Re: Wiki revived

Very good. Many things to correct, but much better.
If you have the pics also in higher resolution, you should upload them please, because for example the station is badly visible... You can place them in the text compressed, if you add "|300px" after the pic-name.

Re: The Alt Key

Sure that would work for now and the near future, but there will be some point where you might have lots of different layers and do not want to learn all the keybindings for them. My experience with that is, that you lay the keys in some order on the keyboard, the player can just try it out. Learni...

Re: The Alt Key

We are nearly together. Instead of an own ui I would prefer keys. Technically- as said above - I mean the alt key should be used with other keys. And practically: it works so in many other games. One key to show another information level and other keys to turn in this level the different information...

Re: The Alt Key

It would make sense to have a key for every layer. Like M for map and P for production, some keys, which lay directly together.

Edit: 6-0 would be a good usage for that.

Then the alt key would be free for more useful stuff. :)

Re: My observations from playing the game (Trains/wishlist)

I mean it should have a story. But why only one? When I think back to the ideas in this thread and at some others! I come to the conclusion that there are so many, that it would be a pity not have them all. :) And how could that be? Of course not with logical explainable stories. There are two sorts...

Re: Limit production with Logistics system?

JIT - just in time. Or as you said in real time. It means, that there is just so much storage as affordable, because the stuff is produced, when you need. Or in other words: the buffers between your production cycles are as small as possible. (BTW: In Factorio, not only chests count as buffer, the b...

Re: Fight

With one of his statement I think he is right: fight is in my eyes sometimes (!) frustrating. You have so many possibilities to equip and need to configure and do some things, that if you forget one step or choose the wrong equipment, you die. Like in reality. And like in reality I think the things ...

Re: My observations from playing the game (Trains/wishlist)

I mean this is an excellent idea, because in most cases, the resources are, where the native live. So this is one of the best reasons to begin building tracks. And when you have the first track then the second is not much more afford. Additionally, the more tracks you have, the more complicated it i...

Re: Limit production with Logistics system?

Another solution is not to use storage chests, only providers and requesters, because then the items are only moved from a provider into requester and in that case it is valid to only plug the requester and inserter, as described above. (I never will understand, why I should produce more than 10000 ...

Re: Rail Signals? Still don't get em

Generally spoken: - a block is from signal to signal and if there is a train or parts inside, the block is busy. A signals looks, if the block, in which it looks is busy, if yes it is red. - logical: place signals in both directions. Otherwise you make some one-way-track. - Make many blocks to avoid...

Re: Version 0.7.3

Only for completeness: The bug happens only, when loading a game. So it is currently not a total fail. If the smart inserter is used as filter only, then he does nothing anymore. If he is connected with wires, then it becomes the problem described by BurnHard.

Re: Riddle (not easy)

Not understood. Prisoner 1 takes slot 1 and in the slot, there is (what a luck) the number 2. So he opens slot 2 and there lays 3 ... and so on. The chances that he finds his number is for the first slot 1:100, for the second 2:100, 3:100 and so on until 50:100. And now I got lost, because when adde...

Perhaps not relevant to this bug.

I had no time to make more tests this evening, but promise to. One problem keeps (the reas...

Re: Scarcity Of Iron

I mean that overtop drawing should be avoided at all. If there is an resource and another should be drawn overtop, then instead the second resources is drawn around the first. A bit like when I take a full chest while my inventory is full. :)

Re: Preventing nearby bases

Don't see that problem. It is part of the physics in the game engine, it doesn't make sense to hide it. And if there are hidden borders I want to see them, because I don't like to count. The equivalent to the real world: I have some ground and I need to count my steps all the time, because otherwise...

Yes, teleporter/gates doesn't fit into the game right from beginning. But I think the gameplay needs here a simple element to speed up traveling. It must not be a teleporter/gate! Anything, which speeds that up is welcome. Faster walk, faster car... ... My vision from faster travel is by a helicopte...
