Re: Space Age, Quality (and a little bit of elevated Rails)
I may be wrong, but I would imagine that for the Quality "module" you need to have the Space Age "module" enabled as well. Exactly for the reason that otherwise they would have to make different research trees and possibly change/balance recipes for all the combinations. I would ...

Re: Railways – The pain of a perfectionist
Yup (although you could for dual track RHT ;)), but then you have folks asking for signals to be placeable right on the tracks instead of beside them, again pulling out the same pics as this OP did as justification. True. The ability to do it will likely build up to become its own precedence case w...

Because you cannot even place signals in between there if the rails are this close next to each other. So I doubt people will even make much use of the possibility in practice. ^^

Re: Railway stations – Hell for a perfectionist
Why is there an asymmetry in different directions? As Illiander wrote... It is the 1 tile offsets (from couplings) in a 2x2 grid which result in asymmetry when making stations in the opposite direction. Just let them fix it. To be honest I am not sure if they can fix that. The 1 tile offsets in a 2...

Re: Friday Facts #409 - Diminishing beacons
To be honest I don't know how to feel about the change. ^^ But mostly that is because it changes nothing about the meta. People will still do 12b/1m setups... or alternating rows of beacons & machines. Simply because that is the best you can do with the range Beacons have. There are only 2 thing...

Re: Techtonica makes me depressed. Factorio could be real 3D
Highly depents on the sprites. I remember the old days, the sprites would not be nice to revisit :D. Old nintendo games also look like shit, if you remove the nostalgia goggles. Can't help it. Even some games from the NES/SNES era I still find visually pleasing after all this time. xD Also highly d...

Re: Techtonica makes me depressed. Factorio could be real 3D
And here I am playing Factorio for one of the reasons because it has 2d sprite graphics. That is how opinions diverge. ^^ I always feel like stylized sprite based games have an age-less charm that cannot be replicated by full 3d games. They are like manga or comics. They don't age; somehow our brain...

Been burned to many times by Devs. Believing is seeing. Sorry to the guys who will hate what I am saying because they maybe see Wube/ factorio as cant do wrong.

Re: Friday Facts #406 - Space Age Music
I don't know this must also take into account the relative speed of the platform and the asteroids, as if the platform move faster than any asteroid, then the "back" doesn't need any defence against incoming debris. I'm thinking of the triangular shaped starwars super destroyer. It would ...

Re: Friday Facts #406 - Space Age Music
I like the rocket turrets in the video in the space platform, i like the animation of the platform regrowing after getting hit, i think the shape of the platform is not very efficient because it will act like a space sweeper for asteroids, maybe it's the aim, otherwise orienting the rectangle the o...

Re: Friday Facts #406 - Space Age Music
No, just heavier than normal gun turrets. Having finally gotten the chance to watch the video and seeing the rocket turrets, those could be it (or there could be more). But they're not firing many rockets, so they could be low on ammo? And the platform may be moving a wee bit fast to give everythin...

Re: Friday Facts #406 - Space Age Music
Artillery clearly is unlocked: On one of the planets you can clearly see a rail artillery car moving with a train. Doesn't necessarily suggest that it is the same savegame because I am sure they have dozens of savegames in various states of a "typical" playthrough. At least I would not se...

Also that is one big frikkin Asteroid. How are you supposed to defend against those, the ton of Gun Turrets was clearly not enough! Probably have to upgrade the damage output or more likely... artillery. Maybe artillery isn't unlocked on that save yet to blast that one to pieces before it enters th...

Ah nice. The Vulcanus one is like "You were my brother Anakin, I loved you!" Or at least I expect them to have their duel somewhere along the lava shores. Full orchestral for a factory builder is kinda a bit unexpected. Maybe a bit too overly dramatic, but maybe that is just me. ^^ I like ...

Faster subsequent rocket launches = nope - if you make the expansion such way that more rockets is needed, then rather add new tech, more tonnage ( item capacity) technology to research. - start of a rocket should stay a precious moment, always.

It's actually more trivial than that. You can just decide that any object with an y coordinate "higher" than the foundry's top position appears behind it, and everything else appears in front of it. Looks like inserters just have a higher z index than the foundry, but making it variable d...
