Factorio Forums

• Aquifer pumps - get water from the ground! Very inefficient.
• Walls made of copper - they're a bit weaker, and easier to pick up.
• Walls made of another material, which are much stronger.
• Bigger lamps, electric poles and substations.
• Smaller roboports.
• Nuclear power! To get uranium ore in an existing world, explore new areas or cheat it in.
• A new type of lab and science pack, which are required to research nuclear power.
• A way to get lots of stone.
• A few placeholder icons. (Why is this under "Features"? IDK.)

• The ore crusher is very inefficient when used in a certain way. This is not a bug. (Well, originally it was, but now it's a feature ). It's up to you to find a workaround. If a similar thing happens with the uranium hydration pool, same thing (but you're less likely to run into that accidentally). I'm not going to spoil what causes this, but if you're watching the GUI when you do it, it's pretty easy to notice.
• The efficiency of a uranium hydration pool increases with water temperature.
• Water colder than 0 degrees or hotter than 100 degrees will not have the right colour. Nothing I can do about that.
• Nuclear Boilers run on uranium plates - no other uranium product works as a fuel.

Also, I have some bad news for you. Lua module loading is very restricted in 0.9.0 and it will not be possible to load binary modules anymore
But if there is some functionality you really need with high performance, we could move it into the game core (or re-allow the binary modules).

I like it, almost Just from looking at it, it seems too cheap, at least without nuclear meltdowns or something...I had issues getting the temperature of the aquifer supplied water up to a usable level as well, but that might just be me not knowing how to use it properly

need a screenshot or is it just me doing smth wrong?

immibis wrote:The DLL contains just enough of Lua's code to allow it to create functions that can be called from Lua - it's the most reasonable way to interact with Lua (the interpreter itself, not Lua code), and it only works because you're using an unmodified version of Lua (otherwise the code in iflib wouldn't match the code in the game's Lua interpreter).

FreeEr wrote:Probably the same reason they disabled the io library a while back, mostly pre-emptive security reasons. Though I could be wrong. Honestly I can understand why they wouldn't want it to be available by default, but...there's quite a bit of good that can be done (obviously) using binary modules (if people know how, I unfortunately don't really lol).

Where'd you get the source code? You don't have a "Factorio staff" tag on the forums.

However he did include the source code, so from my understanding someone could compile a 32bit version their self and voila. Also, and I don't have much C++ experience, but I think there is a little Windows specific code there (but only a little) so I believe people could easily compile it on Mac and Linux and send him the binaries to host on the main topic as well, theoretically.
