Have to say that I never tried mods before, so probably I'm doing something wrong... However... I downloaded alien-science.zip, dropped it into mods folder and I'm getting this: --------------------------- Error --------------------------- File C:/GameZ\Factorio_0.9.8.9400\mods\alien-science.zip|inf...

How do you calculate how much accumulators capacity you need to make it thru the night?

I think that turrets and walls should be allowed to be moved around. As your base expands it's only natural to do this.
@FishSandwich: Also I think that fixing science belts is a minor change. You should have done it.

That was hilarious guys
Keep at it!
I feel that Infectum13 gonna be the source of chaos for you to wtf about
I'm glad that he is in the team

Uh. I wasn't clear enough. Allegro probably reinits opengl context on it's own on resize, and this might be the cause of the problem. Without reinit there are strange visual artifacts all over the screen. If loading and message handling are in different threads, then, probably, the image that is bei...

Well, you can speed up the first case to the same speed as the second by putting 3 blue inserters in front of AMs that are making ESs.
But yeah, this scales extremely poorly.

I did some measurements and here are results (all AMs are without modules). This produces ES at the speed of 96 items/minute: http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h480/e-Xecutor/ScreenShot2014-07-23at172814_zps0f2dd0f1.png~original And this produces ES at the speed of 264 items/minute: http://i1111.p...

Yeah. It's better to place more turrets and no walls then turrets behind walls
And... Probably piercing bullets and assault rifle have higher DPS ATM...

Just some wild guess, probably completely unrelated. When I was messing with SDL+OpenGL, I had problems with window resizing on mac os x. After awhile I figured that opengl context must be reinited after window resize, in order for viewport to display picture properly. Another note, may be unrelated...

With biters settings next to max. This is my 2nd attempt in freeplay. First one is still going, but I find it way too easy on standard settings. My appreciation to FishSandwich. Thanks to his playthrouths I managed to win. Some parts of my messy factory are visible :) http://i1111.photobucket.com/al...

Ha. I usually maximize game window during loading (right after start)...
Now I tried to wait till the end of loading and then maximize.
No missing images so far.
So ... my guess is - during maximization the game might skip/fail to load an image.

Here are details: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=4865 One more example with low res setting turned on: http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h480/e-Xecutor/ScreenShot2014-07-21at143737_zpsca2ff356.png Looks like one (or probably more) random image fails to load sometimes.

I like your playthoughs very much :) Your pronunciation is easy to understand by non-native speakers (and your mic is good). While watching your hard mode I started my 'not-so-hard mode' game. i.e. spawners settings one step lower. I'm still behind you development wise, but I'm already getting big b...

Now I tried. At first everything seemed fine. But then big biters appeared and they were flickering. Unstable nature of this problem makes it quite hard to diagnose. Once I had first frame of assembly machine missing, so when I tried to place it there was nothing at cursor. But if something is missi...

I restarted the game and the flickering gone, but this time wires were totally missing. All the time. But their shadows were in place. I restarted once again, and this time everything seems to be fine... My guess is - sometimes the game fails to load an image. When this image is a frame of an animat...

I just noticed that wave of flickering is periodically runs thru my factory. With some luck I can catch this wave when I press escape and then some machines might be missing. Here top middle is missing: Screen Shot 2014-07-16 at 15.12.06.png And here (the same place) two at bottom are missing: Scree...

The question is - why shortage of coal on separate system affects water flow in a system that is well fed with coal?
They aren't connected!

It's very strange... But when I fixed coal shortage of upper pack of boilers, the water pressure issue resolved itself!

p.s. Water temperature in 5th boiler in chain is 100. Is there any sense in adding more?

Here:


This pump is connected to 10 steam engines. Why only 0.5 water???

I noticed power shortage and built another steam engines pack. But that didn't helped. While I tried to figure out what's wrong, I noticed, that one of pipes connected to water pump have only 1-2 water in it. Water pump next to it has it's regular 10 in it. But this one only 1-2. I've built another ...
