Heh. I'm of the thought that a lot of recipes that take 0.5 seconds should really take a lot longer. That said, yes, while max speed is important for, say, red belts, you don't need anywhere near that many tunnels. True. It's not actually important that it takes 0.5s to produce a Red UnderThingie, ...

There's a bug report in the mod portal. And it looks similar, as I recall, to a bug I got last evening, presumbly also from your mod.

I know from Ranakastrasz, or however you spell it, that mod makers are not automatically notified about mod portal sub-forum posts.

i thought nixie tube mod was dead. :| The mod is very much alive - it gets fairly regular updates on the modportal, which is where you should be looking for mods. The mod forum is dead though! (notice there is no longer a "current mods" section, and this thread is in the ancient 0.12 sect...

Sorry, but why do I have to go to the GitHub website to see what the recent changes are? That's not a friendly website. The mobile display also doesn't work, so I have to actively switch it to desktop mode, before I can easily see anything resembling a changelog. Please document your changes in a mo...

Very nice! I have finger arthrisis (not kidding) and the number of LMB clicks required to play Factorio is genuinely painful. I mean, setting up one group of 20 Furnaces is, what, 100-150 clicks? I've used Peppe's Bot Start mod in the past (modified it a bit to feel slightly less cheaty), but this m...

Please do. The whole "no green lights, only show light if there's a problem" was a feature I didn't know I wanted.

I could add resistances to walls, which could also mean that certain types of spitters of the same size do more damage to walls than others. Would adding different types of walls or tiers or just buff the normal ones be preferable? Factorio clearly needs some kind of higher-tier Wall, based on Conc...

Given how awesome, late-gamey and prestigious the Fission Reactor technology is, the Reactor should make a satisfactory "high tech"-type sound, not just a cheap geiger counter clicking (stock) sound effect. That's fine for the Uranium material itself, but the Reactor has to sound freakin' ...

Currently, in cooperative MP, if you die, you re-spawn at coordinates 0,0. I like to build a "Citadel" at the respawn location, centered on it 2x2 map cunks in size (64 x 64 tiles) as a heavily defended fortress (Walls. Gun Turrets) with personal Chests for each player, Requester Chests fo...

It seems to be working now. Thanks!

I always use a burner miner for stone early, apart from maybe one game where i scavenged rocks. Something like double the stone, triple the iron cost wouldn't make very much difference to the game start IMO. I think even with my proposed quadrupling, it won't cause any damage. The Achievement thing...

I really liked the "horror aspect" of the Scary Nights mod, that caused the planet's natives to primarily attack during the night. But that mod is no longer getting updated, so can't be used with 0.15, and it had some problems with massive CPU usage anyway. But... I like the idea. Is ther...

Here is another one, a base-in-a-box, something you can almost plonk down right when the game starts. It has inputs for Water, Fuel, Iron Ore, Copper Ore and Stone. It has the skeleton for a single Steam Power line (max 36 MW) but with only 3/20 of that utilized. You'll have to expand it with anothe...

Here is a 10-Chunk Multi-Smelter It takes in 2x4 Belts of Iron Ore, 2 Belts of Copper Ore, 2 Belts of Stone, and 3 Belts of Fuel. The Iron Ore Belts are the ones in groups of 4 UnderGround Belts. The Fuel Belts are the 3 spaced ones (I imagine Coal will be sufficient fuel, if you fill all 3 lanes, o...

Here is a BP of simply the Brick-paved path around a 10-Chunk, in case others want to play along and contribute BPs that fits this concept: 0eNqd3ctuXMcRgOF3mTUNTF3OVFGvEnghOYNkEIkixLERQ+C7R0psLQIY0KeVYRtNgl0z5/x/d10+n969//X6/On2dD+9+Xy6/fLx6eX05m+fTy+3fzy9ff/1v91/f76e3pxu9+uH08Pp6e2Hr//2cv/4dP3p3af...

https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=194&t=41486 some inspiration from me :) Very nice! I can see why using single-map-chunks makes sense for Rail. However, one of the ideas behind the 10-Chunk system is that you have simplified input/output. For instance, a 10-Chunk Smelting setup would...

And here is my first 10-Chunk. It's a skeleton for Steam power production. It has one in-take for 6 Transport Belts of fuel (Coal will suffice - probably not Wood), and another in-take of 6 UnderGround Pipes for Water. It all then gets routed to 3 lines each of 40 Boilers and 80 Steam Engines. Howev...

This is a project I've started doing, today. The idea is to build the factory based on large units that are 4 map chunks wide (128 tiles) and 2.5 chunks tall (80 tiles). 4 times 2.5 equals 10, hence "10 Chunks", or 10CH. This way, it can be "tiled". If you have 12 times 10 chunks...

Boilers used to supply 390 kW of energy, and you needed a little over 1.3 per Steam Engine. Now they supply 1800 kW of energy, and you need 0.5 per Steam Engine. Looking at energy alone, they're over 4.5 times as good as they used to be. But they're still as dirt cheap as they were in 0.11 to 0.14 (...

Press alt and make sure that combinators are set to show signals in your options to see which letter is which. I've had "Show Combinators settings when detailed info is on" set to ENABLED since 2016. But that's not the issue. The problem is that Letter Plates included in a Blueprint, whic...
