Because people would use it wrongly and mods would not work in reaplays/multiplayer. You would need to save/load the state of your random generator, to avoid all of the hassle, the game.getrandomnumber function is there. We could also trick it, so math.random would actually use the game.getrandomnu...

This well meant mis-used phrase made my night

Lol, incoming bug release 0.3.1 .

It might be that the list of items is in a different order than the pre-inserted items. So the items are in incorrect slots and the assembling machines do not produce anything.

Wow, looks absolutely epic . Finally you can play sort of Starcraft inside Factorio.

I believe it should be up in a few days, the development is progressing quite nicely. I heard there is some new problem with PayPal now (developers might say something about it somewhere), so it is unclear how long it takes to solve it. But at least the BitCoin part should be running very soon. (And...

When you are hurt, you eat them using shift click . Very hidden.

Ok, this seems strange. I will move this to the bug section then. Actually in my free play I noticed that I am not using many purple packs as well, so it might be some general problem.

The meaning should be as you described, you need 200 pieces of each. Are you sure you didn't have some spare purple packs/artifacts when you started. In general, they are disappearing very slowly, I have to say, I never checked whether they disappear in the correct rate.

Not a completely bad idea, but in the current system (unless you have networks disconnected) you have n-1 wires for n poles, since they autoform a tree, so it is not like you pay anything extra here. I would actually prefer to not have wires connecting in the minimal closes manner, because it is imp...

Sorry, I somehow mistook your for rymn friends whos design is the first design originally. Sorry, I will fix it now somehow.

I like this idea quite a lot :). Also, it would be very nice if you could somehow program priorities for energy consumption. For example in my factory, I have a separate coal mining site for my power plants. The problem is that if my power consumption gets too high, everything slows down, which slow...

I set your name as the name of the topic, it is not changed in all posts, but it is used on the main page and in the first post. So you should be well credited for this work now .

To clean little, I merged these two topics of the same content. Please just continue here. Concerning the new design, it is so fucking amazing! :) You are doing a really great job optimizing the construction. I also really like your one-side stop at the belt transporting iron and coal, using the und...

Maybe you could add some floor decoration to the furnace, like some kind of pavement which would take area 2x2, so it would be more visually visible. Also it would be nice if we could use stone to build pedestrian paths on which one can walk faster. You could even use your old stone graphics for that.

Yesterday, we added the fourth (and probably last) tutorial video in which I show a slightly more complex factory I build a few weeks ago. We explain filter inserters and how to use them in different possible settings. I am casting this video together with Kasia, the PR manager of Factorio.

I believe it is actually quite fun to design your factory in a way it is splitting all material automatically and you don't have some magic boxes which do everything for you. I am not so familiar with these minecraft mods but one thing I never liked is that you can build easily some very small and v...

I think you are missing the point here. Smart chests are used to limit the input so first inserter don't take everything and output inserters are synchronise to take when they all can take. Inputs have separated networks (one smart inserter+ one smart chest). Outputs are all connected to all chests...

I was always thinking how to build something which could split resources in some ratio between several belts. For example, suppose you want to use a half of iron plates for wheels and the rest for circuits. Using circuits, I made a simple device which allows you to split material in any required rat...

Hahaha! Boats definitely would be very helpful and bridges as well, but not in this situation. And it can even happen with the large amount of water that you end-up at semi-large island and you die out when you mine everything.
