Re: Friday Facts #384 - Combinators 2.0
I've recenently managed to design almost-fully-functinoal vector to vector divisor. It has some flaws (i.e., it likes off-by-one errors due to calcuations precision), but it generally works for larger numbers. How it works: Divide a very big constant by a denominator Use vector multiplication to mu...

Re: \data\core\backers.json file
When you grab the file from Github, you should take the version that matches your currently installed version of factorio, not the newest one. This change from 3 weeks ago is likely giving you trouble. If everything else fails, you can always head to the factorio website and download the whole game ...

Re: Friday Facts #397 - Factoriopedia
Looks normal to me, foundry (tech) unlocks foundry (recipe) which creates foundry (item) which places foundry (entity). In 1.1, techs that only unlock a single thing also tend to follow this pattern. You're right about the naming, but as far as I've seen in the FFF, the corresponding research packa...

Re: Why doesn't my train run
You don't need signals as long as there's only one train. Once you add signals, track that is supposed to be used in both directions always needs them in pairs; having an unpaired signal makes that section of track one way, and if you happen to have unpaired signals on both sides of the track no aut...

Re: [1.1.101] GPU Performance issues
short answer: factorio tries to use multithreading whenever possible. For details, see the FFF blog posts; optimizations, including parallelization, are a recurring topic there. The ideas and suggestions section in this forum also has its share of great multithreading ideas(tm) and why they won't wo...

Re: Is a train junction parallel multiplexer possible?
Thanks, guys. I think I get it now. Maybe, maybe not… I should have a LOT more space in between my wait area and my drop off area, and then build something like sparr's 4-to-6 mux junction (but perhaps scale it up to 20-to-10 or something). Not necessarily. Depending on how many trains go to each s...

Re: mod communicating with the outside world
isn't it a major security issue to be able to run arbitrary code from a remote device ? What you can do via rcon is the same as what any mod and any player with access to /c can do; you're still constrained by the limits of the modding API. And since the server owner has to explicitly enable rcon v...

Re: Friday Facts #384 - Combinators 2.0
Some time ago I was thinking about how to enumerate all non-zero signals in a circuit. I thought that I didn’t have enough knowledge about combinators, but it turned out that this is now almost impossible. But at least it will be like this until version 2.0 I'm curious what you mean by "enumer...

Re: Friday Facts #383 - Super force building
You misunderstand. It's not a 1-tile chokepoint, it's a landfill being placed every other tile like [L W L W L W L]. This is walkable by the player, but impassable for biters. You don't need a single gun to defend it. It's been many months since I've played, perhaps they've corrected this? It's eve...

Re: [1.0.0] Error InterruptibleStdioStream.cpp:61: Got EOF on stdin; closing
Unless told otherwise systemd passes /dev/null as stdin, any attempt to read from it will result in an immediate EOF. Since as far as I know factorio doesn't actually read from its stdin, this "error" can be ignored.
