Re: Better train control

Same as my first suggestion. I just wanted to show, that there are a lot of whishes to make trains more dynamic - different people have different ideas how to do this and i am perfectly fine with this. This should be possible within the existing API. If there is anyone smarter person out there, fee...

Re: Trading cards in Steam archeavments

-1 use your time to improve the game instead.

trading cards are boring stuff to keep people entertained, who are too bored to play games.

self defined GUI-element on a self defined custom entity

Hello there, perhaps, this is already very simple and i just did'nt got that far into mod development right now. It seems like a mess, if you want to create a self defined entity and tell the game to open a self defined new gui-window especially for it. It would be easier, if the Class LuaEntity wou...

Re: Check mod-global values with console

Thx for reply.

I'll try it with registering a command to call a function that prints the stuff to the requesting player.

Re: Factorio should have DLC.

So, i can summarize, there are three types of people: Most people simply don't understand the problem i want to get solved. Some people, who gets a rough idea of my problem, suggest LTN as alternative (it isn't an alternative for me, because of reasons i explained more than one time) The last sort o...

Re: Factorio should have DLC.

The only ways I can think of to do this currently are to have seprately named stations, have trains on completely seperate sections of rail so that they could not path to the other station (which would have the same consequences and probably even more difficulty than renaming them), or forcing the ...

Re: Factorio should have DLC.

To clarify: you want one train to go to each available station, which will be turned off after the train is there and are arbitrarily turned on again? No - that would be easy ;) I want, that a train get his next target based on circuit network conditions instead of a hard coded scheduling. Or to st...

Re: Factorio should have DLC.

If someone write the addon i want to have, i would actually pay for it. But i strongly believe, the stuff i want is simply not moddable, since the mod-api doesn't support the required functionality right now.

Re: Factorio should have DLC.

Are you a game developer? Your mentality on all this is something most good devs would never have. Ever.

If this value is already in the game, it should be moddable to get it read by a circuit network.

Re: Factorio should have DLC.

I have to ask. What do -you- believe that "DLC" is? Because I think our understanding of the term fundamentally differs. You seem to think that paid expansions are "DLC". And that gating off popular requests for features to be included in such is a good thing. DLC is any content...

Re: Factorio should have DLC.

Most of the DLCs of Stellaris, but also from the other Paradox games, should have been part of the base game from the release on, instead of always aiming for a low quality quick release and fixing up their shit on-the-go after the release. This constant "work in progress" stuff where the...

Re: Separate signals to/from red and green wires

I don't see the problem - it's not that complicated to add a simple combinator to transform one signal to be able to multiply both. The signals arrives already separated, even if they run along the same electric poles. As long you send them about different wires. Additionally you would get a bunch o...
