Yes!

Thank you Pi-C.

One of the best ways to learn, is start out by doing what Deadlock989 recommends. If I remember correctly, there are also a tutorial which walk a new developer through the process of developing mod, some suit of fire armor or such. The game itself ships with a test_mod in the ../tests/mods folder. F...

Mods are the new content right now, at least until release 1.0. I think Webe is doing the right thing, but freezing incorporation of new content at this time, and focusing on cleaning up what is currently in the base game. I think putting some more polish on existing graphics and sounds makes the mo...

I have noticed the same, an increase of CPU usage when zooming out, especially on a large map.

Although I am OK with menu bar, I recommend including the capability to import blueprints via the blueprint window. That is the intuitive location for it.

I'm neutral on the design, being used to the existing beacon, while liking the splash of red in there.

My 2 cents is to focus on cleaning and polishing what we currently have for release as 1.0 in late September of this year. Regarding the expected breakage of some mods due to some upcoming changes: First off thanks for the heads up in the FF 338, and hope to see this change sooner rather then later....

It might be possible. We already have an entity called a splitter which is a 2x1 in size, and take accept 2 belts and output one belt. Something like that can be replicated via how current entities are used, or with how some entities created in some mods are used. If someone knows more than me, I'd ...

Like many others, I would like to see hundredths, rather then tenths after the decimal. I already know, that I would like the pause button on the statistics screens. Pause button is an good solution. Another possible solution is the allowing the user to select the default sort order, for the statist...

Finally seeing this new pump on my current map.

It looks good, but it looks weird. Seeing it on my map, I like the old pump graphic more.

Once you have the graphic image or animation graphic, you need to define it within lua. Consider the following code extract using solar panels from the base game: { type = "solar-panel", name = "solar-panel", icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/solar-panel.png", icon_size =...

I like the new look of the blueprint window, and I am looking forward to seeing what Kovarex talks about in this thread implemented.

I re-read the FF#335, and have a follow up question from the General cleanup section, " ... switching the loaders to stack inserters ...". Could someone a developer please elaborate scope of change, and what the change will be to loaders. Hiladdar As said on reddit , they are only changin...

Could someone a developer please elaborate scope of change, and what the change will be to loaders.

Since you are looking at combat, the first think I would ask, is how smart or dumb are the biters, what are the biters natural inclination to combat. To what extent to they rely on principles of war, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principles_of_war . Since I am familiar the US Armed Forces definition...

TL;DR One sentence to describe your idea with a bit different words than in the subject Give the player the capability to change the name of a circuit network. What ? WHAT do you suggest? What is your idea that should be changed? Explain in detail your idea. What the game normally does is sequentia...

It all looks great, and an improvement over what was there before. Best of all, none of the animations are not distracting from the game.

If I wanted to remove a tech, I would hide it, rather then remove it. Removing the tech from the tree may break another mod.

Yes, I like it, and hope to see more of this. This is also why it is important to stress test the game not just on optimum gaming systems, but also on legacy setups. My expectation of a legacy system is something that was considered upper range about 5 years ago. I do not expect performance to be fl...

Consider trying the following: Create a global variable, call it for example, shield_effectiveness. Define that variable in data.lua prior to defining the entity or technology modifications. Give it an initial value of 150. Within the .lua code, specifically the entity that uses that shield, have th...
