Re: [2.0.20] smart bot update doesn't consider bots running out of power

I have seen this several times as well. I don't know how fixable it is, but it does look kind of odd when it happens.

Re: Went to Gleba first -- how to deal with stompers?

I have been told it's important that mines are further away, prior to when the enemies aggro to turrets, for them to be properly effective. Explosives are a great choice anyway, and as such, rocket turrets and explosive damage upgrades should most likely be high priority. For me, running around and ...

Re: Posibility to take and and add items to the Cargo Bay

My first thought was how incredibly powerful it would be, when I first thought to try it. It makes sense that it's not allowed, it would be basically overpowered, both on planets and on space platforms. Pretty much all of my ship designs would have been reduced to "add cargo bays and don't both...

Re: [2.0.15] Lower UPS than someone with same CPU

Factorio is indeed limited by memory speed more often than CPU. You'll have to compare your hardware specs in more detail, in particular, RAM memory.

Re: [2.0.15][MacOs] Deconstructed Space Platform Buildings sometimes disappear

I was gonna post about this myself, I have a save file. Turns out, as I'm doing it, an inserter grabs a building item and gets stuck, and the building is marked as missing. It was happening when I was doing a full space platform super force build and undoing it. That made an inserter grab an item, s...

Re: Isn't mining in earth orbit too OP?

I don't think space mining increases evolution on its own, but on DW in particular, evolution increases rapidly even with the mere passage of time. I have more than 50% evolution caused by just time, and deploying new space ships has been a pretty time intensive process for me as I'm learning it. Ho...

Re: Isn't mining in earth orbit too OP?

I used it for producing extra belts, but that's about it. It's also no doubt the reason for why you can only have 1 cargo landing pad. But even then, it's usually easier to take a new ore patch, which produces a much larger stream of ore, and efficiency modules greatly reduce enemy attacks. Evolutio...

Re: Friday Facts #436 - Lost in Translation

I am very impressed. Customized support for "IME troubles" is exceptionally rare to see, and I'm very glad to have it. It is just that little bit of extra annoyance, having to carefully convert words in IME, just because you want to search for something, so this can really help make it smo...

Re: Auto-launching of mixed rockets

Re: YAFC - Factorio calculator/analyser for modded games

I have to say this is by far the best Factorio calculator I have seen. Every other calculator seizes up after I throw a complex optimization problem at it, but not this tool. Admittedly sometimes I need to prod around a bit, when I get it stuck with impossible inputs, but the important part is that ...

Re: Friday Facts #422 - Tesla Turret

I feel like the graphics for the bounces/chaining could use a small touchup. Maybe something like a few small particles, or a small impact effect. Other than that, it looks and sounds great!

As usual, good changes. For panels with multiple lines of text (so you have to hover to see it in full), maybe it would be useful to have a small visual indicator that there actually is more text to be displayed? Like a small "[...]" icon in the corner or something. The point is, then user...
