Re: Friday Facts #436 - Lost in Translation

I dont get why developers are putting effort in translation issues, if you cant understand basic English you should not even game in the first place. Focus should be on game performance and network optimalization. Whenever someone argues not to work on problem X because there is also a problem Y, I...

Seconded. Revisiting localization is a great opportunity to bring back Right-to-Left support.

Re: Disable alerts for damaged walls

I've done a bit more testing. It seems there is no difference at all between walls, other military entities, and civilian entities. When any of them is damaged, you get a red notification without a sound; when any is destroyed, you get a sound. So, insofar as I wanted a distinction between walls and...

Disable alerts for damaged walls

tl;dr: Alerts for a damaged entity are useless when it's a wall, so in this case it should be disabled or demoted to a yellow notification. What: Currently, whenever any kind of entity is damaged or destroyed, a red alert triggers. A red alert shouldn't trigger when a wall is damaged, at the most i...

Re: Removing RTL language translations

Wi Are there any Operating Systems and Programming Languages that are designed out of the box to work Right-To-Left, rather than Left-To-Right ? (And would have similar issues when trying to deal with Left-To-Right text...) Windows supports Right-to-Left, which means that it works without problem wi...

Orange color for research which is 1 tech away from availability

Currently, the tech tree screen uses green for already research tech, yellow for tech currently available for research, and red if you need to research more techs before you can research this one. I think it will be very handy if there is another color designation (e.g. orange) for techs which are n...

Re: Pollution stats confusion

FWIW, I noticed the same thing, came here to report, and found this post. For reference: The entity details windows, as well as some out-of-game materials such as the wiki, reports amounts as per second (e.g. 10/s for electric mining drill). The production window shows 10 per minute for drill, etc. ...

Re: Removing RTL language translations

Disappointing. Sort of. Personally I've never used a localization, never will and I can't quite understand why anyone would want to. But it was satisfying to know that a Hebrew localization was readily available, a sort of national pride if you will (and no, it doesn't count if you have to mess with...

Re: [MOD 0.12.X] Original Music, in "HD"

Is it possible to have the original music *replace* the new one? I, for one, think that the new music is bad and its composer should feel bad. I'd much rather remove it completely and play only the original (or its remake). But when I try the obvious approach of moving the built-in music files out o...

Make night brightness moddable

The night is too bright (on some monitors anyway) and it's very easy to see everything that's going on. So there's no real need for lamps, night vision, etc. I want to make the night darker so that the game is more interesting. I'm not even talking about changing it in vanilla, I just want to be abl...

Re: Disable alerts for mundane combat

It's kind of a heavy handed 'fix' but you can add alert_when_damaged = false to any damageable entity to completely prevent being alerted when that entity type is damaged or destroyed . This would have been more effective before spitters. So you'd disable notification for walls and keep it for turr...

In this thread, we reminisce about the ways Factorio used to be much different from what it is today. I'll start us off. Remember when aliens would only attack a small set of specific buildings? You could basically leave your whole base undefended (including but not limited to your mining outposts),...

Re: Let's discuss the new soundtrack

I'm sorry, but I hate it. The old music was much much better. The new one makes me sleepy, doesn't go well with the theme of building a factory, and in general is just not all that good. I'll probably just delete the whole folder and put the original back in.
