Thanks for the report, I think this is not a bug. If you copy an entity, it behaves as if you made a blueprint of the entity and blueprints can't be rotated in 8 directions.


What you've described is the explaination for why it's a bug. Railgun turrets are intended to be rotated in 8 directions ...

There are a couple different ways of going about this where the situation mentioned would be technically feasible... but, while Wube seems pretty laid back about it, I don't want to publicly encourage multiple people to be simultaneously playing using the same copy of the game.


Oh definitely ...

You can Family Share Factorio as well as Space Age, however , a single Steam license for the game can only be played by one player simultaneously.


Hmmm, are you certain about that? It's been several years (and we were using 1.x at the time), but we used to play on this same friend's multi ...

I have connected my steam account to my factorio account.

I have Family-Shared Factorio (base) with my wife (she's in my Steam-Family).

I would like to Family-Share Space Age as well. Our intent is to join a friend's multiplayer server together (each on our own computer).

Is this possible?

If so ...

I tried a "speed this tick" summnation, but it is hampered by the fact that a speed of, say, 125.47 is reported truncated, as 125, which leads to the odometer running slow.

Worse, my "clever fix" of using speed*100 (to get the fractions) doesn't work. In the above example, 125.47 * 100 = 12500 ...

Can't you integrate the speed?


Sadly, no. Speed is truncated, so the odometer runs slow. That is, a speed of, say, 125.47m/s is reported as "125". If that's your steady speed, your Odo slowly loses distance over time.

Worse, it's truncated BEFORE reporting! In the above example, V [125.47 ...

I'd like to use circuitry to read the distance along the current space-platform path. I'm talking about the value displayed in the UI between the two planet<etc> icons, and "read" the same way I can read Speed (S) and Damage taken (D).

THIS post asks how to do it and THIS one is about how it was ...

Ah yes, I misread the OP.

New request: that value (distance travelled) available to game-UI circuitry.

Similar reasons as OP (and more!), but for us non-scripting ("vanilla" ) players.

Hmmm, not seeing distance-travelled in 2.0.41. Where should I look instead?

2 of them -- the other diagonal: upper-left/lower-right -- get a lesser, fluctuating bonus.


This sounds like you have excess power production capability on your reactor compared to your consumption , as such some of the cores must be "overflowing" with plasma, "output full" and stop working ...

Interrupts' conditions are checked when a platform is about to leave a station.

OooOOOooo!!! Well, that's not really an "interrupt" in the traditional [circuit/programming] sense...

Ok. I can reset my expectations, but now I have a feature request: REAL interrupts, with the meaning of "interrupt ...

I have a "normal" 2x2 array of Fusion Reactors.

2 of them get the expected +200% bonus -- the diagonal upper-right/lower-left ones.

2 of them -- the other diagonal: upper-left/lower-right -- get a lesser, fluctuating bonus.

All 4 are operating and have fluid.

Pix attached.

On my outer-system platform, Fortescue, the "you've got enough Promethium chunks; go home" platform doesn't fire.

Here is a pic of the interrupt:

Here is the full schedule (NOTE: I launch to Edge-Of-Solar-System manually but, again, the interrupt doesn't fire).

Aha!

Ok, well... In Space Age, I'm rarely on the planet I want to adjust; I do almost everything remotely. In fact, if I don't drop out of map mode and zoom in, I often can't even remember what planet my "Steve" is on! (I think he's sitting around Vulcanus right now, as we recently got our first ...

Sorry if I'm being dense...

( NEW BUG : this UI is difficult to discover!)

...but I'm not getting the steips I need to bring up the UI in the picture. It looks like a wonderful tool, but I don't get how to get at it. Again my apologies if I'm just missing the obvious, but can you give me a step-by ...

For this case (searching for the last remaining instances of something) I use Upgrade planner .

Set up the searched modules/entities of desired and/or conditional quality.

Ok, so I went back to double-check this -- in my upgrade planner (2.0.32), I can't find any settings. It's just ...

A nice workaround, thanks.

I still think my suggestion is a good Quality Of Life improvement; the folks at Wube often seem interested in such things.

Simple use case: I'd like the ability to see where I still have Efficiency Module 2-s -- of a specific quality! -- so I can replace/upgrade them.

There are, literally, dozens of similar examples: Where else do I have Speed Module 1s? Where else do I have Common Quality Module 3s? Etc.

I'd love the ...

It might not help in your specific situation, but running headless doesn't hang:

I can see how perhaps this is low priority, but "not a bug" seems a mischaracterization.

If there's a stack size, it is reasonable to expect to make stacks of them.
If there is a rocket capacity, it is reasonable to expect to put them into rockets.

Regardless of the reason offered, this item is an ...
