Considering how much more effective belts are, it might make sense to give them a power requirement once they reach above a certain length. Even possibly requiring 'belt engines' at regular intervals. One could also add easy to produce fuel-based belt engines for the early game, thus not having any ...

Use transport belts.

Once the mining resource is used up, the belt can be repurposed for the next resource you find in that direction.

If you use map editor, it's in the "Production" subtab under "Entities". There are also Coins are in "Intermediates".

Those coins are obviously for bypassing blown fuses.

Consider using Iperf to test both TCP and UDP transfer rates for that player, might be an issue with UDP packets being throttled or running into buffer issues (UDP and TCP buffers and packet handling on many home routers are separate). Also the widespread use of BitTorrent udp protocol might cause i...

Use only UDP!

Funny cause factorio is the kind of deterministic game engine where TCP is exactly what you want.

This happens when trying to start the client on OSX Mavericks.

Edit: Worked around this by deleting the trailer mod.

Good to know that, so the whole equator thing is not that far fetched as I thought. I luckily have 32GB of RAm where around 6 to 7 GB get used by other things like the OS etc. Thing is you don't actually need to store anything in memory for each and every tile, just what objects exists, the boundar...

How about instead implementing weather.

The MP would be so awesome if there was no chat or voice communication, imagine the fun.

std::stable_sort to the rescue?

Just remember, I'm voicing an opinion, this is your game, not mine, at the end of the day, you have the final say, and I understand that, but also keep in mind that I'm not just some nobody, I do have some experience, so please listen to what I have to say before deciding not to use it. :P No I'm n...

There's no token ring involved in P2P.

The latency would, assuming proper implementation, be limited to that between the pair with the largest delay in transmission.

Is latency a (possibly dynamic) value, or does it rely on confirmation from all clients that they've completed every tick?

I'm a developer that also has quite some experience in network programming. From my experience the guy I quoted is right. Some really strange things will start happening when you keep sending everything p2p if everyone is at different latencies (since there is not one true state in the game). Just ...

On this latest save it happens within a few minutes of doing normal stuff. I'll check out 0.10.2.

Edit: 0.10.2 hasn't crashed within the first 10 minutes I had time for now.

That you'd get different results for the trigonometric functions should not be a reason to implement them by hand... They are available in current x86 instruction sets and afaicr should have consistent behavior across models. Looking at the assembler should show the potential inconsistencies in call...
