water is a ridiculously good radiation absorber, i recently saw a plot of radiation density inside a cooling pond, and 2m below the surface, there is actually less than ambient levels of radiation, due to so little radiation from the rods getting to you -- https://what-if.xkcd.com/29/

any chance that there will be a forceShield mod for factorio 11? I normally paly with dytech warfare to add a bit more variety, but against that i like my force shields, which take the edge off the otherwise slightly crazy attack strengths.

already there are some issues with "this mod (A) must be loaded before mod B, but mod C likes to be loaded after me" this typically happens because recipies in mod A want to (conditionally) use use items in mod B suggestion: have multi phase mod loading with specific things to be done at d...

i think the issue here is that it costs nothing to overbuild your electric power supply, as lasers, when engaged, can easily consume more power than the rest of the base together. This combined with the low idle cost means that a large amount of static defence has no upkeep, *and* minimal cost to fi...

the attached save game / mod set will crash with a standard windows "factorio.exe has stopped working" error window about 2 mins after opening, even if you stand there and do nothing. the only "unusual" activity might be some force fields being destroyed to the south-east, but th...

is it possible to split send/receive power priority for accumulators? recharge at secondary power, emit at tertiary?

in 10.8 there is an "error while loading enitiy prototype "beltswitcher" (transport-belt): No such node (belt_horizontal)" I was able to resolve this by copying a couple of tags from the definition of the normal express belt : entities.lua: data:extend( { { type = "transport...

for this (and other mods) with this problem, just edit the info.json to have "name":"BeltSwitchers"

The title does not have to match the name

ForceShields crashed while i was turning the shields off: South had been off a little while, east/west were turned off about the same time, it looks like west had just finished decaying to the point it died. http://imgur.com/YV7WD9a ( image url is http://imgur.com/YV7WD9a, but i'm not sure why it's ...

The current (modded) game that i'm playing always crashes with out-of-memory after ~45 mins. This memory leak persists even after returning the the main menu, indicating that the game doesn't clean up the LUA memory after map exit. shortly after opening the latest auto-save factorio is using < 2gb o...

verified that there is a major memory leak in force fields; any time the force field is unable to generate due to an object being in the way. a setup like this leaks ~ 6mb/second ... even with just the north field on, memory usage still goes up by ~2mb/second. the memory leak stops when the fields a...

Recently Factorio has been crashing with out of memory, due to a memory leak. (memory usage goes up by a few meg per second indefinitely, crashes after using ~7gb of ram in an hour or so) I suspect one of the mods. Would it be possible, on a crash, to create a crash report which describes what happe...

when you have fully charged walls, pressing + to extend the shield an extra step discharges all the existing walls on that side. is this the intended behavior? also, would it be possible to decrease the size of the shield without immediately destroying the old ones? there are times when keeping part...

interesting ... i removed the zip, factorio started, added the zip again, and the error re-appeared.. i assumed it was this mod.

I'll test again with a new download.
