I saw the Factorio thread on the SA forums, watch the trailer, played through the demo, and bought it all in the same night. Spent 50 hours on my first game (in the middle of exam period) and am going to start my second game after my exams are done. My first impression: lots of potential. The few t...

This is just a draft, once more work is done and its reasonably packaged i can work on it more. If this doesnt work let me know. Just save it as control.lua require "defines" require "util" game.onevent(defines.events.ontick, function(event) if glob.ticking == nil then glob.tick...

That would be appreciated. I don't currently have a control file, and I'm curious how it would work.

So, according to the wiki, healing_per_tick only works on active entities, but I don't see anywhere I can set an entity to be active. There's mention of an [entity].active = true but it doesn't seem to be working, or else I don't know how to use it.

Resolved the issue. I wasn't calling recipe or item in data. It now loads up without a hitch! MOVING ON!

Tested it out, and the wall isn't healing. A bit of a problem, as one might understand

I've hit a snag in that Factorio always "Error in assignID, 'hybrid-wall' was not recognized id of item" sometimes it'll say recipe instead of item I've checked all my files, and the name is consistent across them all, "hybrid-wall" I recomends make a copy of existing item and m...

I've literally just started, so I have nothing done. My girlfriend does graphic design, so I've asked her to handle graphics. I'm kind of just going through files and figuring out what I need and where to put things.

I wonder how hard it would be to create a module to be placed in armor that would increase crafting speed...

Hey Nox, I don't know if this is an acceptable way to do things, but maybe you could look through ScrapMod's data.lua (The mod hasn't updated in a long time, so it's probably abandoned anyway) for a way to parse the recipes from mods. I imagine it'll be harder, since the return will be completely di...

I like this idea!

You have green and blue science packs switched

I'd like more info on this mod

I personally dont care if I can aim it on my own, as long as it dosent blow itself, or the things right around itself up. :D I used it for a while in its current state and its very nice, but as soon as it fired on my own walls and let the biters right through I had to uninstall it. +1 I personally ...

I'm adding this mod to the list I'll be using when playing with friends!

Does this mean that hives won't spawn Dytech biters/spitters? Also, do hives follow evolution like enemy hives?

I agree that fluids needs to be enhanced, but I don't think conversion between gas and liquid as described is the way to do it. Treat fluids and gases as separate items with temperature values, and only be able to convert between gases and fluids in machines (boilers, engines, chemical plants, etc) ...

This is a terrible idea until safe ways to cross tracks are made.

OMG! This is going to be AWESOME! I hope this allows for checking power levels as well, like demand/production.

Until the devs put in an actual warning sensor, wouldn't it be possible to create a land mine like item, but that does 0 damage and doesn't self-destruct? I suppose technically it would behave like a turret...
