Re: Friday Facts #160 - Playtesting

I see that you want to address turret creep and I think this is a great idea. It can be super overpowered in the early game before you have combat bots and a turret 'start-up' time would be the perfect fix. I do however have to mention that I think something is missing with regards to the player cla...

[0.14.13] Blueprint drop to toolbar issue

Found an issue with blueprints not dropping to the toolbar when quick-dropping (Q) if another blueprint is already on the toolbar. This somewhat makes sense as items will not drop to the toolbar automatically if another item of that type is already present on the toolbar, however seeing as blueprint...

Re: Filter being ignored when putting item back

I am guessing you might still be using version 13 as this was fixed in 0.14.8 - viewtopic.php?f=11&t=32952

Re: 0.14.1 - Tanks handle slowly

This spiked my interest so I decided to take a look myself. I ran two turning-circle tests on version 0.12 and 0.14 (don't have a copy of 0.13) and found that the maneuverability is indeed wonky in 0.14 Here is a comparison side by side; note that the version 0.12 tank is able to turn in a fairly ti...

Re: Friday facts #157 - We are able to eat paper, but we don't do it

We changed to 4 bytes: x (1 byte, 5 bits for tile, 3 bits for the rest) y (1 byte) decorative id (1 byte) count (1 byte) With the count added, we could save small chunks (I estimate 5-10) of decoratives as one. Sounds like a great optimization! Out of curiosity since the entities are no longer save...

Re: Combinator Contraptions

Damn Dave that was incredibly quick! Unfortunately the range will likely be above 46000 so I will have to use the 3-tick version but that's incredibly efficient and I can now see where I totally over-engineered my comparitor. Thanks for your help! :)

Re: Combinator Contraptions

Alright, I've been at it for hours and cannot come up with something that I am happy with. Time to ask the experts; I am trying to build an odd-even sorting system and I am having trouble coming up with a comparitor that is appropriate for the task. The comparitor needs to take two inputs and compar...

Shift-click to move the stack the cursor is over, shift-right-click to move half the stack over or ctrl-click to move all of that type of it...

Re: [0.13.17] Biters build too close to players structues

Although I wouldn't classify this as a 'bug' per se I really do think that it needs to be tweaked for balance purposes. Combat is tedious at the best of times and trying to maintain train lines etc (especially when an attack occurs when you're miles away) is nothing short of infuriating and doesn't ...

[0.14.7] [Rseding91] Inventory filter error with quick-drop

Really obscure, but worth reporting none the less I guess. Steps to reproduce: 1. Hold an item in your hand from your hotbar that is set to be filtered 2. Open some sort of inventory and remove an item filter inside that inventory (middle mouse click) 3. Swap the item in your hand for the previously...

Re: [14.7] possible bug with combinators

This was changed in version 0.13, decider combinators no longer 'change' the signal type unless you output a specified signal with value 1. The rest of the time they will output the desired signal at the input count based off of what is on the input side. Here's the official patch note: Decider comb...

[0.14.7] Gates not predicting player movement correctly

This is a minor issue but thought it worth reporting regardless. Gates appear to only correctly predict player movement when the player is moving north towards a gate. From all other directions there is a stutter where the player hits the gate and there's a short period before the gate is 'open'. Ho...

Re: Friday Facts #156 - Massive Multiplayer

Damn that new terrain looks great! I have a question about it though - when it is implemented will it roll nicely into existing worlds or will we see the same sort of 'tearing' as we did jumping from 0.12 to 0.13 when the player loaded a 0.12 map and explored new areas?

Re: Customisable Scrolling Display

Really, great! Very simple, shouldn't take me long to poke through and figure out how to add custom characters. I use a few mods that give me a LOT more virtual signals, and allows me to use more colors on the lamps (grey and black as well, so I have to change those mappings). I could see it being ...

Re: Where is a terrain segmentation

There was a bug in early 0.13 versions when setting terrain segmentation to low. The fix was to remove the option to do that. :P so this means we no longer need that or is the world generation generating terrain segmentation on it's own ? Or is there some new World generation overhaul going on in f...
