Appreciate you.

I hate spamming the log file, but I need to know what's going on in a clear way as my mods explore through other people's mod data and try to hook into and adjust them. I would greatly appreciate the availability of an output file during data stage. It would also be easier to search.

Yes, can't you print to terminal (or is it stdout ?) while the game is starting up ? I believe you are correct. print() prints to stdout, whereas log() prints to log (which also prints to stdout in the sense that the factorio logging is printed to stdout by default). I am disappointed to find out t...

I'm officially back and working on clearing out the bug reports on my mods. I got all my mods loaded up into my personal gitlab server and updated my workflows so I think this should go swimmingly. (Heh.) Now is the time to remind me of things if I forget them! Thanks for the suggestion. I'll consid...

Thanks for the report, fixed for the next version.

Cheers! Sorry I forgot to come back to give a screenshot. This report happened right before I moved about 1000 kilometers.

1&2: Aight. Sad to see it go, because like I said it was pretty much the only viable way to use it as taxi, but I hope the part you're working on will be even better. There's no reason I'm aware of not to use the Helicopters mod from Kumpu. It still has the remote control that you're used to. I...

The tiles in the base game are absorbing pollution, which is also what the variable says, "pollution absorption per second".

OK, thanks, Klonan. Just an FYI, it looks like the wiki is wrong, then. So maybe not a "bug" but definitely something you all should be aware of.

You can't do that if all of the operations depend on the results of the previous one. Such a program can only be run sequentially. Parallelization has little to do with time. Factorio is just a "program" on a loop. The "program" runs every 16.6ms (for 60fps) and must complete al...

Consider the following: there's two inserters which can grab items from the same position of a belt in that timestep. But only one can grab them. You need to have a well-defined order for them, or in one case inserter 1 will be quicker, in another the other - and for instance in one case you build ...

1. By removal of the auto-pilot, do you actually mean completely? So there's no camera+helipad window to click on when you enter your helicopter? I ask because it was pretty much the safest & fastest & non-boring (and only) way to use that thing. (Especially in crowded factories or close to...

My understanding is that the *only* things that can't always be done in parallel are things that have to be matched in the time coordinate. That's essentially the same as saying "all of those things that have to be completed before the next tick". You forgot dependencies. If calculation B...

I see someone moved this to "not a bug", but according to the words on the wiki and/or the values in the code, it is in fact doing the opposite of what you expected, right? Could someone at least respond to explain which one is correct while moving it to "not a bug"? I have tiles...

Hey All, I noticed that there is a value for tiles to produce/consume pollution that is now mandatory. Wanted to check that these are in fact the correct values, because it seemed kind of weird that water, grass, dirt, and so on would be *producing* pollution. I see here on the wiki: pollution_absor...

Clusterio is awesome and much more on topic but pretty much the opposite of what I asked for (minimize the resources needed to run the exact same simulation over multiple instances running on the same computer). I'm sure it's been beat to death, but I'll throw in my thoughts. My understanding is th...

Speaking of which, any way to have multiple Factorio instances share as much "stuff" as possible ? (I'm especially thinking of atlases in VRAM, anything else ?) Has clusterio been mentioned, already? We run a cluster of factorio servers, so we're taking advantage of parallel processing th...

I played around a lot with temperatures while making my physics mod. My ultimate conclusion is that, as things are, the *only* real dependency for temperature is the "max temp" value of the consumer (most of the time energy, but there's also the case of using steam to make things, where c...

I would normally not double-post, but the above was already a monster. I'm not sure what went wrong when you tried it, but the electric energy source works fine as far as I can tell. I've pushed a 1x1 5MW "Electric Heater" into ANE 0.0.2, if you want to verify and/or use any of my prototy...

it's just weird and bothering me that energy_source={type="electric",usage_priority="secondary-input"} doesn't work. I know exactly what you mean. That said, this has led me down an interesting path of reading [...] If starting from "ground zero", I would probably prop...
