Science pack 3 is red circuits + engine units + electric mining drills. Electric mining drills are easy, just combine copper cable+iron plate->electric circuits, iron plate->iron gears and iron plate. Engine units are also easy, just combine iron plate->pipe, iron plate->gear and iron plate->steel. ...

Maybe 'print' sends a message only to a specific user, so you need to call it on a specific user so only that user sees the message?

You can use debug mode to check what is taking the most time during updates: https://wiki.factorio.com/Debug_mode F4 Find show_time_used_percent, turn it on https://forums.factorio.com/download/file.php?id=8367 Then you can disconnect different parts of your base from the power grid one by one, and ...

Thanks for your time : D

You should be able to delete a blueprint by right clicking it in your inventory then clicking the red 'trash' icon.

IIRC it works like this:
-Factorio only tries to dispatch 1 construction bot to construct 1 ghost per tick
-After 10 seconds, the warning for failing to construct something disappears
-10 seconds * 60 ticks per second + 1 = 601 warnings maximum

I believe you are correct. (So at that point it makes more sense to add production or efficiency instead.)

You could, but it's the same amount of work as (or more work than), and less secure, than running a stronger cryoptographic hash, which is the original suggestion. (There is some good discussion on WHAT hash to use in https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=50663&start=80 ) Strictl...

ok how bout this for a challenge. show us two blueprints someone would actually use . :P By what metric? There is somebody who would use _every_ valid blueprint, even if only for decoration or a compendium of every single possible blueprint. --- That said, just matching a CRC to detect duplicate bl...

This is how it works in Game Maker and Construct 2, IIRC.

That didn't take long for someone to find a collision!

After a bug fix in 0.15.27, the Creative Mode mod is unable to run. Until the author of Creative Mode updates, either turn off Creative Mode mod or revert to 0.15.26.

There was a change to modding in .27: 'Fixed that mods could do remote calls outside of events when the game isn't in a valid state.' This breaks any mod that does this as part of normal operation, including Creative Mode. Until the author of Creative Mode fixes the mod, you won't be able to use it ...

If construction bots can remotely deconstruct and construct machines, and you can deconstruct and reconstruct a machine to set its default settings, maybe construction bots should remotely carry out any changes you make in the radar remote view. :D (I know this would be a PAIN to code, but it logica...

I mean if all 128 general midi instruments aren't available, what's the point, right?

This happens with flame turrets too, fyi.

I don't know when this will be out, but it looks really cool!

I can't find the thread, but I remember this was suggested before. The suggestion had two parts: Stackifier - transforms a signal (N, item) into how many items would be able to fit in N stacks of that item, e.g. (2, green circuit) would become (400, green circuit) Unstackifier - transforms a signal ...

Out of curiosity does any game simulate AC/DC and voltages and so on that isn't an outright circuit simulator program? When I first learned about the different poles in Factorio I was worried that I was going to have to learn all of it, but my fears were quickly abated when I actually placed one :lol:

ATM when I dream about playing a video game there's about a 50% chance that there'll be some Factorio like element inside of it (usually the belts).
