I personally felt that increasing mining distances was of limited value, on two fronts. It makes the early game into an immobile affair. It also only really affects the very early game. Personally, I'm basically done with manual mining by about ten or twenty minutes into my typical marathon playthro...

I have made a new release that works without unpacking. Please try it and let me know if you still have problems. I personally do not find that the need for logistic character slots is eliminated. I don't like having to zoom out and fetch things myself. Logistic character slots are already a simple ...

Sorry folks. Previously I did not understand how to release Factorio mods. I have always unpacked my zip files so I did not know you could download them this way. I'll do another release sometime this week to make it work.

Is it possible to draw to the info layer from a mod? I could easily write this mod if so.

I think, on further examination, that this can be done with a mod. I'll see about creating it, and then we'll see if people like using it.

It's very easy to tell whether a mine, boiler, furnace, or steam engine is active. It's less easy to tell if an assembling machine is active, especially if detailed info is turned on. It would be nice if we could have, say, a little green light on the front of assemblers that are active. This would ...

[*] Are you persisting intermediates across branches where possible? Yes, but when I switch branches, the probability of changing something in common.hpp is big. Also, the visual studio tentds to be buggy when checking for changed depencencies, so often I just recompile to be sure it won't be broke...

Hi, I work at an organization that builds a very large software product that most people use every day. So I can speak somewhat to the compilation speed question. There are a few things to look at. To begin with, you should always understand the source of a problem before trying to fix it. So it wou...

We play-tested this mod at a LAN yesterday. People seemed to really like the removal of the range restriction. It doesn't seem to remove any of the fun challenges of the game, just some of the slog.

I made this thanks to your answer.

You are my favorite. I think I'm gonna buy a second copy.

Just so. I don't know why it mangled my URL.

Seems it's hard coded (found that out in another thread). So:

I would like to increase the manual action distance. It's a bit short for my taste. Please add a variable to control this from mods? <3

Hi. I consider the requirement to stand within a particular short range of what I'm trying to place to be flow-breaking and annoying. I'd like to make a small mod to remove that restriction. However, I'm having trouble locating the variable that controls this. I've checked LuaPlayer and I don't see ...

Oh god I want this.

talk of a developing a new game and the game isn't even on greenlight yet, also before you start a new game and drop this one, please add muti-core support (to the point where my cpu isnt only using 33%) so atleast modding can take over and do the things you didn't. They're not talking about making...
