The tracking of which mod changed which prototype seems to be very reliable, so that could be used to figure out what may need normalization. But instead of each data:extend I'd do it after each individual data/data-updates/data-final-fixes.lua is done. The problem is not that the game has to handl...

A less breaking version of this would be to normalize in data:extend(), so you can initially set either version but when reading you always get the array version. That would probably be more implementation work though. You could do that with a mod. But also dealing with direct assignment will be co...

Is a 1/sqrt(n) lookup table faster than doing the computation directly? Maybe if Lua I guess.

Yes. Only the most simple functions will break even or be faster than a predictable memory load. But more importantly, having it as a table makes it trivially modable.

I went throught my "pair wise operation" book, which is the one you published plus some of the wonky addition i made but i don't have something similar.

You're on the right track there. Is your copy older than the latest burst of conversation in that thread?

if I read your post right, you forbid connecting inputs with only other inputs, same with outputs. However, you can see this being done in blueprints to correctly join the overall inputs and outputs; possibly even with both colors to designate that the input or output can take either wire color. I ...

I have reassembled this, it should have been obvious in retrospect that without any constant combinators or instruction for attaching the blueprint to something else, it can do a whole range of things, from nothing at all if you just look at it, to any of the individual operation if you attach rand...

You can take a look at how Space Exploration solved this, which, I believe, is done via collisions on ground tiles. Space-only building collide with all natural ground tiles, land-only buildings collide with the space platform tile. Obviously, this wont help you in case some ground tiles are used on...

Space the stations in such a way that an odd number of rolling stock fits in between. Then they'll line up in both directions.

Your pictured 1-4 is six rolling stock long after accounting for the locomotive going the opposite direction. Try e.g. a 1-3 or 1-5 setup instead.

I agree with Tertius and mmmPI, this probably wont take off. For exact replication there's blueprints, for other conversations the syntax will be made up on the spot. Also, for larger contraptions this gets unwieldy very quickly. But I'll attempt a bit of a review: distinction between arithmetic, de...

Will the current version of Factorio support the next Switches 12gb of system ram or will it need a patch to work on that system since I heard it will be backwards compatible with the current switch software. It should be fine. Ram doesn't require anything special to support differing amounts. If i...

Only if A = B it shows nothing. There could be a special derivation to show the number that's just 1 combinator connected to both constant and doing if A=B output A then a wire of the appropriate color to connect the ouput as both LCM and GDC. The same seems to happen if A is an exact multiple of B...

As far as I understand, correct if it is not so, all logistics networks are polled in turn. For example, there are now 25 networks on my map: 1 is large in the main production, several in small-scale industries, and the rest of the networks are on the perimeter of defense and on resource extraction...

If I understand correctly you want to output signal-A with the input count of signal-A when any condition passes. This is what the Anything special signal does already. The current behavior is more useful, especially for counting the number of signals that pass. While inconsistent, not a bug, and u...

Aren't the keybinds still available? In any case: /unlock-shortcut-bar

If there was a distinction between "can't fix" and "wont fix", […] And then we get posts pointing at any 3D engine showing that such situation could be properly rendered to get it moved out of "can't fix". Or on how to attach height information to every sprite and movi...

Is this an average throughput or rather an exact throughput ? if i understood the description it's not an average, it's a perfect count, I'd call it a running or moving average, but since the measured duration and the displayed duration are the same, it ends up being the same as a sum and exact. ev...

Thank you! Fix saves me a lot of time!

It has been fixed upstream in the meantime, so just update your mods

As far as I'm aware, the Switch version is identical and interoperable with the PC version, with the exception of mod support (due to Nintendo) and some limitations due to the limited hardware capabilities. For definite answers check the announcement and staff posts in the related forum thread , or ...

No, it is not because it Features, Only a Single Combinator.

I was referring to this , which is described on the wiki, including a picture.
Addendum: Which Trig90 now copied here.
