Re: Looking for a new challenge? [Veterans only]

For the map settings, I removed water and cliffs. Just a personal preference, I like a blank canvas. It makes it slightly harder to defend in early game tho, because the water and cliffs can provide a good defence barrier, so without them you have to defend 360deg. Otherwise, the only other setting...

Re: Looking for a new challenge? [Veterans only]

SOLUTION Death World Marathon + Bobs Enemies + SpaceX Did it take 4200 hours to beat it? That's massive. Regular DW Marathon is like 40-100 hours. but Marathon probably scales brutally in SpaceX. Anyway, sounds like a good combo. I didn't enjoy Rampant that much, either Did you have special map set...

Re: Landfill

Maybe Canalbuilder? Didn't use it ever. Nor sure, maybe you can try to reset mod settings to default, if you don't mind. The other way is to disable half of the mods (if dependencies allow) and try, if it's still there, then you know, which half is responsible. Rinse and repeat for the responsible h...

Re: vanilla death world too hard

Overall, deathworld difficulty seems imba; the red sci pack phase is slow, difficulty peaks at hard for green sci with lots of bug attacks, but once blue is acquired the difficulty drops off, and purple-yellow is no different than normal. That's probably true. The threat from the beginning is reduc...

Re: Save file exact versions of mods

You can see the exact versions in Load game dialog. I don't if is possible to extract as text file or whatever.

However, sync mods does not sync to the exact versions, but to the latest, iirc.

Exact versions can be downloaded via modportal, but it's a bit of a hassle.

Re: vanilla death world too hard

step 1. Ignore start ore patches next to aliens and instead look for big rocks for coal. Exactly. In case of your former map, you would not need coal/stone immediately and you could mine iron/copper first for some time. You can also run around the map as you want. You only get detected by enemies, ...

Re: vanilla death world too hard

I've just tried deathworld again after some years. The biters are not a problem, you can kill them with pickaxe + fish. However the only copper nearby was under a nest and that proved too hard. So yes, some deathworld maps are probably impossible. Depends, if you brute force with pickaxe and fish, ...

Re: vanilla death world too hard

Desert maps are tough. If also the biters are very near the ore patches, it can be quite problematic. You can check preview to avoid those maps. If you still want to try it, here some tipps: - Go first somewhere else and mine iron, either by hand or with burner miners. Here you don't disturb the bit...

Re: Factorio price increase - 2023/01/26

What are we missing? They are able to take their necessary time for the expansion. No financial pressure (rather due to impatience of their customers :D) Usually, a lot of money gets extracted as yield for investors, which is lost. This should not be the case here and a lot of the money is reinvest...

The new bookmark feature helps to whitelist mods for yourself.
May there could be a similar feature for personal blacklisting?

Re: Factorio price increase - 2023/01/26

Also comparing full price is not fair as Factorio is old and never on sale, you can buy a half done AAA for more than Factorio if you want to, but we all know that's a bad idea, Factorio is no exception, well, the exception is that you have to buy it at full price. Only because AAA titles loose the...

Re: What to do with entities after uninstall

The modding community could easily add a library to provide "/uninstall modname" where each mod can register it's own uninstall handlers. Probably would make the most sense, but I doubt too many modders would support that. The only advantage of a central mod could be, that it is executabl...

Royalty free music pack

Would be nice, if there was a music pack, which replaces the original music, but which also could be used for content creation. Maybe something less depressing. As much as I liked the original music. I switched it off years ago, because I can't stomach it anymore. Not only for me, but also for other...

Re: Check, if a ghost collides with a real entity

I think you might be misunderstanding what revive does. It won't mark anything for deconstruction when called. Any items the new real entity collided with or nil if the ghost could not be revived. This means any type="item-on-ground" entities that were in the way that it picks up off the ...
