Great, nice work!

What happened to the sushi mod?

A15 industrialization replaced material for concrete floor and paved tiles from steel to concrete from the mod. There is no such thing in version for A16. Could you restore this pls?

That is from a separate mod called Concrete Floor Patch.

Hi. Any update for fixation of the errors found by Der Failer on previous page?

Hi Linq, could you tell me where I can find these words in the source files? They are part of the conversations, some kind of topics I think.

Looks Great! Take your time! It would be a whole new world when this mod gets released.

Hi Hatti, what does QualitySurgeronInt do? There is no texture for it.

Hi, where can I find these strings? I was trying to do a translation, but I couldn't find them in defs, are they hardcoded in dll?

yes it's hardcoded , i have a french translation in progress and i have already ask

edit : some text are not dynamic, you need wait for see the translation, some text already written before his translation is not translated after update the translation.

Thanks, I found them:D

REALLY NICE! They are very comfortable to learn to. Thank you for making this mod.

This looks awesome! Cannot wait to try it out

There is a reason why manual allocate/deallocate, if done right, gives you better performance, and why you'd rather use pointers than have multiple copies of 'same' data. And that's also when it gets tricky because you have to do manually in code what's already automated away for about a decade.

Well, the main reason why manual memory management can get you better performance is having the absolute control about where in memory you create your objects (so you can abuse the hardware prefetching mechanisms). Of course, the control alone doesn't do anything, to really gain measurable improvements you need to layout your data structures in a cache-friendly way to help the prefetcher do its thing (arrays/object pools can really help with that).
Contrarily, having to jump through main memory every time you access a new object (that isn't in an array or similar contiguous memory region) basically sets you up for cache misses every time you access that object!

Managed C#/C++ doesn't have 'real' pointers. You have managed objects, everything goes through garbage collection [...]

But every reference to a managed object is basically a "fancy" pointer under the hood (even though you can't really manipulate it). So just accessing an object requires you to dereference a pointer (which can point anywhere the GC/runtime thinks appropriate).

Many CS students I speak nowadays don't even know what a pointer is, let alone the benefits and possible dangers of using them, until they get in their third year. And only if they pick specific advanced subjects like Algorithms or Networking and Operating systems (with mandatory lessons in 'classic' C).

Interestingly, I am a CS student, and those subjects you mentioned were mandatory in 2. to 4. semester at my university in Germany (minus lessons in C, the only language we were taught in any way was Java - so people had to figure out any other language used on their own...). Yes, most of my fellow students aren't always comfortable using pointers, but they really should know their dangers!

I guess you are speaking from an American point of view?

No, we also learn pointer in US. No idea where that came from.

Thanks guys, I guess I was indeed thinking about conifer forest. I've never been to Russia or Canada so maybe my imagination was inaccurate. Glad to learn some new knowledge:)

what grouping is the OP talking about anyway? 

If boreal forest is considered a "cold" climate, then rainforest is a "hot" one.

The only grouping is going on in your head i think.  I consider all 3 of the forest biomes to be "temperate" or moderate...not really hot or cold.

If you look into the core Biomedefs, there are three files: arid, cold, and moderate. And tropical is inside the moderate one.
