[kovarex] [1.1.9] Drag placing belts does not tunnel obstacle with one tile gap correctly
Drag placing is a really cool feature! But it needs some polishing. 1) Rotate-while-drag doesn't have any visual cues for current direction. 2) It builds unfunctional mess in some situations. I.e. place two pipes with one tile between them and try to build a belt over them. Belt correctly jumps unde...

Re: your thoughts on menu simulation
I love those dynamic wallpapers! But I see some problems with them: 1. As other people mention, scenes are too combat-oriented. Hope to see more scenes with peaceful machinery. 2. Switching between scenes is very abrupt. Light cross-fade or fade-out effect wouldn't harm. 3. Scenes that highlight wor...

Re: Biters dont hurt me
Small biters are pretty weak. If you wear heavy armor, their damage is almost zero.

Re: [0.18.42] Modded sliders don't step correctly when their range is equal to 1
can't be fixed The problem is that some mods may depend on old behaviour and expect "small number sliders work by default". I guess that best fix would be to distinguish between "valueStep is not set" (for mods that expect 0..1 sliders work with 0.05 step) and "valueStep is...

Re: [1.0.0] Can't initialize audio
Ubuntu 18.04 I had no problems on 18.04 and 20.04. Neither on older versions four years ago. Factorio happily connects to the PA server. And if I kill PA, it falls back to ALSA aka /dev/snd/*. Do you remember what you did with your sound system? I.e. changed permissions or settings, installed or re...

Re: [0.17.79] "Golem" Achievement conditon not working
Artillery does 500 physical + 500 explosion. So, probably, you survived physical damage and got achievement and then died from explosion.

Re: [0.18.42] Modded sliders don't step correctly when their range is equal to 1
Looks like it's something with rounding: maximum_value = 2.0000001 works fine, but maximum_value = 2 does not.
P.S. 2.00000001 is a good workaround until this issue would be fixed.

Re: Hex signal view, hex and mathematical input in constants
You need to think it all the time: 1, 2, 4, 8, then the next digit... You don't need to think about 1, 2, 4 and 8. Think in groups of 4 bits. You can look at the number 0xAB C DE67 and see that unloaders for wagons 19 and 18 are active and for 17 and 16 are not (C=1100). And wagons 15, 14 and 12 ar...

Re: Hex signal view, hex and mathematical input in constants
Why in hex? Not very useful. Because hex is very compact and people with programming background usually can convert between bin and hex on fly. So, I vote for both 0xFF and 0b11111111. P.S. Bit 17 of 0xAB C D E76 is 11 0 0 and bit 15 is 1 101. Now try to find them in the 1010 1011 1100 1101 1110 01...

I can't even see how to do it! Make a directory "my mod pack_0.0.1" in your factorio mods folder. Create an info.json file with content like this: { "name": "my mod pack", "version": "0.0.1", "factorio_version": "0.18", "tit...

Re: Can you add a favorite function on mods.factorio.com?
upload the current mod list to mods.factorio.com Well, you can make a meta-mod that contains dependencies on all mods you need. It was done for SeaBlock, there is even special tag for such mod packs. It's not as user friendly as a proper UI, though. But, maybe, we just need a tool (or a mod?) that ...

Re: [0.18.32] "Train ghosts must be built on rails" when it should work
Try to make a blueprint that contains a train and some entities, but not rails. It starts to behave very weird. All entities are moved as you move the cursor. But train stays snapped to the rail. Looks like trains ghosts are visually snapped to the rails, but in reality they don't. And you can place...

Re: [QoL][clipboard][BP] optionally include tiles when copying
You can hold shift while selecting area to copy. Although it shows blueprint UI, resulting blueprint would be available for Ctrl-V and would not clutter your inventory if you dismiss it by Q.
Edit: it also works for trains and station names.

Re: Disable artillery wagon auto-fire when train is in manual mode
Though with a designated artillery train, this behaviour might be desirable. You still can switch the train to the automatic mode and send it to the temporary station if you want automatic fire at arbitrary place. a toggle Yeah, toggle would be better. But it has it's own problems: This toggle shou...
