So my recipes and resources with multiple outputs aren't working, still. According to the #Factorio_Modding IRC, it's impossible for resources to create multiple resources. I can apparently make an "unsorted" resource which can then be crafted into multiple resources, but not the way I had it. The new recipe should work, but apparently recipes that were set up to work in a furnace also can't be multiple outputs - which means I need an intermediate resource for that as well.
Once I get that done, hopefully it will stop throwing up errors. Bleh.

@Sean: You can have inputs on either side of the belt, meaning you COULD have twice as much input if you wanted. I'm sure you don't want to deal with that headache, though.

Hmm. With that know-how you're developing, though, I bet you can't make a 1-tile T-Splitter.

The factory sprite is a little broken there.

In the first image you can see the conveyor overlapping the top of the topmost factory.

In the second image you can see on the rightmost factory that the far sides of the doorways are overlapping the conveyor belts on either side of the building. It's less noticeable on the right side because of the shadow.

First one looks intentional.
Second one needs fixing.

[Parsely]

First one looks intentional.

Oh- Ah yep. You're right.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Yeah, first is intentional. Second is because Factorio's unique brand of orthographic projection is screwier than Bugs Bunny.

I'm having to remake the side-sprites for all factories to make the entry/exitways as wide as the belts going into/out of them. But I got all the code for multi-inputs working.


And sure, I could make a T-splitter. It would be a 1x3 building though (center input, side outputs), and would fairly definitely be a programmatically expensive thingamadumb unless I figure out how to make inserters put stuff on a particular side of a belt when facing its working direction. This is mostly because I don't know how to have one tile that would connect to outgoing conveyor belts in multiple directions.

Also. I finally purchased Factorio. Go me. ._.

This isn't exactly what you want but there is a mod for smart splitters. https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4822

Obvious placeholder graphics are placeholder.

I got it working! With IRC #Factorio's help, of course.

Now to start on the REAL hard part: making something functional using these ingredients.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Judging by the shapes and color of those crystals, the next step's going to be making a variant of the tank which will automatically shuttle between waypoints, collecting the crystals and depositing them into your refinery.

...

Don't tell me.
Someone already did that.
Holy crap, people.

[flabort]

No... but thats cool, and my outline does inlude something which can autonomously gather minerals, for the late-mid game progression, so I may borrow some of that code when I get to that stage.

No, the next step is mana production.

Oh my god.

Lol at the red alert sprites.

Uploading this image was a pain; I don't think I'll use tinypic again.

Someone else made the art for me for the condenser; KubeRoot on the #Factorio IRC

Click the image to get a .zip of my progress so far.

[Parsely]

Use imgur. I've only very very rarely had problems uploading there.

imgur seconded.

The RA Harvesters..that looks hilarious. Gotta love'em mods.
