Re: Is there a way to see accumulator capacity graph

Have a different opinion. An extra line in the history-graph with the current load-state of the accus would make much sense.
I would like to have an extra window for that, painting in all the other informations, which cannot be sorted into one of the others. This window needs also not to be so big.

Re: Role playing direction

You gain power not through exp, but through making new weapons, and armor. As irl, if i need to hunt bear,i will not do it through physical training and then strangling bear with bare hands . i will use rifle=). Automatic preferably.

Hm. Dunno. I prefer a web interface, because I know, that nothing can interfere. I don't trust those apps.

But I would give it a try.

Re: Electric Network Stats

I know they know. The point is, that the average is sometimes a misleading function and to find that out you need more information. Hm. The "spreading", or in terms of math the standard deviation, the median and/or the distribution is very helpful for such cases. http://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

Smart inserter

When connecting a smart inserter to a circuit the inserter begins immediately to work, because no condition is set. I found no use for that behavior (does anybody have one or is one planned?), so I would like to suggest that one condition should be set, before the inserter does anything.

Yes. There are only a few choices you can do to open the big doors. All others are more or less flat.

Re: Electric Network Stats

@FrozenOne: What is available energy? You can say that for one device, but for a group this is difficult. What does availability mean, if you have 10 steam engines working with 100% and 10 with 0%? Or the clouds (introduced with v0.8) influence the solar panels? And how would you calculate availabil...

Re: Electric Network Stats

I'm not saying it is a bad idea, just that it carries complications. What I would recommend is that IF they wished to implement this information, that it be optional and defaulted to off. That way new players are not misled into thinking they have more power than they actually do. Because they will...

Re: Electric Network Stats

Hm. The idea is cool, but it assumes, that the power is also available. This means: the sun is shining, the steam engines drive at best performance and all accus are full. When did that happen? Easter? :) But yes, the bar is fine (I would call it "maximum production"), when a second bar is...

Making screenshots

Joined -- ssilk Yesterday, when I made some screenshots for the wiki I thought: to make the wiki nicer we (forum/wiki users) should update all pics to the new style, introduced with 0.8.

Automatic update didn't work this time. So I made it myself. After installing it told me, that it can't be started, because it is from a non-certified developer. :) Ok, I made it myself: macpro:factorio.app ssilk$ ./Contents/MacOS/factorio Downloading https://www.factorio.com/updater/get-available-v...
