It was mentioned even in the first "linux sever" thread.
I am not sure about any concrete public anoucements, though.

Map storage servers are still a good idea. It's just "game servers" that make little sense.

Great idea, thanks.

It looks truly awesome, I like both the chosen style of the logic machines and the inner works.

Aren't the shadows on the screenshots odd?

My take on wiring mess:
What about some kind of a short "one-wire stand" pole for organizing free-lying CCnet cabling?

I'd say anything that requires more than 5-10 elements to be connected together is already too complex for mass usage and makes me ask myself "Can't this be done in any easier way?" . I hope that will be possible to do as a mod. For me it seems perfect as it is. I hate stuff where either ...

I would have to say that an EPIC new trailer should be made for the steam release . Why? Because they do so in the AAA industry? Maybe it would be better to be honest, not going too far from what players could really achieve in the game. I haven't thought this through. An up-to-date trailer would b...

It appears I started something here... The current circuit network can do binary logic. Basically the existence of an item means 1, the lack of an item means 0. Now I don't want to spoil Friday facts by telling you all the details, but the new "combinators" can be combined in many differe...

@kovarex
How did you deal with accumulators that reside in more networks at once?
Do you "merge" only those in the same networks & same charge?
Or do you simply ignore them for generally not being worth it?

Thanks for the report, that could be a nasty surprise if a gate gets destroyed and then auto-replaced. EDIT: Now I see it was moved to "Duplicates". I guess it's known to the moderators then. What happens if you set the train to automatic and tell it to go somewhere? Will it break the gate...

IMHO Basically - you usually don't want to want to split lanes. Seriously, try to plan your factory without doing a full lane split. Note that the underground belts are used as "lane blockers", which can be used separately to extract one lane from a belt. Using that instead of doing the fu...

I disagree. This thread is a good idea. RSS readers are usually built NOT to forget items that disappear. That's a good thing, because the factorio RSS feeds can provide only limited amount of items.

thanks for the link

The functionality is allright.

The thing I'm worried about is the representation of such train signal.
Having trains pass red light is just as odd as stopping on a green one.
Also I expect trouble figuring out which exit=regular signal is responsible for the train stopping.

So the only difference is that these chain signals will chain only to the exit the train wants whereas openTTD's pre-signals let the train go through the first available green exit? Probably yes, and some other smaller differences. So, I'll easily get a situation, where one train is allowed to pass...

1. It matters little what happens inside a spawner, the laws of thermodynamics still apply. It's a black box equation that does something impossible. You missed what DaveMcW was trying to say.

Yeah,
turn your story into a proper suggestion / bug report
and get a meaningful title saying what's this all about.

words that might help you:
Game does not save / ask for saving when its window is closed. Via X in its corner, I mean.

Hint: Your device still might have a key labeled "home" (usually round PgUp, PgDown, Delete..)
That key will return you to the top of the page, where the path thingy is.

Opening posts in a new tab and then closing the tab to "return" also works.
