Inserter mod

Howdy. Back to the game after being away for a couple of years. Previously I always used the Bob's Inserter mod to allow me to do angled and stretched inserters and such. But I am not finding that in the mods after loading Space Age. Can someone point me to an equivalent mod?

Re: Simple Questions and Short Answers

Apologies for all the chaos caused by my question. Thank goodness we all survived.

For the record, I needed to set a logistics limit on my ammo so the mod could tell the ammo was "extra" and to be removed, including to turrers.

Re: Simple Questions and Short Answers

Okay.. what am I being stupid about? I am trying to use the Even Distribution mod to put ammo in my turrets when I press shift c -- which it seems to say it will do and I saw Nilaus do it in his SE play through. But it is not working for me. Do I have to have logistic slots researched? That's about ...

Re: Friday Facts #378 - Trains on another level

While I like this, I think last week's rail change was a bigger deal. As you indicated train congestion was rarely a major problem. That said, it is cool looking and I'm sure I will have fun with it -- when I finally get to play with it that is...

Re: Friday Facts #377 - New new rails

OMG! Despite having a couple of thousand hours in Factorio, I haven't really played much since 1.0 was released. If this was put in the game today I would probably spend the next 12 hours playing Factorio. :D

248k mod

Howdy. I have a couple of thousand hours of playing Factorio. Did Sea Block and have had long play throughs of Bobs and Angels. That said, I really haven't played much since 1.0 was released. I was thinking of starting up again and saw a YTer doing a LP of the 248k mod, I didn't watch any of it but ...

Re: Train Stacker weird behavior

Re: Simple Questions and Short Answers

Howdy. Could you ever look at the logistic conditions of something via the map view? I thought I could, but I fired up a 0.18.xx and couldn't, so I fired up a 0.17.xx save and couldn't do it there either. I'm guessing at this point that I never could and I am once again a victim of my own failing me...

Just hold down the mouse button and hover in the area, even fast ones aren't terribly hard to capture.

Angels/Bobs and Uranium Ore

I started a Angels/Bobs play through, the closest thing I've done previously was playing SeaBlock. I've reached the late part of the early game and realized while I see research for Uranium I don't see any on the map. I saved, grabbed the map string, and looked at the setup. Uranium is not listed in...

Hello,
Just started the game few days ago and loving it so far, although I can already see it will become too complex for me :D
Give it some time, what seems complicated now will seem simple in not so long. Before you know it you'll be doing a play through with full Angels and Bobs... :mrgreen:

Okay, I gotta ask... no new posts in the Release forum since November? Did it get locked? It doesn't look like it is locked. I guess I could have attempted to post there, but decided to ask here instead.

Re: Disabled player, accessibility advice

There is absolutely no way i could shot an alien and move. Turn the enemies off -- you can do this in the initial settings when you start a game. I do this in about half my games. Some people think the enemies are a key principal of the game, others feel there is no reason for them to be in the gam...
