Re: Hi Wube! Would it be okay to use game screenshots on my server hosting website?

P.S.: It constantly saddens me, that humanity still has not ...

Re: [MOD 0.17.x] Inserter Fuel Leech

Got this error loading a save today. Playing with full Angel, Bob, Clowns and Omni. There seems to exeist an item without a fuel value that is still accepted by a burner inventory. That should never happen (and in vanilla it doesn't happen). One of the mods probably added such an item. I will add a...

Re: Regular expression help

The following should match the desired item names whether they contain an unsigned int or not: prefix, n, type = string.match(name, "^(.-)(%-[0-9]+)?%-_%-([a-z]+)$") Typo? Guess it should be "^(.+)" instead of "^(.-)". :-) No, that should be the non-greedy quantifier (...

They expect implementing it to cost too much developer time, RAM for additional state and UPS impact.

Re: on_item_request_removed

If on-item-request-proxy-complete gets implemented, someone could use it for incremental building by creating one proxy per build stage. That would certainly not be as UPS-friendly as on-item-delivered. But it might (or might not - would have to be benchmarked) still be better than checking the cur...

Re: on_item_request_removed

That's a completely different request: on-item-delivered - and it's not going to happen. The original request for an event when the proxy is being deleted because it was fulfilled might happen. If on-item-request-proxy-complete gets implemented, someone could use it for incremental building by crea...

Re: Version 0.18.18

My main takeaway here is that people are hearing different things loudly, or quietly. Normally that should be an indicator of sounds that rely heavily on a narrow frequency spectrum or are too high/low pitched. But as there was an increment of maximum concurrrent sounds that can be heard at once, m...

... odd pickup-behaviour of inserters at chunk borders ... First i've heard of this. More info? This could go in a bug report. Inserters behave subtly different when inserter, pickup traget, and drop target are not in the same chunk. They are also updated by chunk - leading to the effect that they ...

Re: Is it time to give the pistol the steel axe treatment

The pistol should be axed. It should just be the smg from the start. Its stats should always be the same as that of the machine gun turret. Biter starting strength (damage, armor, hitpoints, group size) might be adjusted accordingly.

The copy of license.txt in my pre-takedown IR version is Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International so I think the current license on the portal was just an artifact of the whole takedown-restore thing that went on, reuploaded under the wrong license.

The judgmental rebuke you implied in that final question probably constitutes a good example of the answer to it. If you mean the "killing", that is just because normally, artists are not deleting or destroying their own work because of what others do or think (except, when the act of doi...

Re: A final note about Industrial Revolution

I had the impression that players where pretty happy about IR and having their mods featured in FFF, twitch, and youtube seems to be a good predictor of modder satisfaction too.

Re: Walls should be buildable in strips like rails

Definitely a +1.
I like diagonal walls and most of the time building them while running diagonally works just fine. But if it doesn't it is a pain to remove the misplaced entities. Rail-planner-like behaviour would be really nice to have.

Too bad they did not knew you from the start. They could just have licensed your game engine and would have spared themselves all the trouble.
