Re: [0.17] Sea Block Pack 0.3.8

Compared to the earlier version I played, I have to say, I really like the shorter path to basic crystallization. Oh, what is the difference ? Two differences, at least two that were obvious enough. One, Green algae, there is a lower tier recipe than before. The current T2, mineralized water plus c...

Re: [0.17] Sea Block Pack 0.3.8

Finally got a stable setup, which doesn't require me constantly micromanaging. A few things will stop eventually, mainly the landfill maker, which is just eating steam from a steamtank I had sitting there earlier, and the blast furnaces, which don't have a Charcoal input. Past that, Charcoal is fina...

Re: Automatic scouting drones

There are two elements in game with similar effects already. Radar, and more specifically, radar outposts. A single radar and a bunch of solar panels+ accumulators. Not sure exact ratio, but its probably easy to find. Reveals a large area, eventually, and you can build it with bots. Make a bunch of ...

Re: New Quickbar

The only complaint I have about the new quickbar is it's lack of intuition. Dragging shortcuts aroujd copys them instead or moving or swapping. The middle mouse button is default instead of right click. There is no longer an effect where new item types show up in the bar. I am used to it, and I pref...

Re: Games Like Factorio

I never said clones are bad. Just saying that it doesn't look like it is doing anything factorio isn't. The other examples have significant differences, despite being inspired. A clone is fine as long as it goes in a different direction, or puts it's own spin on things. Rollercoaster tycoon 1 and si...

Re: [0.17.74] Possible bug - Cliff gaps

I had this same issue. Removing squeakthrough fixed it. Ignoring it is also an option, albiet less satisfying.

In any case, list the mods you used. Kinda hard to help otherwise.

Re: [0.17.76] Armor GUI doesn't change when changing armor

Not exactly a bug, but is confusing until you figure it out. And yes, I want it changed too. Opening the armor Gui opens it, but the game doesn't associate that with it being equiped armor. So, on swapping armor, it doesn't close the armor you removed, or open the one you just equipped. It makes mor...

Re: Rendering to render between tile layers

In Industrial Revolution, the crushed ore type tiles end up with decorations on top of it, because they are set to be below existing tiles. This would allow a fix.


Not sure if the intent is to use a string to sort layers, like recipes, or add fractions, and I have no idea how it works internally.

Re: [0.17.72] Inserter deadlock trying to overfill assembler

Huh. This requires science.... Lets see. Manually put in 198 items, and an inserter with access to the items. See if it puts in 3. Do it again, with 195 and two linked inserters. As in circuit enables. See if it tries to put in 3 twice. Try the same with a recipe that doesnt limit break. Try it agai...

By any chance, did you dump Extra items into the assembler? I do that a lot with furnaces and sometimes it clogs the system.

Re: Making trees stronger the farther they are from the spawn point

I can't give much more than sanity checks. That looks like it should work.

Mod is enabled.
Data is actually running. The include file thing.
Correct entity table.
Correct field names.

Past that, find a similar mod (adjusts all entities of a type) and copy from that before making changes.

Re: [0.17.73][Modded] Outrunning map generation

This is actually vanilla. If you use Ghost Mode (No character, free movement) it is trivial to reach the edge of generated map. Never considered that they would be a mod that let you stack so much speed that it would be a legitimate issue though. The best solution I can think of is to treat incomple...

Re: Sulfur crystals irregular sprite?

Its not really natural, given you synthesize it.
That said, given the current sprite is clearly irregular, it should probably be either made to look artificially shaped or else natural, like you said.

Re: Criticism: Belt Immunity Equipment

Admittedly, my opinion on the subject is that each tile should be graphivally twice the size, and all the 2x2 be shrunk to 1x1. And the squares changed to rectangles, such that the odd 1 by X gaps aren't a thing. It's actually not fun having seriously different sizes or shapes for equipment. Would b...

The two things I think are unusual that I do. Belt lockers. In various locations I set up a little circuit thing eith a belt that turns the belt ofd if a forbidden item goes through.

Re: Recipe components showing in random order

You should check the sorting string for those items. Odds are it uses that as the order.

Admittedly I never checked, so it might be the item's internal name or something else.
