Re: Friday Facts #398 - Fulgora
When you record stuff for FFF, could you make the aspect ratio slightly wider? I've had trouble fitting a few of your recordings and screenshots, including these, in my screen without zooming out a fair bit. I'm not even using a widescreen either, so I don't think it's my browser making it bigger...

Re: Friday Facts #399 - Trash to Treasure
You think you're real slick with those fluid puns, don't you? But I have to admit, this whole planet is pretty cool . And some of the changes you made are quite shocking (Let that missed pun sink in). This is outstanding (you know, that's how you get shocked here: standing out. Okay I'm done :D )! O...

Re: Friday Facts #383 - Super force building
Supper Forced: Will work the same way as above but will also apply landfill in the areas where there is water. Therefore you do not need to landfill the place with water before you place BP or do this again because there was ONE spot with water right under a building. If landfill is reversible now,...

Re: Friday Facts #387 - Swimming in lava
Vulcan sounds more interesting with each FFF :) So, recycling an iron plate will just return an iron plate , with 25% chance. Wouldn't it return the ore? More to my point, why would it return itself? If you'd include the sentences before that: This isn't the case for smelting and chemical processes...

Re: [1.1.87] Freeze at specific time
The maximum integer value that a double can represent with full accuracy is 2^52, or 2.37 million years' worth of ticks. Can you imagine the disappointment that would befall the first player whose game froze 2.37 million years later? This is not fast two years Factorio speedrun... P.S. Sorry for my...

Re: Friday Facts #385 - Asteroid Collector
The Navmap was really good thinking IMO. Minecraft uses the former to great effect to allow villagers to find their way to a nearby village if they end up in the middle of nowhere. Each chunk assigns a number indicating the number of chunks between there and the nearest village, then villagers wond...

Re: Friday Facts #386 - Vulcanus
As long as the planet would still be interesting even if the lava were removed then it is still a strong design. Adding lava doesn't have to detract from the other features of the planet as long as it is done right. This is such a practical example of the rule of thumb tvtropers would probably know...

Re: Friday Facts #385 - Asteroid Collector
Looks great, and nice optimizations. The Navmap Navmesh was really good thinking IMO. Minecraft uses something like that like your tile navigation, the thing you were doing BEFORE and I misread the post (thank you Qon) to great effect to allow homeless villagers to find their way to a nearby village...

Re: Friday Facts #383 - Super force building
If landfill is reversible now, and other tile placements like extending a space platform are likely to follow (you want every action to be reversible when possible, from what it sounds like)... should we even need to hold the "super" key if placing tiles is the only thing blocking a bluepr...

Re: Friday Facts #379 - Abstract rewiring
When you started to talk about some of the problems with the old way of handling wire connections, the software engineer in me cringed. I smelled it before you'd started actually describing it, yet the code smell didn't make the feeling any better. Glad you paid off some of your tech debt, and I'm S...
