Re: High-Throughput Exact-Items Train Loader (w/o Bots)

Bitwise operations are often easier in programming for dealing with power-of-2 numbers. In this case 1<<30 is the same as 2^30, and is exactly 1/4th the range of the 32-bit integer (the full range is exactly 2^32). The particular bits being set here don't actually matter, addition or subtraction wo...

Re: High-Throughput Exact-Items Train Loader (w/o Bots)

It's not clear for me how you fill and refill the chests. In your video, you just insert a few items manually and completely ignore this aspect. But that's vital for practical and automated use. It seems you intend shuffling items with some splitter contraption, then insert them into the chests by ...

Re: Friday Facts #378 - Trains on another level

This is awesome work, I'm excited to play with it. :D Just two cents I want to contribute: 1. Elevated rails shouldn't have wooden ties; maybe a few red-metal girders instead. IMO this would look more realistic, and also being able to see through more would help to see what's under the tower. 2. Ele...

Re: Friday Facts #375 - Quality

Just one more comment opposed to this feature. What I fear most is managing multiple tiers of everything in every inventory. If different quality tiers don't stack, then inventory bloat will be crazy. But different-quality items do stack, then inventories will be missing information or else be too d...

Re: Friday Facts #324 - Sound design, Animated trees, Optimizations

Firstly, I would like to say, I really really like the water animation. It adds so much liveliness to an otherwise static world, looks fantastic, and fits in really well. That said, I would like to echo the concerns that have been raised, that the tree animation looks "pixelated" or "...
