Re: Friday Facts #374 - Smarter robots
Wow, great super. What a FFF! I like the improvements (who wouldn't ?) The amount of nice "demos" showing the before and after, especially.

Re: Friday Facts #374 - Smarter robots
I have played this game for hundreds of hours (in early Early Access), but never used robots. I think they are a cheat. I only build my factories with belts because I like the difficulty of getting the logistics done sort of like in a real world city. Are there many people like me, or does just abo...

dump-map (ASCII) Invitation for comments
So, I did it - or rather - tried it. Writing a mod. First encounter with LUA, too. So, it probably has multiple issues ranging from code style to dangerous code segments. I know it is ineffcient as hell, probably due to lack of experience with the LUA paragdim/Factorio structures. "dump-map&quo...

Re: Unstable chunk/tile count?
Thank you for the hint. "is_visible" means showing live to the player (always 25) in the map - or any radar (50 each, unless overlapping of course) So, still looking for something that indicates if the chunk is shown black or rendered in the map view. Maybe my question was unclear. Backgro...

Unstable chunk/tile count?
I have started to write my first mod. This will make a simplified but printable map - when one needs a world overview. The mod is at version 0.1.3 (more of a POC/test) and can write lists/counts of chunks or tiles. Although I reload the same small map and give my "/dmpmap" the count of chu...

Re: Print (simplified) map
Thanks for the replies. (especially hint to the luapngencoder) I only know FORTRAN, Algol, APL, FORTH, C(++), BASIC (from Dortmouth to Visual), Pascal, Prolog, Java, PL/SQL, Python ... well, know and know, dabble in them, so LUA is just nr 42 or so. I started hammering my way through it and the Fact...

Print (simplified) map
I've looked through 100+ mod descriptions, but can't find something that is vaugely close to a "print map". I can use the /screenshot, but that is with all graphic detail and that gets inlegible when trying to print a larger map on one A3. I can't get the map (key M) to print, apart from t...

Re: [0.16.51] Factorio Ultrawide Monitor support?
Good solution for me would be to let player zoom-out so that 200 tiles are visible over the shorter side of the screen, and on the longer side fade tiles beyond "player's vision" to black fog of war. +1 from me, and don't let this stop you from implementing it ;) I presume that the minima...

Re: Replay works with adjustable zoom level

In particular when I review my biternest battles, I can not see what I shot at a rocket distance away. The rocket just goes off screen.

Restart - UI, same seed option
TLDR "Restart" with same seed (or not) WHAT The current "Restart" menu option generates a new map, although with the same parameters. I'd like it with the same seed as well, i.e. it is identical in layout. I presume biters start the same place, but are like me free to "expa...

Re: Achievement: Fully Automated
It should also be borne in mind that a lot of people get a bit obsessive about getting all the achievements. It seems like it would be quite annoying to have an achievement that amounts to "Leave the game running without playing it for an hour." Well, that makes it a different achievement...
