Re: Friday Facts #389 - Train control improvements

I did have the issue with train stop being considered free the moment the train starts. For large arrays of stops this was causing deadlocks. The solution I implemented was : a train signal in just front of the train station with a logical connection to it. The train is only allowed to leave if sign...

Re: Friday Facts #378 - Trains on another level

you long had my admiration but once again you will get my money too. Hats off !!!

somehow, I'd prefer if all the support had the same footprint. kind of reducing a bit the size of the straigth ones in order to have the same cross shape ?

Re: Friday Facts #324 - Sound design, Animated trees, Optimizations

Soooo, when do we get that update :twisted: I mean, 2.3 time faster (even if only part of the whole update) is not small ! On a side Note, there is one thing that I cannot fathom when factorio staff talk about multithreading: factorio already cut the whole map in chunks, why not making each chunk it...

Re: Friday Facts #322 - New Particle system

Guys, I loved this last update on particules. I was wondering what send my framerate from 10FPS all the way up to 50FPS. Now I know. My base has quite long walls with many, many flame throwers (40k unit) in death world setting. Bitter dies so often that the stats are smothed out :twisted: I tough fi...

[kovarex] [0.17.52] Train path issue when deactivating stations (erronous "can't reach")

Hi, one of the last update seems to have changed to way station works, especially when deactivating them. I have trains that refills outpost based on the need of each of them - and the outpost deactivate its train station when nothing is needed. Worked quite well for some time, until I started getti...

Re: Friday Facts #300 - Special edition

I’m surprised to see many Dune II lovers that didn’t make the jump to Total annihilation. I always thought the two games to be quite close (my two favorites pre millennium games)
Quite a surprised also to see how big your team got !

Re: [0.17.50] Train colision box

Now that I think of it, why not opening the gate instead of changing rails bounding boxes ? Sure enough it a minor thing and I can just remove the gate.
But that way you can’t tell you’d get bored :D

[0.17.50] Train colision box

Hi,
using curved rails, one can place a gate close enough to the rail to actualy make trains colide with it

Train will not colide if a wall is placed instead.

Re: New spitter splash has an unexpected effect on flamethrower turrets

Still, it’s quite depressing. I’m not a big fan of building outpost that need permanent spare parts ... because of their target range, you can’t place flamethrowers behind without burning everything and placing them front leave their pipe unprotected. Flamethrowers have a fair amount of HP and every...

Re: Friday Facts #298 - Demo upgrade for Stable

I like the change to the robots, they were quite underused in every game that I did - for the reason state in the FFF but also because they need to be deployed manually. Factorio is about automation, let eg roboport deploy capsules would really promote their usage, even late game. Deploy if enemy in...

Hi, well, I am not sure that this is a bug but I can't avoid finding it strange. Most if not all building resit the acid of spliter that remain on the ground, but a gate that is not lowered get damage as if it where a player. This kills a gate in about one and a half second and fells non logical as ...
