You can set things up with power switches and circuit conditions. I have my steam engines only set to cut in if my accumulator storage drops below 20% and cut off when they hit 50% again.

Can anyone explain Angel's infinite ore (or link somewhere where it is explained)? I see the richness goes down to .1 like it does with oil. I also see a miner that has a total of .1/s minerals in its cachement area goes through the mining action but doesn't output anything (or outputs so infrequently that I don't see it). How exactly does this work and how should I be mining these resources? I don't have any of the other Angel's mods, so these are just vanilla resources (with RSO generation).

It's exactly like oil yes but unless you have something like bobs high end mining drills and/or modules, mining the clapped out tail ends of a patch is not really worth the bother of sending a train to pick it up. Like oil, you'll find better infinite bits further out.

Pretty sure that every cycle it has a 10% chance of outputting something. Not really worth mining if you have other options (and you really should have other options unless you want your factory to slow to a crawl).

I wonder if this will be the first time for many people that they mass-produce grenades. Overall, cool overhaul, though I do wonder what shenanigans I'll have to do to get a compact science factory again.

I like how it shows the raw materials requirments in terms of actual raw materials instead of the most raw material being whatever you couldn't hand craft. E: And between infinite research and the production pack requiring stone, there can finally be an infinite drain on stone! FISHMANPET fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Oct 7, 2016 |

Lessons learned the hard way: after getting bot automation online, don't immediately set up roboports everywhere and replace all your stone flooring with concrete unless you have the power to back it up.

StealthArcher posted:Oh loving hell really. They demonstrated exactly this!  Presumably alien artifacts will still see use in the high-end armour modules and stuff, so this all looks like good changes. I also like the requirement for assembly 2s and electric furnaces to say to newer players "you should be automating these by now".

There was a post on the official forums about "rainbow belts" which is using circuit conditions on belts to ensure a good mix of any set of items on a single looping belt. https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=28414  I've been trying it out in my latest Bob's/Angel's campaign and I like it. I've also wanted to try using it on one of those big Arumba streams just to see how hard he gets triggered, but that takes too much effort to join in and stuff.

I actually wish they would expand on using alien artifacts in science, but only on the combat related research. That way peaceful progression is uninhibited but there's still a reason to go biter hunting.

I've got the game on Steam, but I've just noticed that the default version right now is still on 13.20, but that I can upgrade to the latest 14.x builds via the betas tab. Do these break save compatibility? What have they even changed in version 14? I've browsed through some of the changelogs and it looks like it's mostly bugfixes and under-the-hood stuff

There's no save incompatibility, unless you're using a mod that's not compatible with 0.14.x. And even then, you can still play the save, you'll just lose whatever the mod added. 0.14 is mostly about upgrading the multiplayer system, so it's not a huge change unless you're hosting a multiplayer server. There's been a few other small changes but nothing really important off the top of my head. Changelogs are here: https://forums.factorio.com/viewforum.php?f=3&sid=3b626f8380140065b04a7399f76fa4b1

It doesn't need any power or combinators, just wires. It's also self-balancing, so it doesn't matter if ingredients are used in a 1:1 ratio or not. It just *works*.

I've browsed through some of the changelogs and it looks like it's mostly bugfixes and under-the-hood stuff Just yesterday I loaded an early/mid 0.12 game into 0.14.13 (my toxic forest game, the last mod finally updated this week). It flashed up and enormous and very worrying list of changes, deletions, translations but it did it successfully. 3 missing pieces of belt from a mod that is no longer needed due to changes in 0.13 but that's all.

Personally I do the former and get extra iron/copper from it but it's a fairly convoluted process with filters etc. If you don't have void chests you might want to grab it (needs a json edit to work in 0.14 but nothing else). It's a godsend for angels/bobs with all the unbalanced chains.

Okay thanks I had no loving idea what to do with it, I ended up just storing it while playing this weekend but I've now got two full factorissimo factories full of warehouses chocking on it. Do recall what sort of machine you can use to get it to crushed stone? That seems the easiest and god knows I need a shitton of concrete.
