Friday Facts #144 - The gfx report

[DOSorDIE]

And now im ready for Factorio 0.13

[Bizz Keryear]

Guess I will have to watch Factorio Towns.

I approve, and it would surely be nice to see the ability to build boats and (at least) railway bridges.

I think the devs should keep boats and airplanes (other modes of transport), and corresponding enemies, as an option for special later add-on for Factorio, to raise more money on development.

Personally, I'd like to see some tundra and taiga biomes in Factorio. Lack of snow is somewhat disappointing.

Yes, and express belts wouldn't work in those biomes, because they require lubricant which freezes in winter. Biomes should have an actual effect on your factory.

building of 0.13 in progress.... On crowdin (translation system), the game was build 4 times in past 30 mn.

I imagine 4 times because : windows, linux, mac OS & serveur version...

nope ... it's because of various crashes during the build :-)

Compiler crashing or new bugs found?

[TruePikachu]

"During the build"

It's going to be the compiler, linker, or possible test framework.

The only way to do it..

[exstreamrider]

I really like the ideas you pose perhaps maybe you could work on gui and Terrain maybe even work on allowing for more snowy terrain or terrain specific items.

Why is there almost so much work and thus no free time if a great update is released?

I'm still not sure about the bulk inserters. My main (space) issue is usually smelting ovens and not unloading stations.

If nothing else, the bulk unloaders dramatically reduce the CPU cycles for loading unloading. Instead of the inserter animation playing 14 times to put something on a belt, it does it once. Plus it puts them all next to eachother in a nice compact stream.
