This may be intended behavior, but I'd like to call that intention back into question. The pistol and the sub-machine gun both train the user to think of the space bar as a gun with a safety. If there are no enemies around, it won't do anything harmful, whereas the c key is "no really, just fi...

Yes, indeed, I am 60h + in a game with RSO and Marathon, and I must say that this is brilliant. 1 Suggestion though - since vanilla medium and big electric poles use plates instead of wires most of the time they are easier and faster to craft then the small ones. I think it deserves some sort of a ...

I think these small patches are quite interesting to mine. Most of the time you end up lazing rails to a bigger deposit one waz or another, and encounter these small ones. I usually have an 1-wagon-small-patch-collector-train, which is driving slowly between the patches, collecting the resources fro...

Hi Guys, I want to start a new game with Marathon and RSO, and I don't want to waste several hours before I would realize that the mod is not active at all. So I downloaded 0.5.3 for the 0.12.3 version of the game, and in the mods menu I can see the Marathon mod there, I enabled it, but when I star...

Or you can like buy a 3$ mouse with a scrollwheel.

I always wanted to ask, can you actually generate deposits bigger than a chunk?

What the hell would be the application of a HARDWARE based PID-controller in FACTORIO?! :shock: the same as in a real factory, naturally - to dynamically and automatically balance production to a changing rate of consumption. Though I suspect, limits of working with integers only aside, things tend...

Can confirm the same in 0.12.3, using RSO and Marathon. Sometimes shiftclicking does not mark trees for deconstruction. Attached a savefile where a turret from a blueprint does not force a tree for deconstruction.

I still dont agree with you, ssilk. Biters settle closest at >3 chunks away from your buildings. That means an outpost every 7th chunk. Lets sax we male state of the art outposts with a roboport, repair packs and spare parts and a double-layered wall. We provide electricity centralized from the main...

There is a change to balance ore amounts. This is exactly what I'm referring to. Forcing total resources regardless of patch size does weird things to generation. For example, I saw someone playing a couple days ago that had >100k coal in a one miner sized patch. In the other circumstance, you coul...

That would be interesting. Just assemble units which use the same pathfinding biters do to reverse-attack them.

Yes, certainlz. It is now as good as it gets

I think that for such a complex topic you did an absolutely great job. No real space for improvement, maybe add some bells and whistles like a short summary to each combinator type. Or mazbe bigger captions for a more divided text.

The guide is impressive, very nice job!

Although I think you should work better with text structure to make it easier to swallow. Walls of text are always hard to grasp.

Ahh, that explains it. I never got it from the description of the mod, if your algorithms base on the settings provided by the map generator, or are constants in your config. I am so far satisfied with the generation, was just wondering.

Thank you for your help.

I disagree. I would start by cleaning out the spawners while laying the rail. After I have secured the area and layed the rail, I would get in into my construction train filled to the brim with turrets, solar panels, etc, drive manually to the place of the supposed outpost, place a station, lay a bl...

So, in case I would want the future resource generation be more/or less rich I would edit the save-specific map gen settings? Do I understand it right?

I thought of making something as a "maginot line" around my base. Making defense outpost in circles, providing each one with a roboport and some construction bots, and a very slow train moving in circles supplying them with the needed repair packs and maybe spare turrets/walls in case some...
