They're already annoying enough that giving garden variety mobs (even in comparatively small numbers) wall breaking, teleporting, flying and other supernatural abilities might be taking it a bit far. I like 4 and 5 and respect the amount of time put down in the others, but honestly, I hope not.

That's pretty neat, though... hard to make out.

How did you make it?

So, I'm a little bit confused, and I figured I'd try to find out what, exactly, can and can't be done using Lua. I've been poking around in the base 'mod' , but it all seems more like simple data definitions than any real logic. Are there any rules of thumb, etc. in the absence of an actual referenc...

Reading that thread, a lot of the participants strike me as having little to no experience in the subject. I'm no game developer myself, but as a programmer, I have no doubt whatsoever that a switch to 3D rendering would resolve all the memory and fidelity problems. The only issue is the difficulty...

I have the same thing, and it's not CPU or RAM exhaustion. I've yet to actually *time* the frequency, though.

I've played both the demo and alpha on Win8 and Win7, no problems at all here.

Translocator.

Macguffin.

Picker-upper.

Doohickey.

Radial Electrodynamic Transport/Repository InterExchange Velocity Adjustment Lever. (RETRIEVAL for short. hue.)

OP: I think you raise a bunch of valid points... They could've been worded a bit more conscientiously, though. :p

murillokb: why are you trying to debate away valid suggestions? That doesn't lead anywhere.

Agreed. I'm trying to build my first hydrocarbon plant and it's best described as... an unholy abomination. Between the counterintuitive fluid/pipe system, the fact that they block the player etc., they're a bit of a pain.

How about something like this? It could be linked from the top of the subforum, I think phpBB supports that.

Maybe someone could make a mod? ..\Factorio\data\core\sound\ambient Those are the files that would need to be changed.. Yes, but impossible unless you're replacing the music entirely, or somehow got your hand on the originals. Audio compression is usually "lossy", which means that every t...

I think a "smart splitter" would be a good idea. Configurable fraction/percentage

Admittedly I'm pretty new and haven't checked out suggestions in depth, nor available items (which is hard because you have no idea what IS available at first)
