In Factorio, there are no bigger men. We are all the same size when zoom level is accounted for. Perfect harmony of sameness.

Edit: unless there's a mod for that.

Make it so you get bigger instead of pollution. So after a while you have to redesign your base to be able access things as you're now 10 tiles wide.

I would legit play that mod -- if I could also go hand to hand with biter behemoths.

GotLag posted:

Reading comprehension ain't your forte. Literally any time a non-empty rail tanker stops in front of an unfiltered inserter for any length of time, it will pull the dummy items out. The rail tanker will regenerate them up to its fluid level, so if your train stops somewhere unintended it really can completely poo poo up a belted supply chain.

This is not what I'd consider an "edge case".

Anyway I'll be the bigger man and stop this derail now that I've had the last word.

Unless i'm reading this wrong, can't you just filter your inserters then? I tend to filter train stations by what they're carrying and then filter out further from there too.

I was thinking that you could reskin the bugs and bug lairs to villagers and huts or something. Rather than have them attack you could just have them flee or something. Maybe there would be a special turret that bags them up...

The latest FFF - https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-148

It's by their US dev Rseding91 and mostly concerns optimizations he's planning for 0.14. He also reckons 0.13 should be stable by the 1st of August as they have ~60 bugs open and the rate of new ones has slowed right down.
One thing he's added for 0.14 - trains have kill counts in MP games. Drone, your shameful train deaths will be recorded

Its funny they call it a minor feature. This is such a huge small change for quality of life trashing for wood, artifacts, and belts that need upgraded.

It probably shouldn't be called trash at this point though.

There was a mod for this a while ago. It was amazing, and also let you auto-trash above a certain amount too.

It actually only really took adding the "hey I'm 0.13 compatible" flag because there's no (game) scripting, none of the pertinent formats changed, and I wrote it to adapt to new biter types (so behemoths are handled), but now I want to tweak the numbers because :spergin:

Also I'm lazy, so I may never upload it to the mod portal. So here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rtzfar1bli37j5n/Biter-Bites_1.0.0.zip?dl=0

There may not actually be a path around it, at least before you drive over there and trigger the generation of more chunks.

0.13.11 is out

code:

    Small changes
        Further locale changes and polish.
        Horizontal mouse wheel scrolling is now translated to vertical scrolling, because of key binding problems on OS X. OS X blueprint book binding is changed back to Shift + Mouse wheel up/down, other custom horizontal mouse wheel bindings are changed to vertical.

    Bugfixes
        Fixed that the Linux binaries would crash after handcrafting finishes. (29614)
        Fixed offshore pump could be built on top of other offshore pumps. (29705)
        Fixed pumjack output would show 0.0/s. (29650)
        Fixed that "show pollution on minimap" didn't work when "show pollution on map" was not enabled. (29651)
        Fixed scrolling on OS X.
        Fixed exploit of connecting energy producer to more networks and connecting them by switches. (28249)
        Fixed long handed inserters couldn't pick up from the ends of cargo wagons. (29343)
        Fixed that when a mod defined a technology with an invalid recipe, it could crash the game. (29701)

    Scripting
        Fixed accumulators with circuit connectors not working correctly when exported through get_blueprint_entities(). (29727)
        Changed LuaSurface::find_entities/filtered to take either area, position, or neither instead of just area.
        Added LuaGroup::order read.

A much shorter list, they're pushing hard for stable on the 1st of August.

I bought this game and even though I haven't gotten to blue science yet (keep rerolling maps because the initial rush is so much fun) I did play with a bunch of trains today. It was great. I want to use more trains, they look so goddamn productive.

But I tested it just in case and it seems like it only worked in one or two patches ago. :/

So I won't do that, unless I want thousands of biters coming after me. I'll post a update when I have revealed the whole lake.

I think they've improved path finding quite a bit since then, but I had a map like that a version or two ago, and as I ventured around the lake I found huge piles of biter corpses where they tried to get to my base and couldn't so the pathfinder killed them.

From patch 0.13.10 - Map generator tweaks (predictable starting area resources, water only in starting area works now, fixed a few bugs in biome generation).

So yeah, if you're saying that string now generates something different, that will be why.

With 15 whole seconds to spare. Got kinda nervous at the end when the launch animation seemed to go on forever.

Can't believe I was something like five minutes under 15h in my last run and now eight hours wasn't a big deal at all. I bet I could do under five hours no problem.

# ? Jul 26, 2016 01:56

Bhodi: Dec 9, 2007; Oh, it's just a cat.; Pillbug

What did you skip and what did you get to make the 8 hours? How much planning did you do? I'm about 40 minutes into my run and only have my iron plates done and am starting on red science / copper.

I'm not sure how many things I need, I vaguely remember I'm going to need a TON of steel though. I calc'd it's 26 furnaces to saturate a single yellow belt so I went with that.

Just skim through a factorio speedrun video. They're around the 2 hour mark now with a fixed seed but you can adopt a lot of the same strategies for around 4 hours on a random map.

The Upgrade Planner seems to have been refactored slightly, and I can no longer use it to only remove trees and rocks without removing anything else. Anyone know of another mod that add a blue print that just removes trees and rocks?
