Re: Friday Facts #443 - More Planet Deliveries

The mine thing is really interesting. I would love it if the mine had an output mode too. The mine should pulse a 1 on a chosen signal when it goes off. Or, alternately, pulse a 1 on a signal that indicates what caused it to go off if you wanted to get really fancy.

If the mine would break the ...

Re: Friday Facts #442 - Flip, Flow, and Fresh Paint

I really like all the changes in this FFF.

My biggest question is this....

I've noticed that it's difficult to work with quality in flexible ways in mods. The attributes of an entity affected by quality seem pretty fixed. And how those attributes are affected also seem pretty fixed.

I'm only ...

Re: Hardcoded\Weird processing of 'normal' quality

The way quality scaling in general is handled is weird. All the mods I've looked at that try to make quality scaling work differently for an existing item end up creating special case versions of the item for every quality level and then performing a little switcheroo every time it's built. I don't ...

Re: Player character color setup

Thirded. I just asked if there was a way before finding this and discovering that there wasn't:

It's annoying because I usually don't even remember the RGB value I prefer and have to experiment until I find the color I like again.

Is there a way to change the default player color?

Every time I start a new game I have to manually set my preferred player color, which also often involves hunting around for the RGB value. I would like a way to set what player color I used by default when I started a new game, or joined a server if the host didn't have a different policy regarding ...

Re: A friend lost his password

A friend lost his password

He has a username, and a service token. He can't remember what email he used. Is there a way for him to recover? If he was sent a password reset to his email he probably still has access to it.

He could, I suppose, just try to send a reset to every email he can think of.

Re: Version 2.0.34


When we enabled LTO on GCC we were getting "Undefined reference to main()" errors that we could not figure out how to fix. Bisecting resulted in a completely random commit related to trains that, when reverted, fixed the issue. But reverting was not an option because it fixed a critical bug ...

Re: Version 2.0.34


A change that is not mentioned in the changelog is that Linux builds are now built with Clang instead of GCC, which has allowed us to re-enable link-time optimization on Linux builds. Linux players should see some performance improvements due to this.


I'm curious, what was the blocker for LTO ...

What is the best way to capture a cargo pod landing/crashing?

I want to have a special item that, if landed in a cargo pod when there is no cargo landing pad,, will automatically build a few items on the surface near where the cargo pod landed.

Add a toggle to disable the jetpack

TL;DR

Add a toggle enable or disable the jetpack on the mech armor.

What?

There should be a button near the one for the exoskeleton that lets you turn the jetpack on and off. If the jetpack is off, then the automatic flying over things behavior would be disabled and it would be like normal ...

Accumulator output should scale the same as storage with quality

TL;DR

Accumulator output should scale the same as storage does as quality goes up.

What?

The accumulator capacity currently scales at 100% with each new level of quality. The accumulator maximum power delivery in watts scales at 30% with each new level of quality.

Either capacity should be ...

Re: [2.0] Brave New World


One of my favorite mods. I don't think you need the player character at all as you are the factory. The canon in my head has always been that the direction of factory growth is done by an advanced AI or that a post-human has forgone his humanity and fused with technology and his entire being and ...

[2.0.14] Placing tile of quality concrete then picking up normal concrete

When you place a tile of quality concrete, and then you pick it back up, it turns back into normal concrete. This seems like a bug. Is it intended behavior? Walls don't work that way.

The reason this matters to me is that I'm trying to build a Rare quality electromagnetic plant, and collecting all ...

[2.0] Brave New World

This mod will need to seriously change for 2.0. Mostly, it will get a LOT simpler as 2.0 supports doing practically everything via map view.

I'm thinking of, instead of removing the character, confining the character to another surface (the "Control Room") where they manage what's going on on ...

Re: Friday Facts #418 - Space Age release date



The biggest motivation that arose from playtesting was to be able to add fuel to stuck locomotives, remove random items from places where they don't belong, and to add/upgrade/remove modules.

So the solution is, that you can just simply click a ghost cursor in an inventory slot to make a ghost ...
