Re: Mod Upload Error

Re: Heat Pipe Network in Remote View

You can try setting Custom Map Colors for different Entity Types. It will not show an "Overlay" specifically for Heat Pipes or Highlight Gaps, but you could use it to Visualize the network Layout with a Highlight colour.

Good Luck!

I am assuming that this is a “Scenario Mod”? You can unzip the Savegame file on the server, and modify the control.lua file within. Re-zip it with a new filename and see what happens ;-)

Re: [2.0.47] Shield Regen Wrong Upon Taking damage from Max Shield

According to the Lua Prototype Data the Energy Shield (and Mk2) have an electric “Buffer Capacity” equal to 6 times the “energy per shield”. In your examples, 6hp is healed in the first Tick(per Equipment); so that sure seems like Intended Behaviour? The internal Buffer is exhausted after the first ...

Re: going for the lazy bastard achievement in June 2025

You don’t need to fiddle with Permissions or Console Commands; just un-set the Control Bindings for Craft 1/10/All in Settings (after you get to Automation 1 / First Assembling Machine ready). It is then impossible to Craft anything else by Hand.

Re: Stone bricks in the biochamber

This makes no sense thematically. The Biochamber building represents a “Caged Pentapod”, which is being force-fed nutrients in order to perform a biological process. This is a bit of a stretch for the Oil cracking recipes, but it makes some sense.

The Furnaces’ smelting process turns Stone into ...

Re: [boskid][2.0.47] Inserters can face diagonally

The Blueprint in the Bug Report no longer “works” in 2.0.54, it now imports as a “straight” inserter. This was previously a neat, albeit unintentional, technique for achieving diagonal inserter setups without resorting to an Inserter mod. However, in a predictable demonstration of XKCD 1172 ...

Re: Space platforms should be able to reserve items for itself, even if the planet below is requesting them

I want to tell a space platform to never drop all of an item - e.g. nuclear fuel cells - to a planet, and to always reserve some of those fuel cells for itself.
You can “buffer” some Items on a Belt section leading from the Platform Hub to your Reactor. If they are not in the Hub then they can’t ...

Re: Editor mode allows to build much bigger ships than in-game

There is a Limit to how far you can build in a North direction - which is not what is happening here.

For Performance reasons, Space Platform “Surfaces” only generate Chunks near existing Platform. If you are pasting a large Blueprint that exceeds the explored Chunks you will get an Error message ...

Re: [2.0.47] Inserters can face diagonally

This is just how Inserters work. The Vanilla tools only allow Cardinal setups, but you can do anything with Blueprints or Custom Mods. Having this Blueprint produce an error would break existing setups using such mods.

Good Luck!

Re: How does blueprint library size affect performance?

203MB is pretty big, but if it works then it works. You can move or rename the blueprint-storage.dat file to test it yourself.

Re: Atomic Bomb Terraforming on Gleba

I believe the in-game rationale for Atomic Bomb craters in-filling with Lava/Ammoniacial Ocean on Vulcanus and Aquila is that those planets’ Tectonics are “predominantly liquid, with a thin solid crust on top”. In contrast to the rocky/dirt solid planets of Nauvis, Gleba, and Fulgora which do not ...
