Re: Friday Facts #148 - Optimizations for 0.14

Can we PLEASE make 0.14 the update where you add more energy generation methods? I don't care what it is, but something to bridge the gap between solar and steam and maybe for other stages of the game. Sounds as though you should look at Klonan's mods...... https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Klonan/KS_...

How do you get the Solaris Achievement?

Decided to go for the Solaris achievemnt last night. First of all I cut fuel to all steam boilers to end up on power supplied by 864 Solar Panels generating 52 MW at peak and 784 accumulators holding 3.9 GJ of power at maximum charge. Left it like that for a bit - no achievement. I then disconnected...

Re: How to store 4 trillion square tiles of map in just 8 GB RAM

So, does anyone have an idea how this is stored in ram in such a way that it is accessible in realtime? Simple - you use virtual memory ie the swap drive. Way way back in the mists of time when a PC had 640K hardware RAM that's how programmers did everything :) Of course processors weren't fast eno...

Re: Whats the stance on griefing ?

an accidental hold on the "c" key with auto-shotty I play with a game controller set up for factorio. Unfortunately I have the <SHIFT> and C buttons set up next to each other. Several times lately I have tried to use my pocket bots to place an item only to find I have placed it myself and...

This is a game! Realism is entirely optional on the part of the developers!

Awesome - I'll give it a try when I've finished my current Vanilla map :)

Or maybe even before that :)

Modifiers for resistances??

Is it possible to apply modifiers to resistances in the same way you can with weapon upgrades like Bullet Damage, Shotgun Shell Damage etc?

Re: Version 0.13.9

You may also find the biter behaviour I have observed during testing of my reinforced wall mod relevant. If you use a double wall with a gap in between the two walls, then the biters will attack the first wall they come to. They do not, however, go on to attack the second wall immediately. Instead t...

Technology Order String

Is there any documentation on how the Order string works in technology.lua? I have written a wall upgrade mod which I want to appear in the tech window after stone-walls, and currently, once researched, it is appearing before. It appears in the right place in the tech tree, however. It would be hand...

Re: Friday facts #146 - The GFX workflow

Using bots to transfer filled barrels is very nice... Sure beats the alternative: Pipe Hell. Indeed! I was using the Fluid Barrel mod during my last 0.12 factory, which saved on miles of pipe as my bots could carry each type of fluid. I shall deffo be including it when I have completed my first 0.1...

Re: [MOD 0.13] Reinforced Walls

A great addition to my mod list! Thanks! Thank you :) I'm planning some improvements so keep an eye out for updates..... The first on the list will be the ability to research resistance type upgrades to beef up the wall even further. I'm also wondering whether the research cost is a bit much - I'm ...

I'm not sure you'd want that behaviour all the time - maybe if you could use CTRL+SHIFT when placing a blueprint to force remove entities other than trees and rocks???

Re: [13.4 > .5] Crash instead of restart when updating [new]

I have been experiencing this crash sometimes on updating from within the game - it has never happened when installing from a download. The game has always retarted properly when launching from the WIndows 10 Start Menu so so far I haven't reported it. If you think it would help, however, I will sav...
