Strange, perhaps mods messing up with it.

If you're really want to split a belt, you can use a trick with underground belts, wiki explains that in details: https://forums.factorio.com/wiki/inde ... anes_trick

Test Setup: 0.10.3
1. Put burner inserter somewhere.
2. Insert stack of wood into it.
3. Drop coal in front of inserter.
4. Inserter eats coal - coal disappears into the void.

[snip] It'd be interesting if you could force the cars to stay on the pavement, so we never hit any buildings. Similar to how the train moves except you could freely move. Theit8514 described it very well, it would be difficult. The direction a car drives in cannot be changed by mods, so currently ...

Alright, I'll raise oil allotment a little and add to multispawn of some resources. @SHiRKiT, looks like a normal map, I've found an oil deposit on already explored part of the map @ 1500, -1217, there is a chance that more oil is below nearby biter base. A tip: explore every inch of the map, don't ...

"Restart" just generates completely new map, if you want to restart a particular map then go to load game, select save and press "Map Exchange String" copy it and go to new game and paste that string in there, it may or may not work.

Thanks, I can throw away my per-tick rotation code then

It is possible, ois is supposed to be 4 times rarer than cooper and iron combined and is 1.5 rarer than lava . Lava could produce big number of entities if rolls, but in your game it seem to be too much lava. Perhaps oil is too rare and lava is too common with all additional mods installed, too many...

A general solution is too expensive to implement right now, the "special-case" solution gets rid of 90% of problems, not so special I can say. There are two main problems with map generation: 1. Starting on 2 tile long island. (rare) 2. Starting area is completely surrounded by water (very...

Bump. What if Factorio ignored both folder name, zip names, any file system names. But instead used "name" property from the info.json?
Right now mod naming is still crippled, zip-file-name == mod-folder-name or you gonna have a bad time.

The issue with that is Factorio can/will fail to load the mod properly unless the zip is renamed to just the mod name and some people fail to realize that when downloading (occasionally even when it's noted right by the download link) which leads to (multiple) posts regarding loading issues (same w...

If I understood correctly, the guy basically wants an ability to switch between instances of factorio installations along with mods/saves. This is accomplishable by external launcher which renames/moves directories around before starting the game (or bunch of zip installations and another buch of sh...

There is a quite simple solution which involves zero changes to map generator - after has been map generated check that we are not Crusoe and regenerate map again automatically, or at least tell the user that he is going to spend the rest of the game with "Friday" (If he manages to find on...

Thanks for the report! I didn't updated my installation of DyTech for a while, sand was removed from that mod, I've update my mod's config accordingly. Small patches in chess pattern are by design, they are less rare but you would not get much from them, their purpose is to get you at least small am...

After playing RimWorld for a bit I can definitely say that randomly blowing-up accumulators are fun! :D I would vote for wind turbines as new alternative clean energy source. Electrical engine and ability to transfer power over rails would be nice too. Also, "portable" diesel generators wa...

The purpose of this mod is to introduce all different means of illumination: spotlights, floodlights, searchlights, thrown lights sources (glow sticks!, flares), biomass lights(!?), solar powered lights... Everything will seamlessly integrate into the game, including new technologies and production ...

Follow up: If something like "always draw" flag is implemented it would be essential to have ability to toggle it during runtime. I would write an intelligent drawer for semi-statical objects: player's view does not teleport around (usually), camera moves only one tile up or one tile left ...

Only rotatable entities are usable for the purpose, otherwise I would had to draw 360*number_of_colors textures just for light cones and it would eat all video memory, "player" type is not usable for another reason - you can's keep him at certain angle, he snaps to 8 directions. So only a ...

Thanks. Still better than always true, a check for how much was actually inserted can be done manually.
BTW, can "insert" method return inserted amount? That would make things trivial.

Yes, It is a mod, a screenshot can say more :) http://i.imgur.com/AZTCWyo.jpg Spotlights can be rotated at any angle, not just 8 default direction. But if center of rotation is not in the same position as light source - it will look weird, and I have no means to disable car's light until rotation is...
