Re: Move items from one stack to another with the scroll wheel.

It's been a while since the topic was made, but i was just instinctively trying if i could use mousewheel for that today like i do in Minecraft. But sadly it's not in Factorio, yet anyway. So simply put; when any container inventory is open (including a turret UI) and you mouseover an item stack, yo...

Re: Friday Facts #200 - Plans for 0.16

A longer-term solution will be to allow building noise functions from Lua code, which will have the side-effect of making the system hackable by modders. I'm not sure how efficient Factorio's LUA interpreter is, but map generation is one of those things that need the most out of cpu performance. I ...

Re: [MOD 0.15] VehicleSnap

It was a little delicate subject, in the end i thought reverse is so slow and rarely used that it wouldn't benefit much of snapping. Did you test if tanks reach reverse speed of -0.1? If the number is put too low, one old bug would resurface... That was a tricky one too, that vehicle gets stuck on a...

Re: [Mod 0.15] Power Armor MK3

The research costs of Personal Defense Damage don't seem to grow linearly. The tech ranks 4 and 5 seem inconsistent. Tech 3 needs yellow science but rank 4 doesn't and rank 5 costs less than rank 3.

Yes, press F5 ingame to see details. How many ms each thing does.

edit: Nvm you already showed screen with that. Still, you answered your own question. Doesn't go more detailed than "Entity update 16ms".

Re: [15.11] Mapzoom Bug

The next version sounds like fixing the problem. But it's not nearly as bad as you make it out to be, about 30% less shown though. This is from map:

edit: 0.15.12 came, and roughly 5.1 chunks show horizontally.

Re: [15.11] Mapzoom Bug

I like it the way it is in 0.15.11. Zoom level for map camera view is roughly same as max zoomed out player, and map view on the closest zoom is showing so big pixels there is no missing any details. From what i gather, people here want the player camera to start showing when zoomed even closer? How...

[0.15.11] Randomly multiline itemname in tooltips

I don't see consistency in why some items names show in 2 lines and some just 1. I went through the Factorio localization file and i don't see any special characters in place of spaces either. "Copper cable" is not the longest name there is, and it divides to 2 lines. Its tooltip is well w...

Re: [MOD 0.15] Ore and plate compress

These are current ratios: Compressed coal burning loss is 20% (from 160MJ down to 128). Compressed ores smelting loss is 20% with 4x speed. Compressed steel smelting loss 12.5% with 2x speed. In any case these are easy to change in recipe.lua files. To bring steel smelting 1:1 in line with vanilla g...

Re: [MOD 0.15] Ore and plate compress

I would download this in a heartbeat if you did to ore what you do to coal. Make it smeltable as a compressed block but with some loss. For example having a compressed (20 ore) block go in to a furnace, take maybe 4x as long as a normal smelt, and outputting maybe 15 plates. Same for iron to steel....

Re: [MOD 0.15] Ore and plate compress

I'm sorry too, hadn't taken it into account ;) Now in 0.15.5 for PlateCompress it is. Should see it cost 4 compressed iron for 82 seconds it was i think. I matched how expensive recipe was done in main Factorio and it's normal to double the smelting time aswell as cost. Seemed that iron and copper s...

Re: [MOD 0.15] Ore and plate compress

You need 2 compressed iron plates to smelt it, if it wasn't working you would get error message simply trying to put it in smelting slot. And yes those versions are right. It makes 7 steel out of it, so overall you lose 1/8th iron but it's twice faster than regular steel smelting process.

Re: [MOD 0.15] Ore and plate compress

Or if we want steel to be made faster with loss, i can make it smelt 2 compressed iron for 7 steel plates (loss 1 steel plate or 12.5%). Time would be half the original so 35 sec. I think i'll go with this. I got migration file working too so release is soon.

And they are uploaded.

Re: [MOD 0.15] Ore and plate compress

I like the idea. I'm making smelting recipes at the moment and considering the balance. Steel smelts in 17.5 seconds, so 4x that would become 70 seconds which is a small eternity :) Iron, copper, stone base cost is 3.5 sec. 20% loss on base resources is a very heavy price, and for that i don't want ...

Re: Tank rebalancing

If you have a MK2 armor in a tank, you don't need to waste module space on shields or exoskeletons because the tank itself is your protection. Instead you can fit in more of the personal laser turrets which are now very powerful. Add a swarm of destroyer bot and construction bots to repair the tank ...
