I'm pretty sure there are visual editors for Lua.

And what are Factorio combinators if not a visual programming language?

AAI Automation already exists.

The "use signal as tone" on the speaker is just doing an array lookup on the instrument. It's not doing anything clever. As for MIDITorio, it's got a nice compact memory decoder, and it generates the huge memory cells for you. It doesn't do memory compression though. Just concatination (st...

Or just ascend this mod. (It wouldn't even make sound bigger than graphics)

:lol: Seem like someone has been waiting for that day ! The real question is when did this topic get moved to "Implemented in 2.0"? Was it today? Yes. For the suggestions at least, it seems they don't move em until it's announced. Thank goodness for that. Now I don't need to make a thousa...

Where did you hear this outside of colour-blind support conversations?

obviously yes. speaking for myself i wouldn't complain about keeping such a thing a unsupported beta Except this is WUBE. Their "unsupported beta" branch is less buggy than triple-A games that have been out for decades. And they're not going to want to change that. Though I am curious if ...

So, we all know MIDItorio , but a common problem when using it is that most songs run into issues where instruments need a wider range of octaves than are availible. And it's normally only a few notes up or down that are missing, so one extra octave up and down would probably be enough. So could you...

No, DRM-free doesn't mean it's got a spawn license.

It just means the devs don't hate their customers.

This is what the virtual signals are for.

And it would take an engine change to do this, since virtual signal names are set at mod load.

That might just be floating point precision for you. What is helmod supposed to do about it? round the result instead of ceil? Round it to the nearest 5 figures and then ceil to the display precision? I did say it's a floating point error at the start. And the ways to deal with floating point error...

Floating point error: Shown easily with the following setup: Assembler 3s with 4 Prod 3s. 8 Speed 3 Beacons per assembler. 7.7 Vanilla Red Science per second should need 5 assemblers. Helmod says 6. Floating point issue confirmed by asking for 7.69r Red Science per second. You can set the precision...

I guess the use for this is if a section of rail is increadably bursty?

So everything wants to go one way, then everything wants to go the other way.

Would a 3-lane system with a variable middle lane be easier to set up safely?

I'm the complete opposite, I use icons specifically so that I can fully define a train stop name in 2 characters. Having the item names show would completely defeat the point, and massively clutter my map view. I also use logi chests to denote provider/supplier station status, and having the name th...

for a display board A limited bignum implementation in combinators should not be too difficult, especially since you're only adding in scalars. If the accumulator is larger than 1 billion decimal, subtract 1 billion from it and increment the next accumulator up. I guess that would be 3 or 4 combina...

This is unlikely to happen unless we would update Lua to something newer than 5.2. If circuit network signals would have values based on 64 bit integers then scripts would have a hard time setting some values since all values in lua 5.2 are based on a `double` which cannot represent all 64 bit inte...

This also would not require the game to be run in 64-bit (if its not already) since you should just be able to assign 2 number slots per signal As someone who's had to do that, it's a mess. Anything you're doing in particular that needs more than 32 bits? The biggest thing is actually to do with FF...
