Re: Friday Facts #324 - Sound design, Animated trees, Optimizations

Reading the part about Optimizations, I remembered that Dwarf Fortress suffer from the same limitations. Given that both are system simulators (in the conceptual sense) I think that it would be cool if you talked with Toady about your specific scenarios and how you deal with them.

Re: Compilatron box doesn't exist anymore, it's just an iron box

I think that compilatron getting stuck because an user action, without recourse, since it was impossible to move the power pole out of the way to allow the cut scene finish and everything to set up, is a bug. The campaign would work fine if the user just didn't put stuff in compilatron's way, but ho...

Re: Compilatron box doesn't exist anymore, it's just an iron box

Restarted again, this time I put the power pole far from where I know compilatron would be. Seems that the previous power pole was in the way and made it unable to move from its place.

Compilatron box doesn't exist anymore, it's just an iron box

After I repaired the assembly machine, the Compilatron box became just an iron chest. I'm unsure if it's reproducible.

See attached save.

Why are tanks a requirement for uranium ammo?

I get the requirement on military 4, being more advanced weaponry, but it seems that the only reason is because uranium cannon shells and you need the cannon shells to make those. But at that point of the game, I don't know if requiring ammo modifiers to be allowed only when the materials to make sa...

Re: [0.17] [linux] Manual updating gets stuck in a infinite loop

Downloaded the update zip file from https://updater.factorio.com/get-download-link as your api does, which gave me core-linux64-0.17.0-0.17.1-update.zip. Then used factorio --apply-update /tmp/core-linux64-0.17.0-0.17.1-update.zip to apply the update.

Re: [0.17] [linux] Manual updating gets stuck in a infinite loop

I opened up my "0.17.0" Factorio to check it out but it reports itself as being 0.17.1. I will investigate later what's going on.

[0.17] [linux] Manual updating gets stuck in a infinite loop

Since updating using the gui results in a bad_alloc I decided to update it manually. Once I noticed that the thing was taking too much time, I decided to look at it from the console. I see that it's stuck in an infinite loop: ../factorio/bin/x64/factorio --apply-update /tmp/core-linux64-0.17.0-0.17....

Re: [sound] "Alert volume" doesn't modify the programmable speaker volume

Thanks, then I wasn't going crazy. BTW, could the programmable speaker reuse the alert code path when set up to play globally and change the text to say "upgrade to alert", since that's essentially what the option does, and would explain what the option does. Do I have to open a FR for that?

Re: Make factorio use pulse instead of alsa

If your operative system has padsp, you can run padsp ./factorio and it would then use pulse using OSS emulation.

Make factorio use pulse instead of alsa

For some reason, on my new system ALSA doesn't work. While I figure that out, all other programs that use pulseaudio seems to be doing fine. Is there a way to pulse-fy factorio?

Re: Friday Facts #237 - Rich & interactive text

I think StrangeLoopsGames with their Eco game figured the item/recipe/technology interactive text thing. I for one, prefer simpler syntax like markdown plus converting to interactive text specific keywords. Of course, that suppose there's a scheme to the name of stuff.

Re: Canceling loading a save using esc key, provokes a crash

It's independent of save file. You just need to get game over (forgot that on the original report). Attached a save file with a bitter base just north for scientific purposes. The world doesn't have 5 minutes of being created.
