Re: Version 0.17.58

Ok, you convinced me. I added a "Build with obstacle avoidance" control settings entry. CONTROL + Left mouse click is default value. um, yay and all that, but i am surprised that THIS convinced you, and not the mountain of criticism in the topics (FFF and release?) where you guys announce...

Re: Friday Facts #303 - Under 100 bugs (but still not stable)

why does it matter exactly which version we call stable? Are you waiting for stable to play a new playthrough? i'm not one of the people who asked about which version will be stable, but for me the answer would be: yes, sort of. long story short, "stable" for me suggests longer "life...

Re: Version 0.17.48

Added a sanity check to LuaForce::chart() that errors on large sizes instead of trying to use 71,000 gigabytes of RAM. That is a hell of a lot of ram, servers dont even have that much! no amount of RAM is enough for a little piece of bugged code, or one that accepts any value a user can enter :)

Re: Friday Facts #298 - Demo upgrade for Stable

In the Introduction, both of these special tasks are what Compilatron would do for you (take items from the special chest and use them for something, like build or repair structures). That is precisely what seems to happens in the new verson. You load a "locked chest" with items and Compi...

Re: Friday Facts #298 - Demo upgrade for Stable

I fully support removing loaders from the introduction campaign, but a nice loader structure graphics would look sweet for the console-given loaders, like most likely every now and then in following FFFs. You do have a graphic for the infinity chest, which is not used in regular gameplay either, aft...

Re: Suggested solution for rail placement issues

I agree it's a bad idea, Why is it a bad idea? What is bad about it? With any other blueprint placing, if I see an obstacle I hold shift to place the blueprint while removing the obstacle. This makes the same function work with rails. that "I agree it's a bad idea" was a response to invol...

Re: Suggested solution for rail placement issues

Clicking without shift: If the whole rail is within reach: direct build mode When any part of the rail gets out of reach, automatically switch to ghost build mode while avoiding obstacles" Clicking with shift or pressing shift enters ghost build mode while removing obstacles. Releasing shift s...

Re: Version 0.17.28

i think that if 0.17.27 wasn't released publicly, there's no reason to call the updated version ".28" - just like you didn't iterate every version you created during the year between last 0.16.x and 0.17.0. it just causes mild confusion and wastes everyone's time.

Re: Version 0.17.23

pretty sure you overestimate how fast Lua is compared to JS No. I am an IT performance engineer, I have exact numbers down to the nanosecond. LuaJIT outperforms JavaScript on average by a factor of 3.5. This is the main reason why this scripting language is used in almost every game out there and J...

Re: Version 0.17.23

Oh god why don't you just enable modding in another language next to lua? This is getting ridiculous. Every mod is running in a separate lua instance. How hard would it be to run lua and ... say Javascript instances next to each other? According to https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/6bzjmw/...

And doesn't work for me :(
what have you tried?
restarting Steam? (but actually restarting, not just closing the window and opening it again)
relogging to Steam?
restarting your computer?
reinstalling Steam?
