Re: Requester Chests: Read Contents & Set Requests at the same time

I think the real issue here might be separating the request signal from the set contents signal. Chests only have 1 hookup point, and a signal on a wire has neither an identifier of the entity that created it nor a "direction" on a wire, so a requester chest outputting its contents would ...

Re: Requester Chests: Read Contents & Set Requests at the same time

it would lead to infinite requests. Think for a moment about a requestor chest that is requesting its own contents, plus 1 belt, and how many belts would end up in it. Hmm, shouldn't this only end up with a full chest? I mean, once it's full, the feedback loop can't continue/get worse (a signal of ...

Re: Reverse or delete entire belt

I know you're asking for vanilla, but here's a mod that does the reversing that you could use in the interim, and if it sees enough popularity could encourage the devs to add it:

Re: Friday Facts #411 - All about asteroids

I'm 100% sure that if the stars weren't moving, we'd have THE SAME people commenting that they should, it would give a better intuition even if it's not realistic. Nope, I wouldn't. In fact, it'd be a first in any of the games I've played and I'd comment on how finally someone did it right (even if...

Re: on_entity_damaged does not get called when healing

I've never tried doing what you're doing, so I'm just brainstorming. :)

Though my Artificial Tiles mod requires passing some info from data to control, because it's all dynamic and other mods can load their own data into it, I use a dummy tech as the pass-thru, not a common file.

Re: on_entity_damaged does not get called when healing

Afaik, the event should run on the same tick. I think the only one that can run in a different tick is on_entity_destroyed, but only in relation to register_on_entity_destroyed . That said, without fully understanding your goals, etc, wouldn't it be easier to remove the healing property from the fis...

Re: Better Production statistics

That's... not a hyper-late game issue. I don't think you understand just how differently this game handles everything compared to games like Anno.

If the devs can find a way to do that without hurting game performance, then great. Otherwise, you're not gonna convince me on this.

Re: Better Production statistics

I would disagree with the idea that it can only be better to have these stats as is in game. Without the ability to specify a specific subsection of your factory to pull the stats from, then this is just extra noise for anyone who isn't building just everything feeds everything and/or runs full on. ...

Re: Better Production statistics

To add to mmmPi's (and the linked thread) response(s), these kind of stats are only meaningful in the context of where all of your production feeds to all of your consumers. In Factorio, you can segment things out in varying ways, like rows of one producer feeding ten consumers or ten producers feed...

I've nevered played around with this concept, but would on_player_used_capsule be useful here?

Re: GoG User Agreement Changes Discussion

Why would anybody get Factorio from gog.com? Why wouldn't you just get it straight from Wube? Because some people don't know you can buy the game directly from Wube. Because some people don't know and thus don't trust Wube to handle their payments directly. Because some people prefer their games al...

Re: Friday Facts #375 - Quality

Query. Can you mix quality levels in a recipe, not in the sense of t1 gears and t0 copper/iron plates, but in the sense of t0 and t1 gears? As in, you have a classic green circuit assembly setup, with quality modules in the copper wires. Does there being t0 and t1 copper wires mean it can't properl...

Re: Friday Facts #411 - All about asteroids

Using this to do directional lighting that changes throughout the day and with local light sources would be really cool, although probably a lot of work to render all the new maps. That shader stuff works best for things that rotate while the sun stays in the same place. It could work for some part...
