Oh, Wube, you're spoiling us...



No! No, carry on, carry on...

Dudes -- the Factorio cliffs are beautiful, I really like them, but from a game-internal view they are nothing else than a impassable, unmineable wall . There is no "up" and "down", not even the concept of it! So "diagonal" pipes or belts, shooting "uphill" o...

I would like to take this opportunity to ask modders to keep this in mind, as I have noticed multiple mods using 1.0 Alpha values in colour mask tint. The Alpha is black magic, keep it at 0.5 please. If the functionality of your "alpha" is not the same as the alpha-channel to set opacity ...

Meh, I'm through with them.

You should always use explicit parens anyway, instead of EVER depending on precedence and associativity, because it's SO easy to get it wrong (like assuming && and || have the same precedence, which is an easy sensible mistake to make, but that's just how it is: an arbitrary convention) and...

Der Fünfkampf nach dem TV-Duell (ARD, 04.09.2017, 77 Min.) Sonia Mikich und Christian Nitsche sprechen mit den Spitzenpolitikern der Oppositionsparteien, der CSU und der Parteien, denen sehr gute Chancen zum Einzug in den Bundestag vorhergesagt werden, über wichtige Themen vor der Bundestagswahl. h...

Insane!

Hier im Off-Topic-Bereich möchte ich darauf hinweisen, dass der Wahl-O-Mat für die Bundestagswahl 2017 nun online verfügbar ist. Startseite: https://www.bpb.de/politik/wahlen/wahl-o-mat/254930/bundestagswahl-2017 Seit 2002 gibt es den Wahl-O-Mat der bpb. Mittlerweile hat er sich zu einer festen Info...

Would it help to reduce the memory latency by converting some/most of the pointer indirections between items and objects in memory to a more array-like structure, over which the logic and the memory access can just iterate instead of jump around? And once you have a, say, 1024-objects-in-a-array sla...

I also propose CRC -> SHA-* as you don't use it permanently (only when loading/saving) so performance hit is a non-issue and it's more future-proof.
Actually, I was astounded to get to know you use a meager CRC for creating object-hashes...

Wow, all of these sound like a really good idea -- Make it so !

Well done! I was in the process to create a chunk-aligbed railsystem myself, with 8-blue-belt load/unload stations with led indicators and everything -- I think I can now stop that :D The modules you created are very very similar to mine so I can drop my designs in peace. Would you like some screen...

Here you are :) (see attachment to post) It's my most recent savegame, alas from Factorio version 0.12.30, but it should import fine into 0.15 (modulo Alien Artifacts, new tech and recipes, new red/blue underground belt lengths, the optional Nixie Tubes-mod, ...) Happy tinkering! - and thanks for yo...

I unfortunately deleted a copy of your save dee and the link no longer works. In particular I was trying to recall your design for Solar Panels but can't seem to get it as compact as I remember. Are you able to upload another copy of your save or a copy of your latest version if you have one? Hi :)...

There are some glow-related properties for heat pipe in entity.lua. I tried modifying them, but they don't do anything. However, if you think realistically, if the pipes are glowing, it means they fail to keep the heat energy inside them. Heat energy is lost from their surface. Anything touching th...

Bestest devs ever!

In fact, they're not, although very close.
The accumulator grey is different (more reddish) than the concrete tile color (more greyish): you can see it in the upper red box you marked.

For my new chunk-aligned base I use this contraption as a wagon-to-belt unloading station: http://i.imgur.com/c8ZY2wA.jpg It is able to unload a (L)CCCCL> train into buffer chests and those chests to 8 fully compressed blue belts (for higher throughput demands). The design is not as flat as yours (6...

I just want a Debian repository for automatic updates
