Re: [MOD 0.14] Alien Biomes

Hi, after updating I can't load my 0.15 save: "Reached id limit for noise-layer. The game can't contain more than 255 instances of this prototype due to hardcoded limits of the engine." Though starting a new game works ok. Without Alien Biomes enabled the save is loaded with no errors. I h...

Re: Monolithic station entity (with LTN support)

Unfortunately, this mod doesn't support shared buffers between multiple cargo wagons. When I use stations with variable train length shorter trains may eat all forward buffers while last buffer is still full and signaling so to LTN.

Monolithic station entity (with LTN support)

Often for belt stations we have to use cheaty mods like Merged Chests (wide chests) and loaders. If you don't like to have them in game you have to accept that your trains will wait like I described here or may have performance or belt balancing issues. Also belt stations use too much space, often m...

Re: Ignore delivery timeout when train is at station

Depots should be treated as train service areas. Remove fluid/item residues and refill locomotives with fuel. Without special mods you can't unload fluids without filtering them and you know you can't filter them currently. Once again use zuri loader or chest mods and wire the buffer to ltn not wha...

Re: Ignore delivery timeout when train is at station

3. Unbalanced unloading. Personally I use min=max train length for unloaders to avoid waiting but there is still another issue when requested amount is less than train capactiy: Loader station after previous loading have some wagon chests full and some empty which causes next train wagons to be fill...

Re: Ignore delivery timeout when train is at station

Yeah, this would help to balance chests for single wagon. But this is not what I mean by unbalanced stations. 1. Unbalanced usage of incoming items in 3-wagon* requester stations. There is no 100% throughput 3-1..3 belt balancers with balanced input. 2. Unbalanced loading: I have a 4-wagons loader s...

Re: Ignore delivery timeout when train is at station

Stations are already over-complicated and take too much place for such common entity (if you use belts). I forgot to say that I disabled stop-timeout for unloading because I would never want a loaded train to go into depot since there is no way to get rid of unwanted fluids automatically. And of cou...

Ignore delivery timeout when train is at station

Sometimes unloading to unequally filled chests may cause waiting. Sending another train with the same delivery will only make it worse. I suggest to add a check for train state and ignore delivery timeout when it is one of these: defines.train_state.on_the_path defines.train_state.arrive_signal defi...

Re: Default thresholds formula suggestion

I think that by default it's ok to assume that a player uses only vanilla wagons which have the same capacity unless you lock their slots. When a station declares that it accepts trains from 2 to 4 cargo wagons (or with locomotives min=3, max=5) I would use average count 3. As I understand this does...

Default thresholds formula suggestion

I use this formula so my trains won't run half-full: threshold = avg [cargo or fluid wagons count] * [40 (Cargo stacks) * stack size or 25000 for fluids]. Is it possible to implement it into mod as an option for default threshold when only one item is requested? Of course there should be a setting t...

Logistics slot requests presets

TL;DR
Possibility to store and load logistics slots that are needed for different purposes.
Why ?
E.g. you need different requests for normal play and building a wall with laser turrets.

Re: [MOD 0.15.x] Mining Space Industries

Hi, thanks for your mod. I just want to say that the night boss is too strong. I encountered it on 73% evolution. It spawned near other enemy bases so when I came there was already too much enemies following me. I had a tank with a flamethrower and it was impossible to kill that thing. So after two ...

Re: Mixed fluid loader station is not utilized

I already have that rounding error but that 0.3 stucked fluid was somehow auto-removed when another fluid goes into. It worked several times with no errors. May be this thing was fixed. Btw I'm still using 0.15. Could you check my build please? It's very simple, the pipes are working only when there...
