I found the cause was the mod Nauvis Day . With that mod removed and spending a couple hours starting new maps, I tested it with vanilla, new rampant enemies, and bobs enemies. In all three instances the biters just sat at their base regardless of time of day, whether the radar could see them clear...

Unless I'm missing something, I think the nocturnal mode is broken. I started a game hoping for good early game pressure, but nothing was happening. Looking at the map I see bases creating biters, but then the biters are deleted rather than sent to attack. It repeats this cycle constantly. Aside fr...

In smelting: shouldn't advanced steel smelting be better than straight smelting plates? You get the basic furnace recipe that goes 2 iron plates-> 1 steel plate while the advanced goes 24 iron Ingots ->8 steel ingots. so the "advanced" goes 3:1 instead of 2:1 that the simpel goes. With th...

Ok but what about Components and Tech? How functional are the angels mods without it since it's not compatible with the latest Factorio version The components and tech mod previously just provided some early game logistic bots to carry stacks of items very slowly. A research overhaul was planned to...

I see you have definitly not OCD :D To be fair, I used to never put that kind of effort into other games aside from a notepad for simple things. Factorio on the other hand gave me OCD with dozens of spreadsheets and notepads calculating every little detail to the point a university professor would ...

There's an odd bug involving bottleneck and the cooling tower. http://puu.sh/z5a5H/0a1fc12237.png When loading a game, the green dot appears on the middle which isn't indicative of the actual tower status. It's no big deal, but I felt like bringing it to your attention. How about naming your first e...

Does it work with mods who changes the terrain such as alien biome? No. Unless the terrain is the vanilla type, you'll never see them. This makes exploring for them even harder in biomes, assuming you leave the terrain type to default. Is that really true? Damn. Set the terrain for all vanilla grou...

After two hours of playing with it, I've made a nice compact 1.1GW setup that's perfectly stable. When the reactors are under 10% utilization, the temperatures will reach my specified scram threshold to shut down only the affected reactors and auto-restart those reactors once the scram ends. I'm awa...

No.

I like the new bioprocessing. The rarity of the gardens was nice for exploring incentive, but there were three issues: 1. Swamp trees appear but not their gardens 2. Seed cultivation creates 0 or 5 bio tokens, not 1.2 as shown. 3. Garden into seeds is also inconsistent and showed me this after doing...

If you don't mind my asking, what are your design plans with how your science functions? Your design philosophy is to take something already in place and put your own unique spin on it; To make it more involved and meaningful. This is why the vanilla experience feels so empty when we stop using the...

Can Someone please explain to me the use of Advance Mechanical Refining. Cupric Seems useless as it gives you Copper and tin when you sort crushed. Ferrous does give you manganese which seems to be the only way to get it. Looking down the tech tree Cupric doesn't seem to give anything that you cant...

What about nerfing standard train car storage too? It always struck me as odd that most trains in Factorio only have 1 or maybe 2 cars. Real life trains can have 100+ cars easily! This is because you're not considering frequency and speed of material transportation. It's not unusual to have several...

Another case of a developer trying to justify an internal decision without gathering any input from the community before pulling the rug from under their feet. Although, after the whole 0.16 concrete debate it's starting to be a bit obvious that it wouldn't have mattered either way. I've gotten that...

I'll keep this simple as possible, although my opinion may slightly differ from others experiences due to being combined with other mods like AAI and Angels. My love: Electronic boards are the determination of tiers, not metals. Due to the recipes of boards increasing significantly in difficulty eac...

Elevation is one thing I've always felt was missing for some map variation and playstyle, so this is a step in the right direction for sure. I know I won't be blowing up cliffs, since planning around them is more interesting than just removing them for more flat land. The world isn't so conveniently...

Is this a dead mod? Indeed, it has been almost 7 months since 0.15 was released. I'm doubting much progress has been made since we never get any progress or status reports, but just having the mod ported to 0.15 would be more than acceptable right now. Well the licence is MIT so technically we coul...
