Re: PyCoalTBaA or the PyCoal Touched by an Angel Compatibility Patch
Is this supposed to function with full py + omni and no angel's? Getting an error on startup:
Reading the code it looks like it presumes angel's is always available, though it isn't set as a required mod.- Thu May 26, 2022 12:42 pm

Hi there!
I landed on an error with the Carbon mod and made a bug report with more details on it on github:
https://github.com/brevven/carbon/issues/5
I wasn't sure how often you check the github page so just to be sure I report here as well

Re: Friday Facts #360 - 1.0 is here!
Grats on the release. Bought the game early-2014, got untold amount of hours in it before steam launch plus additional 5300 hours on steam. Enjoyed every second of it. It is definitely one of the greatest autism s(t)imulators out there :) I'm curious, how many builds have been released publicly of t...

Re: Multithreaded performance
But that's what the devs are claiming. That the memory bandwidth simply isn't there to make multiple threads useful. And this pretty clearly proves them wrong. It seems to be more a problem with latency. That's where threads and hyper threads would really help. Don't think they ever said that. I do...

Re: Thank you
Thanks indeed. I wish the game would somehow track the time I play it, I'm quite likely nearing or over 1000h already :) I've been massively disappointed in vast majority of AAA titles released in several years but Factorio has been THE timesink for me for months now. If you connect it to Steam, st...

Re: Friday Facts #244 - Localised plurals & Modernisation progress
So, while DirectX probably has better performance when doing hardware rendering, it appears that OpenGL has the edge in software rendering. Intel integrated GPUs are not quite the same as software rendering. In the CPUs that contain a GPU, the GPU part tends to take up more space than the CPU part ...

Re: [MOD 0.16] Upgrade planner
Not sure if I should post it here or in general factorio bugreports but on our server, we occasionally get desyncs when I open up the upgrade planner config. Interestingly it looks like other people can use it just fine but something like one time in 4-5, when I do it people get desynced. Usually I ...

Re: Intel CPU Design flaw
Is it, really? Most of the reports on it I've heard so far have said it's next to impossible to fix with patches and CPUs have to be changed on hardware level to get rid of it. No. Meltdown is an Intel specific problem which has a fix I said pretty much exactly that. I was talking about if there is...

Re: Intel CPU Design flaw
Wouldn't it be possible to prevent speculative execution for syscall instructions (and similar)? From what I understand, CPU itself has no clue if an instruction is called by kernel or some other piece of code so it has to be controlled on the OS-side. If I understood the patches made to fix Meltdo...

Re: Intel CPU Design flaw
there are two different exploits, meltdown and spectre. First is the one that seems to only affect intel stuff and can be "fixed" with a kernel patch. The other one exists on pretty much all CPUs that have speculative execution so anything from amd-intel in past 10y+ and a few newer arm th...

Re: Position-depend behavior in furnace recipes
How hard would it be to make it so that ingredient slots are always filled first instead of fuel ones? That would be a (seemingly) trivial change that'd make the whole thing consistent. But then what happens when you're trying to smelt iron? If it put the fuel in the ingredient slot first, then eve...

Re: Position-depend behavior in furnace recipes
I'd almost go as far as saying there should never be a furnace recipe that takes fuel items because it's unspecified if the item should go in the fuel slot(s) or the input slot(s). How hard would it be to make it so that ingredient slots are always filled first instead of fuel ones? That would be a...

Re: Position-depend behavior in furnace recipes
Furnaces will always try to put anything with a fuel value into the fuel slot first. Sure but the issue is that on one side of the belt, the fuel slot gets filled with a whole stack of fuel before anything is added to the ingredient slot while on the other side, only as much is added as in any norm...

Position-depend behavior in furnace recipes
TL;DR - the order that furnace ingredient/fuel slot gets filled depends on what side fuel is on that belt relative to the furnace and when on "wrong" side, will first put an entire stack of that ingredient to fuel slot before starting to add them to ingredient slots. When the furnace is on...

Re: Friday Facts #220 - The best Friday Facts ever
Well, not build the train at all, obviously. Remember the artillery train should feel like an upgrade not an expensive mistake ;) yes, using the train wrong will be a death sentence if one is unprepared. The devs should definitely try to somehow communicate to the player what does using the train c...
