Yeah, there are times I’d like to just toggle it on for a bit so I can see the interactions, recipes, etc, but wouldn’t want it on all the time.

And nobody is forcing you.

If you don't use float/double then you have to implement all the mathematical functions anyway. Reread repeatedly what I wrote. The bottleneck of synchronization for you is ALL mathematical functions??? It's good that you are not in the development team I think the synchronization is done already. ...

Idea is if a desync is identified, it is fixed by reimplementing the math function in the library and writing tests to ensure consistent results on all platforms. It will be easier not to use floating point numbers in critical places. Even if you take the task of compiling a list of ALL the mathema...

This would be so much simpler and faster if combinators had 2 extra virtual signals: "each red" and "each green" (as has been proposed for ages). The wire signals are carried on different wires and are accessible from LUA and visible on a power pole. So clearly the game does hav...

TL;DR When game scenes play in the background of the main menu allow the "alt" control key to work like in game. What ? In game pressing "alt" will show the contents of chests, trains. The programming of combinators and other more detailed views. Pressing "alt" in the ...

First: Why is your pump on land? If you hadn't filled in the land below the pump then your rails would not haven been able to be placed like that. I think the problem here is that the collision mask of trains are rectangles and in a curve that means the outer edges reach beyond the shape of the curv...

So what's the question?

PS: The color signals do not interfer with the LTN operations. LTN filters the signals on the lamp for real items and the control signals only and ignores the rest.

But what would be the point of it for matrix mode? Normally the order is important because an input for a recipe is only provided by another later entry. So if things are out of order then intermediates don't get build. But matrix mode just builds intermediates in whatever order they are, it's why i...

Relevant to 03: It would be nice if items could be sorted (as long as there are no loops). If new items are inserter before the recipes for it's inputs then adding duplicates would be less likely too. But don't prevent duplicates from being added. Sometimes you want them because the output of the r...

In the third picture it's again an instantly placed blueprint, so the expected situation is same as in the first picture. But oddly, the first turbines are working at full power. My guess is the first row of turbines wasn't destructed or at least placed earlier than the other turbines. Maybe you us...

Now that Factorio is on Nintendo Switch, maybe it's not so big of a jump to Stadia? Imagine the megabases you could make with that kind of power!!! From the comments it sounds more like Stadia is a dumb terminal. It doesn't run anything but is just a remote display. Which makes me wonder how well f...

And here is the distance from one location to another. That is, the ideal is to do it via robot: distancia.jpg At that distance you are probably using up more power for the bots than you gain from the wood. You really should use a belt or train. Or store the wood next to the boilers in the first pl...

Edit: As mrvn says, only in fluid boxes with three or more connections (e.g. a junction), the cardinal direction or some other internal order might matter. (Heat pipes have a similar system, and considering a reactor has 12 connection points, the four cardinal directions are clearly not enough to o...

Iirc it used to be that people build pipelines to transport liquid from west to east and got a flow rate of x. The next person build the same setup but transporting liquid from east to west and they got a flow rate of y < x. The conclusion then was that you should build your pipes so liquid flows to...

By the way this isn't non-physical or anything. For example, when we talk about speed of light we talk about "back-and-forth" speed of light, e.g. measured from A -> B -> A, and then we assume that it is equal in all directions. It is impossible to measure unidirectional speed of light (a...

This won't work well if belts that aren't fully compressed or with fluids (because they have waves). There was a mod though that would allow you to define a sub-factory and then create copies of it. The original sub-factory is simulated normal and all the copies just copy then input and output. So y...

Or you use it to prioritize: Coal Mine (limit 1, always enabled, train idles here) full Power plant (limit set by free space in chests, enabled only when limit > 0) empty Smelter fuel (limit set by free space in chests, enabled only when limit > 0) empty Now whatever station needs coal gets the trai...

It would be pretty interesting to get a AArch64 linux build, most of the posts I have seen are discussing the use of low end SBCs as dedicated servers but I would be more interested in running the full game on high power chips like the NVIDIA Jetson family where both CPU and GPU performance isn't a...
