I don't know that "signals on the right" mean the devs cared or expected either handedness for two trains running opposite directions. Just means they had to make a choice where to put the signals - for all I know, they flipped a coin. One of the first train tutorials I found suggested &qu...

Just using Workshop wouldn't allow people using the direct-downloaded version to access the mods. my experience with the steam workshop is better than reinventing the wheel as they do now. You're missing the key point: the Steam Workshop would require a Steam install of the game, and they sell the ...

Well, there is one leeeeeeetle thing that might cause people to compare them to modern diesel locomotives:

I am using Steam to play. I can not find the MODS folder. Can you help me with putting the blueprint string on my pc? 8-) OS? If you're using win7, I can tell you were it is on my computer: c:\Users\silver\AppData\Roaming\Factorio\mods "silver" would obviously be different for you AppData...

two-way tracks need to have their signals "paired" on either side of the track. one-way tracks just need signals on the right, so obviously nothing to pair with so no issue. paired in this case means *exactly* opposite. when a signal (of either type) is placed, it makes a line across the t...

My biggest gripe with Git is Github: it seems that either there is no way, or no one seems to have figured out the way, to make it download zips with the right names - it likes to assert its own format for filenames, so when I get a mod from Github, I always have to rename it to the way Factorio lik...

They still have 4 hours of Friday left in Prague

Actually all major organizations like Wube usually have a weekly update. I was comparing them other game companies releasing news about future releases. Like Blizzard who just says "we're working on X. It'll be done when it's done" or Valve who doesn't even tell you what they're working on.

cool, I'm apparently authorized to repair transport belts now.

That portal is pretty sweeeeeet, but all I have is a forum login, not a factorio.com login. I assume because I got the steam version.

Wow. You have a real problem if you think weekly updates are too rare. And you've apparently never dealt with any other companies.

I guess inserters produce so little pollution that the game just says 0? I mean, if you load this save ( http://silverchat.com/~silver/factorio/3-101.zip ), you'll find 3 actual sources of pollution. One way to the NW in the oil field, a bunch of pollution around the pumps that flickers on and off a...

No, I don't think, because you can do that with pictures from the forum, too. Or by downloading someone's save game. Why penalize the sharing of combinator tricks and railway interchanges and the like because someone *might* "cheat" the achievements. People who really want to cheat the ach...

...which hopefully means they'll start considering quality-of-life enhancements like colored concrete, blueprint string, upgrade planner, and nixie tubes instead of just saying "there's a mod for that" since some people will rightfully object to using mods on the basis of mods taking them ...

Except not everything pollutes always. Maybe I have a buggy version, but my pollution goes to literally 0 when my base is idle. Except for the pumps.

Well, since their release strategy appears to be "even numbers are testing, odd numbers are stable" the only thing you'd expect from 12.35 is completion of 12.34 ... and I guess that was the only bug they found in 12.34. In an ideal world, 12.35 would have released with *no* changes, becau...

So I went to the control panel and said "you know what, I need 200 more of each type of Module-3, 1500 more blue belt, 200 more destroyer capsules, 2000 more steel barrels, 2000 more solar panels and 2000 more accumulators, oh, and constantly pump new bots into the logistics network, and I'm al...

Literally *every* thing else in your base ceases polluting when idle. Except pumps. They always pollute, even when not doing anything. And I know the game knows they aren't doing anything, because they stop animating when they're idle. Exceptions are bad for teaching and intuition - though sometimes...

Maybe this mod? viewtopic.php?f=94&t=7887

With follower Count 20, don't you get 143? 134. Though really you maximally deploy 130 because otherwise you'd waste a bot (since a capsule deploys 5). You usually only get above 130 if you're replacing losses (i.e. once you've lost one to 129, a new capsule won't be waste anymore), but I'm usually...
