V2.1 of my raycasting engine is here, this time with the doom UI. https://youtu.be/0bAuP0gO5pc thumbnail6_scaled.jpg save file: ray_experiment97_export.zip forum post of v2.0: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=193&t=88678 forum post of v1.0: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=...

I've created a new video, explaining how I did sin() and cos(): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSy9UKs9eeY

I've converted the save to 1.0 so it can be loaded on modern factorio versions again: download/file.php?id=64400 (I'm presuming it still works, but I've only tested it for like a minute so it might be that stuff broke during conversion)

This is so gonna break Facto-RayO...

made the first technical video about it: https://youtu.be/E0hTKsHInLc

That is very cool, do you have any schematics of the logic layout or will that be in upcoming video?

Don't have any schematics no. I'm planning (but not promising) to create some explanatory videos though.
Any specific component/technique/whatever you want to be covered?

I've made a second version of my raycasting engine in factorio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28UzqVz1r24 You can find version 1 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lVAFcDX4eM You can download the map here (not compatible with 1.1, you'll have to download 1.0): FactoRayOv2.0_export.zip explanat...

if anyone is interested you can follow along with the development of version 2.0 of this raycasting engine on my second channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... Le9xX_7tjb

Increased logistic filter count for requester and buffer chests from 12 to 30.

You have no idea how much helpful this is for me.

It would be even more helpful if '*' was allowed for setting the stack size on filter inserters.

I'm confused...
isn't that just the same as not limiting?

The amount of change in the map between any two saves doesn't seem to bear any strong correlation to how long the save takes.

That's because saving always writes the whole map to disk, not just the difference.

I found some other strange things with robots that I think are part of the same bug.

Yeah! No breaking changes!

You sure about that? https://xkcd.com/1172/

BrainlessTeddy had some technical problems so I'll upload the map for him. It map shouldn't be too big for the forums, I've uploaded bigger (has the maximum size been lowered recently?). And I've had the same error when trying to upload that particular file here. So here is a drive link instead: htt...

What did you do? Set the worker robot speed to 1000 with a command. /c times = 1000 - [current level] for x=1,times do game.player.force.technologies['worker-robots-speed-6'].researched=true end Deploy many logistic robots (Do it one by one, because sometimes adding a bot can fix one that is already...

no, however this is only because I seem to be unable to start a scenario in 0.17 with replay enabled (the map generator screen is skipped where you normally toggle replay). The fact that this feature is missing in 0.17 can be seen as a bug on it's own. And I assume if this feature is reintroduced th...

First question: What do you do for a living? I ask cause I am wondering what helped you develop the skills to pull this off. I'm still a student. Second question: How did you decide on where to begin developing something like this, both this and Pac-Man? I start by wondering if something is possibl...

You can help mitigate that.

Had you wrote a 3D game engine outside of Factorio? Seems like something so complicated would be even more complicated using combinators.

It's my first.

How did you come up with the ray casting method? Just trying different things in my head, until I found one that was feasible. Went through multiple designs before I even opened up factorio. How long did all of this take to put together? About a year? It's hard to tell, because I don't just start w...
