I am very sad, that nobody even tried to make improved version of digital display :( You guys are really good at making your displays smaller and smaller! I really doubt I can improve on any of your's or DaveMcW's designs without doing some intense research. Anyways here's my tileable single digit ...

Wow! This is really a beast :o ... Let me guess how it works: The clock sends out a signal only every second (or so) tick, then the empty spots between the ticks are used to send the 'data' signals. There will probably be a problem when sending the 'control signal' used by the clock - some reciever...

You could also use pipe-to-ground entities and just remove the pipe connection for the above ground pipe.

Alright here I go - just updated the original post with versoin 2.0. Nice job mate! Version 2.0 one is really compact for using only 1 signal. I'd think this is probably what I'd use if I'm going to use a multiplexer throughout my factory because it's so small and simple. It can be made easier to u...

I saw this on reddit and i made the suggestion that you could make the tunnels the vehicle type and have the player enter the tunnel with the ENTER key and use the on_player_driving_changed_state to trigger the player teleporting to the other side. You could also change the collision layer on the tu...

I found a big problem with my design that I hadn't noticed earlier. Because the decider combinator that was used to keep the memory in the deplexer was reset based on getting a red signal, it would keep the last output it had if the deplexer was set to output from an unused channel. If anyone can un...

I've was thinking about multiplexing signals in order to construct a smaller lamp display when I happened to see your multiplexer post. I skimmed through it and I figured I would take a crack at building one myself before looking into yours and seeing how different mine would end up. Here's the thre...

Dr. Walrus, your system works flawlessly. Even at a speed of several hundred items per seconds, it still keeps up :shock: I haven't checked out XKinght's yet. Thank you. After seeing XKnight's brilliant solution at least I have that going for me. I've been studying XKnight's contraption from his bl...

Pretty cool dude! It's always nice to see other people's solutions to the same problem I'm trying to solve. I've been working on a digital display myself and I've managed to shrink down the controller down to just one decider combinator and one constant combinator per digit I want to display. Here's...

While working on an accumulator mod, I was watching my accumulator discharge while attached only to an assembly machine. I did not excessive proper gun safety and accidentally shot the accumulator with my shotgun at pointblank range, destroying the accumulator. When a construction robot from my pers...

This circuit network update seems like it incorporates a lot of the concepts of the Smarter Circuitry mod. I really liked the concept of the mod, and it seemed like it should be a future part of the vanilla game. The problem with using the mod in practice is the same as my big objection I have to th...

I honestly cannot see why these changes seem like a good idea to anyone. I like the way the game works now where entities that connect to the circuit network either read a value or write a value to the circuit network. Its simple, doesn't clutter up space, and systems are easy to build, like a pump ...

Yeah : it just gives the answer to the question : Why am I doing all this ? :mrgreen: Speaking strictly for freeplay mode, the player doesn't need a story telling them to build a factory in order to build a factory. People build them anyways. Just like the player in gran theft auto doesn't need a s...

I think Factorio definitely does not need any more of a story than what is present in the campaign, and freeplay doesn't need any sort of structured story at all. The reason is that a story would not add anything to the game. When someone starts playing factorio they immediately begin mining and sme...

I found that if you try to load a map the already has another surface created besides the default one, the mod will show an error when you try to load the map. If you create a new world, type this into the console, save it, and then try to reload the game, the mod gives an error. /c game.create_surf...

Congrats on the release, this mod looks really nice. I moved it to new items forum for you. PS your wire shadow offset is a little off ;) Thank you Klonan! And congrats on the new job! And you are right about the wire shadow offset, but you must forgive me because I my entity sprites are edits of t...

Updated to 0.1.0! Check out the changelog for what's new. I am going to ask the mods move this mod to the new items, entities, and extensions mods subforum.
