I just don't understand how these changes could have been intentional in the raw logic of things. They are not. Developers have done a ton of belt performance optimizations in 0.16, and this is just an unwanted byproduct. Be patient! This is not exactly true. Friday Facts #221 tells us that they be...

The issue with this workaround is that it's exactly the same as it used to be for corners, and they fixed that.
I would be inconsistent if they didn't fix this.

This used to be my method as well, until I found out there's a mod called Waterfill.

I agree, I already noticed some throughput issues in my factory. I use sideloading and underground belt compression quite a bit and feel that they allow for more efficient (and fun) designs.

On the screenshots I noticed big increase in draw calls (from 239 without uranium ore, to 2067 with uranium). We render draw glow layer over the ore. I move rendering of the glow to higher layer, so it doesn't break batching if uranium ore sprite and the glow sprite don't fall into the same sprite ...

I have the same issue, the bots near the roboport I'm standing next to won't build the tiles a bit to the top right. http://i.imgur.com/ZTnA16A.png http://i.imgur.com/chUEH49.png I have attached my save file. I have attached my mods as well, but none of them influence the bots directly, so they shou...

Sweet! Thanks for the update!

I think it's open to interpretation if it's a bug or not. But you can leave it in ideas and suggestions.

Not much interpretation there, since it's not a bug if it's intended to be as it is.

Nice! I like that it's still around and updated, good work!
Would've liked to have been contacted by you and gorre9090, but since you both at least credited me I guess it's alright.

You should check whether the FindEntitiesFiltered function is still capable of finding entities on transport belts. They changed the transport belt system completely in 0.12.

I see a lot of people talking about your own base burning. I think steel and concrete don't burn very well.
I'd imagine burning trees nearby might do damage to buildings, but I don't see how your own buildings would burn.

Sweet! Thank you for your ongoing effort!

It's impossible to do it using the old method, the one used in that mod. It's probably possible to simulate blocking 1 path using this method: - Scan for items arriving on the last transport belt. - If an item arrived on the path you're scanning: - Create a copy of the item on the next belt. - Destr...

Thank you! I will probably decide on supporting the devs. as much as I can, running a little short now, thanks! Note that you can always upgrade your version later. You can buy the basic version now and buy an upgrade to the next version next month. You'll end up paying the same amount, just spread...

The only way I can think of is to check player.opened every tick/few ticks and do things whenever it changes.

I'd like to take a look but postimg doesn't work at all for me. Could you upload them to another host (for example imgur)?
Postimg gives 504 Gateway Time-out on each image

Check out this thread for discussion and code on how to make this happen.
Trying to add lights to poles, is it possible?

I am currently on a holiday without access to a proper computer. I will update it when I get back.

Like the pipette tool in some other games. I'd like that as well.
