Re: Friday Facts #402 - Lightspeed circuits

So you are saying the assembly logic was pre-optimised 😉

No, it doesn't. It ends up polluting the logistic requests of the spidertron with every item not requested. It's not a proper solution.

Whitelist for spidertrons

TL;DR Give spidertrons the ability mark all items that are not requested as trash. What ? You have a spidertron deconstruct some things, but not all the items it collects are requested in its logistics. Manual intervention is required to stop its inventory from being clogged up. Why ? Makes spidert...

Allow belts in BPs to redirect/upgrade/downgrade existing belts

TL;DR When you place a ghost belt on top of a real one, a redirect/upgrade/downgrade order will be placed for the real belt if it is in a different direction and/or a different tier. This does not work for blueprints. What ? When belts in a BP are placed on top of real belts, the logic is the same ...

Re: We need more control over bots

Every single bit of control will very likely result in overhead, which is something the devs deem undesirable. The bots have so little impact on game performance because they are stupid. And even that little impact quickly becomes too much. Yes, there will be overhead, so what? What makes bots more...

We need more control over bots

This is not a feature suggestion. I was putting down some roboports in an outpost. The outpost didn't have power. After having put some construction bots in one of the ports, they rushed out to get some trash from me and stuck around as there was no storage. Then they bounced from port to port as th...

Re: Merging 1 into n belts?

Try this with the right two belts of the copper ore fully compressed and the left two empty. Yes, I realise that my arrangement of splitters did not make sense, the ore just competes with ore from the other splitters. I decided to invert the pattern and it's working really well. For example, to mer...

Re: Script to remove decorations on already placed concrete

Oh right, decoratives stopped to be entities at some point. It all works differently now. This cleans with half a tile radius, without radius the result isn't quite what I expected. Feel free to add in any other tile types you want cleaned. /c local s = game.player.surface local f = s.destroy_decor...

Re: Can there ever be a full 3D rendered Factorio?

I imagine this is what needs to be done at a minimum: - Make the choice of the engine or graphics library - Create a pipeline to convert the original 3D assets to game ready assets (including LODs) - Get the custom GUI to work on the new 3D library - Rig the biters and player characters for animatio...

Re: Script to remove decorations on already placed concrete

The one in the link looks like it should still work if you replace "local_player" by just "player". It doesn't. This is a multiplayer game if that matters. I've disabled all the mods but RSO. I changed the item name to 'refined-concrete'. Script so far: /c for coord in game.play...

Re: Merging 1 into n belts?

Well, using priority splitters to make sure there's free space seems to be working great. You want to put them in before every merge.

Merging 1 into n belts?

I'm looking for a pattern to reliably merge the contents of one belt to many others. The order and balance of items doesn't need to be preserved, it's just that if there is space anywhere in the n destination belts, then the in-belt can be merged. Example of what I mean: example.png Edit: I wonder i...

Re: Friday Facts #350 - Electric mining drill redesign

It looks really cool. But, the player hits electric miners pretty quickly. This looks really sophisticated for something so early.

Re: Friday Facts #339 - Beacon HR + Redesign process

The fundamental issue has always been that the beacon is the least believable thing in the game. Even against putting an oil refinery in your pocket, its magic stays out in the open, continually visible in your factory. Maybe it's entire purpose needs to be reevaluated.

Re: Friday Facts #277 - GUI progress update

Could you perhaps tell us what other GUI frameworks lacked? I've been thinking up to this point, why did you not just use Qt and theme it to your liking?

It is cool that you are inventing your own wheel, and doing it well :)
