Normal coal furnance: 180kW of heat energy from burning coal. Electric furnance: 240kW of electric energy, "coal energy" to electric energy conwersion effectivity: 50%, so "coal energy" consumption will be 240/0,5=480kW. Ratio is 480/180=2,6(6) - rather high Changing it to 135kW...

Removing concrete/stone very occasionally crashes the game, I haven't noticed any pattern to it.

Occasionally it terraforms land into water instead.

Thanks, I completely forgot to check if the 12.0 update had broken the migration script. Fixed and updated.

The transport belt optimisations mean that items on belts don't collide any more.

Bump. Is there any way we modders can get a list of available properties/methods for all prototypes? At the moment it's a struggle getting the info we need from the game. For Lua objects: /c sel = function() return game.player.selected; end /c mh = function() game.make_file("help/" .. sel...

The only changes my mod makes are to the insert positions. The values I use are consistent with the base versions, but rotated 90 degrees. I'm going to say it's due to 0.12.0.

Thanks but I already whipped up an Excel spreadsheet to do it for me.

Any news on getting this updated?

It seems like the function to change a tile is still somewhat broken, I remember having similar troubles when I made the landfill mod about a year ago.

Playing around with concrete in sandbox mode, and I found that if I place concrete such that it is entirely surrounded by grass, removing the concrete creates water tiles beneath.

Here you go, this version has all the coloured arrows replaced with white:

Remove "_high_contrast" from the filename after downloading.

Edit: replaced default icons with improved contrast version.

I actually don't know - I started to play the game, and then got totally sidetracked tinkering with mods. I've never got around to building beyond the blue science pack phase - hence the uncertainty about balance

Oh no doubt it's more efficient the new way. It's just that the old way let me tinker with belt outputs without having to add any real event handling (other than placement and removal of the modified splitters).

That's a neat concept, I'll give it a shot.

In regards to not showing previous radars on first use, would a migration script fix that?

Changes to belt mechanics in 0.12.0 have completely broken the method I was using to block lanes, it may take a while to find a viable alternative.

Cheers, it works. Hadn't thought to try that.

A more serious problem: the changes to belt mechanics have completely broken my lane splitters. I was spawning invisible decoration entities to block half of each output belt, but the new belts seem to ignore collisions entirely.

game.alwaysday=true no longer works in console, is there a new way to do this or has it been disabled?
