I suggest posting a screenshot of your game with the F5 info active. The most significant bit is often the entity update. If that is above 16.6ms then your computer can't run your base at 60 updates/second. (1000ms/60 = 16.66ms per tick).

I think which is better depends a lot on what your objectives for the map are, and how long you intend to play on this map. If you just want to launch a rocket asap, then I'd stick with mostly steel (or even stone) furnaces. (I would also stick to coal based electric power generation). If I was goin...

It is known behaviour. Typically referred to as belt braiding.

Please file a bug, with a link to the desync report.
(Alternatively, a mod could just move the thread).

Actually I don't think they should make bots "smarter". Factorio is a game where you assemble a factorio out of a set of simple pieces. The core gameplay is using the provided pieces to build a factory. None of the pieces are smart. It is up to the player to design and build an efficient f...

Hmm.
I was hoping with the GUI re-write coming for 0.16, and items in our toolbar/hands also being being basically just a reference into our inventory, this would effectively become much less of an issue.

He's playing on OS X. I'm don't sure how you adjust those settings on a Mac (they don't have a typical PC bios).

From a physics/maths perspective, if braking is a constant deceleration, then doubling the trains speed means they take twice as long to stop, and need 4 times as much space. For constant deceleration, stopping distance is proportional to speed squared, so a 10% increase in speed is a 21% increase i...

Yeah. My guess is that if you turn save replay on during game creation, and then later try to load that saved game the code potentially does does a version check between the game version and the version the specified in the savegame/replay file. If the two don't match then you probably get an error ...

I don't play with replays, but I expect they will be extremely sensitive to factorio version changes. So the change from 0.15.30 to 0.15.31 could well have made the replay incompatible with the new version. Also be very careful when turning power off to a computer. If the hard disk is still writing ...

Are you using the .zip version ?
Because if you are, then you will get a clean copy of the config settings each time you extract the zip.

Placing and mining astone furnaces works for me. Are you sure that they haven't ended up on you quickbar, without you noticing ?

You have the game set to 'automatically enable mods'. As I mentioned in the initial bug report I have that setting disabled, because I don't want always want to enable all the mods I download. Hence the game doesn't need to restart automatically. But this bug means I need to restart the game manuall...

I started a new game today. Downloaded the zip version of 0.15.31. Disabled 'activate new mods' automatically. Installed some mods, pressed back from the install mod page, expecting to be able to activate the mods I wanted. No mods were listed. Opened the install mods page again, and checked that it...

@Reika I don't see what you are describing as an issue. Indeed it would break immersion if things like recipe icons weren't affected by darkness. I'm wondering if the real issue is that your mouse pointer is black, and you can't see the mouse during darkness ? My mouse pointer is white, with a drop ...

Ah ok. I hadn't considered that, probably because I never want to connect 2 pipes with different fluid anyway. I think I've done that a total of three times, and in all three cases ended up having to remove all sections of pipe that had the wrong fluid. Couldn't you just detect the error, not merge ...

@aaargha Did you do anything to cause the train to change its path for that roundabout deadlock example? Or did the train decide to path a 270 degree right turn rather a 90 degree left turn without something happening to cause it to repath? (If the later would you mind uploading the save for the rou...

The system I want to implement requires first that pipes be buildable without automatically connecting to every adjacent pipe. Once we think of some nice way to make that work it's quite simple to do the rest: @Rseding91 I've never understood why you need pipes to not automatically connect to every...

I also think the pumping speed is too high. Also the entire rail tanker and barreled oil should be rebalanced. Also why on earth is a rail tanker heavier than a rail car full of steel, or a rail car full of barrels of oil. Especially if the rail car full of barrelled oil actually holds more oil than...

I pretty sure that the devs have said the limit is one completed recipe per tick. (There are 60 ticks/second at normal speed).
