Re: Friday Facts #381 - Space Platforms

I love it! Except for one thing that seems a little weird: Building purely by ghost. I can understand why the platform shouldn't have logistic bots, but why couldn't it have construction bots? It feels like a break in realism...OK, OK, I already know what you're thinking. :D But normally building i...

Re: Friday Facts #375 - Quality

So, my thoughts: First, I am glad quality is an optional feature inside the DLC. I believe this feature can and will be fun, but I see also the times where I would want to play without it implemented, so good move on that part. I've scanned the comments, and notice a lot of both hesitation and antic...

Re: Friday Facts #367 - Expansion news

I only play without enemies, so if this picture means more enemies then I guess this expansion is not for me. I mostly play without enemies too. I wouldn't be surprised if new ennemies comes with new climates or other things that would still add gameplay elements to the non-slaugtherer player in th...

I disagree. Currently that is the only way to completely destroy an item. It's how I get rid of deprecated items

Re: Autolinked chests, how to include them in logistics system?

Of mods that I know of that have loaders, they can't be connected to the circuit network. Use an inserter instead.

I don't use speakers at all. I find large poles kinda useless.

The engine always bugs me the most. It looks like a smiling robot duck with its hair slicked back.
Thank you... I will always see a duck now when looking at the engine.

Re: Hardcore Vanilla

I'm a big mod player, but also really enjoy just the vanilla, and understand why many stick with it. However, once I discovered the bottleneck mod a while back, I could never go back to pure vanilla. It just makes it so much easier to spot where my lack of supply is coming from. But I agree that the...

Production limit design.

So I'm a long time factorio player (probably around 1,000 hours since the 0.14 version) but have never really delved into the circuit side of things besides very basic liquid control for oil refining. I decided it was about time to teach myself. I've done a bit of block coding and real coding, but s...

Re: New Ores

so instead of showing one ore, it's taken parts of two or more. So my ores look all choppy and weird. They work fine and everything, its just the graphics are really weird. Not sure how to fix this... does anyone have an idea of what's going on? Can you take a screenshot what you have and make the ...

Can someone tell me how to create a new ore like iron or copper? (ex. it spawns in the starting area but not only there.) See mod https://mods.factorio.com/mod/IceOre So I made some ores in my mod based of off your Ice Ore mod, but I'm running into a problem. The ores aren't displaying properly in ...

Re: What does "No order string defined" mean?

Thanks for responding! I decided to try one more time on another mod I just started making and it worked. Not sure why it didn't work on the first one. Maybe I missed a line of code when I copied it? I don't know.... thanks anyway.

Re: A couple questions about mods.

Thank you. I don't have any entities in my mod yet, so I tried it on an item and it didn't seem to work. Factorio didn't block my mod for an invalid code, but nothing appeared different. This is what I had: Am I putting tint in the wrong place? Or does it only work for entities? Thanks! Tinted imag...

What does "No order string defined" mean?

So I basically copied the code for assembling machine 1 for entity, changed the name, the amount of ingredient slots, and amount of module slots, and it gives me "no order string defined". What does that mean? I've never made new entities before in my mods. Also, how do I increase the amou...
