But on Mac Mini with Intel HD Graphics 4000 it works perfectly fine. Probably windows 8 reserves much less video memory? I think on mac it depends on amount of normal ram. I have 16Gb of ram, so the system reserves 768Mb for video ram. Probably, just probably, there is a way to force increased amoun...

-root, do you know that you actually increased solid fuel consumption, by replacing steel furnaces with electric ones?
At least without efficiency mods in later.

Meditation Cleanses the Soul! - Factorio - The Hydra Dilemma #30

That was awesome intro

Inserters normally put twice the amount of items needed by a machine to produce something. In case of smelters they need one ore, so inserter will put two ores. You don't need to stuff machines with components. This won't increase production rate, but a lot of items will be there unused, while they ...

While there is no (easy) way to tell how many construction bots you have, there is definite sign that you have too few: when you place construction plan and the game tells you that some objects are missing construction bots! Basically you need couple dozens of bots for repairs plus double or triple ...

Mmmm... Odd number of underground pipes? Fish's curse

Hydra is known for an ability to grow two new heads instead of cut one.
In your case each solved problem creates two new ones

Transporting copper cables for electronic circuits production is actually a bad idea. I think like 3 or 4 AM2 producing EC at full speed can consume all the throughput of an express belt full of copper cables. You better redesign your EC production for direct insertion of copper cables. As for coppe...

13 is considered as unlucky number by a lot of people, but it's lucky for me

I tried to use shadowplay to just record video with commentary. Works fine. But you need to upgrade GeForce Experience to latest version where they added shadowplay for desktop, since factorio fullscreen is actually not really fullscreen, but a borderless window stretched to the size of a desktop (a...

In my experience destruction bots are starting to be of use when there are at least 15 of them (i.e. 3 capsules).

If everyone in the team are pro players, it wouldn't be any different from a regular playthru by a single person.
And fixing a mess in a non-destructive way is indeed a challenge!

For everyone in the northern hemisphere it's summer time. People enjoying good weather!
I predict more activity with multiplayer update and autumn

Underground power cable. 3x3 power coverage at ends and 10x1 the cable itself. Something like 10 plastic and 20 copper cables, and 4 iron plates. Hmm, that might be possible to do. But what would be the purpose? Wouldn't it be of more benefit to just put down 2 substations and power a much larger a...

Do you have enough items in provider/storage chests?
Probably as soon as item is ready, single bot takes it and moves to requester?

What about 0.10.6 for mac os x?
The game insist that 0.10.4 is the last version.

Thanks! Yes, the problem was with names.
In case of alien science there was no directory 'alien-science' inside of zip. I unzipped/zipped it with dir and it works now.

They need to upgrade the belt!
