Re: [MOD 0.17] Ore and plate compress
I'd seen the smaller version of Deadlock's mod, I also have Noxxy's Stack Multiplier, but it is disabled atm. If I could specify what items I want to increase the stack size for, that would be one thing, but I do not like it increasing the stack sizes for everything. You can quickly reach points whe...

Re: Friday Facts #292 - Inching closer to stable
Most people play through Steam, and so far we have found no way of determining how many people are opted-in to the 0.17 experimental through Steam. It could be that the game is more stable, or it could be that less people are playing. How can you not know this ? is there any way we can help with th...

Re: Raycasting engine in factorio
First question: What do you do for a living? I ask cause I am wondering what helped you develop the skills to pull this off. Second question: How did you decide on where to begin developing something like this, both this and Pac-Man? Third question: How much math did you need to employ when figuring...

Game Speed Toggle
As it stands right now, you have to open the console to change the speed of the game. This is also counted as "cheating" for some odd reason and disables achievements. The achievements issue doesn't really bother me much at all. What does bother me is how annoying it is to constantly be go...

Re: Deconstruction Planner and Other 0.17 Feedback
I am still not happy with how the Deconstruction Planner interfaces with the Tool Bar though. Mainly because you can't set filters to the Deconstruction Planner shortcut on the Menu Bar. This forces you to keep a copy of the Deconstruction Planner in inventory anyway. Yes you can, If you create a n...

Trees and Pollution
I get it, pollution is the mechanic that encourages Biters to attack, thus providing us with a source of constant production pressure. I get it, some measure of realism is desired by the developers and some players like that. I get it, trees can be harmed by pollution, especially the acidic rains th...

Re: Allow right-clicking on Upgrade/Deconstruction Planner for instant customization
A thread addressing my topic, excellent. Indeed, as it stand I save a copy of the Deconstruction Planner to my inventory permanently and ignore the shortcut on the Menu Bar entirely. The lack of ability to set filters on the Deconstruction Planner in the Menu Bar means that it is useless and just ge...

Re: New Game: Small changes with big impact.
Basically, if I understand this right, you want to be able to save custom profiles for various settings, besides the default profiles that Wube has provided. I.E. "Jack's Mega Train Death World" Patch frequency: 33% Patch size: 600% Patch richness: 600% Enemy frequency: 400% Enemy size: 60...

Re: Deconstruction Planner and Other 0.17 Feedback
Now, I can't get it to stick on my toolbelt unless I have a physical copy in my inventory? What gives? Yes, you can drag the dfeconstruction planner from the blueprint library, however it creates a physical copy. That is to say, it becomes a physical item that takes up space in your inventory. They...

Re: Pollution, Biters, and Biter AI
Ya I saw that when playing with the settings while toying around with ideas for future maps. I will definitely try that, but I suspect, in the long run, I will need some way to make trees immune to pollution. That or a biter AI overhaul and just turn pollution off.

Re: 0.16 -> 0.17 Military tech conversion
I have never used lasers on my outer walls, so I can't comment on that. I just use regular turrets with piercing ammo and flame throwers. Even now, with mad pollution and 99% evolution, biters insta die soon as they are in firing range. I haven't done any infinite research as of yet either though I ...

Re: Why i will never play 0.17
Never say never ! I don't get this whole "survival game" fad that seems to be going on right now. This certainly isn't a survival game. It is a game of logistic and production challenges with a massive dollop of puzzle solving, creative freedom, exploration, and endless growth. After laun...

Re: [Poll] Battery graphics in 0.17
The reason for the graphics change was not because the new one looks better. The reason was that DURACELL would sue the shit out of WUBE if they would not change it. So the previous one will not come back. Proof? If anything, Duracell would probably look at it, consider a letter, and then instead o...

Re: Why i will never play 0.17
First thing I did was set up my toolbar in 0.17 to the most common things I use in the 4 slots. The problem with this approach is that as a new player - or player of a new mod - one has no idea what the best arrangement of the items will be. So, lots of moving items around in the quick bar and lots...

Pollution, Biters, and Biter AI
Soo... I like trees. They make me feel nice and generally look good. At least, when they are alive they do. I also like the production challenges having to fend off Biters provides. As such, I want pollution on since that is the current mechanism by which Biter attacks are triggered. However, pollut...

Re: Why i will never play 0.17
0.17 cons: *SNIP* - new science back recipes broke my old factories - the removal of mining tools ruined the survival game feeling of the game - when they renamed the internal, not to the player visible, ids of the science packs it felt like they just said "fu" to all modders. Everyone is...

Re: A Question About 0.17 Pumps
Another question, anyone know of way to make bots build from the player outwards? So annoying to plop a blueprint down and see your bots racing to begin building at the farthest edges away from you first, especially if it is a blueprint to build walls against biters.
