i can confirm that, i now identified (thanks for this thread)that this mods cause fps/ups drops (~25fps/40ups) after removeing this mod i can do 120fps/120ups without problem (with game speed 2 ...

For removing the chemical impurities.

Thanks for the report however that's just how it works when it's all just sprites: a lot of shadows are just gray transparent textures and when you render one over top of another it darkens it giving the shadow effect. There's no real light engine at play in the game - just sprites on sprites ...

Notice how the selected rail chain signal looks darkened by the shadow falling across it, despite it ostensibly being a lighted object.

Nice

Why do you need it though? I'm curious

For a project whose nature I cannot yet disclose.

What is charcoal? I don't have any recipes that use it, and furnaces keep making charcoal when they were supposed to insert the wood into the fuel slot. If I try to put wood into furnaces and I put in more than the fuel slot holds, instead of filling completely and returning the rest to my ...

Be aware that before the mod portal existed the mods where published in this forum.

Download the oldest version and check dates of files in the zip. The zip itself can change date on download.



The mod portal api gives timestamps. You can go through all dates to find the earliest one, but if ...

I find myself needing to find when a mod was first ever released, which is synonymous with knowing when it was first uploaded to the mod portal. Important to note is that there is no date information in the changelog, the oldest download is NOT the first release, (it is instead the last release for ...

I can, however, say that you should not be seeing damaging levels of pollution from a single burner drill - that is far in excess of normal.


They might not have caused damage immediately. All I know is that they showed up as soon as I started mining, and they caused damage as soon as I was ...

The trees are supposed to be far more significant than the terrain type is, especially among the "natural" terrains as opposed to concrete (which is supposed to carry heavy penalties).

It plants them into forests.

A more complex and frankly less sensible idea would be to hardcode more functions, but the sheer number that are necessary - in my case, I needed bitwise operations, array index use, math.floor(), and modulo, and others likely need other functions - makes that not a realistic means to achieve ...

The biters seem to ramp up far too aggressively in the early game. Not even twenty minutes in, I'd mined up a few hundred plates and had only just started a coal mining section when I got my first wave, and then my second wave, and then my third...the waves came in as rapidly as if I were inside a ...

Is there a reason this has to be as such? Why is it hardcoded (ie not even a utility constant, let alone a prototype or script thing)?

If that's the case then I believe it's up to the mod adding the new decoratives the define the render layers for them so they don't collide with the new biter nesting ones.

There are 2 properties in the decorative that control the layering: https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/Decorative

I found the original nest - it does indeed fix it:

That almost looks like a layering issue with the the mods decoratives/decals it's putting on the terrain. If you remove the mods does it sill look wrong? Removing the mods should cause all of that terrain and the decoratives/decals it adds to be erased and replaced with vanilla terrain.

As seen in the debug info panel here:


I would like to be able to repair the trees' color.
