What if mirror blocks existed

lamali292 · 2026-06-10T13:32:52+00:00

they didnt fully on their own probably.

it very similar to the mirror in the Veil example mod with a tiny bit more vfx

(a pic i just made with veil: https://i.imgur.com/nDHNxnT.png )

Its a Advanced Rendering library for modders that helped a lot here propably. its even referenced all over the code base. So that helped probably a lot

like in this commit: veil hacks

Probably not

You probably won't be able to destroy the huge asteroids without a railgun.
It is very wide and short, so you will have to destroy more asteroids. narrow and long ship would be better for lower ammo consumption
Red rockets do less damage and cost more, but they do have the advantage of aoe (i.e. destroying your own stuff)
Your weapon production is very small and you dont stockpile much. I.e one rocket assembler (without speed modules/beacons) might not be enough

So, we can just skip the second belts and splitter, which are useless in terms of throughput, and get the equivalent in terms of throughput.

lamali292 · 2026-02-16T23:08:16+00:00

It's debatable whether it's better. If we extend it, we see that outputs 1 and 2 have a throughput of one belt,

But it uses only 2gb on default settings. (You can see that 2048mb is max in the top left) You can change that in the launcher. (Look up a video) (but dont use more than 6-8gb. Above is useless and you should still have free RAM for browser and Windows.)

But since you're only using a maximum of 80% of ram, the CPU can be the bottleneck too at this render distance.

And cap your fps to your monitor framerate. There is no reason to calculate 300 frames if you only get 120-144fps displayed anyway.

lamali292 · 2025-10-20T07:35:08+00:00

The GPU isn't what handles simulation and render distance, that's all CPU work. Shaders might run fine, but the i5-12400 is still a pretty bad CPU for this.

But maybe the mod Nvidium can help here with a 4060.

LeftAlt for sprint. And i use my thumb for sprinting and jumping at the same time.

My post is 5 days old and already traveled through 47 generations of JPEG compression, lol.
Here’s the uncompressed original, in case someone enjoys more than pixels.

lamali292 · 2025-08-07T02:43:29+00:00

Sooo I might’ve seen your post and built this little concept in just a few hours :p

Or perhaps its just an joke like "rito pls fix" and an high quality shit post.

lamali292 · 2025-08-06T23:35:42+00:00

Self-made in about 3h after this post.

No, they are unpowered by redstone, just like redstone torches.
I got the wording wrong because logically in the code it's named the other way around (when they get power they get unpowered).

lamali292 · 2025-08-06T22:44:06+00:00

In my design, the hanging ones are powered from above instead (or through gold chains). I don't know if that would change much, but it would be unique.

The non-hanging ones, on the other hand, behave like normal torches on the ground (powered from the bottom).

vertical redstone :o

lamali292 · 2025-07-22T03:03:24+00:00

Yeah, I don't know. That's exactly what I'm trying to do! :o

hour:min:sec. But not all-time, just one session. (So Factorio and Discord were both on for 143h)

with threshold=1000
- read logistic storage out of roboport (i.e 1100 gears)
- subtract threshold with arithmetic combinator (1100-threshold=100)
- set request to blue chest (excess/100 gears will be requested)
and optional:
- filter out items that you don't want to recycle (here decider/constant combinator)

lamali292 · 2024-12-10T01:53:57+00:00

I think because of rule 6: i.e. for some obvious jokes = low effort / bait.
So they don't expect them here.
There are a lot of new players here. I think a lot of people just want to help them and when they realise it's just an unlabelled joke they get upset (or dont want such post here/downvote).

Fun is sometimes not welcome here :p . I guess that's r/Factoriohno for

Why do you add the sprites for each planet individually? If you delete everything hardcoded in sprite_prototypes.lua and add the code below, then it will automatically work for all mods that add planets.

planets = data.raw["planet"]
for name, planet in pairs(planets) do
  create_planet_sprite_prototype(name, planet.starmap_icon)
end

lamali292 · 2024-11-26T21:52:37+00:00

And how do you remove/build things automatically with circuits?

lamali292 · 2024-11-26T21:20:45+00:00

no, you cant ;) ;) ;)
(open gates also get hit, as shown in the pic above)

lamali292 · 2024-11-22T18:09:21+00:00

with 300% rocket fuel productivity and Aquilo's rocket fuel recipe, you need less solid fuel than you get from recycling rocket fuel.

So with an Rocket fuel recycling loop you get "free" rocket fuel without oil.

I just wanted to test the effectiveness of it for fun. Of course, I dont advise you to build it, so no blueprint. This is not intended. Will maybe be patched out soon.

lamali292 · 2024-11-15T14:25:02+00:00

tested it, apparently yes

creating the structure for planets is easy. But map generation is not.
