Re: Make promethium spoil, and quickly


have you even tested how ineffective this is before commenting?


Yes it works fine, you don't need to worry at all about spoilage even if the proposition was implemented.



It adds actually putting thoughts into building a promethium ship, instead of just building a giant square with tons of ...

Re: Elves was planned In Factorio? Mistery behind...

That's the kind of fun practice endangered by AI. Who would think about using a coffee machine picture as a fusion reactor nowadays x)
Made me think of how sound fx in movie are very often sliced or smashed vegetables sound.

Re: Question about achievements and playing with friends

The answer you received is correct. It is something that exist in game and is likely the reason for not receiving the achievement.

It does sound unfair to you friends , but if you continue playing together, they will eventually receive it, the amount of time they missed will become a smaller and ...

Re: A sibling API to play_sound: play_music


How it'd probably work is that each player has their own playlist that should play on a given surface, and setting the playlist for, say, a force, would set the playlist for each player w/in that force. So if you then set the playlist for a specific player in that force, their playlist would ...

Re: AI generated assets and disclosure



I feel this request as psychological or political, but not technical. This reminds me of long gone discussions when some people didn't want to use apps developed with Turbo Pascal or compiled by some given compiler.

I agree - it's a politically / ideologically based thing. Hence my original ...

Re: A sibling API to play_sound: play_music


How about allowing modders to define custom "playlists" in the prototype stage (procedural music systems, like planets already have), and then at runtime, they can set which playlist to play?


As an inexperienced modder, it doesn't appear clear to me right away how to avoid conflict if a mod ...

I was hoping to avoid the AI debate itself.

Again, if you like AI, you should have no trouble saying you use it or having that label.


I'm not sure why you repeat that, the repetition is accrediting to me ...

Re: Make promethium spoil, and quickly


Maby not make it spoil to quick but give it a spoil timer of lets say 30 minutes so people have a choice as well.
You can collect the asteroids and then quickly fly back to process them, or bring the eggs and quickly process them when you collect the prometium.
Or you can combine the 2 solutions ...

Re: Add "disable quality modules" circuit condition

you can also dump stuff in lava or in space if you want to control the quantity of things.

The setting "disable quality module" sounds like it could be easily abused. Situation where you try having 99% of a craft without quality module, so it is made faster, and you only enable them when the item ...
