Is there a way to make a 3way rail intersection that will give priority to the traffic that is currently on a straight line instead of merge/turn ? i.e. forcing merging to wait. I want to have many subbases and I can afford for them to wait for their free slot on a "highway".
But currently a train ...

If you have Py latest versions (as of today) loaded with pylandblock, pycoalprocessing will crash in data-final-fixes.lua, if you have in global settings set "override default resource generation".

Can we talk about power generation a bit?
Just decided to scrap my save on 0.17 and try SB on 0.18 and saw that Tier 1 Recipe for Green Algae was nerfed to produce brown algae "waste". Okay, sure, but then I compared charcoal recipe in helmod using Tier 1 green algae and Tier 1 (which use CO2) - to ...

Okay, the wooden brick stuff is really broken. You cannot make additional power poles withut them. and you supposed to advance until green science to fix that? With reduced landfill and everything this will be a painful grind

So I have tried new seablock with 0.16 and all updated mods and I can say that the new start is really insteresting, I really miss the SCT and and I think we need to have more (MUCH MORE) landfill at the start as this is the main bottleneck right now for which I have to idle, which is boring

A question to ArchAngel: are you planning on keeping changelogs on mod portal up to date? It is very helpful to keep track of the stability of the release by tracking the changelog, see if it was a major or a minor release, see is it worth starting a new playthrough after an update, see whether some ...

Sure, SCT adds a lot more interesting complexity to the modpack. Is there any donate button to help/accelerate modpacks balancing and development? ^^

is there any schedule when newly updated sea block pack for 0.16 goes from playtest to stable? I tried it and I really like the progression in early game. I also think maybe SCT can be left out too

can we remove science tweak for this modpack? it feels incredibly unbalanced for this setting.

The pollution from your development has already reached germany and spawners have already sent ssilk. I suggest you research some defence

And if you want total awesomeness in difficulty options, replace the fixed hardcoded values by 4 slider bars (for red, green, blue and purple science), with 3 presets (easy, vanilla, hard), and let the user the ability to customize if he wants.
Holy cow! I am voting for you to become president of ...

I'd imagine :
for normal difficulty : as vanilla for everything
for easy difficulty : all items need 25% less ressources to be crafted (if more than 4 of one type are needed
for hard difficulty : all red science recipes need as vanilla, all green science recipes need 25% more ressources, blue ...

Ah, now I understood.You mean to change the endgame-recipes.

Hm. Might be an option. But I recommend to make you the afford and calculate it through for some recipes. Use the tools https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=69
and calculate it through, for example for the blue modules ...

In my opinion, building and maintaining large scale factories is difficult. If (as a prerequisite) you will need a lot MORE (in comparison to a baseline, for instance) of resources to advance in the endgame, it will force you to build big and maintain big, thus increasing difficulty of the game. And ...

With the upcoming endgame content it would be wise to introduce some interestint difficulty concept, because every one of us likes to build different sized factories (from small tiny compact ones, to crazy big laggy ones) - and this should be an equally rewarding experience for everyone.
My ...

This is a very nice idea you have here, @kovarex, but I must warn you: you MUST give additional layer of "abstraction" to the player in order to keep game fun. What I mean by that:
I suppose you will need at least few rocket launches to succeed. In order to do that, you will need a shitloads of ...

Awesome! Thanks

Hi,

I haven't bought the game yet, but surely planning to do so. I've watched a LOT of letsplays and the only thing that stops me from playing the game myself is the absence of some "vital" (pure subjective opinion here) things for the endgame, like:

bigger train wagons/oil tanker wagon
semi ...
