Of course! I totally forgot Steam does that!

Wow! Thank you! You've helped save my sanity tonight!

"There have been many complains regarding the terrain generation, we didn't encounter these problems in our games, but we should probably go back to it and tweak it a little." Please, are you guys saying you never encountered something like this in your 0.13 new maps? http://images.akamai...

This one is bizarre. Not really a bug, but it's something I cannot explain for the life of me. Until terrain generation is fixed I decided to revert back to 0.12.35. I have a large data drive, D:, that I backed up my 0.12.35 AppData folder to. Since I spent a lot of time making various mods work for...

And news/Planning on the terrain generation? I pretty much will try to stay away from .13 until the terrain generation is more sensible. Right now I seem to be unable to get anything resembling a sane terrain setup - biomes always are tiny and look like someone on LSD dreams of painting. Which mean...

Actually, I like the new terrain generation. It looks, to me, more realistic than the otherwise bland treatment of biomes we had before. It looks wilder. ie. more realistic. Deserts don't tend to alternate with grasslands every 100 feet irl :D Not if we're talking, like, the Sahara , no, but irl bi...

That's pretty much the opposite direction I'm going (I want one item that does all the things essentially freely, to reduce item/recipe clutter - with the eventual goal of not needing a dedicated category), but by all means fork it and make a complex-recipes version! You might want to fork off befo...

I would prefer one big tree with sliders and highlighting patch to selected tech. I second the suggestion of putting all trees in a long horizontally scrollable strip. The research layout could be more like the ones in Civilisation Games are. Those are laid out horizontally ... I can swear I read s...

Ouch!!

I am half tempted to expand on this for personal use and have it be created like concrete and not from concrete. Using additional items in the recipe to change the color. Use a piece of copper ore to get redder colors, coal for darker etc. In my dedicated Factorio modding browser window are about 6...

Sharp boundaries are to be expected with any reasonably performant update to the map generation. I just hope they have enough leeway to add in a continental-scale modulation for larger biome distributions again. I've actually been curious about this. The FFF about the new system talking about how m...

I can't figure out a way to request update notifications for a thread without replying so.. replying.

The people demand concrete!

.. request ... concrete...

Please?

I did some investigation of this and compared different 0.13 map generation settings. https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=27521 Based on https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=173&t=20858 it seems like something that's going to be ignored for a while while they're fighting ...

This is excellent! Thanks for putting the work in to showing the clearest example that I've seen so far of the wonkiness of the map generator!

People reading this thread are probably interested in my bug report: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=27199 The mod Water Maze does it's own terrain generation. You can outrun the generator though get killed because it spawns water under you if you go really fast. But A good star...

It would be feasible to replace terrain generation also - it doesn't need regen option so might be a bit easier actually. Coming up with nice algorithms that can adhere to chunk by chunk generation would be more of a challenge. Challenge accepted. ;) Do you know off the top of your head whether dec...

I posted this under general discussion not thinking to check the bug report forum before. I wasn't sure if what I was seeing was a bug: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=27655 There's a screenshot there showing a 0.12 save with a large area revealed surrounded by new 0.13 charted t...

About RSO - thanks for the nice screenshot. I did have a feeling that there are many more enemy bases suddenly. And I'm puzzled about it - I did not change anything in the mod code or config to change amount of enemies. You can reduce enemy amounts in new games from settings but on upgraded map you...

D'OH! The wiring behavior changed. I can't grab a wire and go from chest to chest to chest as before. Have to wire the 1st to the 2nd, then deselect the wire, then wire the 2nd to the 3rd and so forth... Ya I discovered that little change fixing my own loaders. Not a fan of that one! At least 'Q' d...
