A change in one of the last few experimental updates I mean, I don't think the damage changed at all, it's just now the flamethrower shoots at the mouse cursor instead of just in its direction.

I liked the flamethrower dynamics more before, when to shoot nearby you'd hold fire for just a moment, and after a short period of time it'd reach to full range.

Edit: This change occurred sometime after 0.13.0 and before or in 1.13.13. I was already in 0.13.x

On Factorio 0.13.13 single player, the "Built By:" on my structures is blank, no text as to who it is built by.

I have my Factorio username set up in the options and have a Factorio account, it is alan2here.

Thanks for the info It's a shame that the evolution factor never normally decreases. I'd hoped improving the factories pollution output would cause them to attack less, dominating the other factors such as play time for a long time.

It'll be interesting to see, I think I'm quite good already but I would love to see whats going on more.

So I will soon be able to check the evolution factor, improve my factory to produce less pollution, wait without attacking or burning anything, before checking the pollution factor again to see that it has decreased?

I played Minecraft for ages and it never seemed to get a server browser and never really worked well for me in multiplayer as a result. It is great to see that I won't have to type URIs or IP addresses

Does the "experimental version" on Steam have the new inserts? Or I should just be patient

Do you mean a grid of yellow chests or a line of alternating red chests and inserters from one yellow chest?

I agree, this is good.

That's impressive

WaiTex uses waifu2x that uses a convolutional neural network.

I've expanded one of the examples even further

Long term storage for the logistics system.

We can increase the resolution of the textures in Factorio with algorithms that have a guess at what the extra pixels might look like from the original pixels available.

Surely it will burn if you aim this ridiculously powerful laser on it:

In my experience, there Is a sweet spot. Very powerful lasers cut though things without heating them much.

So long design:

Continuous lasers like a great idea.
