If you want to go with steam storage you'll need to take into account the drain rate as well. A fully powered and upgraded laser drains about 8MW (9.6 shots per second), and a turbine only provides 5.6MW at peak, meaning you need roughly 1.4 turbines per laser turret in order for it to supply the ma...

+1 to this. The few times I had to do it, it was rather annoying to have to re-enter everything manually when it should be possible to simply rename the train station.

The shield is not an entity.

This actually explains a lot, if the shield was implemented as a check on damage of the player and not as an independent entity, then that would explain why the shield does not trigger the event.

Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks for the report. That's working as intended: if the entity doesn't take damage (because the shield absorbed it) then it didn't take damage. While it is true that the player entity did not take damage to its own hitpoints, the damage still occurred to an entity, in this case, the shield. It wo...

There's nothing wrong with the units, an item can consume an average of 10 watts over a given timeframe (say 24h) if it consumes 240 watts for one hour and is idle for the other 23. Adding "average" doesn't make the message any more clear. Nowhere in the electrical production panel does it...

As per the documentation https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/events.html ,it does not trigger when health is directly set as opposed to being damaged, however no event appears to fire when the player is shielded and damaged normally. https://i.imgur.com/qUZnDG4.png https://i.imgur.com/oMXK2cr.png It...

are you sure?
when?
i don't even know why you implemented it this way, feels like you just stole the system from that mod and failed to fix its issues.

The mod you linked is made by Klonan, who works for Wube.

Most of these questions have no canonical answer. The only ones that aren't already in your question are the name of the planet, which is Nauvis (visible in the map editor and mod API interfaces)

I've been using this mod because well, it's awesome

So you're saying that there's now RGB sync on the labs? Does that increase productivity by 10%?

You need to specify that this is on .16, I'm not reproducing this on .17

There's one written by Eradicator for 0.16 https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=367915#p367915 It's not released anywhere else AFAICT. I can't release it on the official mods site since I'm not the original author, but I've made some edits to it (show different colours depending on whether an...

TIL you could use Shift-R to rotate anticlockwise.

Do flame turrets still deal infinity damage against biters? The perspective on balance may change dramatically when biters don't get death sentenced by a drop of oil. Calling it "infinity damage" is kinda misleading, since you still have to survive for the time it takes the biter to burn ...

Already reported and is a dupe, viewtopic.php?f=7&t=69398

per tick, per second, per minute... Could you already unify time measurement? I think the devs are unifying towards minutes, at least in displayed units. After pollution, most measurements in game (production window, pollution, etc) are all in minutes now. Ticks are for game mechanics reasons, and ...

I can also confirm the same crash upon hovering over a blueprint book. Guess I'll have to avoid that until this is patched. The train/pollution bugfixes are pretty important.

You're showing a water pipe mixed with another water pipe in your screenshot?

Yes, this was a big error on my side. I thought all the time, that it is pollution per second, and the balance and numbers seemed to work, but when I investigated, it actually means pollution per minute. This actually is (like the rest of the pollution issues) more of a documentation problem than a...

Biters have 100% acid resist in 0.17 to prevent friendly fire from their new splash attacks, so an acid turret won't affect them unless you mod away the acid resist or use another type of attack for your acid turrets.

Was just reading over the most recent reply, and discovered that we basically just did the Factorio equivilant to ‼SCIENCE‼. Also considering how deadly magma trains are... Totally, I think trains are the Factorio equivalent of the atom-smasher bridge. Too bad you can't place chests on rails, other...
