It seems the "0.11.x" version 0.6.0 is actually the "0.12" version.

And how does that work for people with Macs?

Some people just want to watch the world burn... *ahem* Yeah, this would be neat, but remember the lesson of Dwarf Fortress and fire: unless there's a go-to way to deal with fire, and the code for units to use it (burning biters should seek the nearest extinguishment doodad above all else), it is lu...

local StackSize = 1000 for _,dat in pairs(data.raw) do for _,items in pairs(dat) do if items.stack_size and items.stack_size > 1 and items.stack_size < StackSize then items.stack_size = StackSize end end end Stack size of 1000 is currently larger than anything in the game, but you never know...

Why is everyone saying that the pathfinding for the bots will be expensive? Pathfinding for biters and such is expensive because there are a lot of potential ways to arrive at any point P between points A and B. Each little 1m x 1 m square is a potential point the biter can arrive in (or blocked fro...

We need, if not a blacklist filter inserter in the default game, at least a hook into the inserter prototype to mod one. I've checked some inserter mods as well as the prototype definition. There's no way to invert the sense of the filter from a regular whitelist (as it is now) to a blacklist. And I...

But yeah, Minecraft does use "plain easy config files" exclusively. Adding a launcher won't change that. And thats not only minecraft, it's almost everywhere, if you want an extra instance you've to set up it by yourself. And befor someone comes with a third party launcher ala FTB, nope t...

Do they use a plain text file even for their now-quite-old launcher? I thought I saw human-unfriendly xml being involved. Also adding a mod stopped being a "dump mod into mods dir, edit config, run" zeroclick type of deal. Did they finally resolve that ID thing? That "api" truly...

Uh... Minecraft does use "plain easy config files" — never seen Minecraft or any of its mods use anything different. The problem with MC's configs is just that the mods have gotten way more complicated and for a while it was hard to manage a bunch of numeric block/item IDs (thank goodness ...

Just a heads up, but you need to add some localization to your Creative Mode mod. See, it exposes the "fluid" subgroup in your crafting/inventory GUI, so you get that dorky message that some key is undefined when you hover over the new category. Adding the following to the appropriate loca...

I hope that there will be ways to adjust the sensitivity of the environment, or even for each individual trees.

I'm loving this mod! Forests were always a nightmare to navigate through on foot (and I do a lot of running through forests on foot), but this makes things really much easier.

As someone who has implement LUA as a scripting language in multiple different games, hell no. Deep comparisons are costly as hell. And as a general programmer, I can tell you that such things are sometimes necessary to ensure consistent behavior. They aren't too bad as long as you don't do them to...

Preventing turret creep won't make fighting biters interesting.

I think it may be an aliasing issue. == is testing whether the two compare equal in some implementation-dependent way. I suspect that it's probably a bit-wise comparison. If v is a copy of game.player, it is not necessarily (and probably isn't) bit-equal with game.player. Instead it's a whole differ...

I guess I came across a little more snipey than I thought. I was, in part, just giving you a hard time. However, while I like the concept of the mod, I can't really abide by a placeholder cost. I play with mods to have fun, and that includes some attempt to balance cost against usefulness. I already...

Did you remember to pass your energy consumption change function to an event handler? Just asking, because code that is to be run in mods are triggered during events.

Ah! So the brackets are like a comment! Good to know!

I think we need a more concrete example. Say we want to put the Better Electric Pole between the medium electric pole and the big electric pole, instead of before the medium electric pole as it does now. How do we change this line of prototypes/item/electric-pole.lua order = "a[energy]-b[medium...

Really? Raw ore to craft a geology lab and maps? I know ore has little use, come on. I recommend that your materials be a little more refined. Something like the radar, maybe, only replacing iron plate with copper plate or something. As to the maps... how about a copper plate plus an electronic circ...
