I'm just wondering how I could use the flooding dynamic to my advantage, I want a water source at X put a dam through a lake flood a huge area place pump remove dam and flood zone instant awesome Or how it might be used for trolling put dam across ocean flood entire map strand other players in place...

01 mov a, max //move max to register a 02 mov b, current //move current to register b 03 gt b, a //compare register a and b 04 jgt 06 //if compare flag is true (max>current) skip next line 05 mov max, current //set max as current 06 .... Something like this? :p doesn't clear though send the data to...

No but being able to identify the cause of pollution isn't that simple say you have an ore patch that's now completely mined out and your base's Boolean cloud looks like a peanut by being able to see the gradient you can better predict where that removal of the mine reduces the pollution cloud you n...

You need to store the value of the maximum pollution vs current pollution which is probably going to be an int>255 or a float, 2 bytes not boolean If current > max Max = current End if 3 lines of code It's no good to just say if a chunk has been polluted cause if you drive through a chunk or similar...

Not one bit probably 2 bytes per chunk but it adds 3 lines of code to each chunk per tick, I'm not sure how that fits in the optimization

If that's your attitude Optera; Simple Solution: use separate trains for each liquid. No need to change current behaviour at all.

This has gotten to long to quote and since the devs aren't interested in fixing this anyway it's a bit of a waste of time. So just some final comments. I agree this has gone on quite long enough. You think I'm wrong, I think this idea will prevent me playing the game at my current stages because it...

and factorio doesn't have elevation so how would you determine where the rivers flow?

like I say I got super lucky, my bots handled it a few seconds after the screenshot, I'm sure it's not a bug

I haven't read whole thread, just first three posts. There are lists for construction, deconstruction and repair and out of network variants of these lists. If there is more than 270 unassigned jobs total (which should take 1.5 second to scan trough normally), personal roboport starts searching its...

Yeah I didn't raise the details of the other thread because this idea is bad but to point out that the way in which you think it works doesn't match reality Inside[0].dispatch() Flag = Inside[0].flag //say 0 for dispatched, 1 for waiting on item and/or bot, 2 for not in roboport temp=Inside[0].pop()...

This is a common misconception due to how it appears being completely separate from how it's coded, scanning the personal roboport area is not only inefficient it'd cause lag cause the surface scanning algorithm isn't designed or optimized for repeated running on large areas. I'll repeat from the fi...

My understanding from what mods said in this thread https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=49429 is that there's only one list for everything and it does one check of one item per tick. The 600 items is actually a side effect of the last 600 (ten seconds worth) items that were attempted...

I know picking up the stone can be a pain but popping it down can be done fairly quickly. That demonstration took about 2 minutes to set up including running to get the stone. (Although I admit it's something I had smelted) you don't need solid lines either placing a dotted line for provisional area...

I'd like to point out this is still doable in game as it is right now and with a little more patience a whole lot more versatile than just lines and boxes (from about as soon as you have smelting set up for stone)


Edit I can't spell Circuits, I hate my dyslexia. Oh well not changing it now.

I assume he means oil but he might be talking about coal liquefaction.

So you're saying before you can have turrets up and running (cause you'd just about have electric set up at this point I'd guess) you could handle a constant stream of biter attacks on normal ore and water settings and the most extreme biter and pollution spread settings? I don't believe it but I'd...

There are already map markers in the game just click on map mode some additional features like connecting with lines might be useful but if you're doing that sort of planning arguably using an external image editor, using stone for outlines and map markers for labelling and/or blueprints would do th...
