...things should not only require 0.5 sec to be finished... I agree with this - I seem to recall there have been some official talk about rebalancing crafting times back around the time 0.10 came out, but nothing of that sort ever happened. To be honest, I fear now may already be too late, as there...

In short - not probable, at least not in the short term.

Actually, since research progress is now continuous (rather than discrete, as it was before) this is much less relevant.

Do you have characters in one keyboard layout that don't exists in the other?

There is an option when starting a multiplayer game (where you set latency, etc). If you use an headless server there is a command line flag `--peer-to-peer` . It seems as if in both cases the default is not to use peer to peer, so I may be mistaken about the NAT traversal issues (needing or not nee...

The connection, or more precisely - the latency. In Factorio multiplayer each peer still runs the full simulation, so there is no real "server", however, when hosting you can disable peer-to-peer network mode. This means that while each host still runs the full simulation, packets are only...

Multiplayer portal is already planned for 0.13. As for avoiding port forwarding - this is sadly impossible with Factorio's network model (AFAIK). If you disable peer to peer mode you don't need to use port forward (Except for in the server), but performance would probably suffer. Edit: FFF#116 has s...

Are you using any mods?

That's probably not possible, but it's functionally the same as limiting the map size, so you can just do that (leave enough so that all visible chunks will be water, which you can fill with the map editor).

Then just start with any seed, possibly with limited map size, and change the land all around to water...

I'm not sure such a thing exists, as I don't think the map generator is able to generate such a world.
You could however create something similar with the map editor, but it would obviously be unplayable, so I'm not sure why you'd want to do that.

I think the point about TCP was that it takes care of packet loss and transfer speed for you, so it can work fast "out of the box", at the price of being more rigid (less customizable).

But it's great to hear the network code implementation is being improved!

It refers to page flipping. Basically the time it takes the GPU to change the display from one frame to the next. I believe this value includes the time waited for VSync, so a large value may not necessarily indicate a problem, but I'm not sure about it.

No.

Multiplayer naturally needs net connection (but you can have LAN multiplayer games), and if you get the Steam version the cloud synchronization may take significant data, but you can always turn it off.

I think the problem is that right before the turn you go through only one splitter, so basically you only have half throughput. Since you have a balancer right after the turn you don't need one before the turn, but if you want one before the turn make sure you do it right (you are missing the underg...

Not sure which Allegro version Factorio currently uses, but presumably it should have been possible with 5.2: https://wiki.allegro.cc/index.php?title=Allegro_roadmap

The water edge tiles are graphically very skewed towards containing more water. Look at this picture: http://i.imgur.com/xN97tQR.png I have added grid lines to show where tiles end, but these are basically the water edge tiles used in Factorio. They are between 60% to 90% water, although these tiles...

[Koub] Moved to Duplicates

As I understand it the resolution is pending 0.13, meaning it is not yet resolved, but they will work on it for 0.13. Not that it matters all that much

Another issue which is possibly the same bug: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=23678&p=150340#p150317

It seems to me it's related to this bug, perhaps even exactly the same, so presumably it is waiting for 0.13. I'll leave a link there to this thread.
