Edit: wrong place for this comment. searched the suggestion forums and it is planed for 0.16 anyway.

Considering that it can detect mod discrepancies, would it be possible to have a button that says "automatically reconfigure and relaunch" or something that would check, download and turn on/off the necessary mods to be on the server, and then relaunch with those mods, immediately to the log in screen of the server?

Just a little reminder for everyone with (water < N) in their nuclear reactor setups: don't forget to change it to steam to not waste any fuel cells. I already wasted some...

Awesome. Do you guys plan to add most of the high res graphics during the 0.15 polishing phase, or is it going to come all at once with 0.16? I remember I read something about HD terrain barely not making it, so hoping to see it before the 0.16. Great job with fixing the bugs by the way.

Why... Why Steam for the Coal Liquefication... some people are already complaining that it requires Heavy Oil to get the process started... and now it requires you to burn even more coal (or whatever) in boilers or nuclear power to keep the process going?

Man, I'm addicted to this game all over again. Thanks for the bot fix; I'm looking forward to checking out the visualization for the rail debugging.

I personally like the change, you can always just use the normal crude oil recipe if you dont think this one is worth it though.

You can bring steam with a train from the base and there's a lot of steam when using nuclear power. Not really a problem.

Does this mean that using preheated steam from boilers in heat exchangers doesn't work anymore?
no yes yes no yes no yes yes

I'm in the process of testing it...

[Edit]

Nope, it's broken. Doesn't work anymore due to fluid collision problems as I expected. My entire power plant is wrecked.

Well... fuck it.

On a side note that's it, that's all the disappointments I can take for a major version. See you guys around 0.16.

I don't think it's that bad. You need coal and water for coal liquification anyways so using a boiler just before the steam input fits nicely. On top of that it discourages building bases powered by solar only which definitely makes things more interesting.

It's strange.. all non vanilla entities with pipes can't be rotated to up and right direction.
Another hidden changes in prototipes ?

Added burner mining drill in high resolution and replaced the normal resolution version.
Strangely enough, that's the entity HD version I was looking forward the most. It's one of the first you see after all, even if you don't use it for long. So it's fine, but the screw looks strange where it penetrates ground. Wouldn't it be possible to "cheat" a little with particles or anything to give the impresssion it actually mines the ground, and not just disappear ?

Indeed...

Code: Select all

two_direction_only = true
In Storage-Tank prototype...

That was because of this.

"I've changed storage tanks so they always build in north or east directions."

EDIT: It's in the changelog too "Fixed that storage tanks used 4 directions although visually only showed 2 so they would conflict in blueprints."

Give a man fire and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

They changed the font used in factorio? I think is smaller and hurts my eyes.

seriously, is thinner the font of menus and buttons. It hurt me a lot I cant read it.

Yes, just returned from fixing "brain" logic of my power plant to note this thing :D This is pretty surprise at 100+ hour of game. Hope I didn't forgot to change water to steam somewhere... :?

I totally agree, exclusively using solar is too much of a set it and forget it way to play for me, half of the fun is tearing down and rebuilding, and trying new layouts. As far as Coal liquefaction needing a kick start with heavy and now needing steam, I think it makes for more of a progression, which is why it comes later than standard and advanced oil processing.

And lets not forget that we're playing an experimental build, the idea is to fix bugs and try new things. Builds are almost guaranteed to change or break.
