I recall having a similar problem.

I _think_ I re-zipped the file one a Windows PC to a .zip file so that it would be recognized by the unzip command.

What puzzles me is that I have never seen a design or blueprint for a starter base to produce them early on . Could there be something else needed that we've missed? The first modular armor is relative difficult. Yes, we already concluded that "personal/portable bots" are not viable at th...

Hi,

I feel the same way.

I took a look at the mod that fits into power armor and I think it would possible to change it to be based on a different item. It is currently based on the Night Vision item.

Perhaps the pistol?
I will put a comment in the mod discussion.

I just had this happen with today's update. That's too frustrating to deal with.

Thanks for the info, at least I know the cause.

Hi, I would like to see the blue science packs tweaked. The numbers for it just don't seem to fit correctly with the other science packs. I think the attached image explains it better than I can. ScienceFactories.png I think simply reducing the cycle time to 8 or 10 seconds (from 12) would help bala...

Hi,

As for conventions, there is a series here in the US called PAX.

I think you should attend some of those.


jon

Thanks!

I am considering it, but until the compressed belts decision is changed, I won't be working on it. Without the inserters fully compressing the belts, I would have to do a lot of re-work and would lose what efficiency there is in the layouts.

Hi,

I haven't played in a while, but this is the last save I worked on.

Hi, Rocket science is sent to the labs along the right side of the map and grid. Out of the launching area, there is a belt that goes a bit left, then up for a couple grids, then goes all the way to the right and up to the science area. In the research grid, there is a belt along the right side that...

Thanks!

I am hoping with 0.16 the belts will be more optimized and the base will be better.

I may also create a bot version of this - e.g. migrate this to bots.

Hi, A while ago, I shared my Roboport Grid Layout and here is an updated version for 0.15. The basic idea is a series of grids that are 48x48 tiles with a 2 tile 'walkway' in between. This sizing allows for complete roboport coverage. The exception is the center 'main bus' which is 58 high x 48 wide...

I would love to set the filters on the cargo wagon from a blueprint. Currently, when I move to a new save, I have to create a screenshot of my specialty trains (solar, combat, outpost), then manually put these filters into the new wagon. I only do this once per map, so it isn't something I paste rep...

Hi,

Have you made any progress on your update?

I plan to install a server over the upcoming holiday weekend (US).

thanks,

Hi,

Are the two new arrow floors supposed to have walking speeds of 170% & 165% or should they be 175% & 180%?
They are more expensive in terms of iron.


thanks,

Hi,

A quick comment about the blueprint based gameplay - I think random is an essential part of Factorio.

jon

Hi, I would like to have an easy way to force a clicked item into the character's trash slot. Currently, when an item in inventory is Shift-Left-clicked, it may go to the tool belt or it may go to the trash slot, depending on the item type. When I want to trash something that would normally go to th...

Hi,

With the addition of Shift-R to rotate in the reverse direction from R, if we could press Ctrl-R to reverse the item, only one press would be needed for all rotations.

thanks,
jon

Hi!

that is fantastic!

The arrows look great - I use 2x2, so it fits perfectly.

How does it align with your colored concrete along the edge? Is it smooth / distinct?

thanks,
jon

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply!

No hurry - I have a large base to re-floor. Yes, I would like smooth edges. I will try the alien metal tile.

I saw the arrow gate with the hazard edges - it didn't look great either, I agree.

I am looking forward to trying out what you come up with.

jon

Hi, I use your mod quite a bit and want to point out a little issue with the blending on the edges. I'm using a "walking path" between grids on my base with the change to "Arrow Gate" edges and backgrounds, things don't look quite right. This is a screenshot of things I am workin...
