The only idea I have regarding reading mapgen settings is if you could somehow read the map exchange key from inside the game or on the initial game load. That contains the map gen settings which would give you the very small, small, medium, etc. and then you could change the scan reveal based on th...

Offshore pumps produce 60 water per second, small pumps can pump 30 water per second. You'll need to split the pipe into two pumps and then recombine it to accomplish what you're looking for. If you want to verify this yourself, you can go look at the prototypes in demo-entities.lua (offshore-pump) ...

First, thanks for the mod! Second - would it be possible to read mapgen settings and set the default initial reveal to equal the starting area? It doesn't sound like something that would be that simple, but I figured I'd ask. Then if people want to reveal more or less they can change the code themse...

That will then scan the map accordingly

Thank you both!

I don't have much control of what is placed inside. Autofill has console commands that you can tell it exactly what and how many to place inside of each entity type. See the original post at https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=92&t=1612 and specifically the section under "Exa...

I'd actually like a low/no ammo warning for turrets. We are mostly talking here about state when there is no logistic network at all - with network it doesn't matter that much since it's quite trivial to provide ammo. I'd agree that it could be annoying - maybe add the low/no ammo warning as warnin...

IMO if a turret has less than 5-10 ammo stacks then it is in big trouble. There is a warning when turrets are totally dry, but knowing when they won't have ammo for the next wave is pretty damn important. In my opinion, a warning (particularly an audible one) should be reserved for "I have a p...

I think I've also experienced this, but it's hard to tell because I perceive the ambient sound (not music) as being silent, so I can't say definitively that 0.12.5 is more/less music. I didn't report it because I thought the problem was with my ears. :D For now, I open all the music in VLC and play ...

Recently I've been starting a lot of new games, messing around with different plans for the early game and such. Instead of running around checking starting areas to see if I want to keep them, I've been using the console to reveal a 128x128 tile grid (around double the starting area) around me, wit...

I think this is a good idea, but I would like it to be "turret is out of ammo AND attempting to fire". This allows for a more demanding audio alert as it won't trigger when setting up turrets or other shenanigans where the player may have them intentionally empty. It doesn't even need to b...

I have a question about the endgame of the mod. I'm looking for something that alters endgame biter behavior so they actually feel like they're a persistent threat. Currently, my experience with vanilla biters is that they are mildly obnoxious in that they can destroy distant outposts, but it doesn'...

Ever since I read this post on how distance affects liquid flow, I've been trying to figure out the exact math behind how fluids move from one place to another. I make some assumptions about information I've read being accurate; please do correct any wrong details in the following. My first question...

To the best of my knowledge, this is not currently possible. It is also not possible to just make a machine open a custom GUI when clicked, which prompted WrenchFu to be created in the first place. Closing when you walk away is the best compromise I could find. Huh. Lack of ability to use keybinds ...

Would it be possible to add a keybind to close the GUI, in addition to walking away? Other GUIs (inventory, machines) close when you press the "e" button and I found it a bit disorienting for it not to behave similarly. Very minor issue, but would be appreciated.

This is a really cool meta-mod and thank you for taking the time to do it. It's not nearly as "fun" as putting new stuff into the game, but it can make the end gaming experience so much cleaner. I'm curious to see which mods will pickup support for it. Hopefully this will go a long way to ...

are you meant to unzip the mod before use? (Most games I mod you just keep the mod as there compressed self, so i never unpacked it.) I ask because when i try to export blueprints it tells me it was saved to the folder, But when i look for it no such folder exists. EDIT: I realized shortly after po...

Thanks for all the new stuff Yuoki! Even just starting a new game, the tab re-arrangement is pretty nice. Looking forward to checking out all the new graphics and possibly trains.

Is this still accurate for 0.12.x ? I'm looking for information on transferring mostly oil over long (>100 tiles) distances, but also acid, petroleum gas and lubricant. Assuming you're not playing with any mods that change the properties of fluids, all base game fluids behave the same in regards to...

The original poster wanted to discuss an existing idea for implementation in the base game, fully aware that the mod existed. He even said so in his first post. Your link added nothing to the discussion. I appreciate that you like mods, but trying to strangle discussion about the core game is closed...
