Re: Bioluminescence - Because lamps need not be the only things to glow in the dark

I just wanted to say I love this mod! I have been using it with Space Exploration and it works pretty great and ever since I started playing with it I now cannot live without it! In fact in my updated forum avatar you can even see a glowing plant!

Re: [2.0.7] Error loading Space Age expansion

These are two different games which don't seem to realize they are two different games. They have to be installed separately, even though they will attempt to install together.

edit: issue solved. Factorio 2 as it turns out CAN be installed on top of Factorio 1 and even shares the same version numbers, despite being a different game which should be installed separately. There should be installation instructions somewhere but there appear to not be any.

Reduce water volume to 1/10th

I want a mod which cuts all water amounts in recipes and in storage and production to 1/10th, so that it takes up less space. The amounts of water used in a lot of processes seem like comically high amounts, oil processing in particular is weird because a lot of oil products seem to contain more ...

Re: Vehicle Acceleration/Top Speed for Cars


I think cars should have a fixed acceleration, no matter what fuel you are using. Without gear change it would be hard to drive precisely otherwise. The maximum speed might be increased though. The tank should accelerate fairly good, but being simply cut at a rather low speed with normal fuel ...

Re: Vehicle Acceleration/Top Speed for Cars


Fuel has no bearing on how well a vehicle can brake or turn, so a fuel modifier for these makes no sense. We can already mod these directly, although I would support a research tech being able to mod these as well. But it doesn't make sense to be on the fuel.


Don't attack an additional ...

Re: Vehicle Acceleration/Top Speed for Cars


If the top speed modifier is indeed not affecting cars, then that sounds like a bug report.

Cars do not have a top speed attribute. Their actual top speed is a function of their acceleration power and their current friction values.


I also fail to see what fuel has to do with these:

Vehicle Acceleration/Top Speed for Cars

Currently, the top speed modifier on fuels only affects the top speed of trains. The acceleration modifier on fuels affects the acceleration of trains, but for cars if affects both acceleration and top speed.

I wouldn't know, but at a glance I suspect it might be Titanium by brevven causing the issue. Also, by the looks of it, you are more likely to get a prompt response there. So I'd try reporting it to brevven.

Add more ways for fluids to affect the flamethrower turret beyond only damage.


Fluids in Flamethrower Turrets

Re: Map Laser Turret Color Red

Why don't all turrets have the same color? We don't have different colors for different types of factory buildings. You want that level of detail, that's what you zoom in for. There should be one color for "defense system" across the board.

Neither complex nor lacking.
Until you try to make it stop flickering. This is a standard solution that is proposed way too often by people with too little experience with the topic. Please stop.


Note that this would make it utterly impossible to charge accumulators using a steam engine.

I think the power switch should have an optional SR mode.

In the normal mode, it always reads the signal and updates immediately as soon as it changes.
In the SR mode, it has two conditions, an on condition and an off ...

The real reason that turret creep is a common strategy

It is an extremely common strategy: when taking land from enemies, setup a row of turrets near their spawners, and setup another row a bit closer, until you have placed the turrets within firing range of the spawners. Common, and highly unpopular. Many players insist that this should not be how the ...
