Mod author & folks: How suitable would this mod be for implementing cargo ships? Would it be better/easier to use its own control logic & stuff?

What about using AAI's programmable vehicles framework & what-not to make automated ships? I would loooooooooove to play an ocean game where you had to use cargo ships (freighters & tankers) to ship stuff across oceans ^_^. Or, even use a variety of railroad? Like, a "shipping lane"...

Hi all!

Could someone (pretty please ) make a mod that changes the map generation so that it makes true continents, oceans, islands, archipelagos, oceans, etc?

@aaargha It's a good hack since it works :) I might add it to RSO if there are more people interested in out of the box compatibilty. @swni Chunk generation gets a bit more complex because it's async. Steps I planned were: 1. Generate the ore patch and store it's layout (quite a big table sadly but...

Thanks m8!

Anyone? :/

Is it possible to mod the terrain/world generation engine so that it produces true continents, Islands, & Oceans? I've got an idea for a ships mod, but if the maps is just giant lakes, is it really worth it?

Rats. I always post things on Sunday evening .

Is it possible to change how the map/land itself is generated? I'm curious if it'd be possible to write a mod that allows players to set up true oceans, continents, & islands.

If you mean left and right clicking entities to remove or add them, yeah that's been around for sometime. If you mean removing all entites by click their summary at the top, no that's new since 0.15. If you mean adding entirely new entites after the blueprint has been created... wtf? That's possibl...

I've played >700 hours in Factorio.


And just discovered yesterday that I can add new entities in the "edit blueprint" mode.

Thank you, m8, for this great mod.

Did the belt optimizations and multi-thread improvements make it into .15?

I do have a small question about the biter behaviors: So, periodically, some of the aliens will zoom at incredibly fast speeds towards their destination. This has lead to a few.... interesting.... experiences . Is this something that's intended? Is it other mods interacting with Rampant?

I do it by hand. I also use an obscure old piece of software called Paint shop pro, so, if I described exactly, features I use might not exist in your program. Basically... I find out what the minimum size the sprite needs to be so the entire thing fits in an un-moving rectangle, then that's my siz...

Hey Bob, I've got a question regarding upgrading inserters. I've got tons of the various inserter configurations, and I want to upgrade my fast inserters to express inserters. Is there an easy way to upgrade them in a way that keeps their pick-up/drop-off points? Use upgrade planner mod and SHIFT-D...

Awesome, thanks Angel!

So, icons themselves are 32x32 pixels. What about for group icons? Are those also 32x32?

Is it based on the damage upgrade research, or the turret tier? I'm using Bob's & the beam color didn't change when I upgraded the damage, but it has changed for each tier of turrets.
