Would a recipe input of either/or ever work?

Does anyone think/know if it is (will ever be) possible to have recipes that can use one of n inputs and make something of it? Im thinking of A1 OR A2 plus B = C A1 OR A2 plus B1 OR B2 = C I'd have an idea for a mod which could benefit from something like this It would not be exactly like upgrading ...

Re: In-game changelog viewer order

He might be talking about mod versions in the "download" tab, but iirc they are ordered newest first. Other than that, as it's just displaying a txt. file, we can only point authors to the changelog tutorial , where iirc an order suggestion isn't even mentioned. And I doubt you'd get peopl...

Re: pY Alternative Energy - Discussion

In the announcement of this mod, as I understand it, it is indicated that this mod is not compatible ("too much work") with some of your other works, such as high-tech and alien life. AFAIK, this mod will be compatible with the full pyanodon mod set. Just not with other major mods, e.g. A...

Re: Mod Request: Railroad crossing block

Doubt that's possible beyond using normal gates+rails with hidden entities (signals+wires)

One may as well use a blueprint

Re: Wood used for infrastructure recipes

Use wooden sticks for a foundation thingie that every building/machine needs to be assembled. Could run through prototypes that are placeable and add it to every such recipe, to include mods as well?
Could be replaced by concrete for AM mk3 or something.

Wood/bricks/concrete for belt foundations?

Re: Gravity Electricity storage / stone use

Is it possible to link acumulator prototype properties with miner/pumpjack ones? Only placeable on (new resource) mine shafts.
Like for example pY implements lots of special deep mines for almost any resource.

Re: Why aren't these robots repairing the walls? Makes manual repair take forever.

Part of a roboport network, port based bots already on the way? They'd need to have repair packs aviable, in chests or roboport, then they'd get a repair job assigned. If the job is already assigned, your personal bots won't do anything. The land based ones could be miles away, the game won't abort ...

Re: Design Help Needed: Wireless Power

Not put much thought into it while having breakfast :lol: But what about hidden energy consuming entities in large power poles?

Re: Version 1.1.31

If it's only a few hours the translators are asking for, and it's not critical bugs which cause hundreds of crash reports and need a hotfix, I don't see a reason why we couldn't wait another day. It's been said above, there is no schedule for releases, so a patch can never be "late". Trans...

Re: [1.1.31] Player model invisible in a corner of pipes

Not sure about ALT mode and pipe contents, but this looks to me as if the character isn't hidden behind the underground pipe, but the sulfuric acid icon

Re: Artillery priority issues

Whether this is a bug or not, running into aggroed biters is something you have to deal with yourself. If you load a gun, you have to assume it will be in range of something and therefore shoot it. It might be in an active but yet unrevealed chunk. Therefore you have to protect it and not stand in t...

I recently noticed that it doesn't ask me, but I thought it was always that way in Factorio :roll: The only confirmation I remember is if you want to leave without saving. I think of it more as a feature than a bug. Are you sure? Are you REALLY sure? Last chance to make sure you are sure you want to...

Older savegames from previous games are working.

So i lost hundreds of hours of work :(
If the "older games" you tested have not autosaved while testing them, your auto save should have a working version from "zwölfter versuch"
