So, oil burners is not more ecological? It's more of opening up options to the player. don't forget that I also wrote into the game emissions multipliers. different fuels will pollute more than others. If you burn Hydrogen for example, it produces very little pollution. Burning hydrogen? Don’t you ...

Ah! Someone inspired by Nilaus' own Angel/Bob base series?

So I gather that the Tech that needs to be researched for the bigger Quickbar got nuked too?

As the smelting recipe change, I am proposing the following: - Iron plate, copper plate, stone brick: 3.2 - Steel: 16 That would mean exactly 48 stone furnaces per yellow belt, which is the number that people already build, but some of the last ones flicker with inactivity in 0.16, now all of them ...

Decision to remove pickaxe was done before new game view GUI was designed, and new game view GUI design doesn't have pickaxe slot. So that's why we can't just hide it - we would have to put it somewhere first, and then hide it.

So years ago if I get it right?

It would be great if you just set everything in the base game to 100% efficiency, and omitted the info from the tooltip if it's 100%. So anyone playing vanilla would not see the info at all, but if a mod adds something with, say, 70% efficiency, or 120% efficiency, it would show up as part of the t...

The save file is more than a quarter decoratives? Most games don't even save those, just re-generate them on load, or when you re-enter an unloaded area. I don't see why you can't do the same. Is there any reason these need to remain perfectly in sync? My biggest save is less than 40 MiB on disk (g...

Uh oh. Guys? Factorio planet already has an in-game file. It was found by modders who looked at the game code. The planet is called Nauvis which literally means 'New'.

It seems a bit odd to then meet the criticism with being defensive ("Well, if we can't change anything any more we could just ship it now") I was specificaly responding to Ferlonas saying (I am paraphrazing) "Bob and Angel will have to modify their mods because of your change, so it'...

Thanks, guys, and gals for all the fun I had while it lasted! I am moving over to Satisfactory once it comes out.

Those changes proposed in the FFF seem like they either will require the game engine to be effectively forked/code butchery by modders/mod butchery There's a simple answer to that: mods can't do that. So they're forced to just not use pickaxes in any way because they no longer exist in the game eng...

@bilka Will you preserve all these internal mechanics you are removing in the base code for modders to use? E.g. the pickaxe slot and pickaxes in general and mining efficiency? Those are core part of Bob's and Angel's mods. As the FFF states [W]e completely removed mining tools from the game. [...]...

There is a very easy solution: Make special Loading and Unloading structures specifically for train wagons (like in Real Life) that can only use Belt Loader/Unloader to get stuff in or out of wagons and disable the ability of inserters to pull things directly out of wagons. Done! Yeah, but this req...

I am surprised Xterminator or Nilaus haven't made a comment yet. I would have expected them to squeal from joy and go all dreamy with this update.

Pictures in your OP got corrupted when the server transferred to the newer Forum OS.

Also. How is this system going to react to someone making a super long pipe across the map from an oil field and putting ten pumps at intervals into the pipeline? Would the entry into and exit out of a pump count as a junction? So as long as you don’t do crazy stuff like making pipe grids and keep y...
