I'm guessing epilepsy-triggering risks ?

Re: pY Raw Ores Discussion

Well, ideally, either :
- this recipe shouldn't be available without FE
- this building should be available without FE
- this recipe should use another building without FE : looks like it used to be the washer, but it doesn't have enough fluid inputs ?

Re: Friday Facts #369 - To the moon

This is great news ! I was sad when bitcoin support was removed from Factorio in 0.17... bitcoin_in_factorio.png Back then, we had to work hard to dig rocks, hoping for a bitcoin to randomly drop from a biter hiding there ! bitcoin_realtime_hyena_world.png It's nice to have crypto back in the game !...

Re: pY Raw Ores Discussion

These two recipes are supposed to go in pY Fusion Energy's Centrifugal Pan..?

P.S.: Is the above what happens without pY FE ??

[Suggestion] Switch Niobium and Multipurpose Pipes

Currently, the more advanced Multipurpose pipes are functionally better in every way than the Niobium pipes. (And are also cheaper !) Sadly, they : - don't look nearly as great, - are awkward in terms of figuring out which direction they are pointing, and to distinguish underground and regular pipes...

Re: Mods updatable on startup

Frankly I'd love an option to start in "check mods mode" where all it does is check for mods that could be upgraded and offer the upgrade. I mean, you have to restart anyway so why spend all that time loading graphics and stuff that won't get used? But +1 to this. It's a pain as-is and wo...

Re: [MOD 0.14-1.0]Helmod: Assistant to plan its base.

Thanks a lot ! (My nullius game folder is on another PC, I'll have to check that specific one later...) A more involved, less important issue is that for instance the combustion turbine mk1 only takes up to 750°C combustion mixture. For me, it seems that all tiers of combustion turbine take up to 10...

Re: Finished PyMods (Alien Life not included)

Yeah, all those options and having to figure out what is the best path forward for your situation is what makes pY great ! (And the art of course !)

Re: Please add the ability to disable the starting bonuses

This probably deserves its own thread, but is there a way to have resources more staggered than starting/non-starting ? I don't remember exactly the early game, and it might change with Alternative Energy anyway, but IIRC titanium (?) and especially rare earths could be further out ? (Roughly : star...

Is it really an issue ? Propene seems to eat only like 2% of the lead plates in the combined silver/lead smelting with Lead processing 3 chain. (Are you trying to "power through" silver with lower tech ? BTW, Soot is a verrry nice source for early silver & gold !) (And there *are* othe...

Re: Widespread networking issues caused by a defective line of chips used in modems

Well, I have now seen people complaining about having generally terrible Internet connections (including for plain Web browsing) until they switched modems - hard to say how typical their experiences were (and whether that was specifically the fault of that chip), but also how many people never real...

Re: Widespread networking issues caused by a defective line of chips used in modems

Fair points. I was mostly surprised that I've never heard of this before and this has never been raised on these forums. And a modem is not something that you would care about changing often. (Especially if it has a minimum set of functionalities that don't obsolete too fast ?) My former ISP is stil...

Widespread networking issues caused by a defective line of chips used in modems

Now, this is a bit outside of your typical tech support ticket, but the issue seems to be both widespread and bad enough for this warning needing to be stickied on all real time multiplayer video games forums. We seem to be in the situation where hundreds (?) of millions of effectively defective mod...

pY AL alone already strains computers with its heavy graphics. Alien Biomes can push that over the edge.
