Why wouldn't buildings also be mirrored visually? Notably the refinery. Is it because of something like the directionality of shadows?

My best effort: Spawning entities into the world: You build an entity Drones build an entity Ghosts: You plan a ghost entity You plan a blueprint You snap a new blueprint You cancel a planned entity (this one was missing) Collecting entities and items: You grab an entity Drones grab an entity You gr...

After starting factorio (0.16.36) for the first time since 0.15, I joined a multiplayer game and went into settings and changed the game (fullscreen) to render on my second monitor. After exiting, the game is failing to start up. I see the loading screen up to 'cropping sprites' and then the screen ...

As others mentioned, it's very easy to set steam to a specific version. Your solution is more permanent, but steam makes it very easy to wait until something specific is fixed.

Haha yep. It's actually an even gap between two inserters that is a problem. I recently saw someone else using a car for this same reason. It's 2x2 or close to it I think.

You can schedule a task in windows to shut down your pc at 2:00am.

I and a friend use a train-based "warehouse" with crazy storage space and high throughput (vanilla). Maybe this will interest you. See this topic here. It will hold a few million of whatever you put into it.

Hey everyone, I see many people trying to figure out how to do efficient storage and buffering. I want to showcase a solution I and my friend came up with: http://i.imgur.com/21kPC9m.jpg See it in action: https://gfycat.com/UnawareNiceFluke To get high throughput, we had to solve a little problem. T...

"Unstable" means not just "might crash" but also "subject to changes". 0.15 is unstable in the latter sense.

Given the sentiment of some of the posters here, I feel the need to say I fricking love this game and how smooth the experience is. Despite it being a very minor annoyance (out of exceptionally few anyway), I decided to post this topic because I find it interesting. I don't mind that it's low on the...

It would not affect performance if only personal bots would seek the nearest target (and also have priority). Yes it would. A thing to work on finds a robot not the other way around. I see. That does make it trickier. Still though, is changing the behavior of personal robots something you are inter...

I understand that, but in this case it's trading cpu time for *my* time, so it's worth it to me!

TL;DR (De)construct dense areas faster by having personal robots do the closest thing first, since you can then move around and keep flight distances short. What ? Construction bots from your personal roboports have a clumsy order in which they select construction tasks. This causes long flight tim...
