Re: Friday Facts #384 - Combinators 2.0

Something that is currently very difficult, and requires O(log n) time, is to take the maximum or minimum value from a circuit. So that would be a great fit for the selector. "Select maximum value(s)" + "Select minimum value(s)" Average value is currently easy to do with combina...

Re: Friday Facts #379 - Abstract rewiring

You can not red wire something from the map, but you could take a blueprint of it, wire it locally, then place the blueprint back over the top, and the wires would magically change. Thats just frustrating and annoying. Yes finally the devs are addressing this. Please don't stop with the wire connec...

Re: New API Docs website

I agree with Hornwitser. Unless I'm missing some secret way to hide the class list on the left, the actual documentation section gets scrunched into a much smaller horizontal space than the old docs layout, which means I can't fit nearly as much info on my laptop's screen. I'd prefer to have the nav...

Not reporting a bug because I know IR2.0 modifies tips-and-tricks, I'm assuming this is not Wube's fault (especially since there was no migration message). Log on pastebin if anyone is interested. I assume it is related to the messy interaction between overhaul mods and the tips and tricks system ,...

Re: [MOD 0.18] KRASTORIO^2

Just finished my run of Krastorio 2 and wanted to thank you guys for a great mod.

Re: Version 1.1.1

It is not whether we can do it, but whether we should. Adding extra modifier just for this is not worth it imo. What could make sense is to have a generic key to "freeze tooltip". That way, the icons in the tooltip could be inspected with tooltip (which could be again recursively freezed ...

Re: Friday Facts #361 - Train stop limit, Tips and tricks

The Tips looks great, though I feel VERY STRONGLY that you do not hide tips from the user. If anything, add a little dot or animated icon next to the pertinent ones, or ones most recently related to progress in the game. However, I ask you most sincerely not to hide information from the player. Ple...

Re: Deathworld shouldn't be about time race

You can create any game mode for yourself by changing the sliders, but even if you are expirienced player you can't know what can you expect from those values without making graphs... Because you don't want to get big biters at 7th hour, but you also don't want to be against small biters with blue ...

Re: Best practice: Adding new technologies to prerequisites

What I've seen other mods do is they would add A but leave B already researched (even if it means C is also available for research). It looks a little odd on the technology screen to run around and pick up a bunch of lower tier tech, but it doesn't take away something the player has already unlocke...

Re: Best practice: Adding new technologies to prerequisites

This is not about how to set a new technology as prerequisite to another, but about what happens after this. Say, I have added a new technology A to the prerequisites of technology B, so B can only be researched after A. No problem if you start a new game -- everything will be fine then. But suppos...

Re: A final note about Industrial Revolution

The currently listed CC-BY-ND 4.0 is pretty permissive. It even allows commercial use - so streamworkers should be happy as they may sell stream views to advertisers. It does not allow derivatives, but you can still make companion mods. So most modders should be happy too. And players in general do...

Re: [MOD 0.18] KRASTORIO^2

I would also like to know if K2 will in any way conflict with Alien Biomes. I don't think there would be a conflict with Alien Biomes (KL didn't have one). It's listed as eventually-compatible with Space Exploration, which has AB as a pre-req and AB mostly just changes the tilesets. KL didn't add n...

Re: [MOD 0.18] KRASTORIO^2

This looks neat, especially the new endgame goal. Even in the 160h IR+Krastorio game I just finished, I rarely needed more than 60% of my four-reactor nuclear plant, so the fusion and antimatter plants always seemed unnecessary. (The portable versions, on the other hand, were very useful for handlin...

Re: Can I trigger an attack action from a script event?

I'm not that familiar with projectiles and beams. Per your advice I was looking into create_entity and the first obstacle I encountered is targeting. The discharge defense is able to target all enemies within a radius of 8 around the player, but it's also not quite implemented as a projectile. Would...

Re: [0.18.3] Crash when throwing grenade/entering vehicle - *this->lastDamageDealer was not true

Basically it's risky to enter any vehicle if biters are currently trying to attack you until 0.18.4 is released - the game will probably just crash. Doesn't seem to be true the other way around (entering a vehicle the biters are attacking has been okay for me).
