I can't say I agree with replacing pumps with boilers. It would make sense if water was only used in steam engines, but remember that you need it in several chemical recipes too. Well, if the devs decide against expanding the coal stage, then we should at least have the possibility of modding it in...

I don't want the Offshore Pump to use electricity ssilk, I want it to run on coal/wood/solid fuel/etc. So I just suggested letting the boiler do that, since physics wise, it would work.

I'm not going to suggest any new kinds of boilers or pipes since both have been done to death. Currently to get water we have to make an Offshore Pump and place it at the edge of a body of water. http://i.imgur.com/TvsQQh6.png Now I ask you. What the heck does the pump run off of? Static electricity...

Click image for full size. And if you look at the minimap, theres a nice big pile of copper to the northeast too.

Hey GotLag, take a look at this would you?
Furnaces
Might give you some ideas. Awesome mod by the way.

And pretty pretty please can you show us a screenshot of your map with the pollution would love to see that

Its from an old save. Which has long since been deleted. Sorry.

That's 160 steam engines, so 80 megawatts of power, right? Also, do you really need that much water? :lol: WHAT PART OF OVER-BUILDER DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?! :twisted: I was basically trying to force feed the system. Didn't have pumps to push the water along when I first built it. Lolz. And yes, I do...

(Sorry but this just sounds awesome.)

You know you're playing too much Factorio when you use your car to bulldoze rocks.

Note that just changing the creeper death sound from .wav to .ogg is not enough, as the sounds are in a different directory in 0.10. Simply change the "__base__/sound/creeper-death-1.ogg" to "__base__/sound/ creatures /creeper-death-1.ogg" and do the same with the rest of the so...

Thanks! That fixed one issue. However:

Now now Koub. We must be tolerant of the less inclined. Not everyone can be Industrial Madmen like us.

Well, Electric demand satisfaction should be in the internal menu as well, as the top item. Then also add the electric demand satisfaction to the power window, And I do think it should be user friendly, but all suggestions I've seen besides just adding the satisfaction rating, IMO, won't make it an...

I'm wary of posting this thought now, but with how well the other discussion went, I figured talking about its viability would be productive. The main thought here is that Factorio as it is now is rather simple once you get down to it. Any veteran Factorio player can set up advanced production chain...

He might mean a dropped item like one on a conveyor belt.

Possibly the quickest and/or easiest way to beat the level that I have found? Run for it. Don't try to kill any of the biters. Just drive through the main nest and past the wreck without stopping. When you get close enough, Shift-Click the wreck. You'll pull the items right out of it even from withi...

I may be missing something here, but isn't what CreeperDaReeper described the same as the production meter we have now? Both his suggestion and the production meter we have now measure the current consumption and its relation to maximum production, but neither measures how much energy you lack when...

However I went ahead and fixed the bug(s), since Wuppy seems to be busy, that caused these mods to overwrite a tech instead of just adding one and also fixed the bug in RC that caused the tech to try to unlock the Repair Pack mk2 instead of the car, which incidentally lead to an error if you didn't...
