this is what i came across a few days ago { type = "ammo", name = "grenade-shotgun-ammo", icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/basic-grenade.png", flags = {"goes-to-main-inventory"}, ammo_type = { category = "grenades", target_type = "direction"...

so it figures you can use oil to create power, then use it like normally...

An anti-light, that makes surrounding look as if it was midnight :) [Edit] not knowing LUA DOES NOT HELP IN ANY WAY. remember kids: LEARN LUA True story bro, it didn't exist (at least it was virtually unknown) when I was in school :cry: the problem is, i AM in school. this school doesn't have class...

welp, i'm dry on ideas, and half of these things are impossible to create

not knowing LUA DOES NOT HELP IN ANY WAY.

more than one output from a recipe, without using the chemical plant. is it possible?

I made that chest you wanted :lol: Ok, but when I see all that changes, I think, we can call this version 0.0.0.2? More ideas: - a new recipe: iron wheel without hole; an iron wheel where the punched inner hole is still filled. Such wheels can be recycled, but as side effect you get the inner point...

Another signature and must have feature of your mod in my opinion should be a completely pointless research which gives absolutely nothing or something completely pointless depending on how you wanna make it and how modding actually works. I'm not entirely sure you can add a research which does not...

ok so i might edit this post if i make a sketch or something, but what im currently imagining is a machine that consumer electricity and stone, grinds the stones together and outputs pointless dust. The machine would have the standard assembly machine walls, maybe made sturdier or with concrete cor...

- Nobody knows

TL;DR i'm literarily speaking to Nobody

also pointless machine that uses electricity and does nothing

well, you thought of the idea, i'd like you to chose what it looks like.

i don't know why i never thought of that.

- Extremely slow inserter? - Some useless pointless ore that spawn in very small, but frequent patches, and have to be removed by the ocd freaks? - Armour with negative resistances? - slow inserter is in progress - i feel like extra ore would have a point to it, so i might think about it - armor is...

so:
the random filter inserter won't be possible due to reasons
you can't have a recipe with nothing in the output
i've had to re-install the game about 12 times.

MODS ARE FUN

and i need some new ideas...

Tank is massively underpowered, when big biters appear it can't do anything while attacking alien bases becouse it gets destroyed nearly instantly. It's not endgame but rather early/midgame vehicle. tank upgrades? something along the lines of - tank speed? - tank cannon upgrades - new, better type ...

from what i have seen, i believe that the tank is unbalanced. here are some points: - fuel usage is too small - tank resistances should be slightly more - tank is too fast as a (technically)end-game vehicle, it seems a bit too powerful. other than that, i feel like the solid fuel production is somet...

first thought: i'm going to build a million bricks
after a day: i have no idea what i am doing
after a week: i think i made a mod. yep, it's a mod.

- a recipe for a chest with no inventory.
- a smart inserter, that changes its filter randomly.
- a paper factory, which makes long sleeves of paper from wood, and a point factory, which draws points on the paper (for lesser pointlessness)

I made that chest you wanted

i need ideas of pointless things to put in the game

it's always ok

well.. here's what it does, I guess... WE'RE BACK IN BUISNESS! - Infinite Player health - faster mining speed - slightly faster running speed you can outrun the natives! - magic flash-light v2 - a Gatling gun I made in about 2 hours - a Tank that uses the Gatling gun - ACTUAL ITEM NAMES - a flux cap...
