Also Really nice idea to link icons in blueprint names.

Tell me you didn't write out those tags by hand

The icon tags are a little... verbose. Especially if we want it to be useful in chat.

Maybe give it its own syntax:

{iron-plate}

rather than

[icon=item/iron-plate]

Braces aren't commonly used so I don't think you're doing any harm by stealing the extra two characters.

Isn't this normal for Rseding

Install Linux on your phone/console, run factorio for linux.
Would be quite the hack :D

Unfortunately wouldn't work. The CPU architecture is different, you can't run x86 binaries on ARM. I also don't know if there are OpenGL1.2 drivers for mobile GPUs (which I believe is the version Allegro ...

Multi-level belts, with a flip piece?
Functions like a braided belt, except it has n times higher throughput than an express belt, where n is the number of layers, and does not require repeated undergrounds getting in the way of your layout. Flip piece is still 2 tiles long like ...

Guys, I like the new concrete. What is this disease? :(

- Was visually unobtrusive and light in colour

- Had a visible grid which was still part of the world (unlike debug overlay)

After loading up my 0 ...

The new terrain looks gorgeous though. In particular, the biomes are great -- they feel like proper regions now, not just random speckles of brown.

Yeah, I'm having to resort to using solid fuel for my furnaces and boilers, because I need the little coal I have for plastic

Seems a little bit back to front.

It is somewhat broken I think. My world settings are Train World, with richness set to Very Rich for all resources. After enough scouting to burn 20 coal in my car (since radars found nothing), here is what I have found:

- Copper 613k
- Copper 66k
- Oil combined yield 7821%
- Stone 66k
- Uranium ...
