Re: Friday Facts #254 - No research queue for you

Please do not nix the research queue! :( Maybe you should not have thermostat on your air conditioner. it trivializes the cool air. You should have an egg timer that stops the AC every few minutes and you have to get up and go start it again each time. :twisted: I have been eagerly waiting for that ...

Because I don't know how to write mods... also I didn't want to disturb vanilla.

Re: Carpet Bombing Script

Explosions are circles, so instead of a square grid you should use a hex grid for perfect damage coverage :P. Though...as that would be zoom level dependant.. .at what zoom level should it be used? /me waits for autohotkey port Zoom level is accounted for. Script listens to mouse wheel so when you ...

Carpet Bombing Script

Couldn't stand manually clicking all the hives when launching artillery so I wrote this quick tool. You trace the border of the nest and it automates the mouse clicks in a grid. It's not a game mod, nor does it touch any game memory. It strictly listens to mouse/key input and injects fake mouse move...

Somebody should get a census together and tally up just how many trains were crashed with that update.

Re: Blueprint to new Lab 0.15

No need to have belts go to all labs.
Inserters can now pass viles between labs so you only need to belt deliver to the first one.

Re: what do we do when 0.15 happens?

Factorio lan party when it drops?

Or maybe just a discord server to hang in while we figure out new balances and features?

Re: Friday Facts #176 - Belts optimization for 0.15

About the UDP ISSUE.


https://ask.wireshark.org/questions/139 ... m-be-zero0

UDP has a special case where 0x0000 is reserved for "no checksum computed". Thus for UDP, 0x0000 is illegal and when calculated following the standard algorithm, replaced with 0xffff.

There is no spoon in multiplayer???

Will the "there is no spoon" achievement still work in multiplayer?

If so, how about headless server? Would the achievement just run on the server "up time" ?

Re: My train Unloading Tries

the reason chests are used as a buffer in almost all designs is because you can unload the train car much faster. Dropping the whole stack in a chest first lets the arm return to the car faster.

Re: Re-Enable Achievements...

My budy and I are both software engineers so we took a shot at editing the save ourselves... but concluded that factorio is extremely well optimized and moves memory around a lot. There was also a lot in the save file that didn't seem to make sense unless it was compressed. We were hoping it would j...

Re: Re-Enable Achievements...

From here:

https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?title=Console

I got:

/c game.player.print(game.evolution_factor)

edit: just testing "/evolution". It worked. I wish I would've know about this command.

Re-Enable Achievements...

So, achievements are disabled in a map if ANY console command is used. I learned this the hard way. I've got 50ish hours in a map and I use the console command to check the evolution rate. Little did I know this would ruin my whole game since I can no longer get the achievements I was working toward...
