In my no fuel (again, no mod, just messed with the base files) save, i don't see any difference from my 300+ save file that has trains with fuel exactly because it's that easy to ensure the train's never run out of fuel. And oil to make rocket fuel is infinite, add uranium that you have to many ...

Well the fact that there's nearly 3x as many unit entities in total with the mod installed would explain the difference in time usage. It is pretty well established that enemy units eat your UPS for breakfast.

And thanks again for the game <3

Seems like the same thing happened with the Space Age download. Something must've gone amiss.

Yeah, I just thought it's weird to be using underground connections on an assembler to force direct connection.

The bug aside, isn't using a different connection category the correct way to accomplish this? Just like how fusion plasma works in space age. It won't connect with base game pipes, and you simply don't create a pipe entity that does.

Sounds like an infinite loop in a lua script, which would likely be a bug in the mod and not Factorio itself.

Spawners have an internal flag that controls whether it's protected from automated shooting by turrets, but unless I missed something, the only way I've found to set this flag is through a create entity trigger effect. There's no way to read to write the flag on an existing spawner entity. This ...

You have to enable "Show all items in selection lists" in interface settings.

The grenades are just that powerful, that they actually burn the water. They are capable of mowing down entire forests after all.

Ah I see! I did not realize that effect was coming from a mod, thought it was a vanilla thing removing fully disconnected platform tiles or something. I will investigate which mod is adding that effect and forward the report to that developer to see if/how they want to address it. Thanks!

Oh, one ...

Description
Somehow, under specific circumstances, space platform tiles being destroyed by asteroids can cause a stack overflow. It happened randomly when screwing with a mod that adds ultra powerful thrusters (4 GN), but I don't think the mod is strictly necessary to cause the crash as it occurs ...

This is the case for lots of things. You can actually get virtual signals as inventory items with a bit of trickery! As I understand it's because they're all technically items due to how the game works, just normally there's not a way to obtain them.

I know this is a shot in the dark, but I've got a persistent desync issue that keeps happening at random on a multiplayer server, and because of the amount of players and mods we have there's just no way I'm able to get any clue as to what might be causing it. We can go hours without it happening ...

Ah! I didn't find this thread, my bad. I did try to search but nothing similar came up. It's not very easy to use.

It gets quite annoying having to reorganize my shortcut buttons every time I remove and later re-add some mods. Would be awesome if the game remembered the entries in the player-data.json instead of just clobbering them. I know I can make a backup of the file and restore it, but this is quite ...

Description
When I remove some specific deconstruction requests that overlap some construction ghosts over water, the game hard crashes. This is running on a headless Linux server for the record. I haven't been able to isolate the test case so it's unclear if these exact circumstances are ...

Instead of reverting this, you should have added a checkbox or option in user settings for how smart the smart belt building is.

Seconding this

Wow! The belt dragging changes are extremely nice, and a massive upgrade to an already great mechanic! One little nitpick though is that it doesn't remove underground belts that get placed while dragging.

Optimizations

• Improved performance when holding blueprints.

Very nice to see! I always found it rather silly that pulling out a particularly large blueprint would destroy the framerate.

Thanks for the report. Unfortunately there is nothing that I know of to fix this, the number of slots directly effects the GUI performance and there’s nothing to do about that.


Couldn't you just skip rendering the slots that are outside the visible bounds? Unless I'm misunderstanding the nature ...
