Re: Make the API less rigid.
As a rule of thumb give modders enough information and utilities to fully emulate existing stuff without copying the built in entities. I don't understand this - you want to be able to emulate existing stuff but without copying existing stuff. The statement contradicts its self O.o Not really a con...

[MOD 0.12.x] Deathcycles - Drive Fast, Die Often
Behold, placeholder art! http://puu.sh/jQ4bS.jpg Deathcycles are the perfect vehicle for those times when you need to get across your factory right now or die trying. They are fast but fragile. Very fuel efficient, but without any cargo space. Also, they have a shotgun, because their one true enemy ...

Re: Biter bases
respawns are not magic. Groups of biters form from existing bases and move together to go found new bases. So if there are no biters, there won't be new biter bases, ever - well, except in new chunk generation, if you somehow changed the map gen settings on a save - dunno if that's even possible?

Re: [MOD 0.12.x] Logistic Combinators
Thanks, this was greatly needed. I have 2 suggestions for the mod. One thing I would suggest you add to it, is that when placing an Logistic Combinator, then highlight the logistic area so it's easier to see if you are in the logistic area, just like the logistic chests and roboports does ;) If you...

Re: Labs and Research Rates
labs basically craft research. This. Back before a12, there might have been some waste sometimes, but with a12 it's supposed to be always percentage-perfect, with the magic science potions being depleted gradually as research is crafted from them, rather like Ammo cartridges are gradually depleted....

Re: Labs and Research Rates
labs basically craft research. Each technology has a research recipe - with ingredients (science packs) and a time to craft in seconds - and a count, of how many research must be crafted to finish that technology. Ex, automation 1's research recipe is just 1 red science pack, and takes 10 seconds, s...

Re: [MOD 0.12.x] Nixie Tubes - numeric display elements
I am a bit concerned about the power usage. I mean 8 kW isn't super expensive, but it's not cheap either. A row of 5 Tubes, to display the contents of a bunch of Tanks with 5 digits, is 40 kW, that's almost 10% of one Steam Engine. Well... Maybe it is right. 8kW seemed about right to me, but I just...

Re: Game clock
evogui includes a clock, and can be configured to show only the clock if you really want (by default it shows the play time instead of the clock, because reasons, but click the little "s" to open the settings)

When you rotate twice, belts that used to go down now go up. When you flip, the belts still go down.

Re: [0.12.x] RSO Discussion thread
As for multiplayer support - I'm a bit reluctant to play with it due to lack of ability to test stuff. You will need to make sure that starting areas are stored and then used to ensure that nothing is spawned in starting area size distance from each of them. It shouldn't be difficult to add tho. Ye...

Re: [0.12.4] Can use level 3 modules in basic beacons
this is the first time I've heard it suggested they're not supposed to. You can insert them by just inserting them normally, too, it's not unique to ctrl-clicking or anything. Preeetty sure this is intended and expected behavior?

Re: [0.12.x] RSO Discussion thread
With forces having been more fully implemented in 0.12.x and pvp, or any mp modes with multiple teams with separate tech etc - becoming viable (see klonan's start on a pvp mod here ), the question of multiple starting areas has begun to come up in earnest. Last night I decided to start poking at RSO...

Re: Build time 0.5s for Logistics/Construction Robots
As a rule .5s seems to be the crafting time for "things most players will never mass-produce, only hand-craft." Bots are a bit of an exception, but ultimately your production is limited by the 20s for a bot frame, and it seems reasonable in my head at least that the difference between a lo...
