[0.14.1] Evolution factor from forest fire

This is probably a Won't Fix, but when using the /evolution command at the start of the game, Time is 100% As soon as the player starts generating pollution with machines like the burner miner, Time drops to 99% (Pollution remains at 0% due to rounding, presumably) This shows that it is the *emissio...

Re: [0.14] Equipment and Module Copy-Paste

Modules are a secondary concern, given that blueprints contain modules as of 0.13. Copying and pasting equipment grid layouts filled from the player's inventory if possible would be far more helpful. That said, after doing some research I believe a mod should be able to do both. But it would be a go...

[0.14] Equipment and Module Copy-Paste

If we're going to have fleets of trains equipped with all sorts of new upgrades, we could use a way to copy and paste common setups. Just have copy-paste automatically insert the equipment to make a 2nd entity's grid identical. (Copy-paste while in inventory too?) Could this be extended to assembler...

Re: [Train Pathing] Include Ghost Images

Trains crashing into the end of the rail wouldn't be a problem as long as that state were detected as "stopped" for the purpose of activating construction bots. I envision having every train in the network (or at least the exposed parts of the network outside of any walled regions) built w...

[Train Pathing] Include Ghost Images

With the arrival of trains carrying roboports of their own, trains can now build, repair, and replace their own rail. Amazing! However, if a section of track is destroyed, a train will stop in its tracks and give a No Path error well before it has a chance to repair/replace the damaged rail. So: Wou...

Re: Friday facts #151 - The plans for 0.14

I do like the idea of making nuclear plants less responsive - right now both solar and steam power will happily provide exactly as much power as you need at the moment, but if nuclear plants needed time to ramp up and down their power generation (by which I mean 'the amount of water they are boilin...

Re: [0.13.10] [Pending] Map generation

Regarding desert starts, AntiElite: It is possible to get them, they're just random and significantly less common than in 0.12.

Re: [Multiplayer] Click-dragging with big power pole UPS drop

Sure thing. I should have noted additionally that the performance hit if existent is not noticeable in single-player, and it also does not require walking. It's simply click-dragging (trying to auto-place).

Re: [Multiplayer] Click-dragging with big power pole UPS drop

Apparently other people I play with can't cause it. It starts out okay, then falls behind gradually. Multiplayer waiting statistics on my end go from 1 to around ~7 for a peer, but 20->100-> stable at 170 on me from their perspective. They feel the slowdown equivalent to my visible UPS, even though ...

[Multiplayer] Click-dragging with big power pole UPS drop

Occasionally during multiplayer, drag-placing big power poles will dramatically reduce UPS. It tends to work fine for the first few poles, then slow down for various reasons. Likely causes are collision with the player or attempted placement/connectivity with approaching other poles. Either way it s...

Re: [0.13] Increase copy/paste filter numbers for requester chests

Just one more thought: While adding, it probably ought to add 2x at a time so the current behavior from a single paste is maintained. If anyone cares about the difference between 2, 4, 6x, etc. and 3x, 5x, etc., they can take the time to set it manually.

Hm. Nice idea. Not intuitive (the whole feature isn't), and it would work for 90% of the cases I think. Good enough. Maybe: Instead of adding multiplying by 2? The idea actually came to me when setting up bot-based production with paired assemblers feeding from a requester chest, which would be gre...

Re: [0.13.0] Terrain segmentation

Another thing i've noticed is if I set enemy spawns to low or very low everything, but starting area to "none" it's as if the biter settings got turned to very high. That sounds reasonable because if you don't have a starting area there's no ramp of difficulty. It's more of a mod option, ...
