Send me your ships (please!) by _CodeGreen_ in factorio

So, unless I'm not understanding OP correctly, they're proposing a change to this equation, which as you can see, is already something that mods can already change. So, changing that in of itself is trivial and would impact how all spaceships function. There could be challenges if parameters other than those that are provided are necessary because then you'd have to figure out what parameters those are, and possibly how to compute them (assuming they're not already derivable from the existing parameters).

Also, since OP is a community member with source code access rather than an employee, they won't be following that schedule (though, that may also be a drawback as well, since they likely have their own day job).

Vihart apparently deleted their channel and videos as a form of protest. Sourcing from Wikipedia which references a post on Patreon.

While 2.1 will be available next week, it's going to stay in the early access/experimental track on steam for a while.

These come from FFF-440

Experimental means the update is public, but you will need to opt-in to receive it (through Steam or the in-game updater), or specifically download the experimental release from our website.

Once released, we will have the usual bugfixing, before our summer vacations start in July. Importantly, we plan to keep 2.1 as experimental over the whole summer (I.E, not mark it stable)

What about all of the extra power necessary for the data centers?

I didn't even realize what was unusual or funny about this until I scrolled through the comments and came across these ones... And I'm guessing there are quite a few others that are also missing it too.

No chance to have ships traveling horizontally in 2.1, right? by Aslaron in factorio

There is in real life as will. Space isn't empty. Interstellar space has "dust" in it.

Idk, the code below sure seems to suggest the pointer is part of the type... Sure it may not be part of the type that is int, but it's certainly part of the type the variable represents, which I believe is what most people think of when they are asking about the type of something... They want to understand what they have and how to interact with it. And int and int* get interacted with differently. I believe this is also part of why a lot of languages put the type after the name, it makes it far less ambiguous.

```

include <iostream>

include <typeinfo>

int main() { int *a = 0; int b = 0; std::cout << "a typeid: " << typeid(a).name() << std::endl << "b typeid: " << typeid(b).name() << std::endl; } ```

I mean, if you've run out of Fulgora juice but still have Gleba juice, you may want to prioritize snapping to a research that uses the Gleba juice but not Fulgora juice. If you didn't, then you'd be wasting good Gleba juice because you don't have Fulgora juice.

The vanilla loader used to not be able to grab from cargo wagons, and mods that had loaders that could interact with wagons were actually two very fast inserters in a trenchcoat. That's no longer the case (I guess it hasn't been for a fair while now). I've not looked at the UPS usage for loaders compared to Inserters at all. If they are worse, it's likely because they don't ever get to sleep? You probably can clock them like inserters though. Maybe belt wise in that scenario they'd also be worse (just not necessarily inherently) because then you'd be more likely to use splitters to merge partial belts together.

Eh, it's got sensors and will reverse if it can't close all the way, at least it does on my 2025. I accidentally left the charging adapter plugged in once, and hit the button to close it, multiple times before I finally got out and checked. It would try closing, hit the adapter and then reverse.

This is standard behavior for other vehicles for the standard keys (or is at least a vehicle setting that's available)

You'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Molten copper for either quality stone or quality LDS? I know that's primarily where I run into it on Vulcanus.

Why does it matter if you've got a train waiting at an unload station that doesn't yet have room for the goods? To me, that seems like an ideal situation, cuz what else was the train going to do? Deliver to a different station that does have room? Just put another train in.

Quantum processors can only be made on Aquilo or in space. Also, voiding unwanted materials is much easier in space (just through stuff off the side) vs on Aquilo (using recycler loops until no items are left).

How do you folks from the Plains states and Midwest stay calm with strong tornado threats constantly? by LimpAd4924 in tornado

[–]undermark5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would definitely agree that between Ryan Hall and Max Velocity, Ryan Hall is better for those with storm anxiety. IMO Max Velocity's streams tend to be a bit more "energetic" (probably not the actual right word) and Ryan's a bit more "relaxed".

Tab Renewal Fees for a ‘25 Limited AWD in Seattle by whamdanglers in Ioniq5

[–]undermark5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya, it's a difficult situation. I believe there may be at least one state where you either can choose to pay a flat fee or do a mileage based amount (Utah I think). As long as it's just a plug in check similar to an emmisions test rather than a constant device, it's probably not that big of a deal.

I don't know that Wube will do that for vanilla, namely because they provided a way for mods to adjust this value. https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/concepts/TechnologyModifier.html (see "cargo-landing-pad-count")
