Re: Parrallel processing in games & applications
Oh, also, the Mantle/Oxide/Vulkan/DX12-based Ashes of the Singularity ( 2016 ) boasted being "the first multi- threaded RTS" (or something in that vein), though AFAIK it "only" split graphics on one hand and AI on the other into multiple threads, leaving the simulation still single-threaded ? (And i...

Re: [MOD 0.16.x] MadClown01's Extended AngelBob Minerals
Well, it would seem that Angel might have slightly complicated the 0.17.51 vanilla resource generation , but it still seems to be fairly straightforward ? angelsmods.functions.add_resource("make", { name = "angels-ore1", order = "b-da", sheet = 6, --2 infinite = false, map_color = {r=60/255, g=84/25...

Re: 0.18 DeathWorld
Congratulations ! I never actually use red ammo :P. The damage to resource ratio is terrible even after considering armor. Good point early on - but I believe this is untrue for blue(/green) biters ? If you can't handle the evolution go turtle, if you can't handle the pressure go kill stuff. Sounds ...

Re: Help: Activating burner leech via research
I mean that you need to add new leech inserter on data stage and unlock it as the technology effect. This would also work poorly with mods adding other burner inserters or those that convert electric inserter to burner ones ? Change them as you want. for inserter_name, inserter_prototype in pairs (...

Re: Parrallel processing in games & applications
As I see it, there's no intention of bringing Factorio to multi-threading since it can only benefit to those with big rigs and would make it worse for lower end hardware. As someone that is on a 8-core FX-8320E (or is that considered "4 cores" now ?) that is slowly slipping into the low-end, I disa...

Re: [0.17.79] libpng warning
Ok, so it seems like that PNG actually *does* support color profiles/spaces other than sRGB - (even your own, custom ones !), The RGB colour space in which colour samples are situated may be specified in one of three ways: - by an ICC profile ; - by specifying explicitly that the colour space is sRG...

Re: 0.18 DeathWorld
In my experience, the turtling strategy starts to break down once Blue Biters show up with their armor of 8. If you're still on piercing ammo at that point, you're in trouble. (Damage upgrades help a lot , roughly doubling damage per bullet at each tier, but there are only so many of them before you...

libpng seems to have issues, and Wube tried to work around them the best that they could ?

And yeah, what 0.17 are you talking about ?
Biter balance has changed many, many times since 0.17.0 !

It isn't, because it's not a new dedicated inserter, but instead new functionality for burner inserters ?

[...] Satisfactory is a first-person 3d building game. Now it's easy to think that's just a gimmick something that barely changes how the game really plays [...] Uh, who would even say that ?!

Re: Let the car and tank move like the player does
This mod looks great !
Thankfully, a few trees can be dealt with in vanilla car just pressing on the gasoline pedal !
Rocks on the other hand... (And god forbid you are fleeing biters !)

Ah yes, I was wondering about that, but the modular nature indeed explains it ? (You can try to have mods that expand on other mods (including "base" mod) to hide previous recipes, but it can get hard to balance and/or unwieldy, see AngelBob interactions for instance... especially when using them wi...

Oh yeah, I should have mentioned Alien Biomes, though AFAIK Earendel still tries to stick close to vanilla balance ? (Except for the player movement speed reduction on sand - it makes fighting biters there extremely hard without laying down some other tiles first !) Alien Biomes is amazing, I use it...
