FYI as to what might be done, there's also this mod, IIRC I took inspiration from it when balancing BobDiggity :

Thank you! That video costed me more time and effort than the mod itself.

It's private now...

downloaded, used, loved

Could you re-upload it please ? (or MrDoomah could set it to public again...)

I think I managed to update Extendo-Reach for 0.17+ :

I think I managed to update it for 0.17+ :
(currently 1.1, but compatibility with other 0.17+ should be as easy as changing factorio_version in info.json ?)

Still, could be useful : Extendo-Reach by ntm https://assets-mod.factorio.com/assets/fb5dede4005e39638073911be3613bd1a448d1f2.thumb.png When you just need to reach the top-shelf, it's the the Extendo-Reach Exoskeletal Robotic Grabber Arm. Each one will extend your reach by 4 units. Still can't reach...

My base is extremely modded and got pretty big : I used to have stuttering when moving around and/or zooming out. After lowering sprite resolution from «High» (basically for UHD-1) to «Normal» (basically for FullHD), that specific issue went away, and the gameplay is smooth even though it's around 3...

Heads up for newly released Exotic Industries having issues with steam assemblers : exotic_indstries_bug.png Speed should be 0.5 (and steam shouldn't be negative) - note that the popup shows a speed limitation warning like with speed modules... might be related to the changes the mod makes to beacon...

These might help :

A hint might be that the manual (?) savegame is called «nilaus» - and since I assume you aren't Nilaus (?), there might be some difference between his Factorio (and OS ?) and yours ??

P.S.: Also, what kind of gigantic factory is this save for ?!

AFAIK these days OSes consider unused RAM to be wasted RAM : https://superuser.com/questions/437918/how-do-i-find-whats-eating-up-all-of-my-systems-memory-not-superfetch https://superuser.com/questions/1338367/why-is-my-memory-at-65-usage-when-im-not-running-any-programs/1338621#1338621 The same mig...

What about /autoclamp ? (You might need to have a pipe in the cursor to toggle clamp mode on specific pipes.) (Still, see above for the issues with non-straight pipes.) <CTRL SHIFT C> might be overridden by another mod for you ? Pipe highlighter doesn't work either... Version: 1.1.4 Date: 2022-06-05...

What is Foreman ? No mods seem to correspond. Helmod can now do it, for instance : helmod_wood_to_syngas_power.png helmod_wood_to_syngas_power_2.png H4sIAAAAAAAA/+1Z3Y6juBJ+lVH21iD8C2jEXuwjRHs3GkVOcDKoCUT8TE+rxbtvATaYxEl3uveoW2eHCwc7+HNV+atyUaTll7zcyfzLJnnO0mR1LFOVb2gg 4hUqHwtVJau/8lb9rY6nXFYrtIWnH+...

Most likely ! Also later you might (still, in v2 ?) be able to profitably convert that biomass into things like raw coal (and helium 3, propene...) though that requires some quartz. But it depends what efficient means to *you*, because there are multiple dimensions to consider. For my part, in pY AL...

Well, this is for the devs to decide.

I would also note that at some zoom levels this gives the impression that belts are going in reverse, which isn't great either...

Ah, is it though ?

Maybe some kind of dithering could help here ? I suggest looking into how cathodic era game emulators do scan lines...

1. is "Pycoal touched by an angel" truly and finally dead, as in it will never be worked on again to make pymods compatible with other things? Uh, AFAIK it hasn't been working since pY Alien Life released ? At least I am pretty sure it wasn't working at this moment in time , so As2piK use...

It's not so much Factorio that is an issue here, but pY having had a HUGE «2.0» update, and the unofficial pY pollution and energy mod hasn't been updated . It still is around on the mod server, just deprecated : https://mods.factorio.com/mod/pypollution I suggest that for games started with «pY 1.0...

I guess it hasn't been all (re-)balanced yet ? There were indeed some issues there with pY AL «1.0». On the matter of inserters: The changes to burner inserters (now mechanical inserters, due to the very sensible removal of any fuel requirement) are absolutely vital. Filtered inserters and undergrou...
