I'm sure that a big chunk of players other than me have a minecraft addiction as well

I love big scale games, so I'm also a fan of simcity and Supreme Commander:Forged Alliance (supcom 2 and planetary annihilation just don't feel as 'huge' to me)

Yeah, it's for energy production from liquids without having to write all the glue code to move fluids around, spawn hidden pipes, etc. GUI? You are on your own there. I hate working on GUI stuff

I'm working on a generator framework mod, and it's useless as a standalone. It only has meaning when required by other mods.

Where does it belong?

This mod is intended to simplify and extend the creation of generators in other mods. Essentially what the mod does is handles transferring of fluid between the input pipe, the generator fluid box, and the output pipe. You specify where the (invisible) input and output pipes should be, what liquid t...

Just a guess, but I suspect that you are not running the experimental version of factorio. There is currently no 'stable' multiplayer version. When you start factorio, what is the version number show in the title? You need at least 0.11.x You can also see the version number if you click on the 'abou...

So, in the control.lua script I have a ontick event handler. Every tick it goes through a table, does some stuff with each entity in the table. Pretty standard stuff. To prevent wasted cycles I currently skip the handler if there is no entities. This is simple, and works fine. Does anyone have a goo...

You mentioned wanting a way to nerf lasers in some way, to make them fit better with your turrets. Have you considered making them work similar to your gatling turret? High rate of fire, low range. Keep the default damage(or similar). Give them an internal energy storage good for a handful of shots,...

Ok. I'm willing to lay out something in regards to more realistic steam generation. I'd very much like to use script interfaces extensively, but I havn't used them yet. It'll take some practice I think. Feedwater max temp 100, 1kj/degree Feedwater make up pump - script as small pump - keeps a reason...

We need also a turbine, which works like the steam engine but the steam doesn't go into the air, it can be reused as preheated medium. There are this 4 stages: - Water - overheated water (up to 400 degrees) - dry steam - wet steam And this are the conversions: Water from lake or condenser V - by pr...

- Stone creation must not be faster than a fast inserter can run I'm not sure why you would limit it so low, unless the behavior is undesired. Except for a 1x1 building, it's reasonable to expect at least two sets (likely opposite sides) of two inserters to be working. Limiting yourself to ~3x fast...

You need to fix the fluids - pressure_to_speed, and maybe flow_to_energy - because steam don't need a pump. i think another problem come from the game itself - because you need to transfer the MJ into the fluid and after some piping you transfer the MJ back. as a formel i would say you can stroke t...

Secondly, a crystallizer: This is the machine that cools the lava. Either slowly with a seed material to produce ores, or fast with water to produce hot water for power. 3x3 size, same as an assembler. One liquid inlet, one outlet. I'm not really sure what it should look like. maybe you can accept ...

Introduces low and high pressure steam fluids. Also contains pumps to allow a circulating boiler setup with ease. Specific heat of low and high pressure steam has been adjusted to near real-world values, with low pressure ~1.5x water, and high pressure ~4.25x water. This means that each unit of wate...

Me likey! Hopefully I get some time tonight to integrate that crystallizer. Great work sir!

Mohole Mod https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=7534 Hey, I'm looking for a few graphics for the above mod. First, a mohole: See http://kimstanleyrobinson.info/w/index.php5?title=Mohole for the inspiration of this mod. That page has only a couple rather simple drawings. 10x10 s...

Introduces a new form of endgame mining and power production that is massively polluting, but can provide a steady source of materials and power. Uses the impressive heat resistance of alien artifacts to the players advantage. The player needs to deal with the vast quantities of waste stone this mod...

One thing that really bothers me is that all higher tier machines are just recolored versions of vannila ones! basic:________________________Most advanced: basic+ Millions of dollars+centuries of development http://i.imgur.com/YM8ZpSo.jpg?3 http://i.imgur.com/HTbCDoI.jpg?1 Basic:___________________...

I'm hoping to keep this a much smaller standalone mod than F-mod. Single clear purpose, only a couple items/buildings/etc.

I'd like some suggestions on the best entity type to extend for creating the Mohole building. I have been thinking that the refinery might be best, as it already has liquid inputs and outputs. I'm also interested in any knowledge about building size limits. How big can I get? 10x10 tiles? 25x25?

Introduces a new form of endgame mining and power production that is massively polluting, but can provide a steady source of materials. I'm interested in helping with the mod development and design, but don't have the free time to do it all myself. I've already set up a github repo and wiki for the ...
