I wonder, too, how much the small collision boxes of the biters has to do with it. Even the behemoth biters/spitters have relatively small boxes that only catch a couple of the pellets despite the sprite being so big it could easily catch 90% of the pellets at moderate range. I realize that these co...

Reading through everyone’s thoughts and thinking about it, too, I’d support removal of fluid temp if the suggestion bobingabout made back at the end of the first page were implemented.

[*]Fixed that inserter tooltips would list pollution despite inserters being unable to produce pollution. (https://forums.factorio.com/72855) Why did a burner inserter don't produce pollution?

Seems like that PC is *very* old. You could give a RAM upgrade a try. There’s some on Newegg right now for less than $30.

Adding pollution to any inserter would have a performance penalty on ALL inserters. Inserters are already one of the most expensive entities in performance cost. Doing a quick check of “if inserter.pollution then” or similar in the same block of code that makes it consume energy would hardly affect...

Thanks for the report, the tooltip won't show any pollution in the next version.

Shouldn't a burner inserter produce pollution, though? I mean, it's burning stuff in order to operate....

Interesting read, though it sounds like it's still a very new process. While making such a mod would be fairly easy, I know if I were to make it, I'd make sulfuric acid a required ingredient (as mentioned in the article that was one of the things used and is already available in game). As such, it'd...

I don’t feel as though turret rotation is necessarily too slow, but I do wish it would attempt to follow the mouse pointer rather than defaulting straight forward when not being used. Would make the opening salvo easier to do. Otherwise, yeah, it is rather hard to drive at times and does feel like i...

Thanks for the link. As I was considering on using the radius argument to allow it to span the gaps, it occurred to me that if I also rounded the locomotive's position values that were being fed in, it would help make sure that the function was always scanning the middle of the tiles. Anyways, this ...

LuaSurface.find_entities_filtered

Ah, thank you! I'll look this over and see if it helps me understand it better.

EDIT: I'm having a hard time finding any info on surface.find_entities_filtered. Anyone got a link to it on the wiki? Hi, So I'm working on updating a mod created by someone else (Diesel Locomotive) where the mod checks for the existence of pumps adjacent to the locomotive by using the find_entities...

I would really like to know this as well.

Maybe give this a try and see if it’s to your liking?

There are others, too, that do this with just concrete.

In %appdata%\factorio\mods there’s a mods-lists.lua (or simialr... on phone, can’t look) file that you can use to manually disable mods.

If you search the mod portal, there are a few different mods that handle the excess wood. This is one that I use: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Wood_Gasification

There is also one that handles it by turning the wood into (char)coal.

With the fluid changes in 0.17, could this be revived? I'm wondering the same thing. So specifying a list/array of different accepted fluids isn't supported in the fluidbox at all, and would currently murder performance if it was hacked in (going through a whole list of accepted types for all filte...

Im just trying to make the point that the orientation of the insertor should be the deciding factor as It makes more sense to me and it give me (the player) more control🤓 https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Bobingabout/bobinserters Now you have total control ! I do agree that it COULD have been the deci...

Hey, I sent you a PM back earlier with the updated mod attached. :) Yeah, onlyme and myself Pm’d back and forth a few times. We got the pumps to work with the energy_source.type = “void”... I was using it wrong. :lol: When using them as tanks, I noticed a couple issues with the speed of pumping the ...

* Oh, here is another wishlist item for train mods: speed limits for blocks. Since we can show our block areas on maps, why not set speed limits? (Say this urban area I often cross, set to 50kph) I agree. It would be nice to limit speed at railyard areas for more realistic look and safe operations....
