Re: [2.0.20] bot turn back is out of sync on remote clients. also not pathing over lakes per FFF 374

It may be helpful if the roboports could be set to a maximum in addition to a minimum (similar to requestor chests, etc), as this could be used to prevent the entire base supply of logi bots from collecting at the far end of a delivery location.

[2.0.20] bot turn back is out of sync on remote clients. also not pathing over lakes per FFF 374

There are some scenarios where remote clients think bots change direction at a different time than the server. It appears the remote assumes the bot is going full speed for some time after it turns, but then has to reset the bot location as if it turned back at its out of power speed. Note that for ...

Re: Friday Facts #394 - Assembler flipping and circuit control

From the FFF:

If the copy-paste does not alter the rotation, then it should also not alter the flip. Copy-paste of this type everywhere else in the game ...

Re: Do not pause game when looking at research in single player


I am against this. I want to play in a relaxed manner and it helps me to pause the game when I'm in the tech tree and think about what I want to research next.
If the suggestion should be implemented, please make it optional so that everyone can decide whether the game should continue or be paused ...

Never modded Factorio though, so not sure if there are some unexpected restrictions.

About measurements. Can we change methodology here? Working errors out with rounded numbers is painful. We can get a much better measurements this way: run setup for n ticks and remember T total amount of fluid passed through. Then T/n will give us what we need. Just doing so for 2000 ticks ...

Hey Bilka, since you're going 'deep' on fluids, figured I'd ask if fluid wagon loading was ever sorted? I bring that up because it was one of those edge cases where max flow was not actually 12,000/s. Understood the list on the wiki doesn't mention ...

Re: Do not pause game when looking at research in single player


It’s not so, that the devs have nothing todo. And their internal list is surely sorted by game-play-value multiplied with the reversed implementation effort. Something like this.


If it was sorted as you state, then a fix that had high game-play-value and a minimal 1/implementation-effort would ...

Re: Personal robots prioritizing nearest first


Assumin the player doesn't move then the total distance traveled by all bots is the same no matter what order enities are placed. The amount of recharging needed is directly dependent on the distance traveled and the overall build time is the sum of time to travel the distance + recharge time. So ...
