Multiple demands of tire and chain tracks are a sure sign for the GFX entering the uncanny valley. Stop right here or be prepared to improve GFX for the next ten years...

But yes, animated grass and bushes would be nice, as would be weather like rain or fog.

Almost all non-blocking windows backups use the built in shadow copy feature.

Shadow copy can create snapshots of files and volumes. To use that with a Factorio game state, it has first to become a file...

Sure, but now you've just transferred the storage problem from large quantities of DU items to large quantities of bullets and cannon round items. Just go killing some nests! Apart from that obvious solution, i am of the opinion, that Factorio indeed needs some "real" waste management and...

Reality doesn't translate to fun game mechanics.

Except when it does. Depleted uranium rounds are a good example for that. While still a simplification, it is definitely fun to kill biters with them - i tested that in countless hours.

You can make DU bullets and DU cannon rounds with 238U "DU" ingame can't you?

Yes, we can.

Such a change would need some form of disposing of the unwanted depleted uranium....

In the real world, uranium projectiles are made of depleted uranium...

That text colour isn't bad, I would be content reading a web page with that theme, because the text is a mid-grey, not the almost white that the factorio main page has. The Factorio main page can be set to black-on-white with the following style in Stylus: body { background: none !important; color:...

Your interpretation. I just answered questions.

I accept that you don't want to reveal what shortcut Mac users are trained to use for "executing" list items where mere selection is also a useful thing to have. I will not ask further questions about that.

As said: a single click calls the standard action on Mac.

So Mac users expect a single click on a server in the multiplayer server list to initiate a connect instead of just selecting the server and displaying some information?

Cmd-O? Hm. It makes no sense, because a Mac user opens an application just by clicking on it. From the Mac perspective it would make sense too press ALT while clicking. For “alternative open”. Not really. ;) I obviously am not a Mac user, so i don't know, what Mac users expect. But don't the Mac us...

There is another same mod Burner-Leech that uses vanilla-side logic, that can be enabled just with: The vanilla-side logic is enabled in my mod too. The issue occured in the refuel-cheat logic, wich regularly feeds made-up items having a tiny amount of power to burner inserters wich are out of powe...

Got this error loading a save today. Playing with full Angel, Bob, Clowns and Omni. I added a check to ensure a fuel value greater than zero. This should prevent the fuel cheat from trying to feed the inserters with an item wich's prototype is defined to be in the accepted fuel category but having ...

I'ts just an interaction they're not used to. It's a bit like driving a manual for someone who has never seen 3 pedals in a car. That is, why every action has to be rebindable to other keys, buttons, or combinations of both. As a trackball user i very well know that because i have no mousewheel... ...

as far as i could see, you (Oktokolo) have four mods, all of them being updated for 0.18, some having fixed problems and/or include new features, and in a discussion on the mod portal you wrote that you yourself don't keep your own mods usable for the last stable : > I don't backport. > But if you ...

The thing is that there was no reason to make mods with obsolete keywords that did nothing for years not to load at all. It would have been enough to display a warning on load that the mod is using some outdated code. They removed the lagacy code handling the old setting value to reduce the amount ...

Yes, I probably shouldn't play the alpha. This was somewhat unintentional (was using the 0.17.x beta and forgot that experimental updates were enabled, hit "update" as usual... whoops). Just downgrade back to stable and ignore the changes. When this changes hit stable, mods are probably a...

since most people into the genre probably already got the game since it is one of the most well received early access titles ever. And those who haven't bought it yet will probably need more convincing than there just being a 1.0 slapped on the package. Yes, that may be the case with Factorio. It i...

In your case i did not approve it because you continued a discussion that ended 4 years ago.

But how are new apprentices supposed to learn the art of necromancy then?

But I'm also getting slightly tired of watching the devs polish the game. Apart from mods there are also other games you could play. Waiting for 1.0.0 is a valid strategy for satisfaction maximization. 1.0.0 will be quite shiny and most mods of all categories did not even start development as their...

It's easy to flip a sprite, just scale the x axis by -1.

The shadow would probably look odd for flipped sprites (with and without also flipping the shadow).
