[2.0.10] force building belts over other belts adds extra unwanted underground belts

When trying to put a 4x4 belt balancer over the 4 lane bus, underground some extra underground belts are placed for some reason. This is how a balancer loosk like: Screenshot from 2024-10-25 18-50-39.png This is what it looks like without force building while hovering: Screenshot from 2024-10-25 18-...

Re: [0.17.0] Pick ghost item while crafting

See https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=116680 This issue is a huge PITA in the early stages of the game, where I often have not enough of some item, but it is placed somewhere in the vicinity, so I press Q, mine the placed entity and expect to place it, but I need to exit ghost curs...

[2.0.8] Mining a building with item count 0 in EQ does't update ghost cursor, disallows placing entity

I didn't find this report on the forum: In the early game when I have few items I sometimes pick an item with Q when I don't have the item in EQ. Mining nearby items with ghost cursor of that entity doesn't update the cursor, disallowing placing the building. Reproduction: 1. Place an electric pole ...

Re: [2.0.8] E to confirm in number input of signal inserts letter 'e' instead of confirming

yes, e accepts input for scientific notation, it was in some FFF iirc. Tehre are also SI suffixes like k, m and the rest I don't remember. I don't remember which FFF it was mentioned in, and the variables are news to me, would be nice to have some documented info about it. For anyone interested, Ent...

[2.0.8] E to confirm in number input of signal inserts letter 'e' instead of confirming

The "E" to confirm number input in a GUI (for example when trying to input a constant for a signal in inserter) doesn't work anymore when the number input is focused. It inputs the 'e' letter instead. I am not sure if that was the case before 2.0 (inputs restricted characters to digits onl...

Re: Friday Facts #432 - Aquilo

Very nice puzzle idea with the heat system! Does it mean heat system got a performance update? One nitpick: I think the thawing graphic is too abrupt. I get why you opted for handpainted effect, but you could add the shader to progressively alpha-dither it to make thawing look better imo. One QoL I ...

Re: Friday Facts #384 - Combinators 2.0

Does anyone know if there is a solution for "build order" problems? [...] Combinators shouldn't work unless they are powered, so I think it's up to you to cut power to a section of a network until it's built. You can use switches or just manually keep track of connections and only attach ...

Re: Friday Facts #428 - Reactor & Logistics circuit control

Nice changes. However I still find the UI of the combinators confusing. I can't remember what those checkboxes mean and they are not immediately obvious. Also color coding would help a lot. White text on bright green is barely visible. Those checkboxes suggest impossible states, I think you should h...

Re: Friday Facts #419 - Display Panel & Inserter pickup fixes

It would be nice to see a signal value next to a text, even more, give support to a rich text for displaying icons anywhere. When it comes to combinators, I know that the red/green channels are there since forever, but I still think it is a shame we don't have a way for a combinator to work on a sin...

I love the alien aesthetic, this is something I always felt was lacking on nauvis. Will the flora and fauna animate? Like a small particle for a "lizard like"creature here and there, yellow eyes on the tree hiding inside when the night comes or the tentacles wriggling here and there?

The solution to the concern about spam is to "combine" them. (...) I think before coming up with a solution the first thing to do should be checking if the problem even exists in the first place, and I'm inclined to believe there wouldn't be, in fact, any problem. From the wording of the ...

Re: Friday Facts #412 - Undo/Redo improvements & Car Latency driving

It's easy to undo if it's the most recent action, but when you're undoing a series of multiple recent actions (like 10+), having manual rotations omitted is more painful and likely to get you back to an inconsistent state that never existed. I couldn't agree more. I can already imagine how annoying...
