Use imgur. It has big fat pipes and it's full of crapimages anyway. You don't have to make your albums public to share the links either. Once you have images on there it gives you copy/paste strings which will work on this forum to show the image.

Thanks for responding quickly but please, no need to beat yourself up. Balance is hard and a first WIP release is not expected to be anywhere near balanced. I kept going yesterday and by 2h 40 mins had built a lab and researched miners. The cost of another miner is 40 odd mins of iron mining so I ca...

Agree the axes are gone before they get much done. Not good given how hard they are to replace. Having only 1 drill really is a bottleneck. Keep having to pick it up and move it round. Just mining the 52 iron ore for a lab takes over 21 minutes (at 25 seconds per ore). I'm now 90 minutes in and near...

You don't even need it with Bobs and Py. It's only for them to get past a research constraint using Py with Angels. You could give them some 'babies first glass' recipes inside a check for Angels so it wouldn't affect anyone else.

There are a number of really slow start mods: AAI, Seablock, Anonymods, Pyanadon and so on. An hour into trying this one I had a clay brick furnace to be able to smelt iron. I'd say yours is at the upper end of them at the moment, yes. Making the start a move a bit quicker would probably be a good i...

That's a lot of work you've put in there. Some 'missing key' errors so you may have locale entries missing (granitic for example and I saw more hovering over techs). The tech icon placeholders are not surprising either given the amount of new ones and this being the first WIP release. The start up i...

I'll certainly have a peek at it. I assume it's not RSO supported at this time?

Charlie seemed interesting so I loaded it up and ran round till I started bumping into biters. There's a total of 559,000 coal inside that area. Oil is farily sparse but it never runs out completely so that's fine. I've run factories on wood before (toxic forest for example) and that's the one thing...

Awesome sauce! I've hit this problem with chests many times and usually end up using a car to move large amounts of things (mostly concrete) around.
Anything which makes covering worlds in beautiful grey easier is a good thing.

Is cobaltite supposed to be really rare or something? https://i.imgur.com/4bMKdxU.png Unless I'm just managing to completely overlook it somehow there's no cobaltite on this map so far anywhere at all. That's a weird looking map. But no, there is no cobaltite unless you switched it on in the config...

Void chest instant was ported to 0.15 and works fine for all solids. I tend to hook one up next to storage with a limiter so that when storage is close to full, start tossing excess into the void chest. Fluid pipe wasn't ported to 0.15 as far as I know but flare stacks will accept any fluid/gas I th...

I brought this up several pages back. You must have all bobs or none. The library alone will not fly due to the way Py does the import.

I find it weird that energy picks are getting the most votes to be honest. With 0.15, energy is kinda done and dusted. Solid fuel steam is simple and plentiful, solar + accumulators remains for space hogging zero pollution power and nuclear scales great for the end game. I'd rather have something ne...

I'll continue the Bobs + Py I started to test the early game I think. It took 2 labs about 6 hours to grind through all the red science running in the background, I don't fancy doing that again.

It should migrate into existing games. Let us know if there are any problems with it. The other error I will look into shortly I fed it the 3 saved games I have with various mod sets and progression - it migrated flawlessly. He has all but the kitchen sink in that mod list though so my bet is on on...

IT´S ALIVE!!! Recent release 0.3.0 is ready on Mod portal and officially released! Grab your copy, start a new game and be busy for several hours XD! Start again? /whine BTW, typos and things in the mod portal announcement. This is how I would correct it as a native English speaker: A comprehensive...

To scrap - sounds cool :P And what about rubber belts, lol https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Reika/RubberBelts I am not afraid to boring, I like when a game with management throws down me a challenge ;) If you like that, have you never tried anonymods? It leans more to realism and it's pretty complex.

Dont worry if high tech wins, plastic will be consumed like hell. Its a good insulation. Rubber i dunno, but will have more uses too. In my mod you can produce plastics and rubber from aromatics too. If bobs are installed If you think about it, rubber should be used to make conveyor belts. I've nev...

My buildings are expensive because they (almost all) is mass production buildings. I wont change vanilla or other mod´s "prices". In most cases is not cool change stuff other people created. Exactly. You are the author of this mod, you balance it based on your own ideas and your mods aest...

This could be a bug or a simple 'shit happens'. I have a coal distiller rotated so the active connection of the 2 pipes pointing up is on the right (tar). When I loaded after downloading the new version, the building was back in it's initial state and my connections no longer fitted. I had to rotate...
