Unfortunately wouldn't work. The CPU architecture is different, you can't run x86 binaries on ARM. Well, you could run it through something like QEMU but then your performance goes out of the window. You might be able to get it to boot Factorio, but I doubt it will be playable. I hope someone will ...

is this thing on?

It does not matter if it is on or not. Depending on the type of mic you use, tapping it can cause damage/break it.

Don't tap on microphones.

This is just a guess at what Caine was getting at but I think the difference between a main bus and chest buffers is that the chest buffers, albeit having a higher capacity, are actually actively used while the main bus concept has a lot of product not being actively used due to its massive sprawli...

Goed bezig

I agree with tobin, looks great. There is no such thing as overkill in Factorio

Most performance improvements seemed to be independent of the rendering pipeline. As for this change, time will tell but I am not that worried. The developers are pretty dedicated to make the game perform well.

Picture: A user interface is like a joke. If you have to explain it, it's not that good I disagree. It depends on the goal of the user interface. If high productivity is your goal then a learning curve is often necessary. It is nearly impossible to make a tool simpler than its domain and there are ...

Yeah! When you want to build a belt megabase, you need spaghetti! No you need trains, modular factory complexes and local minimum distance belt transport (ignoring bots for the moments since this is a belt vs bots topic). View it like this: all items on a saturated main bus will never get used. It ...

Frankly, what is needed to be on-par with bots is a (near) infinite capacity "bulk belt" for main bus lines, which splitters can then split items off from. I disagree. The problem here is that a belt based main bus is just poor factory design. It is the easiest way to play, but it does no...

When you have a specific number of items in hand then ctrl-inserting should insert that many but keep the same number of items in your hand instead of a full stack.

I know it's can be achieved by eg. changing constant Combinator variables or similar designs, but... is to many clicks, menus, slider dragging and searching for propper icon... I just realized that you can copy/pasting of constant combinator values for this. So set up a three constant combinators: ...

Perhaps we should just have a modifier to toggle a constant combinator on/off instead. Now we have to open the GUI, toggle and close it again.

For the rest: TL;DR. Add an abstract if you are going to post a wall of text. An abstract? Oh, sorry. I essentially mean a brief summary. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_(summary) You did have a short version included, but it doesn't really say anything meaningful but starts rambling abo...

I wasn't around during the whole bots versus belts debacle of that one FFF, so I wanted to provide my take on things, even though its yet another topic on it. Indeed. The old topic is still open as far as I know. Just add your opinion there. And read it before you post, "don't nerf bots, buff ...

I agree with the problem. I do not have enough information to judge the solution.

It is a long time ago that I tried anything with Blender, but I do recall it being a pretty steep learning curve.

But from the looks of it, you are either a pretty fast learner or you have a lot of spare time :p

Let us not contribute to this nonsense about nuclear explosions in reactors. It does not happen in real life and never has.

It is misinformation which causes unfounded fear in people for nuclear power. Nuclear power has risks and challenges, but an atomic bomb like explosion is not one of them.

-(i²)

Right, I am not even sure how I know that it works this way, perhaps from an FFF.

Well,.. I suppose a tiny message would make some sense.

The behavior is a problem as it differs from the behavior of other assamblers mainly stopping production if output is full. It is not an assembler. If your main goal is just to launch as many missiles as possible, you don't even want it to block when your science consumption cannot keep up. Really,...

This problem is very easily resolved with a trivial circuit network and some buffer chests. I do not see a problem with the current behaviour.
