The problem is that the mining drill stops mining as soon as the drill can not release the ore to the belt. Wouldn't that mean that you have some backpressure? Drills do store one ore though, if you rotate a stopped drill it will release 1 ore in the new spot before resuming drilling, is just that ...

I don't find one option better than the other, I use either depending of the situation and what I want to achieve, so I can't vote.

Joules is Watts per tick not Watts per second in the internals.

Not true. It takes several seconds to discharge an accumulator at maximum output. See https://wiki.factorio.com/Units#Joule_.28J.29

neither, just use pipes and a pump always on, the pipe's own capacity is enough as a buffer.

200 mags for a big worm means your ap-ammo damage isn't over the 10 points of flat resistance of the worm, do some upgrades. Problem is that this is early-game cleanup. It shouldn't need upgraded ap-ammo. ap-ammo alone should just clean house at this stage. This change made the whole endeavor point...

You're in a 32bit machine. The minimum requirements for factorio is a 64 bits system, although I do see that /bin/i386/factorio exists, but doesn't run for me.

I think the game right now in terms of launching a single rocket is "spot on" with any of the presets. Nothing about the the baseline is clunky. However, you did add "infinite research" drives "bigger and bigger bases" without adding in features to make "bigger an...

The UPS cost is because factorio is doing a basic simulation of the heat flow, just like it simulates the flow of liquids (afaik both are the same system), if you remove pipes, of course you get more UPS since you're making the network smaller and is less work to simulate. The other more performant ...

Found two patches. But still pretty hard to find without cheating it.

can you share the map string?

However now I believe that is the window manager catching the keystroke because, like in most distros, alt is for clicking and dragging a window. In any case, using the alt key is always problematic in Linux OSes, I would just rebind it to something else. I haven't ever seen that use of the Alt key...

you probably don't have the shortcut enabled then, the HUD is the search bar that lets you type-search a command of an app instead of using its menus, you can't miss it when you press alt. I tried disabling that shortcut and I confirm that the player stops walking when I press it. However now I beli...

No, the Ubuntu HUD is bound to the Windows key on my system.

Just to be clear, typically the Windows key in Ubuntu opens the dash board, not the hud. You aren't mixing them up?

Is not profanity, but feels like propaganda though. This is not a historical game where the mention of "the fürher" would make sense in the context. The baker's intention was likely to troll and generate controversy.

Simplified simulation of typical electric networks of Factorio megabases would probably be possible to program fast enough (especially if wiring would be more clever) (it could use another thread) but it would need efficient programming with C. The "would probably be possible" is a feeble...

When a burner inserter picks fuel for feed itself (and not for load a container) the read hand contents signal will pulse twice.

Attached is the image of a test, the decider combinator is set for count everything, with 1 solid fuel and 1 iron in the belt, results 2 solid fuel, 1 iron.

Aluminium and silicon are the most obvious resources missing IMO.
