I made a fast ming drill and noticed that the speed seems to be based more on the energy use times the effectivity than the 'mining speed' "energy-usage-per-tick": 5, "effectivity": 0.6, "mining-speed": 5, gives a mining speed of 3 and a 'mining power' of 5. Is this how...

wouldn't it technically be 2 tiles away, since the first tile away from it is the one right next to it. I will definitely be trying this, seems useful

P.S. If seperate locales are not in the next release you might consider uploading it anyways...

yeah you can... need to carry some fish and LOTS and LOTS of ammo, maybe a few turrets but otherwise it's just enough coal (if you use a car) to reach the more 'populated' area of the map (free play with infinite range just starts spawning more and more spawners) If you don't believe me I challenge ...

LOL you can't tell me this is a coincidence...
Possible to create own creeper-spawners? Postby FreeER » Tue Mar 05, 2013 10:30 pm

basically the same question

Had an idea about the red/green networks. So if you've researched and figured out that you connect the red-wire/green-wire to power poles and then to smart inserters/logistic chests you'll likely have noticed that the poles connected to the network show how many items are stored in the network right...

Too bad the forum dosen't have a 'thanks for saying what i wanted to say but didn't have the words to say myself' button next to quote. I'd have used it

this planet used to be an outpost for sufficiently advanced aliens, it is an artificial planet with a strong magnetic force (causing all the ore deposits) at the centre of the planet there is a massive creeper nursery. these creepers are sent to the planet top, they're MEANT to fight each other so ...

I would think that you'd only see the range of the turrets (all of them, just like the electric poles) but only the ones that are within your control. Especially if you think about multiplayer, it'd be stupid if someone had a giant base almost completely surrounded with turrets but all you had to do...

I'm sure it would only be when you are placing them... not when you hover over the already placed ones...

creeper spawner = teleport and the spawn rate is simply how fast the teleport charges up. creepers are tube grown assault units that go berserk if not given a mission, which is why they attack in small groups. how's that? lol plausible explanation :) however, that raises the question of where they ...

I created a quick mod to add a second tier creeper-spawner... only now I don't know if there is (currently) a way to have the game actually spawn them in during free-play. (and yes I created a new free-play world and went out about 2500 to make sure the game wouldn't do it for me. Would have gone fu...

Don't you believe in aliens ficolas? However I agree that constantly spawning enemys do not make much since (unless creeper bases were to actually increase in size over time to form a palace/hive (say over five hours it would change from a 2x2 into a 5x5 or 10x10 building) in which case it would mak...

There are few times that you need them, even though I've pretty much converted my whole factory to them because i'm lazy and haven't felt like using my 100k+ worth of copper to set up more labs/assemblers yet... almost reached the point where if we had blueprints and a builder I could probably actua...

5 range inserter...for some reason the image that pops into my head is of the cranes that are used to load cargo containers onto ships at a dock...

Would you really need to disable the steam turret to prevent OPness? Since the Tesla Tower would have a long cooldown (to recharge it's capacitor) it would be the same (except that the steam turret, assuming enough pumps, would be able to hold off the creepers until the tesla recharged). Not a bad i...

Why have I not thought to ask about this? LOL Maybe because I just throw about 5-10 in each direction the creepers come from and watch during the next wave to see if they get through. This would be very useful though. P.S. For some reason this makes me wonder if it is (or will be eventually) possibl...

Made a trip out to -2500 y for the rocket defense technology and found out what the stack size of alien artifacts was...Decided I should find out how much other people have managed to get in a single run :) http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/b637/FreeER/alien-artifactsstacksize_zps41e002a4.png P.S....

You know, I never realized it but it does the same thing with poles to chests (not sure if that was intended lol) but it still happens in 2.10

ok, that's fine :) no real use for it right now. But I tried it out and was wondering why it didn't work since it looked like i'd done what I was suppose to :) Also will the source (eventually) be released? not that i have any use for it or would even be able to read it (don't know any programming l...
