Re: Friday Facts #276 - Belt item spacing & Script rendering

The current implementation of the script rendering boasts eight different object types. The basic geometric shapes being line, circle, rectangle, arc and polygon.
I would suggest changing the circle to an oval. And oval is to a circle what a rectangle is to a square.

Re: Friday Facts #175 - Programmable Speaker

Is the sound just going to be a piano? I mean, I see a dropdown box so obviously not, but what other sounds are planned? Because if you haven't thought of it, the game needs klaxons. Here is one (with an air siren) example. Klaxons, sirens and other alarms would be a great fit for a giant sprawling...

Yes, this is the most important part. In the end game I only use yellow assemblers, and having chemical plants the same speed makes ratios easier. But then agian, I use a lot of modules so the point is moot again :P

Re: [Kovarex] [14.21] Crash after desync.

So do I keep posting the desync reports and logfiles? I just happened again, but if these files don't help you then I won't bother to upload them.

Re: [Kovarex] [14.21] Crash after desync.

It happened again, same modpack.

Desyncs only seem to happen when updating the power grid, when plaing a power pole to power inserters to be exact, but that might just be my imagination.

It is a preview, since otherwise the chain signal in front of that station should be red.

Re: Achievements not quite working right

Achievement text for Solaris mentions three conditions: Steam engines are excluded. 10GJ are produced last_hour_only. Given that the wording is similar to other exclusion achievements, you likely need to make sure there are no steam-engines anywhere. Destroy em all, then play for an hour+ and gener...

Basically I want to be able to read the prototype's stats that are displayed in the right sidebar, and mainly crafting_speed, energy_usage and emissions and specified in the data files.

Re: Question about lua control flow

This printing behavior can be very confusing, but I suppose there's a reason for it. There was a time when a robot wanted to put an item in your inventory and your inventory was full, it would sprint non stop that your inventory is full. (Probably 60 times a second). They fixed it then by not print...

Re: Question about lua control flow

Instead of game.print, try log and see what is printed in the log file. Factorio automatically skips printing stuff if it has been printed in the last x (1?) seconds. For example if you do /c for i = 1,100 do game.print("text") end you won't print 100x text, but only 1 time text. Thanks f...

Re: [0.14] What is it used for?

So I have a little issue: If you lookup something it will also show recipes/technologies which are hidden. You're right, this wasn't important when you could only look up items in your inventory since you couldn't really get items that where hidden. But now you can search for items there are some i...
