To be honest, I am a big fan of DoT being applied every game tick, which makes it feel much more natural. I do understant that it comes at a perfornance cost, but it's a big "feels good" moment.
At 60TPS you won't notice a difference.

Re: [Poll] Battery graphics in 0.17

When a company asks you nicely to change something for trademark reasons you do it. Simple as that. Better to do it voluntarily and part friends (or at least without animosity) than have to deal with legal issues. Besides, someday you may have a trademark to protect. Why cause a fight when it is suc...

Since the current experience is a rather bad tutorial, yes, this is what ought to be done.

Re: [0.17.1] intro too hard

I had heard the intro campaign was hard before I tried it, so I ended up building defenses like I would in an advanced freeplay game. Thank goodness I did, because I was almost overrun. There are way too many enemies in this tutorial. Also, there is an extra amount of difficulty tacked on: You are e...

Re: Do you like hordes ? Over 11k

That tech should unlock much earlier. As it is there is no way to cross belts in the tutorial.

Forget splitting, merging, balancing, etc. With no way to even cross belts building a factory sucks.

Shallow water would be awesome for one thing: A really cheap landfill that can be crafted from stone *or* hand crafted very, very slowly from nothing. That way you cannot get stuck on an island with no way off.

Re: Friday Facts #232 - PAX, Bugs, Graphs

Well, for me I have all my big power poles wired into a single network in order to carry certain global control signals anyway (used mostly for emergency power cutoffs to keep the base defenses from turning off during a major brownout), so I just add latches to anything I want to control remotely.

Crash report link GUID

With the new crash uploader, submitting a crash report is automatic, but sometimes it would be nice to have a way to provide more details about the crash. Rather than making users upload the report to the forum with the extra info they want to add, why not give each report a GUID? This GUID would be...

Re: Friday Facts #231 - Belt compression & Crash log uploading

IMHO crash reports are missing one simple thing: A GUID that is added to the sent data AND displayed to the user as a way to link a specific crash report to a forum bug report. When the game crashes, the report is sent, and the user is told "If you want to report more details about what happene...

Re: Why not Qt?

Why not QT? This is why. That article is a little old, but it is still accurate. QT is not made for games.

EDIT: Also, way back the Warzone 2100 team started trying to move from SDL to QT for various reasons. Performance tanked, and the move was scrapped.

Re: Friday Facts #230 - Engine modernisation

Please don't split the renderer. This just causes either more work for you or one renderer to be favored while the other runs bad and/or with bugs. Please. think about OpenGL 4.5 only or Vulkan. I'll second this. There is no reason to support DX when OpenGL works fine. Vulkan may be a bridge too fa...

Re: "always on top" programs dont work with full screen factorio

I'll second this, but in a slightly different way: Factorio does not play nice with alt+tab, specifically it never minimizes. I'm guessing these two things are closely related.
