I think it is necessary to make all the water disappeared, regardless whether it's a lake or the sea

It would simply plant for the generation of water or pools

The problem is a technical one. Oceans in factorio are simply too large for my algorithm to detect. The algorithm is spread over several ticks so Factorio doesn't freeze. Another problem is oceans typically continue off into un-generated chunks, if they were to be consumed when you generate the other chunks you will see the rest of the ocean with a huge ugly border of land where the world ended previously.

Hi, love the concept but the thought of finite water scares me a little.
Does Homeworlds finite water interact with Landfill ( https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =91&t=4973 ) lakes?

I haven't tested it, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work with landfill.
You can play without finite water by choosing 'casual' difficulty at the game start, or if you want it off with other difficulties you can
type this into chat:

Code: Select all

/c remote.call("homeworld", "GetDifficultySettings").finite_water = false

Would it be possible to add trades (vanilla Factorio trading) to the portal, with what trades being available dependent on the homeworld tier?

Specifically, I would like to add an option to the Science Cost Tweaker mod that one of the intermediate products for blue and alien science packs cannot be made, but needs to be purchased from the homeworld. But first you have to get your homeworld up to a certain tier.

Essentially you need to send enough help back home that they can get their industry up to a certain level. Then they can provide things back to you (at a price).

I have an idea

and what to do if the game infinite, and
Help make for goods sent army to protect the base, the type of soldier

Hmmm. With the current version you could set up the needs so that you receive science packs as rewards. Not sure I want trading in standard homeworld, but I could add the feature to be extended, something like so long as all the needs are met for a tier you receive a constant supply of other items from them.

That could also work well.

v0.5.0 is released. It adds supplies, while not currently utilized by default, you can easily add it to your own scenarios.
Supplies are items the homeworld sends to you on a regular basis. They are sent so long as all the needs are met, above a certain threshold (typically 50%).

To add supplies to the needs prototype; you add a table to the tier with the key 'supplies':

Code: Select all

supplies = {
   {item = "science-pack-1", amount_per_min = {min = 1, max = 10}, satisfaction_range = {min = 0.5, max = 1}},
   {item = "science-pack-2", amount_per_min = {min = 1, max = 10}, satisfaction_range = {min = 0.5, max = 1}},
}

The item is the item supplied. amount_per_min is a range from min to max of how much you receive per minute. satisfaction_range is a range from min to max of what the need satisfaction should be to receive that supply.

For example if satisfaction_range.min = 0.5, then all needs must be satisfied >50% to receive that supply. The amount_per_min and satisfaction_range is correlated.

If you have any requests for how supplies could work, let me know.

Sounds perfectly suited to what I aim to do.

I'm currently doing a playthrough with ScienceCostTweaker and Homeworld, so I'll start playing with this.
(The basic idea is to just make one of the ingredients of the new intermediates for science-pack-3 and alien-science-pack be supplied only from the homeworld, at higher homeworld tiers.)

Hello.

I love the idea of the mod you are doing and the progress you are making. I am creating a mod that is going to have a big progression through it. I am hoping to enlist the help of many people within the Factorio community. Either one one thing or another. Such as ideas and suggestions, as well as people who can do images or buildings and so on such as the sawmill you made and farms. I will also need help in doing more advanced things in order to complete the mod I am doing.

I will be creating a forum post and update and improve it as I build the mod. I am posting here as I would love your assistance in the mod I am making as I have a really great idea for what I think would be a very fun mod to play.

EDIT: I just made a forum post here in WIP/Pre-Alpha Mods. It is labeled, Age of Factorio if you would like to read on it.

Sounds like a good idea. I'd be happy to help out here and there, although don't count on me I work on homeworld and my other mods in my spare time, which isn't in abundance.

v0.5.1 released.

This bug patch removes fish reproduction and damaging fishes as they were the cause of desync error in multi-player. Because of this I have increased the base yield of fisheries.

Fast inserters are now 2x faster but also have double energy consumption (this is to keep up with the high demand of items the portal requires).

Lol, well that was dumb.

I'll get a fix up quickly. But for a very quick fix, simply replace line 411 in prototypes/entities.lua with

Code: Select all

fast_inserter.energy_source.drain = "0.8kW"

-- Edit:
Fixed in 0.5.2

Not sure if this is an issue or not, but spotted while mucking around in the prototypes file "terraforming.lua"
The minable result for both seeder and terraformer is an electric furnace.

See suggested fix diff below.
