I.. really like this mod. I hope some of this stuff makes it into vanilla.. Thank you! Yeah, I too hope we'll get to see roads and such in vanilla Factorio sooner or later. Especially because the mod API is fairly limited and most things have to be done in a very hacky way. I didn't exactly say tha...

Burner inserters are a cheap low-tech item that, unlike regular inserters, does not use any power when idle. If it was also faster than normal inserters, then there would be no point in using standard inserters at all. Half of the advantage of steel furnaces is that they smelt faster with the same a...

The problem is the same as with the belts and already has been discussed: - The off-shore pump is need to generate the first electricity. If that pump needs electricity you need to produce electricity to make it run. See it? - the same reason as with the belts: what does it bring from game-play sig...

Burner miners? So you just spawned next to this? Holy moly, that's some great luck.

Before trying to do any experiments, you should wait for 10.1, where a bug with disappearing liquids has been fixed.

This topic is still very much active, somebody just posted a fix for 0.10 last Sunday. Also, this forum very much encourages necroposting, just look at Ssilk telling people to search for old threads instead of creating new ones.

Cool, another usefull mod. Show me bridge! Thanks! You can see the current version of bridges here: http://i.imgur.com/Mv5wVM3.png . Just remember they are still an experimental feature, so they are rather fugly and a bit buggy too. You can use them already, though, just enable the experimental fea...

Hmm.. For me, replays themselves tend to be about 20-25 MB themselves (until I get a bad allocation error). I think how big the save grows depends on how much you are moving, clicking and doing various other stuff as well as on how much you explore.

Awww cube, you got my hopes up already! Way to crush them, kovarex.

Yeah, I agree. It's very unintuitive not to be able to mine them, when I was a beginner I thought they couldn't be destroyed and built my factories away from them. Making them mineable is as easy as adding one line to the prototype definition, there's no real reason for not changing this. By the way...

Am I really the only one who always takes the time to build a functional burner industry first? I find having at least two stone furnaces constantly smelting iron plates without any need to be supervised makes my subsequent electricity expansion much quicker.

Said by the devs in the Friday Facts #38 thread.

RoadWorks is a mod focusing on adding the base connection infrastructure currently missing from Factorio. The mod expands on the car aspect of the game, adding features such as paved roads or speedometers. Three kinds of pavement - cobblestone, concrete and asphalt, each increasing the speed of vehi...

That's 160 steam engines, so 80 megawatts of power, right?

Also, do you really need that much water?

DRBLN wrote:But it consumes the fuel even though it's idle.

It doesn't. Burner drills and inserters only consume fuel when working. I'm not sure how have you come to the conclusion (maybe because idle electric machines do consume power?)

I don't think the crafting time of advanced circuits should be reduced. It's currently one of the leading factors for industrialisation - while you can craft items requiring the circuits manually for a while, you'll need to automate the process if you ever want to have plenty of roboports or other t...

Oh, that's great! Can't wait for Friday now.

Wait, you can set filters in the hotbar?

The 0.10.1 will be released on Friday. There are quite a few fixes and some of them are for rather annoying bugs (turrets not shooting, etc.). Wonderful! I'm just sad that the bad allocation bug is not fixed in 10.1, it always seems to happen once my maps get bigs enough. Granted, my computer only ...

Well, Sander Buruma did say he wanted to boost production to 45 packs/minute by adding miners, but he may not realize he needs to speed up his gear production as well.
