An issue I see with turret creeping though: If you place turrets just outside of biter aggro range and then wait for them to charge up, you can then place a second set of turrets in firing range of the first turrets so they get covered while they're charging, and then the second set of turrets can s...

If you're referring to how the balancers don't redirect stuff if one of the outputs is cut off, that's because they're all meant for continuous throughput just like Madzuri's are.

Otherwise, I don't know what you mean by the inputs and outputs being imbalanced.

It's been a few months, so here's a 2 space 16 belt balancer.

I know that Factorio's full screen defaults to whatever the resolution is for a given monitor, but windowed allows for resizing the game at will. However, as far as I can tell there is no in game mention of what that resolution actually is, nor is there a config option to set it to a given resolutio...

Ideas for vehicle equipment modules: (snip) Item Scoop - [medium] allows a remotely controlled vehicle to pick up items off the ground, allows a vehicle with a plow to pick up ore from ore fields as it moves Picking up some ores would be nice, but how about the trees we'll eventually be driving thr...

"but it also keeps the clients from having to deal with the synchronisation and shit."

I'm still laughing about this.

On baseline medium/regular settings there seems to be a large disparity on whether a given resource is generated in the starting area. I heard one person say they didn't even have copper or stone in the starting map, though there might have been the newly minable stone rocks in their base to get sta...

0.13 notes This mod -will not- work properly with 0.13 and I have no intention of making it work due to 0.13 making this mod obsolete. If I do make a train mod for 0.13 then it will be a new mod with a different name so people don't get mixed up. If there are enough people who still use 0.12 and wan...

I could do an update for the 8L Train Project to add support for Stainless Steel Wagon, but with 0.13's update to trains I see practically no reason to add anything more to my mod. If enough people end up staying with 0.12 then I could update it, but I don't foresee that happening.

Nope, this mod only adds an animation to the front of assemblers. No accumulators.

I wouldn't recommend having armors themselves give inventory space, unless the armor research itself gave space that was permanent and totally independent of the armor. People switch armor setups and neither dropping the extra inventory on the ground nor disabling those slots until armor is equipped...

Something that's been bugging me for a while now is it's possible to run into a big worm very early on. A map I just started had a big worm in the second base I cleared, and I'm not even into green science yet to get the starting turret and bullet damage upgrades. I kill everything else around it, b...

Obstinate, I made a pull request for you on the Github that nearly halves the number of lines of code needed to make the mod work and would enable supporting other mods much more easily if you'd like.

That sort of inventory problem can be addressed with a "trailer", I.E. a cargo car for the car. More cargo space comes at the cost of mobility. A trailer might not be feasible given the current programming and how clunky the driving tends to be. However, a new larger ground vehicle could ...

I have added a list of what versions of other mods my mod supports. For my mod (or any mod for that matter) to be functional you need to make sure all the optional supported mods are up to date if you are using them.

I have to revert to 1.2.2 now, the trains all shrank in size. All wagons are now 6 car lengths instead of 8, in the bob's mods trains at least. I don't have anything but MK3 wagons anymore. This update really messed up my rail network big time when I added it, so I have to revert to an earlier save...

Yup, if you add this mod to an existing game then you will need to pick up all the train entities and place them down again to get them to the right lengths. If I knew of some programming or whatever that could fix the issue I would happily and quickly add it. May 1st, 2016 update: Added support for...

And thank you for making this mod! One thing I am really hoping can work with this is having a little electric monorail system or whatever that only transports the player character. Useful for going around the base. I noticed you've got a bit of a problem in the code though: In the item.lua file you...

Is the Shuttle Train button on the top left supposed to show up before having researched Shuttle Trains? I recently added the mod to my list (and I'll also be supporting it with my 8L Train Project mod) so it has been brought into a map that has everything else researched. The button is also showing...

The OP forgets to mention you've added Armoured versions of locomotives and cargo wagons in addition to the MK2 and MK3 versions.
