No problem! I know it's super ancient. Hate to waste your time on something so unimportant.

Thank you for the prompt reply!

Trying a couple more times, clicking Restart instead of Use OpenGL, it actually loaded the menu and is running. Although it gave me the DXGI error once I failed to connect to a server.

Going into config.ini and changing force-opengl=true to force-opengl=false allowed the game to get past the segfault and continue loading. But then I'm back to the prior error message: https://puu.sh/KhiFc/5b63bd54b3.png I realize this PC is ancient and far too old to be supported. Which is fine if ...

When I first loaded the game, it had to remove some mods. After restarting and doing the first time startup where it prepares bitmaps, it eventually finished but then gave me an error about graphic device removed. I didn't think to screenshot that. It asked me if I wanted to use OpenGL or restart. I...

Someone on Reddit suggested a condition that would test against remaining fuel Mj. This way you don't need to test for low specific fuel type(s). If fuel Mj is low, go refuel. If you change fuel type in the refueling station later on, the train doesn't even need to know.

Doh! Such a simple explanation. It didn't occur to me they were taking from us, I was thinking they were only refilling from the chests. Thanks.

With this new feature, we can set all the roboports near our resupply point to always have 100 logistic robots available. Once we arrive, our needs are serviced in record time, and afterwards you can see robots arriving to get the roboport back up to 100. In the example animation, it seemed the rob...

You've gone too far!

Attaching the factorio-current.log as instructed. Thanks.

Would the pumps outputting directly into a tank get the same result? So you wouldn't even need pipe from the center point to the tanks, just have the pumps go right to the tanks and not draw from the tank unless it has over some minimum amount to be sure it never runs empty (and gets wrong fluid). A...

Anyone know if this is fixed in 0.15 from the changes to fluids?

nou_spiro on Reddit pointed this out: Hmm actually 0xFFFF seems invalid accordig to RFC1624 Since there is guaranteed to be at least one non-zero field in the IP header, and the checksum field in the protocol header is the complement of the sum, the checksum field can never contain ~(+0), which is -...

You just need to keep belt under certain capacity. Use some logic to stop all inputs once the belt is full enough. Couldn't get this one to work though, without significant (and therefore probably unintended) amount of complexity. The question's answered though :) If you want to see some old school...

Was playing MP on a European server today and the oddest thing was happening. When the Russian players would speak English we could all see it, but when they speak Russian (I assume using a Russian character set?) their chat messages were just empty spaces although you could still see punctuation ma...

An idea I saw on reddit would be if turrets don't fire at spawners/bases/buildings. Then you still have to kill the bases yourself even if you creep to protect yourself from the actual enemy units.

I find if I use the in-game server browser and just sort by players and then quickly join a server, I don't have any issues. However if I sort by players, then sort by time, and click on multiple servers to glance at the players list... it's pretty likely when I finally do click Connect I'll get an ...

In terms of storing heat in an item, it reminds me of a chemical heating pad my mother had years ago. You'd boil it to "melt" the inside back into a liquid and store it. When you need the heat, you click a little catalyst/metal thing inside the pad and it starts a chemical reaction that co...

If this won't make it into v14 I hope you'll consider it for v15.

In my experience, Everything > 10 evaluates more like Nothing < 11.

What a fantastic explanation.

Perhaps just "Open Research after completion".
