Suggestion: FARL follows ghost rails when it encounters them. Why? I find it much easier to manually lay curves and twists-and-turns than try to guess when to start turning with FARL. Or, sometimes I will design track layout over a large area for aesthetics or follow the natural flow of the land. It...

Updated to 1.0.6. Let me know if you encounter problems, particularly performance issues in mega-factories. My moderately large factory performs well, but I don't (haven't) build mega-factories

Whenever you upgrade an entity using upgrade planner, the entity being replaced does not have its defines.events.on_preplayer_mined_item invoked and the upgraded entity does not have its defines.events.on_built_entity invoked. This effectively breaks any mod that needs state tracking initialized on ...

I would also like to see a change. Random poles and tracks out in the wild get nommed on and it's a bit of a hassle unless you cover every square inch with construction bots. I did like a bit of emergent gameplay where my laser tower push was cut-off because of the high-death-retreat-logic. They cir...

Will Big Brother's technologies for improved radar speeds create performance enhanced terraformers?

RSO 2.2.0 is spawning new resources in the starting area each time a game is loaded. This is with an in-progress game that was started using RSO 2.1.0.

Can someone share some tips on how to have a green factory? Sure, I can tell you what I've done. My evolution has dropped from ~40% down to ~19% since my green factory came online and I have four terraforming units. I'm not using any Bio/Tree-planting/Tree-expanding mods. I do have a mod called &qu...

For refueling... will an L-C train refuel at an Refuel L-C-L since it's technically compatible?

I didn't know you could change that circuit mode of a roboport, thanks.

Hello. Pictures are worth a thousand words. In short, the condition on the inserter is logi-bots > 0, there are 977 in the network with 350 being in the adjacent roboport.

I really liked this mod and would like to get back to using it at some point. To overcome the biter-AI-belt-logic problem, I had started putting robots in walled gardens. They were "free turrets" that I could pick up and "robot creep" whenever I needed to push back a biter nest. ...

Is anyone seeing an unknown key error when picking up the small artifacts? As if the localization is missing?

When constructing a new terraforming building N , how is its effectiveness calculated? 1 - 0.15N -- e.g., 0% effectiveness on 7th building 1 * 0.85^N -- e.g., 32% effectiveness on 7th building Also, will the enemies de-evolve? I had my evolution at 61% running the the Science Tweak Mod + Rampage + R...

Oh thank goodness! I prefer the plates view And yes, I was in cheat mode since I was testing but didn't even dawn on me that that might have been the cause.

Over lunch, I was updating my mod and I noticed that the "Total Raw" now displays ores instead of plates. However, "Total Raw" still shows petroleum instead of raw crude oil. I didn't check recipes that use light oil, heavy oil, sulfur, or lubricant to see if their "Total Ra...

Does the mod portal Do the Right Thing(TM)? Meaning, does it find the highest level mod version that matches their Factorio version? If I have two versions of my mod, 1.0.0 (factorio_verison=0.13) and 1.0.1 (factorio_version=0.14) and someone on a .13 client browses for my mod, will it download 1.0....

Here's a video [1] at 54% evolution with the retreat oscillation. This happened about 15-20 times before I decided to record the video. Eventually they decided to attack but by then their numbers were thinned substantially (you can see the pile of bodies from the previous oscillations). That swarm a...

What level was your evolution at? Unfortunately, I don't know. My evolution from the same game is now at 52%. Maybe it was around 20-30%? I haven't noticed that behavior as much anymore, but I'm also not paying attention as closely since my automated defense keeps things under control. As an aside,...

I played a little last night with NE+Rampant+RSO. There are two observations--the first is about Rampant and the other I'm not sure about. 1) The tactical retreat makes it too easy to fend off waves of aliens. Previously, waves would swarm your defenses, possible damaging or destroying walls and tur...

Neat little mod! After playing with it some, my only comment is that I think the express pump is too damn good. Increasing flow by 5x would require around 12500% more power[1][2]. I'm not suggesting the pump should draw 125x the power or cost a bunch in materials--it's a fictional game, after all. I...
