Changes

When using "Entity tooltip delay", the timer is also reset when moving the camera or the character. Fixes blinking entity tooltip when moving.



Finally, thank you!!
I had reported this issue five years ago and Kovarex supposedly had fixed it, but it hadn't actually been fixed in ...

Thank you and sorry!!

Thanks, but I still cannot get both features to work. No belts get deconstructed in both cases.

* Cursor simply "glides" backwards along the placed belts with no effect. Where I am dragging is always equal to "current cursor position".

* Creates a T-shaped belt that starts side-loading. The L ...

Changes

When dragging belts, going forward and back will remove the extra belts built.
When using smart belt building to make a turn, the player can decide to change the direction after the turn by dragging in the opposite direction.



Please explain how to use these new features, I do ...

simplest solution to this problem is adding some sort of global way to change the lamp colors.

Nah, I believe the simplest solution would be for Wube to simply change an integer value of 191 to 255, at the single location in the game's code where the lamp's default color origiantes from. It can't ...

There are a few more new mods to avoid the beige color:

In 2.0.33 a bug got fixed that resulted in newly placed lamps being a weird yellow instead of white.

• Remastered and remixed music.

I'm curious to know why the SA music, that was recorded in a professional modern sound studio just a couple years ago required remastering, like with classic music albums/records from decades ago?

Please just permanently reduce the volume of the rocket launch by 50%. It's just too annoying in Space Age.

Hello!

There is wasted space in the inserter UI when game is set to german language.

I speculate that the root cause is the same as with https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=127386 that was fixed by Klonan. Presumably the lengthy localized string "Greifarmkapazität begrenzen" adjacent to ...

CONGRATULATIONS Wube for the 50th patch since the launch of Space Age! Thank you so much for your excellent work!

I think traditional phpBB forums (and similar PHP bulletin board software) appeal to a more mature audience than the more modern but convoluted fast-past throw-away communication style on platforms such as Reddit.

It's a bit like IRC, which is used by older internet users, compared to Discord ...

There is a mod that does just that in case it helps : Changes the default light color of the small lamp to the original 255/255/255 value when placed.


Thanks, but I play vanilla. The pure white color has been the vanilla default for the past ~10 years. Good to notice I am not alone with this ...

Well, considering that no one noticed it in those several years, and everyone's used to the white...


Exactly. There was nothing *to* notice in several years because lamps have appeared in pure white since the beginning of factorio. Due to a recent a bugfix in 2.0.33, lamps now appear in beige ...

By "you" I did not mean you personally, but Wube in general. Please kindly forward this thread with my suggestion and arguments to the GFX department, so they can consider it.

The topic concerns the default color of newly placed lamps. Are you going to revert it to pure white, considering the provided reasoning?

raiguard wrote: Tue Apr 08, 2025 5:18 pm In any case, this is not a bug. If you wish the color to be reverted, feel free to make a suggestion in suggestions forum.

Thanks! I did.

TL;DR
Default color of lamp should be changed back to pure white (RGB 255/255/255).

What?
I suggest the default color of the lamp should be changed back to pure white. Apparently the color was originally intended to be beige, but a bug made lamps appear in pure white, and this was fixed ...

Hi! I am looking for a simple answer to this question:

I have an ongoing run of vanilla Space Age with the "Deathworld Marathon" unmodified preset. Will any achievement be disabled in that run with this update?

Thanks for the comments!

This lego object now serves "in memory of the stack filter inserter"...
I miss the snow white color a little, because the new SA stack inserter is more grayish-white.

This has actually been the default color since 1.1 - it did not change in 2.0.


I started a factory in 1.1 which has thousands of default white lamps. Loading this factory into 2.0 reveals that their color values are 255/255/255. Newly places lamps are beige with 255/255/191. The two colors look ...
