If you set your game to get always latest release, you can try TNT explosivgaming.nl or something like that server, server owner tweaked it so new players can't use deconstruction planner and lot of other things to grief, you can do more as you play the map longer and dont' do anything bad. There is...

I'm not 100% sure it would provide proper throughput, but something like this shouls be enough in place of that splitter block:

Locomotive could be named just that - a locomotive, because it's just shorter and there are no different kinds of locomotives in game anyway.

I absolutely dislike that difficulty thing. For a reason I barely played with complicated mods... Why not leave that 'neccesary short session' thing to mods aswell? Playing on an even field with people both better and worse than me made me feel happy in this game, now you are pretty much segregatin...

It was public server, something like TNT explosivegaming.nl, it's running on latest experimental release, so you might need to change settings a bit.

I've been on a map with even more restrictions and owner actively working on making it even more griefer-safe. Majority of tools for that are already available, documentation how to use them might be not (at least for an average 'admin').

Not sure if I understood what you mean correctly, because you can enable it in options already.

About optics part, I think simple thing like ability to make a campfire that eventually burns out would fit very well for the start. You are supposed to be survivor or something after all. About pistol at start, I also have a 'primitive' idea. Starting weapon should be just stones you can mine and b...

At first I wanted to suggest just a simple pressure plate entity after playing Dwarf Fortress a lot (there actually used to be a mod for that, but couldn't find it anymore). First idea was that it would simply send selected signal when you stand on it, which would be useful when you build big circui...

Just find a way so map-wide speakers don't get abused by griefers in multiplayer mode.

My experience with multiplayer 'catch up' is that it has very little to do with your own hardware, much more with your internet bandwich and/or server capacity. Results in such cases seems somewhat unexpected - you'd read everywhere that full-bot factory is better for UPS for your factory, because b...

no no no no no NO! Don't you really see how this entire 'heat transfer' idea is bad in this? I don't really know how to put it, so it will be kinda random reasoning but I hope you gonna scrap entire 'heat transfer' idea as it is and just make a searate nuclear boiler that explodes without cooling in...

Disabling minimap helps a lot

Does anyone have somewhat compact design for 9-belt balancer? Most of bigger balancers I've found were for even numbers and only small ones for odd, but putting them together for 9 belts would make it way bigger than I'd like. To make it small, the best I've come so far was using 8-belt with somewha...

You know what I'd like to read another FFF about? Your plans about fighting agains griefers in multiplayer maps.

Bit disappointed loop train networks are not being looked at. Or are they not really causing that much lag after all? They never have. I have no idea where anyone got that idea from. I've heard about that from some youtube factorio series (only Xterminator's videos come to my mind atm, but I recall...

I agree that bots are ineffective when comapred to other ways of transport, but when you compare just short-range bots and long-range bots, it kinda surprising that long range bots seem better.

This is random non-rational nor well-thought rant. Actually there is no rant, just me whining there is so much 'dirty' 'steampunky' aspects in this game, yet so little 'end-game' 'clean' 'edgy' and whatnot devices/weapons/whatevers. Really wish there was more to this than just green modules. Hope th...
