Feature Request: Override activity timeout on a per station basis

Much like priority let me define a signal on a station that sets the timeout in seconds. When generating the schedule for a train, look at the signal and use this setting instead of the default, if available. Much like keep slots empty. I generally work with a large timeout, which makes sense given ...

Re: [0.16 / 0.17] LTN Tracker - a GUI for LTN

Is there any forum yet for the successor? LTN Manager, iirc? Any release date for an alpha/beta?

LTN Tracker is really missed here.

Re: [MOD 0.13.17+] Rampant

18.3 seems to have been made but not pushed yet and there seems to be some build confusion. As per https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Rampant 18.3 was released, but as per https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Rampant/downloads it still is 17.32 ;) Thanks for that. I think that concludes my needed mods to start ...

Re: aliens needs multithreading :/

Biters: The short answer: everything. Since biters can trigger Lua events that means literally all mutable data is up for mutation. The long answer: Just like fish: as the biter moves it mutates its position and bounding box which other biters will use for collision detection Just like fish: biters...

Re: aliens needs multithreading :D

Not so much biters (though the higher strategy there and pathfinding also needs, agree) as Radars and artillery. Basically every cannon should have targets identified in a separate job which gets distributed to the thread pool. Possibly this can happen in parallel (!) with other isolated phases (i.e...

Re: LTN Depot train size limit

And what is the problem? You are aware depot names can be many? Depots are chosen by name. Just use different names for different lengths. Depot-1.C4 Depot-1.C2 Depot-1.F2 Cargo 4, Cargo 2 and Fluid 2. Trains return to a similar named depot. Also helps keeping trains in "areas" (Depot-1, D...
