Hm..if by "synching animations" you mean that every $machine-x entity animates exactly the same frame at the same tick i don't like that at all, so i hope i'm just misunderstanding. While i'm not sure how that would even work for different-speeded machines (irregular beacons/modules), eve...

I have an idea that could be used to improve texture streaming. For many animations in factorio it doesn't actually matter which frame is shown first, it only matters that they are animated. (Think of the assemblers, it doesn't matter what part of the animation is shown, the animation only shows tha...

giving source access to stranger sometimes helps us

wait, how did he get access? did he just ask?

Describe the problem as best as you can A scenario that starts with items in the player's hand, will instantly desync when watching the replay. Write down the steps to reproduce the bug if you know them. select belts in hotbar (I presume it works with any item) press escape save map quit game (to me...

I'm a bit curious as to why the speed varies. In the comments of his video, he says that he's using an AutoHotkey script, so shouldn't it maintain a constant speed if you do something like this: Label1: Send {Enter} Sleep, 16.67 Goto, Label1 (that's obviously simplified and you could use loops, but...

Letting stations overlap is a way to save space. This station does that.

But even with breaking force fully researched, trains take a while to stop. But there are other ways to get trains to stop fast... vlcsnap-2018-03-18-19h48m48s294.png For ...

Awesome Mod! I wanted to see if I could recreate this without mods and after 2 days of learning how the combinators and logistics work I came up with this, check it out :) Thanks for the inspiration! https://factorioprints.com/view/-KtOmZXztFC0Oi21Hq7O Uhhhh my version is without mods too (well I u...

I made this to show that you can force trains to go in circles without stopping (for as long as they have fuel) and you can force trains to collide.

Eheh my work computer is a potato. Well, no, that's not fair, it's actually pretty good however it's running a business-grade quad video card which is suitable for office applications and some web browsing but the measly 512MB VRAM (and that between 4 screens) just doesn't do games =P Well the PC I...
