My friend and I decided to do a PVP space race challenge.

Are there rules, like you cannot attack each other until a certain time limit or tech threshold?? I guess if the win is determined by a tech goal, that keeps things on track...?

There are many configuration options in the PvP scenario: screenshot

So you can create a match to suit the people who are going to play it.

You can also set it up so you don't even fight each other, just working cooperatively from separate factories with independent research.

Removing RTL language translations Wheybags

I'm sorry to say that we have removed the RTL language translations (Hebrew and Arabic) in 0.17.20.

Until this point we've had a half implementation of RTL languages, where the text is simply flipped when we download it from Crowdin. This 'works' for a decent proportion of things, but not nearly 100%. In order to attain the level of polish we want for the 1.0 release, we would need to spend a lot of time implementing proper support for RTL layouts. This just doesn't make sense for us given our current goals, and the proportion of our player base which uses these languages (less than 0.1%). We decided that instead of completely gutting the translations, we could leave them in for those who enjoy them, but not to offer them in the GUI as defaults.

The languages will remain up on Crowdin, and the locale files will still be present in game, but there will be no option in the in-game language options dialog to cho...

Controlling the player through a mod

Comment

The game doesn't have any built in API for building and moving, You will have to build it from constituent methods.

For instance building is just creating an entity and removing an item.

Moving is done by seting the walking state each tick: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaControl.html#LuaControl.walking_state

Etc.

Is that splitter change already out or still to come (I don't remember reading it in relnotes)?

Its out already

The only real change for players is that Splitters need 20% more items for the belt to be fully backed up which is kind of insignificant.

I just want to make sure I understood that correctly. In order to have 30 items/s on a belt I'll need a production of 36 items/s?

No, just when backing up, the splitters will buffer a few extra items: https://gfycat.com/DizzyBossyGnatcatcher
