Re: Friday Facts #393 - Putting things on top of other things

Re: Please make trains able to run over evolved aliens

kinetic energy = m v^2 / 2 i would propose that killing power is proportional to k.e. , equivalently killing power is proportional to speed squared. for example if 100kph can kill 3 biters before halting, 200kph can kill 12 biters. and the speed reduction should be based on reducing k.e. also increa...

Re: What are the most impractical items in Factorio?

the most useless is going to be efficient module lv3 (lv2 comes 2nd)

i'll be surprised if this item is not on your anyone's top 10 (or rather, bottom 10).

Re: How is "SPM" measured?

how is spm measured? press P (production tab) and read xxx/min. no matter 1 big factory or several many identical blocks, every SPM is as real as every others. if we think otherwise, there will be grey area like putting blocks very close to each other and swap some factories to make them not identic...

Fluid science

Turn science into fluid, labs accept pipe input and passes science through adjacent labs.

Now science can be pumped into tank cargo or barreled.

Not sure if mod-able, lab probably need 7 input site?

Re: Set absolute and relative grid separately.

+1. i ran into same problem. to implement this, we need 6 numbers, 4 for absolute (ax+b,cy+d) , 2 for grid size. That makes it sound more complicated than it is. You really only need two checkboxes for the grids as they are now. you did use 6 numbers, the mockup u did is actually what i meant. (you...

#1 modification:

A mod that adds 2 woods to every recipe in the game, and produce 1 extra wood.

or even better

Re: Math Riddle: Is it possible to launch infinite rocket on island map?

... since harmonic series grow O(ln N), we get: cost ∝ ln (rocket count) rocket count ∝ e^cost so the total rocket count is O(e^resources). Previously Dave show us with cost of 15 rockets, we can actually launch 2,100,000 rockets with mining prod (assume +100% bonus) because it grow exponentially (...

Re: Grid aligned blueprint trick

im guessing u can do it without landfill?

place 4 burner inserters (or anything not used) at 4 corners of the square, after snap to grid remove them. (i did not test it, i think that should work.)

edit: doesnt work if your blueprint extend beyond the grid.

a simple extension is: for any number of bonus productivity, like +10000%, it is still not possible.

Math Riddle: Is it possible to launch infinite rocket on island map?

Ans: No. Easiest riddle ever. But if i use mods to make the following changes: 1. change island size to as big as required, so it can contains arbitrary large amount, but finite resources (excluding fluids); 2. mining productivity now cost the same for all levels, and gives +100% productivity for ea...
