I have spent a lot of time playing Factorio but also some RTS games. In all the games I have played, nerfing something has almost never been as good a solution as buffing something else instead.

And what I would like to tell you is you do not need to nerf turret creeping at all. You should instead ...

I´d like to have a more expensive repair pack that repairs things faster.

It´s just a little bit tedious sometimes to repair laser turrets and walls before bots... and bots have their own downsides.

Two questions:

Will there be a new ore? (like uranium maybe?)

February 2017 is for the first experimental release of 0.15?

0.14 has already added support for vehicle equipment grids. Some mods are already adding stuff to that grid. (think of it like power armor for vehicles)
I suppose eventually base game might also have some equipment for vehicles. Meanwhile, I heartily recommend Bob´s mods.

That said: +1 for some ...

When mousing over or selecting a piece of a belt, it would be nice if somewhere on the gui it was told what exactly is on that piece of belt. Would be mostly useful with mods that add new, unfamiliar ores and stuff.

Which button? (as in why not just load the game as normal but do whatever necessary to load the game, including restart of client if necessary)

If I run in straight line and hold lmb to place power poles

How it works currently:
places power poles on maximum distance away from closest power pole. sometimes does not place a power pole at all if running close enough to another line of power poles.

Problem: this makes it cumbersome to place ...

Couild you maybe make the rocket launch harder to achieve, requiring more of your high tech ingredients?

I´ve pretty much been bypassing the whole rocket thing altogether on your mod so far, as I have been concentrating on getting everything else first :D

But a cursory look to the requirements of ...

Thank you!

This would certainly be helpful. So +1

With bob´s mods set it is already possible to automate artifacts farming. In that mod all the biter enemies drop small artifacts and 25 small artifacts can be crafted/manufactured into regular artifacts. The mod also adds different colored artifacts.

Method of automation:

1) Surround a nest (or ...

He wants to be efficient. So, just to build plenty is not perhaps the most efficient way.
Then again, he is just starting to produce oil based stuff so assuming his oils are depleted is a bit silly as well.

We don´t know the amount of oil pools and we don´t know their yields.

So... my advice ...

Please upload your save :)

Not sure if you really want it but I dont see the harm in posting it so here goes :)

bobsmods13.zip

even though its named like that, it is actually a game save file, does not include the mods. (I use the name of the mod Im running as basis for my save game names ...

So I have a few options in mind but just for fun I thought I´d run a poll about this. Maybe someone will find an option I didnt think of?



edit: sorry if this is in wrong section

I propose a workaround.
detach synthetic wood from the plastic research and make a separate research entry for synthetic wood. This way, the player could choose not to research synthetic wood at all and would avoid all problems with regards to manually crafting wood related stuff. Something like 20 ...

Started using bobs mod pack something like a 100 hours ago

Gradually, my "main belt" is getting rather fat :D Yea it got a bit out of hand. I still dont even have all ores on it (missing ...

also try windows key + d

And what happens to all the science pack resources? They just vanish... These copper plates and gear wheels have helped me discover laser turrets and now they will pop out of existence.

I think it would make sense if the science packs would turn into energy. So maybe labs should give out small ...

no such lag when Im hosting.

if I join a game, there has been such lag on every 0.14 version if I joined a server with high ping to me.

I guess when I press f to pick something up, the game makes me first tell the server that hey Im picking this up and the server then checks if Im allowed to pick ...

Im not saying you havent found out about this yet but I only recently found out about this so maybe worth a mention.

In late game you can still very much use "depleted" oil fields at the expense of increased use of electricity and get large amounts of oil from them, especially from fields that have ...
