Re: Source management and Licensing for Mods

I know that modders in general are not submerged in the open source ethos, but please do not use non-commercial licenses. It makes it incompatible for sharing with mods that are much more liberal in their licensing. Wait, isn't this contradicting itself - are you sure you did not meant to write &qu...

"Global Variables" (was: Inserter Stack Size Circuit Signal)

Sometimes (for example when implementing the Madzuri Smart Train Loader everyone's been buzzing about lately ) we encounter good reasons to supply the inserter stack-size as an input, i.e., to a combinator, or to one of the various "smart" factorio things. We can certainly do this, now, wi...

Re: [MOD 0.12.27+] SmartTrains 0.3.79

Just figured out how to repro this. The bug is triggered while building the GUI panel to show the route of a line with multiple visits to the same station. There is a second error message, I think, which happens before this one: __SmartTrains__/control.lua:737: Error while running the event handler:...

Re: [MOD 0.12.27+] SmartTrains 0.3.79

Hello Choumiko, i upgraded from *.73 to *.79 and created a new line. Now i get the attached error message everytime the train reaches a station of the line. Greetings steinio Likewise. I presume the error occurs while manipulating the schedule, as after this message I notice my trains did not get t...

Re: Source management and Licensing for Mods

Pardon my ignorance but I have a few questions. For me, I just mod for fun, all this licencing crap to me is confusing and seems dumb (to me). I just like to do random stuff, I don't expect to ever get payed for it. I do it to add things into the game I feel should be in the game, or make balancing...

Re: Friday Facts #129 - The late game

Regarding the barrels -- obviously how Bob's mod does it is a dirty hack to work around the limitation that barrels can't hold different stuff like, I guess, tiny tankers. Presumably, SHTDI but it'd be quite doable to implement some "arbitrary beltable (liquid?) container" API and hot-conv...

Re: Friday Facts #128 - Back down to earth

I'm sure much of this has been said above (haven't read this whole thread and don't plan to) but if the last 30 pages were like the first two, then I'm guessing a majority of those expressing opinions have been tentative or against the loader idea. I have moderately strong feelings about it so I fig...

Re: Splitter not working properly

We had many talks in the office about these sorters :) Initially none of us understood how exactly they work. So this was not an intended feature. I figured out a way to sort using dumb inserters only without glitching the game. Behold: http://oi68.tinypic.com/2i79y4o.jpg A dumb inserter trying to ...
