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, ...

Come on, I still don't see any fixes regarding map generation. I'm as eager to see the return of more global variety in biome distribution as anyone, but you can express this much more politely. The new terrain generation is actually really cool in its local variation. If I'm not mistaken, they mad...

It might be somewhat complicated by non-modifier-key bindings unfortunately. :/

Sadly, I don't think my simple suggestion will work because of this uncertainty.

I agree, per-save achievements would be a welcome change--as an option, at least!

Just make the box indicating that you've pasted visible until you let go of Shift, or copy something else. You'll get the benefit of showing multiple successful pastes, without much performance impact.

Sharp boundaries are to be expected with any reasonably performant update to the map generation.

I just hope they have enough leeway to add in a continental-scale modulation for larger biome distributions again.

Actually, I like the new terrain generation. It looks, to me, more realistic than the otherwise bland treatment of biomes we had before. It looks wilder. ie. more realistic. On a small scale, that's true. But when you zoom out, something has been lost. It would be nice if the old large-scale biome ...

I'd love to see a blending of the new biome generation with the old. This new pattern gives more interest locally, but becomes monotonous on a large scale. The old one gave nice variation globally, but was rather repetitive locally. Segmentation, Biomes, and Starting Resources seem like the only iss...

I posted this under general discussion not thinking to check the bug report forum before. I wasn't sure if what i was seeing a bug: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=27655 There's a screenshot there showing a 0.12 save with a large area revealed surrounded by new 0.13 charted terr...

It really looks like the underlying height map is indicating areas far from large bodies of water should tend to be more dry, while areas by a lot of water should be more green. This creates nice *local* variation, but on a global scale it gets repetitive because they can't simulate rainfall high/lo...

They're working on this. You're not getting free power; it's a virtual connection or "wireless electricity hack" as Klonan put it. :lol: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=27354 Deconstructing then rebuilding one of the two grids will restore sanity. I'm not sure if there'...

In a fresh 0.13 game (or in 0.12) items are persisted on the ground when a belt is destroyed.

In 0.13.1, once construction planning is researched (/c game.player.force.technologies['automated-construction'].researched = true) and ghost images appear after belts are destroyed, these items are lost.

Graph theory with entire subgraphs becoming nodes and allowing arbitrary connectivity gets complicated. Good luck ironing this out guys!

Replay is enabled in the attached save file to show exact steps. Power switch is placed between two connected poles, wired to each, then the poles are disconnected manually. At this point there is an invisible connection bypassing the power switch, which may be removed along with intermediate power ...
