I started my rail system with a circular rail-path, so no traffic-head-ons, so more throughput even if it means for some train to make the longer path. This. It's very easy to setup a circular path. Just make sure you add the stations in the right order And on the correct side of the rail. I've mad...

It would be neat, sure, but I like spreadsheets and no one can take that away from me!

2. FFF#266 basically overturned the mod API in other ways too, and this is not such a good deal for Wube if they're saving themselves just a few hours by removing things from the game to waste hundreds of mod developer hours to put them back in for players who want to keep them. It is more economic...

*snip* +1, so many +1 I consider my Factorio game decently modded, but none of them touch mining. Why? Because the vanilla game is fine as it is in that regard. I don't need super massive insane mining platforms that will dig up 100 ore/second in a 12x12 area, especially not with the infinite produ...

So, how do fluid tanks figure in? A lot of people complain that they're inefficient UPS-wise. Do they count as a separate entity, like an assembly machine or miner? Do they split pipe segments?

So with new walls, turrets are just begging to be put on top of the walls as a strong foundation for them. Ohhh yeah, just like Warzone 2100! https://media.moddb.com/images/games/1/1/275/wz_fort.JPG One of the most amazing games I have ever played! I could see each of the turret types taking some c...

This looks nice and all, but it has its own collection of problems. There are two kind of blueprint items now: blueprints that are only in the inventory and blueprints are also linked. 1) What happens when you put your linked blueprint into a chest, is it still linked? 2) What happens when your lin...

Haha, this is awesome. Good on your dad for trying to overcome problems on his own!

See, not the way I play. With Rampant & Natural Evolution and the settings I've got, it seems like a group will chew through a Tier 4 1000HP wall pretty quickly if I don't kill them fast enough. Of course, the way I add mods is a bit of an arms race... "I think I'll try some tougher enemie...

You and others may also be interested in my " artifacts " branch on my Github repo, it has the version I've been playing with that uses Natural Evolution / Bob's enemies artifacts instead of biomass in the Alien Bioconstruct recipe. I had to remove the NE dependency yet it worked just fin...

Not entirely sure why you felt the need to rename the entities 'hybrid-wall' to 'hybridWall', but I went with it, and updated the item and recipe names to match, and added them to the migrations script. I'm pretty sure I was using at least some of the changes from the repo, since there were tiered ...

It looks good, but what about when requested power exceeds installed production? That's also the biggest issue I have against a fixed bar; if you have something exceeding whatever you have fixed at the end of the bar, then what? The "installed production" element isn't fixed to the end, i...

Except that those fake reserves are exactly what you use to cover spikes or nights by using steam tanks. That is not an argument in favor of the current Electric network info tab... You're talking from a seasoned player perspective who has mathed out his power production and looks at this page mayb...

I've actually been wanting to remove the ore and instead have biomass drop from biters/spitters. It makes more sense that way.

Ah jeeze, didn't realize that my working directory wasn't the repo directory...
Anyway, I've fixed that, as well as an error when placing the walls/gates.

I'm glad they're making the science pack unlocks clearer in the tech tree. Just last night I was looking for the blue pack unlock. It was not where I thought it was.

In fact I'm going to dig a bit deeper on this one. During development of the game, they made solar panels too powerful. But rather than nerf panels, they gave us modules to soak up all that excess power we didn't know what to do with. But then players quickly figured out how to abuse speed and prod...

Looks like an issue with the Induction Charging mod you're running. I'd suggest checking with them if 1) it's a known issue and 2) if they already have a fix for it.

I did a quick mockup of what I think could be a potential solution that is (hopefully) more intuitive, I took a bit of inspiration from Frostpunk: Electric Network.png The bar would be normed to the currently highest absolute value. Peak production would be the maximum power output of Steam engines...

There's a fair bit of discussion about this very problem.
Suffice it to say, that you have an abundance of power production. So much so, that you're only consuming about 1/4 of what you can produce.
If you do actually run out of power, the top bar will be yellow or red.
