Re: pY Petroleum Handling

Hello. I started playing PyBlock and after reaching Hot air recipes I noticed an inconvenience - the Glassware recipe using Hot air has the Hot air input in different place (compared to all other Hot air recipes): Glassworks-Hotair.jpg It comes about from the interaction of PyCoal (where the Glasswa...

Re: [MOD 1.1] Sea Block Pack 0.5.9

Hello.
It seems to me that Ammonium chloride recycling recipe (unlocked with RTG) allows for a loop (together with Ammonium chloride gas from Nitrogen processing 2) that is very Ammonium positive.
This was surprising to me, so I just want to make sure this was desired. Thanks.

[1.1.37] Error on startup - D3D11_ERROR: DXGI_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED

Hello. Has minimum GPU requirement increased in version 1.1 to DirectX 11? I have quite old GPU (ATI Radeon HD 3650) and it worked fine in version 1.0, but now in version 1.1 it errors out during startup: D3D11_ERROR: D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapChain failed in createDeviceAndSwapchain on line 743.

Re: Friday Facts #366 - The only way to go fast, is to go well!

The dependencies aren't explicitly written down anywhere, they're just implicit in the order that tests are run. I've read that an advantage of randomized test order is it could reveal hidden inter-test dependencies (e.g. a later test doesn't set the test environment properly and "relies"...

Re: Alt-F4 #24 - Creating Memories

I find fascinating how much work was put into designing these circuits.
E.g. adding that little delaying bend in the bottom red line between Basic memory cell and D latch, that seems to stabilize the memory line when P/E input changes from 1 to 0.

[Rseding91] [1.0.0] Error changing too hot fluid in Infinity pipe's filter

When the fluid set in Infinity pipe's filter has higher default_temperature than 100, trying to change the fluid to one with max_temperature less or equal than 100 (or trying to clear it) leads to an " Error Util.cpp:83: Can't set max value to < min value ". I first discovered it using Sea...

Re: Friday Facts #329 - Campaign reassessment

I think #2 has some sub-options as well (making it more a hybrid): 1. The previous level could be on another surface, still accessible, with some method of transporting materials from earlier level to the current one. I imagine this method would be cumbersome though, making making the new factory mo...

Re: Friday Facts #316 - Map editor Lua snippets & Non-colliding Biters

I'm not able to play that Geary Grinder. I'm on vacation and my notebook pc hasn't a mouse wheel. Are there chances to implement a keybord-way (like + and -) ? As a workaround, you could try emulating mouse wheel using keyboard. I found this AutoHotkey script https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/scripts...

What is the appropriate place to post feedback/bug reports for GearyGrinder?
No texts (the level number, gear speed, all tooltips) display for me, the only texts I can see are the prerendered ones in pngs.

Re: Friday Facts #309 - Controversial opinions

I totally agree on the fact my intuitions shouldn't be what drives Factorio's development. Hopefully, your own vague intuitions and arbitrary assumtions will be ignored the same. I'd hate a game designed with the "L2P, noob" philosophy you seem to profess. Don't put words in my mouth. Pla...

Re: Friday Facts #280 - Visual Feedback is the king

Pi-C, how many exit signals (located on mainline/branch after the switch) is one routing station controlling? I've seen some designs with many (up to extreme 20) red signals in a row to *really* discourage the train from choosing that path. One. I could try to use more signals in a row, I guess. (A...

Re: Friday Facts #280 - Visual Feedback is the king

It seems the temporary station defaults to the "5s passed" condition. Wouldn't it make more sense if it defaulted to the new "Passenger present" one? As it seems the most common use case of using trains to pick you up at random places. I was thinking about some common (mis-)use ...

Re: Friday Facts #200 - Plans for 0.16

@mrvn, since bots would compute their path beforehand, similar to how trains do, does this proposal have the potential to trade current efficiency bottlenecks (with best-practice ways how to solve them) for currently unknown ones (but in a way similar to train ones)?
