Re: Version 2.0.11

where would the files for the "base mod" be located? even with a fresh install of the 2.0.12 update, my game tried to load the 2.0.10 base mod and therefore, refuses to start If that's true, then I don't think you actually had a fresh install. Keep in mind, reinstalling a game on Steam do...

Re: [2.0.8] Missleading error on recipe proto about missing icon when recipe has normal/expensive defined.

1/ You are showing error for "stacked-steel-plate" but data for "stacked-copper-cable" 2/ `icon` is required when `icons` are not given. Not a bug. Yeah, that was me just copying one of the recipes in the file. The exact name didn't matter since the issue was on the misleading e...

[2.0.8] Missleading error on recipe proto about missing icon when recipe has normal/expensive defined.

This is debatable as to it being a bug or not, but it's a very misleading error to me and had me scratching my head for a few minutes about it. The error in question: Error ModManager.cpp:1733: Error while loading recipe prototype "stacked-copper-plate" (recipe): Key "icon" not f...

Enqueue is not a word in the English language, as far as I know. Typically it would be "Add to queue." It's easy enough to understand, but I thought I was seeing something Spanish the first time I read it. Except it is: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/enqueue There's ...

Its so great I can't find the right words for it.

Re: [1.1.6] Logistics Robots hover without doing anything despite having quite a lot of stuff to do

It looks like they're all waiting to recharge. (I only looked at the video, not the save.) A roboport can only charge 4 bots at once. And it's not exactly 'fast' when you scale it up. Them forming a circle around it is standard "waiting to recharge" formation. You just put something down t...

Re: Version 1.1.3

This might not belong here, but it is related to 1.1.3. I was looking for some insights into a mod that I have provided assistance with, and I was trying to determine if there is an easy way to prevent handcrafting of certain items, because the recipe creates more than one stack when completed, and...

[1.1.2] Walls with a hidden entity in the same tile prevent placement with other walls.

I asked on the modding discord and Honktown helped me narrow it down. The cause is most likely the change in 1.1 for "Fixed that players could be stuck in walls when building them." So the mod in question is Solar Walls . I'm updating it to 1.1 and I believe there's a bug will walls that p...

I don't know what you have your UI scale at, but this probably isn't a bug.

Re: Logic combinators don't stop on power loss

Yes that was also my situation. It would be nice to have some signal for power loss, or signal output on the power switch for reading its state of open or closed. Read from an accumulator. If stored power drops below 100%, you're using more power than you're generating. Engage backup power. It's al...

Re: info.json factorio_version should support more as one version

while the wiki states that: Mods with the factorio_version "0.18" can also be loaded in 1.0 and the mod portal will return them when queried for factorio_version 1.0 mods. i find this very unintuitive and confusing, both for players and modders, resulting in the hard-to-navigate mods page...

Re: Version 1.1.0

I'm quite surprised by the complaints related to the quickbar change.

Clicking some other quickbar item with something else is hand is just something that doesn't ...

Re: Version 1.1.0

But the whole point is that while the old quickbar did contain items, the new one (i.e. new a few versions ago) actually contains shortcuts. Trying to make it look like it contains items just increases the confusion. My original complaint was based on a reading of the change-log. Now an hour of act...
