It seems like only few people know about this but if you hover over an entity, technology or item you can press ctrl-shift-F and a window with the prototype properties will open. Wow! Count me among those as un-enlightened.... until now. It even has wiki links so we can look up the meanings. To who...

However this might be addressed, I sincerely request that the same behaviour is also consistently applied across the whole UI. It is nice that filters are not immediately applied while changing values, and we need to apply/accept the new value before leaving. This behaviour is now universal. Escape ...

There are two pumps. One is in the Logistics category, and is named Electric Pump. This can only be built on land. Electric Pump.PNG The other is in the Production category, and is named Offshore Pump. This can only be built on the water shoreline. Offshore Pump.PNG This is a common mistake new play...

This can be done with the following method: Open debug settings F4 by default Enable "Show-Debug-Info-In-Tooltips" Close Debug Settings Hover pointer over any building or entity to reveal the internal name (and much more) in the right hand panel Internal Name.PNG I hope this helps?

Would a generic migration script work to set any given mod back to its defaults?

Brilliant suggestion. There are quite a number of mods on the portal that could benefit from this. Experimental status at least gives players browsing the mod portal a heads up that the mod is WIP. Some players might like the challenge in testing, others will know to avoid. Mod author's sanity would...

Very good and funny.

I meant to look at this when you first posted, but got distracted and never actually go around to opening the tab. I'm glad this just appeared again in active topics.

I have spent far more time trying to find a workaround for this than I'd like to admit. Set filter and set variable stack size for EACH looks viable at first, but we are denied the necessary control signal for what the inserter is inserting next. We can only check what is in hand, and that is alread...

My first game was an undescribeable mess. my green circuit production: 10 assemblies feed by one belt of wires. :) And then the trains came out, barely playable, and I built a train which goes about 100 tiles. But I played it! Yeah. I usually do not read guides as it is more enjoyable to figure thi...

That power graph snapshot of 5 seconds shows that you are producing as much electricity as is being consumed. There does not appear to be enough surplus to charge the accumulators. As already suggested, a longer snapshot - 10 minutes and even 10 hours will give a better understanding of how well you...

Even the best laid plans will fall by the wayside. Factorio is all about problem solving. It's true that planning is part of that, but think of those plans as an overview, and not something to try and strictly follow. As your factory grows, you may set out to build one particular part of it, but the...

Nope, this situation has nothing to do with foolproofness. It just extremely stupid tutorial. Tutorial is meant for new players - and it is absolutely stupid: 1) changes gameplay - it is something, that tutorials shouldn't do at all. 2) and places ghost rails without telling you, that this is ghost...

It does seem to be an oversight, and I also wouldn't go so far to say it's extremely poor. Tutorials are difficult to create for every eventual outcome without being extremely restrictive or overbearing. Test cases for tutorials are probably even harder, and consist of many "what ifs" for ...

Or spawn a bunch of active=false biters already inside the range. (/sudo help spawn) Interesting. I was under the impression that active=false stopped all attributes on an entity, and by extension, their force designation. Also, If the turrets do react to moving entities, as posited by Pi-C, then i...

(Just an idea: The target entities are based on simple-entity-with-force, so once they've been placed, they won't move. Could it be that turrets react when they notice that an entity or unit is moving into their attack distance?) You could try changing the force of the turrets to enemy, and use the...

You do seem to be jumping ahead. The objectives give clear instructions to place the rail over the ghost rails. Using shift will create new ghost rails, and the tutorial is deleting them for you (premature use). This is not normal gameplay behaviour.

Maybe to you it is "logical", maybe to me it is not. In either case it is bad interface design. "In some ways" is not an assertion, but an observation and offers an alternative view (devil's advocate). For the record, I do agree with you, perhaps I veiled it too much? :D. Anyway...

And still every day this inconsistency frustrates me. I've gotten used to it now, and I think I'd be just as frustrated by it changing after all this time. In some ways the placement is logical "LAST POST" - "by eradicator link " does scan properly. I do appreciate your observat...

I've been doing some testing, and have found that inputs do not leak as I first thought. The new user interface for pipes is a little misleading and shows "all" fluids for any given fluid segment. This naturally includes machine inputs that are of the same fluid designation, tanks, and any...
