 23. Best post ever, was tearing m...

Special forum viewforum.php?f=15

What it looks like?

Looks like a forum with a really bad name tbh, cuz what I'm after isn't actually a texture pack in any sense of the word I've ever heard so i would never have looked in there, but thanks for pointing it out
