Maybe the biggest issue for tank in late game is its survivability. This big bulk of metal breaks easier than just player wearing power armor. It all comes down to lack of shields, i really think the vehicle grid would help a lot . I don't want more tank armor, i need hp that doesn't need bots to ...

What is going to happen to existing 0.16 maps during the upgrade? Will these keep using the old noise function after upgrade, and generate new chunks which match the old ones, or will there be sudden transitions like we've seen in the past?



There will be sudden transitions like in the past ...

I'm not sure what all details about personal roboport toggle of 0.17 are out yet, but i assume it means that a disabled roboport will still remain powered and accepting incoming bots. But it wouldn't let anything out.

I'm sure you are all familiar with this error:
overwrite_bp_book.jpg
But lets be honest, it shouldn't happen in the first place if we want UI to work in our favor. It should ask: "Do you want to overwrite old "Insert name of the blueprint or book here..."?

I have 2 books for rails in my library ...

There's a "Notifications" link under "Logout" at top right.

Not if you play with LTN at least. And it's too much hassle to be required for majority of wagons.

I'll propably still keep using aircraft mod so this may be less relevant. But if i use a train dealing with copper ore and temporarily tell it to take me to iron smelting station, what's going to happen? It will unload the ore? Filter inserters would sort that one, but if it's a loading station you ...

I'll just post my dream quickbar:
factorio_quickbar.jpg
Basically just removing all extra that gets in the way. Swapping actionbar rows was never my thing, even if i have 4 rows from bob's.

Also there is an inconvinience in current actionbar and inventory, where if you put cursor in the middle of ...

You're still not convinving on why the old system is better. The cpu cost you need to think from multiple perspectives, the else condition added to single combinator is trivial/nonexistent compared to all processing that goes on the complexity of another combinator entity. One with circuit ...

You think combinators with "else" would be more UPS friendly? Doubt it.
You think they would be more user friendly? Definitely not.
It's not a doubt but a fact. 1 combinator makes less cpu cycles than 2.

No comments on the code example? The sum version is how you prefer to do all your programming ...

Code A:
if A >= B then
return A
else
return B
end
VS
Code B:
return (A>=B?A:0)+(B>A?B:0)
Not only is the above version simpler to understand it's also faster, and i think summarizes this topic 100%. I rest my case and wait for someone to actually put some thought in his reply... Every single ...

Can you show us what you want it for?
I don't have any immediate uses, but i might later. You can propably even simplify SR-latch with it. It's because the current implementation in circuit system is so many layered that i am not bothering with circuits as much as i'd like to. Anything that makes ...

No it's not.

A >= B => A
A < B => B
with 2 combinators.
That's exactly the same example i wrote. It's a matter of perspective. 2 inputs is a simple example, but if you have 200 of them the matter of 400 vs 200 combinator makes a significant difference. It's not just that but this simple "if - then - else" is ...

In programming there is a simple structure; If - Then - Else. There are numerous potential applications for this, but if i were to do that simple thing with current combinators i'd be in for a bit of trouble.

Example: Signals A=10 and B=20, output higher value
Signal first goes to 2 decider ...

The satellite is unlocked with the Space science pack technology and its only purpose is obtaining these science packs.
How does that work? Something like you get say 500 space science packs for launching without satellite, but 1000 with satellite? Because you need them to research the satellite ...

You could try https://mods.factorio.com/mod/compressor as it allows to compress all modded resources along with all other items as well. I have to admit i use it myself in some modded playthroughs If you have gamechanging mods like bobs/angels it is more logical choice now.

Have you portforwarded 34197 in router?

Counting on my app based factorio launcher i have 17 different modpacks, each with unique set of mods for varying versions of Factorio. I know i could trim that down to just 4 maybe, but anyway main Factorio doesn't have a quick way to swap a large set of mods with a single click of a button. One of ...
