  • As you can probably guess, the new rail curves will be incompatible with the old ones. Savegames from 1.1 can be opened and trains will still run on previously built rails just like normal, but you won't be able to construct the old rails at all anymore. In some future Factorio update when we decide to drop 1.1 savegame compatibility (Let's say 2.1), we will eventually get rid of the old rail shapes completely.

    Ah, I misinterpreted that, it seems you're right. Still, it looks like there will come a point where 1.1.x maps will no longer be supported, which is again understandable.

  • I haven't even read the article yet and I'm at full sail.

    Edit after reading:

    The new rails look gorgeous, and I need those new S-bends immediately. And those smooth curves!

    And this:

    We have increased the big electric pole range to 32 to go along with this.

    is how you know a game dev is in touch with their audience.

    Although this confirms my suspicions from last week that 1.1.x maps will be incompatible with the 2.x update, which is a shame but completely understandable. That just means that I have to hurry up and launch my first rocket before that happens! (I swear I'm making actual progress and not just staring blankly at my machines at work)

  • OP might maybe have had a shred of plausible deniability up until now as being someone edgy or wacky or whatever, or at best someone with a very active imagination. But that reply there pretty solidly confirms OP is just a downvote farmer.

    Downvote and move on, no further point wasting any more of your brainpower on them.

  • Former college TA for physics here, I can tell you that not every teacher/professor does this by choice. My professor was obligated to use the textbook which included an access key for a homework site. He had to use this homework site (which already had the questions on it, he didn't make them), which meant students had to buy the hardcopy textbooks to gain access to the homework portal to do and submit the homework. He knew it was bullshit, I knew it was bullshit, the students all knew it was bullshit, but his hands were tied. He had no choice, and I could see the pain in his eyes whenever anyone asked why he assigned homework using the online service rather than good old fashioned paper and pencil.

    Well, who forces him to use this system? Follow the money, you'll probably figure it out. This was at a very large university in the US, but I can assure you this happens at all colleges, big and small.

  • Terraria is like the anti-modern game. They absolutely refuse to evilly monetize their game at all. The playerbase is almost on their knees, begging them to move on from Terraria and make something else (not because Terraria is bad, but they've been at it for over a decade!) and they continue to churn out updates. The fanbase voted for a set of features to appear in Terraria 2, which they then turned around and scrapped, and added it as an update to Terraria. And all their updates are always free. And can't forget about their amazing mod support.

    And redigit is just, like, the man.

  • American cheese instead of an actual cheese? Disgusting.

    Well, I suppose I can't really get on my high horse, people are allowed to like what they like.

    Cheese dreams are made of these. Who am I to disagree?

    (I tried to hard to work "diss a brie" in there somewhere)

  • They remove my glass cannon build, and we take to the steets.

    But I don't think they'd change any of the core mechanics. Maybe add some side ones, like a boss rush mode, like what they added to the Mario RPG remake.

    My 1-in-a-million prediction? Fast travel mechanic. Mario folds himself up into an envelope and mails himself to a town he's already gotten a crystal star from. (Yes, I know we already have the underground pipes, just let me believe.)

  • I've always wondered, is this psychological or physiological? Or both? Like, how does the body "differentiate" the two? Clearly there is a difference, but is it the brain actually seeing another person and firing different responses, or is there a difference in the act itself that lets the body know what's really going on? Or perhaps a little of both?
