Could one mod this by creating 2 half sized belts. I.e. having 2 belts going opposite ways and just reducing the footprint to 1 tile.
There are hard restrictions of at most 1 transport belt connectable on a single tile (assuming no entity ghosts). This is not doable that way.

Not a bug.

/unlock-tips is when you want to unlock all tips, which means you want them to be visible. From what you described you want to lock them, so you want /reset-tips

Re: LuaSurface points to a surface at index, and not to unique surface

Does this mean indexes will always be unique too, like unit numbers? Or will they still be re-used? It would be nice if they were unique to use as an identifier. Can't use the surface name because that can change. No. It means that LuaSurface will get invalid permanently when surface gets deleted. ...

Re: LuaSurface points to a surface at index, and not to unique surface

You are right, LuaSurface uses SurfaceIndex for binding and grabs surface by index every time surface is needed. For 2.0 i am changing LuaSurface to use a targeter to surface which will change this behavior to the one you expected: when a surface is deleted, LuaSurface that was pointing at it will b...

Re: [1.1.107] nixie-tubes fails to load

Not a bug.

Simhelper is not compatible with 1.1.107 because debug.upvalueid was removed with other functions due to safety concerns. Space exploration mod and nixie tubes mod were updated to no longer require simhelper. Please update your mods.

Could it be that you were changing hidden settings and accidentaly enabled the "log-stack-trace-on-non-critical-exception" ? It is known to cause freezes since it loads symbols file to generate readable stack trace for the purpose of log file, but it is only supposed to be used when debugg...

Re: Difference between LuaEntity::revive() and LuaEntity::silent_revive()

Both of those are using the same internal function for revive purposes with the only difference being that silent_revive makes no sound and creates no smoke.

Re: [boskid][1.1.104] Desync after setting pathfinder cache size while pathfinder is in use

Thanks for the report. Issue is now fixed for 2.0. Root cause is that a/ writing to map_settings does not trigger cache resize, and b/ cache is resized on load. Desync would not happen if any of those 2 would not happen. Main fix for 2.0 is that writing to map_settings will immediately resize those ...

Cue the disappointment. Can we either:
a) make replay work (almost) universally by making Factorio run "as" an older version, when necessary?
b) migrate replay/save files to the current version (maybe with an asterisk saying it may not be a perfect replica?)
a/ No.
b/ Absolutely No.

Re: [boskid][1.1.104] Large saves fail to load on Linux with Bad zip file

I managed to reproduce this issue in 1.1.x on linux but when trying this in 2.0 on linux it loaded without any issues so it is fixed at least for 2.0. Since part of the fixes was to update minizip library i am not going to mess with 1.1.x anymore and i will say this is a duplicate of https://forums....

Re: Sound alignment is off

Given that programmable speakers were never designed with this use case in mind and since there is no sample queue and at the same time the update is not guaranteed to run at 60 updates per second in case of large maps or slow machines, i am going to call this is Not a bug.
