Re: [0.17] A real math.random is searched

local newvalue = (oldvalue * 7) % 4294967296 will instantly give you a new pseudo random value. the 7 and 4294967296 are mutually prime the radix (7) must be greater than 1 and less than the modulus (4294967296) the returned number is an integer between 0 and the modulus-1. That is the quick and dir...

Re: last update 0.17.51 and 0.17.52 not working

I am also getting an error trying to download from the website. The download mysteriously fails after 10-20MB and is not resumable. I have slow internet 60KB's (600Kbps) so it may be a timeout issue, but it should be resumable.

Re: AWay to totally lock a track path.

...there IS NO WAY to TOTALLY LOCK a path... Thats why im suggesting it here in the suggestions section. Circuit network can send red signal = 1 to a light to lock it red. A red signal does not always prevent a train from selecting a path. It only gives the pathfinder a penalty for selecting a cert...

Re: Clock combinator

Can all be easily done with circuit networks. An arithmetic combinator. Wire its input to its output. Settings are Green Plus 1 Output Green. This will count up at 30 ticks per second. To have something trigger every e.g. 10 seconds. Add an arithmetic combinator wire its input to the above clocks ou...

Re: AWay to totally lock a track path.

The two signals are a bit confusing at first. Mostly they are misnomered. The 3 light signal will be red if there is a train in the path following it, green if there is no train is the next block. It can also be yellow or blue in certain situations. The singe light signal will copy the state of the ...

Re: Oil (overflow) burner

The way i handle the oil system is using the break down factory's which get toggled by a combinator if there is a shortage. For example the breakdown factory from benzine to gas get's toggled when gas is below 500 in the nearby tank. If benzine is lower then 500 the breakdown factory's get toggled ...

Re: Local power connector module for modular armor

So basically you want two entities. A Charging station to recharge teh suits batteries while standing on it, and a discharge station for powering a network from the suits panels/reactors/batteries. Shouldn't be too difficult to write a mod that implements that behavior. Perhaps require a suit item t...

Re: Train Station Status

No, those do not address the issue. Which is that I need a train to continue to a stop even though the train stop is disabled after the train begins its trip. Currently the behavior is that if the stop is disabled, the train will immediately reroute to the next stop in its list. For example - The CO...

Re: remove maximum_wire_distance limit

Try using a basewide network by connecting all the major power poles via red and/or green wires. Buffer outputs to the network with arithmetic combinators that simply output the desired signal, e.g. green * 1 output green or green + 0 output green. This isolates the network from stray local variable...

Train Station Status

Currently train stations can signal only 2 states, enabled or disabled. I propose a third status 'passive'. Which reads as disabled to all trains not already headed to the station, but reads as enabled to trains already enroute. The reason is currently, a station must remain enabled until a train ar...

Re: Why are 60 UPS = 1s?

1/60 of a second is the time it takes an item, e.g. a copper plate, to move one space on a blue conveyor. Speeding up or slowing the UPS max would effect conveyor speeds. Besides, your eyes can't even see 60 frames per second, let alone 120. You are fooling yourself if you think you can. it's more l...
