Re: [0.15.1] Non-Conducting heat pipes after 60 tile

I think changing this behavior should be a priority. I don't have anything to say that already hasn't been said, but consistent mechanics that don't have anti-synergy with other mechanics are important enough that I felt the need to say something.

Re: [Twinsen] Circuit Network, Anything Vs Everything

But for logic: If everyone has 10$ then they can come into the disco, so if no one has money they can also come in ?!? If 5 people out of 5 have 10$, EVERYONE can enter the disco. If 4 people have 10$ one person has 1$, out of a total of 5 people, NOT EVERYONE can enter the disco. If 0 people out o...

Re: [Twinsen] Circuit Network, Anything Vs Everything

It's just the way the edge cases are handled. If Everything > 10 means: if ALL the signals evaluated individually are > 10. If there are no signals, the condition is true by default, since IMO if you have no signals, all of them are > 10. If Anything > 10 means: if ANY of the signals evaluated indi...

In my experience, Everything > 10 evaluates more like Nothing < 11.

Re: [MOD 0.12.11] SRS, an end game challenge

I like the idea of a different endgame mod, even if it winds up being very similar to vanilla. Blood coins sound like an alternate to the score counter of launching rockets, unless there's some use for them that I missed. Have you thought about posting the true base material balance of your blood co...

Re: Friday Facts #129 - The late game

A) You have a scenario where infinite research makes part of the game irrelevant. In the case of infinite turret research, the player will eventually reach a point where the entire combat part of the game is easy and meaningless, removing that type of play as an option in megabases.. To show why th...

Re: Friday Facts #129 - The late game

All of the ideas in this FF are great, and would make me highly interested in picking up Factorio again. It's been a while, and knowing endgame has been improved would be amazing, especially with respect to changes to resource gathering/generation. The concern I have with using research for an endga...

Re: [0.12.x][0.12.0]Bob's Library mod

By itself it does nothing.It contains code that would be repeated in several mods, to make modding easier, and the mods that use it smaller. Quoting this for emphasis, mostly on the repeated code bit. Obviously it's nice to have smaller, more efficient mods, but one of the biggest benefits for the ...

Re: [MOD 0.12.6+]ResourceCombinator 0.0.1

Fantastic improvement of the former idea and makes it now totally in the sense of the game. How will it work with resources like oil? (yield, slowly depleting)? Fluid resources? (these are inspirational questions :) ) For now, like this: Updated to 0.0.2 look for resource under combinator first, in...

Re: [0.12.7] Furnace doesn't smelt

I've actually had this happen before, but I didn't think much of it. I suspected it had something to do with an internal buffer plate after the smelter reaches 100 not being cleared if the input changes without output, so it's stuck wanting to smelt something but can't because the buffer plate is di...

Re: Update the Tips & Tricks graphics

This is actually something that really should be done before the steam release, in my opinion. Tips and tricks are something a lot of new players are going to see and use. Especially if they've never seen the game before, the old icons may actually be confusing because nothing in the game uses them.

Re: Mark water input in basic oil processing recipe

The real frustration is that water goes in the left side of the oil refinery, but the right side of chemical plants for cracking. It's basically designed to mess with your head. :D

Re: [MOD 0.12.x] Natural Evolution v4.1.1 - All things Alien!

I've seen big worms before medium biters without using this mod (or Bob's for that matter), so it may or may not be a problem. Not very many, but occasionally they'll be in a base I want to destroy because it's sitting in my pollution cloud.

Re: Version 0.12.6

Download page 404s for all versions of windows except 32bit zip as well. I assume that's why the autoupdater isn't working.
