Re: Allow an encrypted version of the token to be stored

Looks like they want to store the game password in an encrypted file on the server host?

I made Factorio with the hope of creating self replicating Factories from the start, so yes, this will be the top part of the pyramid, and it should be possible finally to do things like that

Re: Super force build should be the default.

Agree that this is a bad idea.

Anyone who wants it can swap the keybinds easily enough.

Re: Spidertron Improvements , SCOUT and FORMATION

LoL , i thought its possible in the current version .. its quite annoying to manually move spidertrons to new positions .. that itself is taking 40% of my game play.. You can tell spidertrons to follow other things then repurpose the remote, but the drag-select is 2.0. The two mods I really want to...

Re: Spidertron Improvements , SCOUT and FORMATION

About the formation thing specifically: All you have to do is manually line them up once. When you select them all and move them around, they will stay in that formation exactly as you’d like. It’s practically already a feature. Scouting could be kind of nice, but it seems a little too easy almost....

Re: Spidertron: Allow stopping movement when robots are active.

Other considerations: The spidertron must make a choice when a build order cannot be completed due to a lack of items. If the spiderton is moving over a rail line and stops for each rail entity it builds the build order will be slow, and look goofy. It might choose to move until it does not move it...

Re: Hold R to rotate rails in ghost build mode

You're talking about a "radial menu" to set the ghost rail rotation.

Not a bad idea, espeically with the new 16-direction rails.

Wow.

(Also, it doesn't appear your game has blueprints, so that's an instant fail)

Nope, they have the same health as big worms. It's only the biters+spitters that take multiple shots to kill.
Do artillery shells have a damage dropoff?

Re: Burrowed Worm Graphics should be Updated.

Behemoths still take 2 shots to kill in vanilla, pretty sure.

Might be only if you're trying to use shells efficiently and aiming between worms?

Re: More range on the speaker

Yeah, glissando won't sound perfect (can't do that with MIDI-equivilents) but will sound better. The common ones are the "Scientific Pitch Name" and the frequency. Musicians talk in scientific pitch name, oddly enough. As for representing frequencies in low-precision numbers, you want to t...

Re: More range on the speaker

If the factorio sound engine could do stuff like that, then the better speaker mod would be a tenth the size it is, and /base wouldn't include sound files for square or saw. And just to avoid a misconception: "Full grand piano range" isn't talking about the instrument, it's talking about t...

Re: More range on the speaker

The reason for expanding to full range before adding more instruments is that we can mostly fake most instruments with the ones we have so far, but like you said, we're missing notes. The reason for full grand piano range first is because that covers everything except the ultra-bass instruments, and...

I use the CUT shortcut as a quick way to get a decon planner onto my cursor, so whatever the solution is shouldn't break under that use (it seems such an obvious shortcut). ...how is ctrl x faster than alt d? 1) I didn't know about ALT+D. 2) ALT requires moving my thumb from the centre of the space...

Re: More range on the speaker

The ideal priority order for programmable speaker improvements is (imo): Technical improvements that we can't mod in. Then expanding all current tonal sounds to a full grand piano range (A0 to C8) as CyclicSounds. Then adding the missing instruments from the MIDI spec with their full ranges (also as...

Re: Let construction robots place items that were just deconstructed nearby

Maybe by having the bots pausing for some seconds after deconstructing, to see if you paste the items you've just cut? I don't think those extra seconds before they head back to the mall to drop their load if you don't paste the recently removed items will make a significant difference. Or if cut w...
