Thorium? What mod adds thorium?

Pretty sure not bob or angel unless they've added it in past few days.

This should probably also be advertised a bit more: http://guide.factorio.com/

Put it as a popup for starting a new game or something, perhaps? Add it to background in the main menu?

there are no instructions They added some in-game tutorials in lastest unstable version. It's not for the very beginning of the game but they did say they plan on adding more to cover more areas of the game. Meanwhile, looking at couple of let's-play videos might help you. i dont like having to hit...

Currently there's no reason to mix metals due to the 1:1 ratio, unless mixing with a cheaper ingot is possible to save some more expensive intermediates. So it would be nice to see a glimpse of the planned ratios to know how worthy triple metal mixing would be to get into, especially when those add...

Factorio is mostly limited by memory latency and bandwidth, both of what are abysmally bad in ARMs. It's not only that ARMs have lower CPU frequency and lower instructions-per-cycle, their memory system is also designed for vastly different usecase compared to "proper" CPUs. In other words...

Yes, and?

Nuclear requires far less space and with enrichment, you'll have fuel for ages.

I like pretty much everything stated in the article, just wanted to point out one thing: No more random items appearing in the quickbar as you craft them Quite often, those are not "random items" that appear there as one crafts them. Especially during early game, I spend a whole lot of tim...

It's a hit and miss. Last night I had around one in five chance of getting a response from server.

I'm curious, how much stuff does get downloaded in peak times, roughly?

If you need to wait for things it means your factory isn't producing enough stuff fast enough and instead of waiting, you should be expanding it

I just updated the petrochem mod and it seems to work nicely now. Thanks!

Well it has to run through 3 configurable things before it would error, changing one would prevent the error. I don't even want to know how many cases of different configurations I can generate. Yes, I understand that you can't possibly check every and all configurations with every new release but ...

I'm almost certain this is working as intended and this behavior has existed for as long as I remember.

You are right, we modders need to test every possible combination of mods and settings that a user might have In this case, it's not "every possible combination", it's just that petrochem is flat out unusable as of now in *any* combination (got same error even with angelsinfiniteores mod ...

Update Petrochem to 0.5.6 please. Updated petrochem to 0.5.6 and smelting to 0.3.1, now the error is in petrochem-global-override at line 52 :) Not to be an ass but don't you try to load up factorio after updating the mods? I'm a programmer myself and I'd never dare to commit code that I haven't at...

You got 4x the power (magically created, instead of from heat being used to heat water to steam) and the heat was increased like 6-8x. A tiny nitpick, the version of IC2 that directly generated "energy units" is/was ancient. Several years ago they moved to outputting first steam and then ...

Just updated refining to 0.7.9, infiniteores to 0.6.9 and rso to 3.2.4 and now petrochem refuses to load up complaining about 'infinite-uranium-ore' being a nil value in petrochom-global-override.lua:49.

A dependency chain gone wrong, perhaps?

I'm having a lot of trouble generating enough hydroflouric acid to keep up with demand even after reprocessing all of the flouric wastewater I get because there's seemingly so few sources of it. I just reached the point where I needed more hydrofluoric acid for lead processing and hoped to get it f...

Oh, right. My bad. Forgot about having to resave it with latest 0.14 version. Sorry!

Not sure if anyone cares but that "reference map" runs at around 52UPS on my i5-6600K @3.5GHz and 32GB of dual-channel RAM at 2400MHz (nothing is overclocked) in Linux with factorio version 0.14.23. During night it drops to ~45UPS. I have GTX 770 video card. Wait... wat? Are you talking a...
