Not sure if I missed this, but couldn't find the info on it. So, I have a 4wide belt that has a mixed number of stacked items. How do I "max stack" them all?

I've started upcycling of iron and copper plates. My setup includes a bunch of assemblers and a few recyclers. I've got two circular belt loops, one for plate input and one for produced items (pipe or copper cable). Recycled plates are fed back into plate loop, while legendary plates are extracted ...

Just a quick post mortem on the issue. It turned out to be an actual faulty cpu. I've had my ryzen 5950x for more than a year, but didn't really notice any specific issues, besides two:
- problems with steam game installs, pointing to decryption error
- sometimes open vpn connection failed, odd ...

Has anyone played with this idea? So something like this for a "classic" 4way:

I played a couple of hours and the benefits are of course nice - you can inject anywhere in the bus into any line (fwd or back). Essentially a circular belt feels like a pipe :)

Downside is of ...

I made another test. uninstalled everything related to factorio, cleared download/temp. then set beta to none (basically 1.0) started downloading, few minutes later "factorio was successfully installed" :O
they I switch beta to 1.1.x, 120mb updates starts downloading, and at the end, drops the "disc ...

not really, but I think I saw "only" 3 different paths

tried, didnt help

yeah, like i said, i went through the list of what steam help suggests (clear cache, reinstall steam, try diff disc, etc..), but the result is same. I just installed a 30gb tomb raider without any issues, but a small factorio is giving me so much issues...
steam support is also no real help... "did ...

I only use windows stuff. I tried disabling it, same result.

Hi, I'm having a weird issue. If I select latest experimental version (currently 1.1.8) steam tries to update game, but fails with Disc write error. 1.1.6 installs fine, other games also install fine. I tried installing it on other drives, folders, nothing helps. I tried everything from steam ...

well, that was easy..
thanks

TL;DR
Like the implies, synchronize mods for local saves games also.


What ?
Save game should track which mods are being used in that game and if there is a mismatch with the currently active mods with the ones in the game, an (optional?) prompt should be given to the user, if he/she wants to ...

Seriously, though, how hard is it to create a function "create_particle_line"? I can write code right now:


it's not... but particle emission is not that simple
let's say that you have a simple forward moving emitter:
- with velocity of 1.0 units per second
- emitter emission rate is 1.7 ...

Regarding the particles offscreen:
what I do, is drop the update rate on offscreen particle systems. At the moment, the drop is fixed (1/10th of update rate), but one could easily make an adaptive solution to save even more updates (drop update more as systems are further away). The trick is that ...
