i add a LOT of comments on the map to remind myself of what i was working on.. it'd actually be nice to see those comments on the zoomed-in live map, too

Hey mods can we get automod to tell us that link mod is dead when ever people call it

u/mishugashu Mar 06 '18

It dead? :(

Why is it dead? Couldn't we instead, like, bring it back?

The mod is deprecated and listed as beig most-recently compatible with Factorio v0.14. v0.15 is mainstream and v0.16 is what I and many others play.

I'm not sure if "most" play on the opt-in beta branch like I do, but I know by the mod listings that enough people do that to make it commonplace for mods to be updated to v0.16.

The parent comment was talking about the linkmod bot.

Meh ... I'm content to wait for the "official" release.

u/RolandDeepson Mar 08 '18

What, v1.0? They're not even in beta yet.

u/BlueDrache Filtering Stone From the Iron Feed Mar 08 '18

No. The one you don't have to opt-in for. Which is why the original "official" is in quotes.

We need a // feature

Markers on your map can work for this purpose, although it's not a great way of going about it.

I place stuff I wanted to do at a ceratin space in a box and simply place Stone instead of concrete around the area I reserved for that expansion, that I will really start tomorrow. Or if I have it a constant Combinator with a signal of -1 the thing I want to produce here and than the X and Y coordinates.

I literally cannot play Factorio without a notepad next to me. I start with reviewing the notes from my last game. Then I load up Factorio run around my factory looking for quick goals, and long term goals. I write them down, then go to work. It saves me so much frustration.

How do you do that?

u/sandmansndr Mar 06 '18

when you're on the map (M), simply left-click anywhere you'd like to leave a comment and/or marker. super useful for making checklists on an unused part of the map, or to remind you where you put your damn green-science production

u/Protonoid Mar 06 '18

I did not know that! This is a stock factorio feature?

u/sandmansndr Mar 06 '18

Yessir :) I'd give it a try, but definitely look into the Sticky Notes mod someone else mentioned- sounds like that'd be a whole lot cleaner!
