Curious.. Could the new 3D artist position hint to a first person mode?

Best news all year. Really!

Poking around in data\base\prototypes\entity\atomic-bomb.lua Looks like all you need to do is snip / mod the following out of prototype "atomic-rocket" ( right under comment -- Rocket PROJECTILE ) { type = "set-tile", tile_name = "nuclear-ground", radius = 12, apply_pro...

Suppose I build up my smelting arrays to the point where UPS is affected, but then fully compress their inputs to achieve abstraction, raising the UPS back up. Then I do the same for wires, circuits, and so on.. At some point I overlook a shortage in my power generation, and at once nothing is abstr...

You guys should post your CPU with these for comparison

Cheesy alternative:

An early game Compilatron that can follow you around with an inventory and construction radius.

Even though it would be slow, would be nice to have him working on repetitive crap until you get to bots.

I've always wanted to see a mod that has compilatron as a companion follower with inventory and construction abilities, albeit slowly. I don't personally know near enough about modding to attempt that.

So https://calculatorio.com/train_acceleration/ is accurate then? I've been thinking of forking that and adding some graphs around throughput, speed curve, time to travel X distance etc I had been putting it off but https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/dktywi/maximizing_trains_with_spreadshee...

I like the idea of skip conditions. But would they be needed if all decisions could be made via circuits? This, instead of some by circuit and some by the trains schedule itself. Schedule: 1) Station > Circuit <signal> Select station by ID perhaps? Wait Condition > Circuit <signal> <operator> <signa...

I've ran into issues where I couldn't connect to my own server because it was faster than my client on a large map. Client would hang at "catching up". Seemed ridiculous that the server would not budge on speed even for one player. But then, it also seems unusual that multiplayer processes...

Made this mod. Hopefully I did it rite!

Just made a mod for this.

Barrels have their uses. I've used them in sushi belts and in long defended beltways, where just a little fluid is needed to be moved and letting a few barrels hitch a ride on a shared belt was easier squeezing in new pipe and widening the walls. They add flexibility. No reason to remove them at all.

Just FYI: the current pump is 11.4 megabytes across 222 sprite sheets. It's already insane with all of the directions and animations it has. Would it be possible to remove all of those variations and correct the connection issue by splitting the graphic into two pieces, and have the telescoping arm...

TL;DR Allow fluid wagons to work when part of the train is on a curved rail by changing the pump arm graphic. What ? https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=500666#p500666 The way it is now looks dang pretty, but pumps wont connect to fluid wagons when part of the train is on a curved rail due ...

Here is what a dev says would need to be done in the mod.

Although I don't care much about the graphic. Could just remove the pump arm animation as long as it works!

best possible solution for this would be to change pump graphics to not have this overhanging arm for which a precise alignment is required to not look odd - in such case allowed alignment could be increased a lot. Couldn't the graphic itself be stretched to suit? It is supposed to be a hose anyway...

Mods should be able to do that (change gfx and increase alignment tolerance to 1 when pumps would always connect).

Just curious if anyone knows if such a mod exists? How hard would it be to create for someone with zero modding experience you think?
