thx BP. I had a look. That's a complicated mod with a lot of code. Almost a total mystery to me. I was able to find the term player.character in the control.lua code in that satellite uplink code. However, curiously, it is not pre-termed by 'game'. I haven't figured out why yet. Is this a player out...

great stuff Petrenkos.
I notice you are doing high tech buildings.
This is the theme we need for an asteroids mod of factorio, and alien world variations for after the rocket launch.

Keep making these gfx
thanks

day #13 of asteroidia dev : back to dev goal #1 : setting 'god mode' So far, not managed to do it. Searching the internet returns no immediate results, but it does give you this /c game.player.character = nil from https://wiki.factorio.com/Console this sets god mode, from the (ingame?) console perha...

That's VERY rich, coming just one week after the Meet & Greet event they threw for 1M copies sold. That's good. I'll try and get to the next one. But I was skint, so couldn't make the 1st one. Its great what Wube are doing for modders. Perhaps they are aware of our plight. Do you think the API ...

http://i.imgur.com/0SJl8gl.png so, I've started my mod as an independent game, like riot software did when they splintered off from the DOTA community. The grid u see is the map where objects will go. Its in early stages atm As u can see it's in python. Anyone want to join my company? Astroidia Inc...

>And they are still hiring. Hmm, I don't match their job description. Its the usual thing that happens in all mod communities : Everyone starts out as game designers, but they can't get anyone to design their mods, so they become implementers. Even though there are zero game designer working, there...

my version of asteroids would vary from yours in these respects : - It would not be an extension to F1, player wouldn't need to play thru F1 to get to the mod. It would be asteroids from the start - It would be in a mode similar to god mode, ( god mode a good approximation ) - no teleporters, use sh...

many modders here busting guts, sweating 100s of hours away, ruining their hp, to create the ultimate mod. so what happens if some modder creates the god tier mod, that every players has to dl and play, that every reviewer says ' get factorio and immediately dl and play THIS mod ', that potentially ...

wow great work doc.
So the community has at least 1 modder who understands Asteroids are the destiny of Factorio.

Are you sticking with this Asteroids theme?

what are your ideas for it in the future?

the example mod to help noobs learn how to mod doesn't appear to work with v0.15.
if someone could update it that would be useful. I can't, I'm a noob.

hi turoni, welcome to the quietest board in factorio, host to a million players, yet you will never feel so alone. lul actually its like badger watch here. the modders spend most of their time buried deep in their burrows, completely cut off from the rest of the universe, working furiously on their ...

>I have restrained myself because the people here prefer civility and peaceful discussions Good. One standard you need to reach to have adult discussion is to abide this rule : - Make a constructive comment with every post. If you can do that, your posts will always be worth something. You'll have ...

dev goal #3 This one won't be so quick to solve. The environment setting of F2 is asteroids in space. This requires : 3a graphics mod 3b map generation mod There's a fair amount of work there. Anyone know any mods that can be used as a template to get started? Or are we going to have to start from s...

dev goal #1 implement god-mode
dev goal #2 implement no night time

...so that player doesn't have to select it from custom scernario, it'll just be set when mod loaded.

Status : needs doing

Hi all, the community has just finished discussing Factorio 2 dev on the general discussion forum, and the conclusion is its time to start dev, here and now. I won't call it Factorio 2 here, thats too cheeky, but the plan is to design the successor to F1, and hopefully get the core dev team onboard ...

>I'm old therefore I know better kiddies This is a fallacious argument. When in a hole, stop digging. Do as you suggest and I'll believe you. Go to the nursery and learn from your new 2 year old life coaches then. Start a blog, write up what you've learnt every week from children that recently lear...

Hmm, its looking like this forum is no use in discussing dev, its looking like an unregulated place for 15-25yos to satiate their craving for attention by telling other people that they are wrong. >Do employers hire people 2 years before they open their business? No, they don't. So we're just messin...

> logistics in micro gravity offer less scope for player creativity. Perhaps some younger gamers like yourself, immersed their whole lives in virtual reality games, are not aware that games don't have to mimic every aspect of the reality they are portraying. _IF_ micro gravity impeded the gameplay ...

Well, I don't know how moddable the game is with DLCs. I assumed F2 dev should not be under mod restraints, if there are any. Are modders restrained in what they can make? Or can they add their own source code, getting the game to do anything? Anyway, if F2 is going to start as a mod, then you are s...

What is DLC?
I like the idea of factorio in space
