Yeah, the extra drain is only useful for extremely-low-volume flow metering, I could probably lose it if I'd just up the premuiltiplier to 1'000'000 from 1'000. I like those two because they give three digits of precision on the mouseover readout, this setup reads -75k, -150k, -225k for instance: sn...

How about adding it to the rich-text renderer, "[local-time]" renders as the current local clock?

Oh, right, most of them are indeed shared by all clients ?
AFAIK one that isn't is player cursor position ?

Notice that the mouse cursor position is *write only*. It's not shared with any client. Any effects the positioning might have are broadcast, but that's different.

Clearly there are things that differ from client to client - GUI interaction for instance. But they don't differ from client to client. Every client runs every player's GUI interactions, the only difference is which players' GUI interactions get *displayed*. I suppose they could add a per-player &q...

I use that to maintain adaptive sushi belts. I never knew it by that name, just as "exponential-decay average". I use read-pulse metering, though, since that works for any belt speed and doesn't get confused if the belt backs up. edit: here's mine, I'm not so interested in getting an exact...

For simple situations there are simpler RS latches than the wiki shows, say you want to crack excess heavy oil, you have a pump set up for say heavy > 1000 but you don't like it twitching, I get that. So add two combinators, main circuit wired to heavy > 1000 output 1 X, wired into X * 500 output he...

Does this mean signals are added together? Two signals at 1 will be read as one signal at 2? The way I have it is, the value of a signal on a wire is the sum of that signal's values on all connected output ports. Likewise, the value of a signal a device sees is the sum of that signal's values on al...

Zero value signals are not sent at all. Everything = 1 means everything that isn't zero = 1. Anything = 0 will never match. You can make both combinators send the same go-signal and fire only when your go signal is 2, or supply a second input to your current comparison, a constants box with L=1 and ...

This is probably too elliptical, but I stopped playing with biters when they started spitting acid-feces contact cement in 0.17? 0.18? somewhere in there and I did just reconstitute some old blueprints to test whether the idea still works. It does. Emplacements built from one arty, four flamethrower...

Don't know where you were looking, `/c game.print(game.player.force.technologies.automation.level)` prints `1`, for instance, and since you can't add nil to a number that loop would crap out if it ever encountered a missing level. There's this trick you can pull if you're running in a terminal, you ...

Try numtechs=0 lvlsresearched=0 for name,tech in pairs(game.forces.player.technologies) do if tech.enabled then numtechs = numtechs +1 baselevel = game.technology_prototypes[name].level lvlsresearched = lvlsresearched + tech.level - baselevel + (tech.researched and 1 or 0) end end game.player.print(...

1) What do you mean by "rococo" code? I value clarity over conciseness in code. What I mean is that the code you posted puts so much verbosity and structure into clarifying every little step that it wasn't even doing what you thougt it doing: you reported luatechnology.level not showing i...

Try writing less rococo code?

I never ran into a bug myself and I am seriously impressed how people still find these things, and kudos to the devs for fixing things that most people will never even run into!

Too bad that doesn't apply to saving lua functions in global.

Yah. Those guys are ... not scary, but what's the next word down? Right: impressive as all get out. If you want to save yourself a terminal inadequacy complex stop right not and spend your childhood playing the game rather than comparing your newbie skillz to what the literal, actual professionals c...

Oh, you sweet summer child.

My main goal is […] to get out of my 40 ups/fps trap, TODO is list is really long... Then your strategy's optimizing the wrong thing. Entities aren't what dominates UPS cost, what dominates UPS cost is inserter swings. That's not an absolute, you can get the inserter swings down to a level where ot...

I apologise if you got this feeling from my post. I just wanted to assure you that we are working hard on the expansion and can't wait to share our progress when it reaches the same level of quality you expect from us.

You can point Factorio at anything you want in the config file, which you can call out from the command line. So to completely customize your setup you can make a ~/bin/Factorio (or wherever) options-processing frontend. My standard getopts seed template is while getopts x-: opt; do case $opt in x) ...
