However this doesn't really matter, and i wouldn't consider it a bug It does matter, when other items were renamed in the past their files were renamed aswell. It makes no difference in the game, the filenames are only used in the entity definitions One of the changes stated in the 0.15 release is ...

Not sure if this is the place to post it. In 0.15 the name of the diesel locomotive was changed to locomotive. Seems like that change only happened in the type and name in the prototype and not in the graphics folders and files associated with the locomotive. An example: Currently the icons path is ...

I'm hoping that heat pipe is just a power source, so both boilers are the same entity type with different stats set, same with the Steam engine and turbine, I hope they're just the same entity with different stats set. Yes, yes and yes. Heat pipe is power source, boiler and heat exchanger are same ...

I realise that 0.15 is right around the corner, but my base is getting bigger every day and every detail counts, so I extracted waitex, deleted the zip, went into the folder and ran this command: find . -type f -iname '*.png' -exec pngquant --skip-if-larger --strip --ext .png --force {} \; Which re...

This is ofcourse with all texture being high res which 0.15 won't have. For 0.15 you are probably good if you have atleast 2GB.

Sounds like a release next week

I was writing in the textbox marked by the red arrow when a rocket launched without a satelite. I can't press tab to remove the message because i am still writing in the textbox. Steps to reproduce: Launch a rocket without a satelite. Quicly open a trainstop and edit the name. Wait for message to po...

I think you are looking for WaiTex. It's a HD texture pack.
If you can wait then 0.15 will include HD textures aswell.

In addition to this, maybe a search bar in the map window where you can search for specific entities to highlight them.

In the method make_replicator you have defined two different assembling-machines with the same name name = "replicator-"..tier The second definition overrides the first one which is why nothing happens when you make changes in the first one. The second one is specificly set to use filename...

I cheated. My computer came up with this one. You may get an error if you try run the function depending on the precision of the program running it. f(x) = 1+(cos(ln(x/exp((x+x^arccos(sqrt(1/(arcsin(ln(tan(sqrt(ln(exp(2*x/(Pi-2*arccos(cos(arcsin(x)^2/(1+arcsin(x)^2)))))-x)/ln(10)))+1)/ln(10))+tan(si...

You do realize that barreling is the superior method? Basically it's the advanced way to do fluid. MIght end up being something only people playing at a higher level, like megabases builds, uses, but it should actually be what everyone does. Why is it the superior method? He probably assumes you ca...

Assume a base has 20.000 robots in a network, they always have something to do and don't need to recharge. If we assume an average travel time for each robot to be 4sec then 20.000 / 4 = 5000 robots need to pathfind per second. Factorio runs at 60UPS which means that factorio would have to process 5...

What kind of entities could that be? It's mainly trees and ores tree-02-red 101684 tree-05 446344 tree-04 446842 dead-dry-hairy-tree 21199 tree-02 117166 dead-grey-trunk 8580 dead-tree 10 tree-09-red 15595 tree-07 15786 dry-hairy-tree 12 tree-08 1066 tree-08-red 264 tree-08-brown 264 tree-03 1869 t...

Lets see what fills so much in that save file. The original file was 91.2MB. Saving the file with no mods reduced the file size to 90.3MB I then ran the following command to delete all entities /c for _, ent in pairs(game.surfaces.nauvis.find_entities()) do ent.destroy() end After that the save file...

And some method for cropping empty space by sprites for sprite sheet? If you mean going from this http://i.imgur.com/sHkZYpx.png to this http://i.imgur.com/863n1k6.png Then the game already does that for you when it loads the mod. With a zipped mod it probably only takes a dozen bytes extra per tex...

You can't refer to a variable with a - in it like that. You have to refer to it the same way you did to the biter-spawner variable. Replace line 3 with:

width = (sprites along x axis) / (texture width) height = (sprites along y axis) / (texture height) shift i have no idea but YuokiTani made a tool to calculate it https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=135&t=12171&p=82661&hilit=calculate+shift#p81858 scale depends on what size you w...

This is some impressive optimization work. At this point is it still true that bots are better for performance than belts in 0.15?

Hi, first of all thanks for this awesome mod! ETA for 1 Gb vram version of the 1.2.0 release? Thanks. Sorry for the late response. I don't think i will make one this time around. Atleast not before 0.15 is out. If HD in 0.15 doesn't cover enough entities then i will update WaiTex to 0.15 and releas...
