Re: Friday facts #158 - The end of the 32 bit era

That odd-looking intersecting ties show we need special textures speciffically for junctions...) Well, that would increase memory usage dramatically, so how about just changing background texture layer for crossing rails from ties to something like this: http://www.omnirail.com/images/Home_01_small....

I've read it "perverted"))) Had trouble to understand in what way it could be possibly perverted, untill re-read it carefully) Something is wrong in my head, I guess ;D

Re: Friday facts #153 - 0.13 Stable, 0.14 Experimental

Personal module idea: Producing modules - adds crafting speed, or even better: provide multi-crafting! (few items simultaneously) Personal pump : gives possibility to use fluids in nearby storage tank to manually craft things, that require fluids. Also, please, give internal battery to exoskeleton -...

Re: Friday facts #151 - The plans for 0.14

going direct to a pool type molten sodium reactors isn't a little bit overkill? starting with a simpler BWR or PWR is a little easier don't you think? Indeed. I had quite little time, so I simply forgot to suggest modular upgrading from basic to genIV. Simple suggestion would be using water directl...

Re: Friday facts #151 - The plans for 0.14

Nuclear power plant should be inspired by IRL one. It also should be somewhat complex build, otherwise it'll be just mindless super-puper-item plonking. I believe it should consist of 2-3 stages piped together (like steam power plant, but more complex) e.g.: Double thermal circuit system (Inspired b...

Re: Friday Facts #150 - New Terrain Experiments

New biome promises some new fresh variety (only aesthetic though, however aesthetics is also quite important thing) This will probably cause some rewriting of map generator, 'cause snow will look VERY odd close to desert. Not sure if we can have forest up to desert now, but I almost positive we can,...

Re: Friday Facts #148 - Optimizations for 0.14

Another thought about belt segments: you'll have to have some limit on segment length, finding "golden middle" between maximum performance gain from merging belts into segments at one hand, and on other hand, not having big lags when editing segments (as you probably know, we already have ...

Re: Friday Facts #148 - Optimizations for 0.14

This is part of the plan (and reason this will be effective). This is what was meant by the sentence in the FFF: Instead of moving every item in the segment, we can just change the overall segment offset as long as the belt exit is not blocked Ooops, I have to read more carefully :oops: Okay, an am...

Re: Friday Facts #148 - Optimizations for 0.14

Regarding the belt/pipe segment improvement. Have you guys thought about making those segments as long as they can be until the split or make a connection? So that means that pipes are treated as one segment until they attach to a machine or until they split to 2 or more pipes? For belts that would...

Re: Friday facts #146 - The GFX workflow

We already have barrels for oil. So, why don't we add water barrels and add the option to "craft" empty barrel from water barrels by filling the water into trains. Maybe one should also be able to "craft" water barrels by using an offshore pump or the new pump station while have...

Re: Friday facts #146 - The GFX workflow

if we get a pump that can fill liquids into train wagons we also should get a steam locomotive It'll be a pain if one runs out of liquid (water for steam locomotive / liquid fuel for diesel locomotive) 'cause you'll have trouble refilling it. As well you won't be able to easily start rails while be...

What I would like to see see is a customizable turret, basically you build the turret platform and you add what ever weapon you want, For example, you build the turret platform and you put a shotty onto it. or a rocket launcher.

Fluid wagon is announced, but flatbed platform is also useful idea. Also would like to see train semi-automatic riding - i.e., set station t...

Lol you guys arguing over like/dislike or 5 star ratings. Either way, the better mods will have better ratings.

Re: Friday Facts #141 - Mod Portal

My two cents about mod portal Not sorted, just random order. Instead of 5-star-rating?! 5-star-rating was invented for hotels and the rating is an objective, reproducibly test . It works for hotels, cause not everybody can give stars. With this in sense, what are those objective measurements for a ...

Re: Friday Facts #140 - Soon

Factorio bugs are usually very specific and multiplayer or mod related. Considering very big chunk of update work was dedicated to multiplayer - I believe MP will have much less bugs.
