I think that making factorioforum.com and factorioforums.com contain different things will only be confusing… it alredy contains the wiki and the forums Of course, but that's not what I meant.

I think that making factorioforum.com and factorioforums.com contain different things will only be confusing…

Maybe this post can answer your question.

Very nice work, I'm amazed how these things still get smaller. To be completely fair, though, I see at least one trick that would not have worked on older versions, namely the way the second copper wire factory is fed (in both versions of your factory). This works because the hitbox of inserters has...

I think the following image kind of explains what's going on: https://wrtlprnft.net/factorio_geometry.png As you can see, the rails in the curved rail segments are pretty perfect circles, but they aren't concentric. This means that diagonal straight rail segments are a tiny bit narrower than horizon...

Well, I guess this is intended, and they might be round, but they aren't circular, no matter how you build them: https://wrtlprnft.net/factorio_circle.png

Edit: I do like how you can build really chaotic intersections: https://wrtlprnft.net/factorio_chaos.png

Well, actually I changed it, it's not even that random anymore ;-)

The update should be automatic if you have 0.5.1 or 0.5.2 othervise downloadable at https://www.factorio.com/download/experimental Hmm, my 0.5.2 doesn't ask me to download the update (or update by itself).

Why would you want two underground belts of different colors? They wouldn't connect, would they? Actually, I think it would be more logical if both halves of the transport belts were the same entity. So after placing the entry you have to immediately place the exit, otherwise nothing will be placed ...

This was kind of less cheaty in original versions, because you couldn't mine your car.

If you are interest in seeing how many creepers could come in one wave check next thread where I have done some calculations of that (more than 700 after 50 attacks and way more than 2000 after 100 attacks): https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=545 I can only restate that the ...

I think Dr.Eddy's just referring to two trains colliding, not an actual unexpected program termination ;-) The way I read the post, one of the colliding trains was manually driven, he just ran a red signal.

Congrats on your 777th post!

Wait, you removed the info that it they're faster, but actually made them faster?

I'm confused :-D

Also note that while writing a .zip, you get to choose how much effort you put into compressing your data. Given the speed of current CPUs, compressing the data a little might actually speed things up because less data needs to be written to disk. Of course, that's unless you have fancy SSDs or huge...

Developing such system on your own requires a few things: 1. Adding capability to the game to download or upload some files from some server - not verry hard 2. Developing seververvide web service whic would be used for sending and retrieving data from game client - verry hard as it needs to be bug...

I disagree with Dr. Eddie. I think the devs are doing a great job. We paid money so they get to spend more time on the game. They're still trying to figure out how they would like some of the aspects to be (map generation, trains, fighting, long-term goals, …), so I understand that they throw their ...

The prison architect guys just implemented a system where you can easily share maps with other players in-game. Something I like to do with the few available saves on these forums is to load them into the game and just walk around the unknown machine and watch it in action. I know that this is defin...

Are you sure that those two are the same?

I don't think that icon expresses “empty” as a state, rather “to empty” as an action. I agree that even better than an icon would be some easily visible change in the drill's appearance. If you want to make it really obvious, the drill could just mine itself and spawn as an item ready to be picked u...
