Re: [0.9.x] Belt Lane Splitters

I've updated the mod to add initialisation code to make sure the research and recipes are registered. Re-download the mod and try it again.

Re: [0.9.x] Belt Lane Splitters

I've read that thread :)

I was trying to explain why even if I could, adding that collision box wouldn't remove the quantum tunnelling.

Re: [0.9.x] Belt Lane Splitters

Entities can only have one collision box. If you try to set a second it simply replaces the first. Splitters are hard-coded to render two belts side-by-side, underground belts are hard-coded to render the belt on only half the tile (and have other fruity issues with regard to entrance and exit textu...

Re: [0.9.x] Belt Lane Splitters

It's all in the collision boxes. Press F4-F7 in-game and compare these to regular splitters. The deeper collision boxes block the central output zones, and on the divider it stops them from reaching the central inputs too. http://i.imgur.com/Zm2CvYg.jpg http://i.imgur.com/VNqyG4m.jpg (spots added to...

Re: Half Belt Splitter

Seconding everything Hyena Grin just said. I think it would be more useful and flexible to separate the functionality into another item, though. A 1x1 entity that's a conveyor belt with one side blocked off so items can only flow along the other side. That doesn't reduce the need for splitters, and ...

Give turrets an "initialisation" timer that prevents them from firing for 10 seconds after they've been built.

Re: Disassembly Machine

Can a recipe produce more than one type of item? If not, you could still add a recipe for each item that converts it to the major ingredient, e.g. a basic inserter just gives you 4 iron back. Assign these recipes to a "recycling" category and only enable that category for your recycling st...

Re: Change names for labs, train stops etc.

Why not have stations, labs choose a random name on construction as they already do, but also provide an option for the player to choose a different name from the list (by a combo box or drop-down)? Donors get to keep their names on things, and players get to rename things.

Re: Programmable splitter

My suggestion would be giving splitter-type entities a list of input and output zones (like pickup and insert positions on inserters). Each input zone has a list of which outputs it can dump items in, and each output zone has a setting telling it how to resolve congestion (give one input priority, t...

Re: Using stone for land reclamation

That depends on what mods you use, and how heavily you fortify. I think you should be able to use stone or wood to reclaim land, as well as iron or steel to build bridges. That would allow plenty of different options even with stone-hungry mods installed. I used to play Simcity on the Super Nintend...

Re: Using stone for land reclamation

I was thinking it should be somewhat expensive, maybe 32 stone per tile, i.e. an entire stack just to make enough land for a single stone furnace. As it is there's not that much use for stone now, compared to how much is available.

Using stone for land reclamation

I had a quick search and people have suggested bridges over water, and bulldozers that clear dirt tiles and fill in water tiles, but how about simply using X amount of stone to convert a tile of water to a tile of land?

I would suggest deprecating usage_priority and replacing it with separate input_priority and output_priority, and then having primary/secondary/tertiary or just numeric values for those.

Re: [0.9.8] Electric Furnaces

Unfortunately increasing a furnace's input slots results in a crash on opening the GUI.

I have added an advanced furnace and renamed the mod.
