Roflex posted:The first time you "get" trains, especially with routing and signaling, is so immensely satisfying. My current base has a single depot for coal, iron, copper, oil (using the oil tanker mod), and stone, with a single line in/out and no deadlocks (although the occasional queue happens). Hooking up a new deposit is as simple as plopping a station blueprint, dropping an intersection on my main line, and connecting the two with rails/power. The personal roboport makes this incredibly easy, as well. What a wonderful post/avatar combination.

I thought I "got" trains once but it turned out to be prodromal schizophrenia. Stay safe, traingoons.

Oh god, they're going to re-write the entire strings library to cut down on compile times. https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-115

Did it once to try it out but it's really not worth the trouble except as a train station simulator mini-game in itself.

It's not bad for a game that side, but is that a full compile or incremental? If it's incremental, that's abysmal and I can understand wanting to speed it up.

Anything over about 30 seconds compile time is a productivity killer in my experience. One of the projects I worked on for a couple of years had a 10-15 minute average compile time. 30 minutes from a fresh checkout. You got used to it, and lots of us started running two sandboxes so we could work on a second problem while the first was compiling. Even so, there's a real temptation to tab out to a news article or something while waiting for the compiler. Sure, 3 minutes isn't bad, but its still long enough to make it easy to get up and wander off or otherwise take a break every time you need to compile. Re-writting a std library is pretty much never a good idea, but I can certainly understand the desire to reduce long build times at any cost.

The worst thing is that they added sound effects. Those machines don't really make Portal sounds.

To annoy the line workers by forcing them to hear CLUNK CLUNK on a machine that, at most, makes a soft clik noise? It'd make much more sense to add it in post, at the same time they added the music. Plus, I didn't even see any killer robots fighting space aliens so 3/10.

Do you wait to fight aliens until they are inside your walls, or do you use walls to keep them out? Any news on when next update is coming?

There are mods that add basically infinite null research items that will consume probably millions of research packs if you get through the entire "tree"

This was my contribution (an edit of someone else's mod): http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=87&t=7702&start=20 Basically it just adds 99 levels of pointless tech (the version I edited only had one level), of various science pack flavors. The reward is gazing at your big numbers.

I haven't tried it out, but I noticed this mod while combing through the forums the other day. Shouldn't be hard to edit the files to apply infinite levels to other upgrade types if you feel like it.

I do keep wondering when we're going to get barges, motoboats, as well as flying and aquatic enemies, so we can finally do some neat island-hoping based scenarios.

So other than the spiderbot, I'm trying out the train base mod they mentioned. The limitations on space are strange, but fun to work with. And yes, you can build a train in your train.
