So, is there a bug or not? Can you attach some screenshots showing the problem? There is a bug, yes, which is exactly as I've described. It will be easily seen if someone uses those two mods, or any other mod that has a fluid-powered entity with an effectivity setting, since that efficiency won't b...

The different energy source is likely still relevant, however; the tooltip might not be implemented for fluid consumers.

I suspect this is what is causing the bug, yes.

Well, I might mention that the `energy_source` for the vanilla entity `boiler` is `type="burner"` and has `effectivity=1` in its definition, while the `gas-boiler` from the first linked mod uses `type="fluid"` and doesn't specify `effectivity` . The efficiencies will be applied ...

Sorry took me so long to respond; I just realized this conversation was going on. Thanks for the interest, guys. I'm touched! A couple of thoughts, yes. First off, so awesome that you started an extension mod, and I'll support it however I can. I'm pleased you mentioned in particular liking that th...

When one mouses over the gas-fired boiler entity from my gas-boiler mod, or, I assume, any other fluid-powered boiler, the tooltip includes the correct efficiency and the efficiency-based total power usage of the entity. Same with the vanilla boiler, fuel-powered. In the crafting menu, the vanilla b...

The end goal of Factorio is landing an engineering job.

(Non-constant) Combinators obviously have input and output - while the power switch has 2 sides without any preferences. In both cases, it seems like the minimum size for using them while keeping the "targeting" easy is 1x2. OK, now I think I've got what you mean. Come to think of it, I k...

Sorry, I'm not making a mod. Factorio masses are definitely way off what's realistic, but we're also carrying around 10 nuclear reactors in the same pocket space we're holding 200 gun magazines. For the "realism" factor again, you could divide power requirements in factorio by 100 and it'...

You're going to hate my new quarter-sized combinators, then. Yes, that sounds horrible. I'd like to see a 3x3 or 2x2 combinator "box" which pops open to reveal a Factorissimo-style space where you lay out regular-sized combinators. Hmm. I WAS just kidding, Deadlock, but I could actually s...

Further, uranium in real life is even more stupidly efficient than Factorio's. Even a few percent enriched fuel (not sure the kg, but not a lot) can last reactors over a year for hundreds of megawatts. It'd be more interesting to have to process the nuclear fuel into a slurry, and pipe the slurry i...

Yes. Yes, I do. Severe astigmatism and near-sightedness.

You're going to hate my new quarter-sized combinators, then.

The endgame is persistent clusterio servers with biters on.

OK, so, I haven't strongly tested this, but I did setup a similar resource prototype, and based on the prototype values that an oil-like resource uses, I THINK the way it works is as follows. If anyone can tell me where I'm wrong, please do. The map displays a percentage, but a percentage of what? T...

Guys, they have to test on hardware approaching what the buyers of the game will have... if you start talking about "blades", aren't you going into very specific server hardware ? Personally, I think you're right. You can buy blades that have similar hardware to gamer hardware, but it's n...

To be clear, are you saying that the turbine simply shuts down when you tried to put steam above 1000C into it? Because I think that's expected. The prototype definition for the generator (the type of which the turbine is) includes a value for "maximum_temperature", but it doesn't explain...

I don't have time this second to digest and respond to everything you've said, so I will come back to it. I just wanted to point out quickly that you may not be as confused as you think you are. You are completely correct that each water line into the reactor will require two offshore pumps. Since ...

Hmm, OK, I'll take a look at it. Thanks. I made this blueprint on version 0.16, so it's possible things have changed slightly. I know it worked fine enough when I made it. We also use several of them on our server network, sometimes at max capacity, and they work fine. I see in your picture you had...

Ok i started a sandbox szenario and got this error :-( : Error while running event adamo-contraptions::on_player_joined_game (ID 43) __adamo-contraptions__/control.lua:40: attempt to index local 'armorinv' (a nil value) stack traceback: __adamo-contraptions__/control.lua:40: in function 'reset_equi...

You need to change the values, e.g., data.raw.pipe["plastic-pipe"].fluid_box.base_area = 0.8 data.raw["pipe-to-ground"]["plastic-pipe-to-ground"].fluid_box.base_area =0.8 I have also seen a similar reactor blueprint to what you say. There's not much I can do for those ...

That would definitely be ideal. I could get CLOSE to boiler behaviour by setting the kettle to be on the same level as the pipes, which would mean, essentially, that they fill up at the same rate as the pipes, rather than "grabbing all the available fluid" like chemical plants do. That ac...
