It's that easy? Thank you!

I'm working on a set of scenarios and would like to enable the burner leech [mod] functionality during the playthrough with a research (to make players aware of it in an organic way). How would I go about disabling it when loaded and activating it after a certain research?

I'd like to thank you for your continued support. This is one of the great mods of factorio, one of the essentials to go along with other mods.

Thank you

Thanks kingarthur! The lack of information while things are not yet decided is understandable. I'm happy to hear there's talk going on behind the scenes, and that the mods future development is indeed a certainty just needing some final coordination.

Thank you. Please keep us in the loop when ...

I've created a thread about the max train discussion in general discussions. I'd appreciate if we took the conversation there and would be eager to hear from boskid as well. Cheers

Hey,

We've broached a topic of max number of trains. Boskid, I'd like to hear about the complications with the system if you find the time.

For reference, my most recent post in the FFF about it (admittedly not the correct place to discuss it;) )

I think you're overthinking it.

Each station ...

I think you're overthinking it.

Each station would get a new field #maxNumberOfTrains and #TrainsCurrentlyIncoming

The player sets maxNumberOfTrains it to some amount. Say 1. TrainsCurrentlyIncoming is a hidden field used by the game to track how many trains are incoming to this station.

If there ...

Are you sure the mod is in the process of being updated? I think Angel is now living the fatherly life of lack-of-sleep and lack-of-time, and I'm really not sure who is now in charge. There's mentions here and there of people having access to the mod, but I've yet to see any changes or improvements ...

+1 for adding a "max trains at this station: X" field. Would make life so much easier.

I'm really bummed out to see the campaign cancelled. While freeplay may always be the main mode, campaign promises to be a new experience. In particular for veterans with thousands of hours, a fresh new mode seems like a great change of pace to the well known, long mastered freeplay mode.

I was ...

Minor point: I'd deem map editor one of the least used aspects. I'd certainly put it below mods. Though it really doesn't matter much. Sensible changes overall. The current menu is quite unwieldy.

Kingarthur any chance you can make angel compatible with the new uranium-like ore Bob introduced? I.e. preventing it from spawning, allowing it to be refined in some way from the basic saphirite/rubyte/etc... ores? It sticks out like a sore thumb sadly.

Yes I don't like the artifact drops, an d plasma turrets didn't exist when I played it! Though imo the important part is turning RSO bitter generation OFF (so it uses default gen) and go with high density as in deathworld. It makes you very space constrained which, at least in my case, severely ...

Are there any news on the future of the mod? Is someone else picking up the torch? Is angel still working on it (bio in particular)?

I did an AB deathworld with RSO, with 4x science cost and rampant (biters don6take the same path but find weaknesses, so you need full perimeterdefenses). This had me on the edge even after unlocking laser turrets, as energy kept being tight for about 30 hours. Expansion was extremely difficult, and ...

I use slow inserters for slow things, and generally only upgrade belts as needed. My friend prefers using fast inserters and faster belts everywhere when possible.

Since the assembler ingredient limit removal I also use Assembly Machine 1 in some places where it's fast enough. That's the ...

Sorry I haven't read everything, just the last 3 pages. My question is, is the mod currently in working, fairly balanced state? Or did thing happen between .16 and now that make it unworkable? Looking to start up a new game. Cheers

And I missed your reply! But starting a new campaign now, so time to use this mod

Cheers

What I really want to discuss is that using one iron to make one saw to cut down one tree is just unrealistic. A saw is usually more durable than that and worst case you have to sharpen it.

Why not make the tree cutting recipe return a saw with 80% probability? So every 5 trees you need a new saw ...

I hope biter breeding eventually reaches a point where you can actually hatch friendly biters and have them go out in packs to fight biters. A substitute for artillery so to say! Really looking forward to trying bio processing and it's changes however! Always lived the puffers. Love all systems with ...
