Great, I'll keep that in mind while I pretend that Aquilo enemies were implemented.

Lasers are really not a good choice. Look at the resists. They are worthless for everything except small asteroids and are not the best choice even for those.

You could save space by removing 2 rows of lasers and replace with 1 row of gun turrets. Even with their smaller range and regular bullets ...

ooor u can set ag science to 99 hour spoil time by changing the spoil rate in map settings file


Holy cow, this is the first time I've heard that spoilage rate (and also asteroid spawning rate) can be changed in the new game settings. :o

Of course, there are implications: Your agricultural ...

Is this more feasible to implement now?

I would like to make a scenario where certain recipes are not allowed within a defined area. I was looking for an on recipe set handler which led me here.

I play with biters

Wow what a huge spike! Did you upgrade just prior? I wonder if it was changed.

Yay! This will fill some gaps from workaround layouts.

Keep in mind coal is not the only way to power an electric furnace. You can also use solar panels which is free. Nuclear power once set up is highly efficient and would power much more than your furnaces. The existence of module slots in the electric furnace alone makes it superior because of prod ...

I think the actual problem that is happening when I watch it, is when the centrifuge stops spinning, my brain can't decide if it has actually stopped spinning or has entered a "wagon wheel effect" speed.

A slower spin speed and less variable spin speed would both solve the problem I think without ...

If I have to I could also mark offending entities for deconstruction. But how can I scan the recipes on each entity in an area?

Only thing ur missin really is walls and flamethrower turrets.

Looking for an event handler that triggers on setting or changing a recipe in any way. But the closest one I could find was on_selected_entity_changed, but I don't know how it works.

What I am wanting to do is, in a scenario, only allow certain recipes to be configured in a given area by unsetting ...

That'll work. Thanks for the info!

OK I was afraid of this. So the next best thing would be to script the deletion of disallowed entities from a given area. To do this without pissing off the player would require the areas to be visible somehow.

Is this possible?

I would like to designate an area like coordinate x,y to coordinate a,b and then disallow building certain entities in that area. Is this possible?

Also, it is possible to allow building an assembler, but disallow setting certain recipes within the designated area?

The mod is for a scenario, if ...

Glad you are getting closer to a solution. Your DSL / Router seems to be both a modem and router combined. There is typically a way to disable the router function of these. Sometimes labeled as "passthrough mode". Alternatively you could get a compatible DSL modem that doesn't have any router ...

I tried those, but apparently you have to start a new map to use them, as I wandered Fulgora and Aquilo endlessly and they were just as boring as before.

I suppose I can try them in a new map with some cheats, but I am skeptical that they have incorporated all of the mechanics for enemies like ...

I wish the mods would delete this offensive thread. It needs to die.
