Re: Friday Facts #376 - Research and Technology
Ah, nullius type rech unlocks. Very nice. That actually helped keep that game's massive number of tech tiers under control. However, I still don't feel quality is right, and you still should have alternate recipes instead. But more of a substituting ingredients thing, using a red circuit instead of ...

Re: Friday Facts #372 - 2022 recap
What is your opinion of these people who put together personal/useless mod packs on the portal? Do you think they pollute the mod portal? My opinion is that there should be an option to password hide such uploads, because it is far easier to sync custom, personal mods for multiplayer instead of the...

Re: [MOD 0.17x] Flare
It appears that the hack I used isn't functional anymore. Explosions don't seem to support light anymore, or at least I can't see how. All instances of explosions now seem to have their light parameter commented out, so I would have to find a new dummy to create light with.

Re: [MOD 0.17.x] Modular Armor Revamp
I have no intent to further update this mod. Almost all of the things this mod was made to address have been implemented. I will update Modular Armor Rescale, as it addresses the only real issue I see remaining. -Solar-Nuclear Gap. Gap went from 112/750 to 336/720, which isn't as unreasonable. The h...

Allow Offshore Pumps to be built on Landfill (Groundwater Pump)
TL;DR Allow for Water source even after landfilling. What ? When you try and place an offshore pump, treat landfill as both water and land. Why ? I find it annoying that you have to be extremely careful when landfilling to avoid deleting all local sources of water. given that Offshore pumps aren't ...

Re: Alt-F4 #55 - The Dark Alleys of Modding
For my Modular Armor Revamp mod, back when modular armor solar panels were terrible, I had two things I wanted to do which I had to work around. Burner generators, and fusion reactors running on alien artifacts, both just looked at your inventory, but had to loop through the whole equipment grid to ...

Re: Worker speed 3 and utility science.
More specifically, all tiered researches, damage, robots, inserters, etc, don't include their science pack prerequisites, aside from the first one. Not entirely sure why, but given you clearly can't research them before that science pack is researched and produced, it isn't a huge deal.

Re: Visual effect on big power poles or substations
One big thing is that if you have several places making power, I.e 20 solar fields, wherever they easily fit due to fluid nature, plus a reactor or two, it is easy to break the network and not notice immediately, because there is still power, at least for a while. Would be nice to have the power ove...

Re: Mouseover the "toggle personal roboport" shows where your construction bots are
I agree.
Visible bots is already an ingame option if you open up the megamap, but you still have to search manually,
As a second alternative, there is a debug option that draws a teamcolored line between your avatar and all personal robots. F4 menu, don't recall the name

Re: Intriguing red dot
I have seen the same thing. A red dot, in radar vision, but no worm, biter, or anything, radar is a snapshot of what was in a spot when it was scanned, if it's a migrating / expanding party then they will probably show up on the map but not be there when you go to look. Sorry, when I say radar visi...

Re: Filtered Chests Like Train Wagons
True enough. You have to determine stack size of all types of items that might end up in the chest, and use that to determine how full a chest will end up being, use that as a limiter to avoid the chest hitting 100% capacity, so as to ensure there is always room for inserters to insert one of the ot...

Re: Acid pool stack
They get bigger, but I have no idea if the damage increases, if the sticker damage stacks, if larger/deeper flamer puddles deal more damage, or what. I don't generally stand in front of my own flamethrowers. They both deal more damage and last longer when stacked. For clarification, are you talking...

Re: Acid pool stack
I was wondering if the flame puddles (from handled and turret flamethrowers) also did stack in their effects or not. Might seem unrelated, but both fire and acid puddle could behave the same way (either both stack, or both don't). They get bigger, but I have no idea if the damage increases, if the ...

Re: Acid pool stack
Generally it is when you don't bother dodging, or keep attacking the same angle, so the whole area gets covered in acid. took me a while to get the hang of it. Before spitter rework, it was pretty much a dps race, no manouvering involved aside from chosing the angle and retreating. That said, damage...

I might have not communicated correctly. I believe all of the entities created that move outward radially to simulate the blast wave all individually deal damage as they pass over other damage-able entities, meaning a constant effect of "select all entities in radius" and "Deal damage...

Less Laggy Nuke
The nuke is, admittedly, very impressive. However, it seems to involve creating a lot of entities, each of while move away from the epicenter to create the smoke cloud, and presumably all deal damage in a small radius constantly as they move. This, naturally, tends to cause the game to lag when lots...
