I do not think it is an issue with the farms specifically, but with the trees themselves. I have lined the walls of my base with trees and now I cannot zoom out for a full base view without bringing the game to a near halt. If no treefarm trees, or even just a few(one farm worth was fine) are in vi...

As to the power problem:

cookie clicker i hated but not going to use that idea lol the iron will then be able to make more chests for copper, coal and stone and that is how you are going to progress through the game :) Umm yeah, sorry to say, but that is kinda how cookie clicker works. You start off with a very small suppl...

I am not sure what you are trying to do. Switching off ore generation ok, but how do you progress then? Could you give a bit more info what it is you want to do? :p My only thought would be that he wants to try and make a Factorio variation of Cookie Clicker. Frankly I don't know whether that would...

I would strongly recommend changing the .rar to a .zip, since thats what the game prefers. Makes it so that players can just download and drop it into the mods folder.

Just had a scary thought. What if he got rid of stone fields and made it so that every ore field gave out itself and stone?

+1 I like this idea!

Thinking about this further... I think the end product growth would be better to be exonential instead of linear 2× 3× and 4×. Maybe using tier 1 ore processing would yield 50% more products, tier 1 and 2 combined would yield 150% more products and tierl 1, 2 and 3 would yield 300% of more stuff. T...

I tried that. Looked at a couple different files. Was all just a bunch of code mumbo jumbo to me.
What I need is something a lot more specific than that. Thanks for trying though.

I place them often as narrow as possible, to clean the fields as fast as possible.

I agree here. Others sound good, but leave miners out of it. Thank you.

Is there a way to preset the buttons? I get a little annoyed by having to reset the buttons any time I start a new map.

I like it!

Aside from those points, there's currently no way to preserve the oil percentage when they're picked up. I literally can't do it without a huge hack method that won't work well even in the best of times. Would it be possible to have the 'oil mover' generate a unique item in the chest per every % in...

One mod that I know of has bridges, but they are an experimental feature at the moment. RoadWorks
However, what I think you'll find much more helpful is this one. Landfill
Hope you got plenty of stone.

Something tells me that if you lunatics manage to 'win' the game, you should do another where you guys CAN watch the previous video, but maybe ONLY the previous video, just to keep it a little interesting.

Yes!

Could this be possible somehow? I only ask because my custom scenario, Hole In The Wall - Fight Through A Squall, has a rather large file size enough though only a relatively small part of the map has been altered. Anyone have thoughts on this?

in 10.8 there is an "error while loading enitiy prototype "beltswitcher" (transport-belt): No such node (belt_horizontal)" I was able to resolve this by copying a couple of tags from the definition of the normal express belt : entities.lua: ~ snip ~ Hey AartBluestroke, think you...
