Re: Friday Facts #387 - Swimming in lava

On the Maths thing, yeah I am actually very confused as to whether it is "x0.5" or "x(1/(1+0.5))" now... As for needing resources from Nauvis: Iron, Copper and Stone can be gotten in Space, leaving only Wood, Coal, Oil, Fish and Uranium, and Coal is at least on Vulcanus along wit...

Re: Friday Facts #387 - Swimming in lava

1.5 times faster, not 3 times faster, you forgot the thing depletes slower. ;) Ah yeah, 2 times faster then. A 50% increase from 2 is 3 :) 1.5 would be a 100% increase. Hah, you forgot that -50% is divide by 2 while +50% is multiply by 1.5, aren't percentage directions fun and confusing! XD That an...

Re: Friday Facts #387 - Swimming in lava

You may be able to mine crazy fast, but that will deplete your resources faster too. If you need for example three iron ore patches normally to satisfy the demand of your base, and you can do with one big one now and legendary big mining drills, it will just mean you will need to set up a new outpo...

Re: Friday Facts #387 - Swimming in lava

The Problem with the Big Drill is not really the resource drain modifier (that one is actually fine) but the insane coverage it has, enabling a LOT of beacon based shenanigans that were simply not logical to use with the normal Mining Drill, unless you wanted to shift the Mining Drills over by a few...

Re: Friday Facts #387 - Swimming in lava

Yeah and because of its insane range you can fit a LOT of things between Miners and then add Speed Beacons inbetween too! This whole thing makes Rich Resource Spots much less valuable to acquire, as Mining Productivity, Mining "Efficiency" from Quality and the Big Drill, and Modules can ma...

Re: Friday Facts #388 - Smaller things for 2.0

Regarding the number parsing... I'm surprised nobody mentioned this before, but the most interesting activity about this for me would be trying to break the game via code injection . Who knows, naybe there's a CVE lurking around the corner ;) Why? Why break into a program on your own computer? You ...

Add pls to checkbox `Trees/rocks only` Cliff -> `Trees/rocks/cliff only`. I don't understand why didn't add cliff here right away. Did you know you can put Deconstruction Planners into the Blueprint Library already? You can make a custom Decon Planner for "Coal Rocks only" or "Cliffs...

And please, don't even think about delaying construction bots to after traveling to another planet.

Re: Friday Facts #388 - Smaller things for 2.0

Pretty sure a previous FFF did state you can have your old Saves, was the Rails one as far as I know.

Would be pretty useless to add backwards compat for old Rails if Savegame compat wasn't a given. XD

Re: Friday Facts #388 - Smaller things for 2.0

I feel like cliff removal should be super force building only, and no longer in regular force building. It is quite annoying to have to unmark cliffs from decon when building defenses that incorporate cliffs. Not to mention you need to be mindful enough to disable your roboport or remove Cliff Explo...

Re: Friday Facts #387 - Swimming in lava

Something I've always wanted is for entities to have unique IDs, so that we can create names, descriptions, and other custom properties. If the game can't know what recipe created a particular entity, then it's unlikely the entities are unique. So you want a quite insane amount of Data bloat for ev...

Re: Friday Facts #387 - Swimming in lava

Good thing that the new mining drill will allow to faster clean up the almost entirely depleted ore fields. Doesn't that get cancelled out partially by the reduction of ore consumption that the more efficient drill does, especially if it has quality enhancements? Also one would THINK overlapping Ra...

How big of an internal tank do these things have then? Edit: that's what i get for a slow oil spot, decided to beacon it up and at 500 it stopped... (according to the pipe network it was 600 but the pipe itself is 100) Welp, that's what I get for removing advanced fluid handling and thinking "w...

[1.1.98] Pumpjacks keep working even though adjacent pipe is 100% full

My Pumpjacks keep working even though the adjacent pipe is 100% full. I do not think this is intended as it did not do that in the past, and when I google searched for it to doublecheck I did not imagine something, I saw people on reddit saying "you dont need to stop your oil rig with circuits,...

Re: [Rseding91] [1.1.12] Cannot place ghost outside range when taken from quickbar

So I got to try it in 1.1.13 and THIS time it at least gives me the "can't reach" message when trying to place the Ghost, which narrows the Issue down slightly, codewise at least.
