It was "really far away", further than most people will bother build trains to And it was richest tile in that vein propably. Very difficult to say averages or anything by range without a ton of testing.

I'm not sure what your point is. In your examples, you're using splitters to merge two belts into one - that's where the compression happens. If you used side loading alone, there would be (small) gaps on the output belt. On the left i use splitters, and in the right it's sideloading. What you shou...

Related page is this https://wiki.factorio.com/World_generator The Perlin noise graph is either from old version, or not show that ore amount increases in some pattern the further you go from spawn. I've made a very long exploration in the map and found veins ore amount does increase. Where at spawn...

Good luck making an example where it won't compress though. Only reason i can understand is lack of iron, when it can't compress because there is no plate to put in between when it needs it. Splitters or sideloading, it's identical behavior. Top 2 have 4 inserters, making the required amount to full...

I also used to try hosting game in paused mode so friend could join faster, but we also had some form of instability of which i forgot (it was months ago, but still same version), either disconnect or freeze. Worth testing at least i think. Back then we decided it's more stable without pausing the g...

Side loading is not supposed to compress a belt at all, you should use a splitter for that. Not true, side loading is currently the preferred way to compress, like this: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/34/6d/28/346d289a41d6b242f0bfb731ad4027e9.jpg OP's picture has too few iron incomi...

Doesn't look like mod's fault though. You have 0 accumulator capacity, so if anything uses power in bursts even if it's laser turrets, it will make spikes like that.

Oh please xD Give us the update!

The same way that power poles show blue focus on affected machines when placing them down, beacons could too. Currently they only have the yellow glow on background, and at borders of machines it's sometimes hard to tell if it will reach some factory or not. Optionally also when placing any power us...

Good to know. I'll upload it to portal.

Would you test with the version i uploaded in previous page? download/file.php?id=19401
If that makes a difference i'll upload it to mod portal.

No, you don't need to disable it. The recent 1.14.21 version seemed to fix all the errors even related to mod updating.

Current start of the script is now: global.lastorientation = {} global.player_ticks = {} global.tick = 2 script.on_configuration_changed(function(data) if data.mod_changes == nil then return end if global.lastorientation == nil then global.lastorientation = {} end if global.player_ticks == nil then ...

That seems to only work when you make a new map. But when loading a map with older version of the mod it errors back to main menu. I was trying to add this aswell (based on https://wiki.factorio.com/Lua/Data_Lifecycle#global the on_load should be correct for this) to make new mod's compatibility for...

I'm getting error on line 11: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'tick' (a nil value) global.tick = global.tick - 1 They are initialized in the beginning like global.lastorientation = {} global.player_ticks = {} global.tick = 2 About those one, i would propably need to check if those are null be...

I wouldn't have known that kind of details. If i understand him correctly, you would need to change local lastorientation = {} local player_ticks = {} local tick = 2 to lastorientation = {} player_ticks = {} tick = 2 But if they are named like that as global variables, what is the scope for those va...

If a lot of people don't want to bother with an aspect of the game because they just want the sandbox build experience on a persistend day, that's a legit choice. I'm stating my point of view from a guy who like the mix of build AND survival. So do i, really like the survival aspect. But how do you...

Original issue was that nobody uses current night vision. The green screen is hard to look at, and it's better off fighting in the dark and use lamps. Devs were trying to think of something to improve it so that it becomes something more useful. See this is what it's now in live game: https://eu4.fa...

Someone asked for light?

See Adil's post on 3rd page. Modern night vision doesn't have to be green but full color: https://youtu.be/b4ZIdu1adWg?t=96

I'm just reminding that night vision is a module in power armor and you don't want to keep swapping it on and off. So while having it on it needs to feel like an improvement to vision in all areas of the game. Majority of the play is while building, so that's what it should be most optimized for. It...
