We almost have walls....

Hooray!
Enjoy your well earned rest you'll sure now take

Actually, bringing creepers into a shooting line is rather easy even without walls or force fields. Build conveyor belts for them ! They would return the favour :) That explains why the pathfinding could take that long (so the fps is so drastically affected even with a help from an "optimizatio...

I noticed a underground_belt -> belt connection glitch. It might be useful in some tight spaces (doesn't need extra belt on the right for moving goods to edge) Spacing is unimportant. orib.jpg 1. build belts 2. underground input (top) 3. underground output (bottom) 4. 2nd underground input (middle) ...

Try placing an underground belt next to a pump in all orientations to see it

I am not really sure which part of the oddity, if any, is a bug.

Oh, that would be indeed important to fix.
Also it deserves a separate thread.

Do you have trouble opening the "choose research dialogue"?

It's done by T.
The icon of the product in the Lab's "product" window maybe should bring up that dialogue as well..

Hmm.. I might be able to use the "entering a car" teleportation. That would require building two cars, putting one on the island where the water line is thinnest, get on it, move, get off. And the other car to (hopefully) get back. But I don't think I am willing to risk getting trapped (ev...

Hmm.. I have never though about such well-planned & perfect approach.

Maybe because that would prevent me from easy upgrading on the factory. (Just everything would be a bottleneck)

The logic would be, that the pole would connect to every neighbour, and not only connect 2 neighbours that are too near (2-3 nodes far). And having three toggles that control autoplacing of each type of wire? Somewhere. Not sure about this one, it might add another complexity to controls for everyo...

Have same problem with steel bars. in 0.2.9 my factory from 0.2.8 save reject to smelt steel plates to steel bars. I resaved this game in 0.2.9 after I came back to 0.2.8 but it looks like Factorio saves has't backward Compatibility. Now I'm getting error when I'm trying to load game save from 0.2....

Just a small note. Are you guys aware of the fact, that you can use copper wire, and connect electric poles manually? Oh my.. I feel stupid for not checking. I can't check right now.. DRI/LibGL trouble... Will I get the wires back, or they get lost? What do you think about not putting the wires int...

Update: Linux version works on Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring" just as it did on 12.11 "Quantal". I played once so far. it seems to periodically micro-freeze, but that can have many possible reasons. The shutdown crash did not occur. Tried playing today... and reproduced the startup crash....

Please move to the appropriate section so it does not clutter here.

But then again, having the option doesn't hurt.

True, thanks for catching that obvious error.
Obviously, I have no circuit network experience.

Any suggestion where in the GUI should that option be and how it could look like?

Sorry for that, we made mistake by making release at 3 am with too many features finished the same day as well as solving payapal issues. There were several easy to fix bugs we just didn't have time to solve. I believe that we already fixed those bugs, but we will do some testing tomorrow and proba...

Maybe it was a coincidence, but my observation revealed that the Radar makes them come more frequently. (Really.. a guess, I removed it after a while)

good idea, creepers only attack normal buildings when they don't have any other easy path, so would be possible to block off the bulk of your base with solid light walls and have maybe 4 openings which are completely packed with laser defence!!! Or when their patchfinding was done before the partic...

I probably don't understand how exactly should "C" be used.
I actually tried the "infinite-range mad man pickaxe attack" thing.
It never worked for me. Can you please brief me on the use? (perhaps to a PM, since it's off topic)

Or is that actually the file for 0.2.9?

Anyone else have this problem?

Edit: 0.2.9 is further down on the page.

There are very good reasons for that.
Beware!
