Re: Re-enabling achievments guide [16.25]

I don't really think achievement statistics have any purpose as it is. Same goes for those trading cards, I have never met someone who actually admits they buy those things but the people are out there somewhere..

My enjoyment with achievements comes from achieving some arbitrary objective like not ...

Re: The speed runner that materialized out of nowhere

Do speed runners always play in peaceful mode? After watching for a while I was wondering why he had no defenses and then I realized he chose peaceful. Takes away the pollution management part of the game entirely but I guess if everyone does it the playing field is leveled for speed runs.

Re: Friday Facts #214 - Concrete rendering

New concrete looks beautiful, but I agree it is not what I think of when I hear concrete. Might look a little too busy which is the opposite of what some people will want. Honestly though, I can't say how I feel about it without trying it in-game.

I suppose you could just make two difference ...

Re: Version 0.15.13

Most of the gui elements now work only with left mouse button, so other buttons might be used without intefering with gui.



You cant Right-Click and drag in the Blueprints Edit windows anymore to delete multiple entities from the blueprint.

Same here. Would you kindly hotfix this ...

I like pretty much everything stated in the article, just wanted to point out one thing:

Re: Version 0.15.12

I'm against the blueprint placing, I am not even sure how I feel about being able to check on biter attacks remotely just because I have "radar" nearby, although I admit I do it since I can.

I think the only answer is for this to be configurable somehow in the menus. People playing single player ...

Re: Does Math Ruin this Game?

I feel like it only ruins the game for me if I cheat and look up other people's ratios. I only know a couple ones just like Peter, and the rest I just constantly tweak because I'm not sure what is optimal.

Does anyone know if there's a place to get information to calculate the proper ratios on our ...

Re: [0.15.4] can't catch up 16% cpu usage

Hmm.. but he's showing you the graph will all the cores and none are maxed so its not an average. The process would not be jumping evenly between cores. I would not think the bottleneck is the CPU looking at that.

Maybe I am wrong. If you upload the log of the connecting client (you) maybe someone ...

Are you forwarding ports in your router? I have to do that for my headless server, I would assume it is the same for what you are trying to do.

Re: How to use % in an arithmetic combinator?

Exactly. If you want 20% of the input you would multiply by .20

6 * .20 = 1.2

If you cannot do decimal, you could do more combinators:

6 * 20 / 100 = 1.2
