A common issue with factorio multiplayer is that when the map gets bigger and you begin to reach UPS limits the slower players get dropped as they cannot keep up. The current solutions to this are either to: host the game on the slowest pc so that everyone can keep up. This is not always possible or...

I changed to ghost controller with /c game.player.set_controller{type=defines.controllers.ghost} then open the permissions window with /permissions Changing permissions in this state does not apply and you can not close the permissions window I got out of the state by changing the controller type vi...

It would be great if when you:
Craft a better armor it would automatically swap it for your current armor
Pick up a corpse, it would equip the best armor in the corpse rather than the worst. (this is particularly annoying)

Any armor tag put in chat seems to result in power armor 2 icon being displayed
Specifically referring to player armor, not the armor item

If you go into editor mode, the character/weapon GUI jumps back to the old position in the bottom right corner

The new editor gui settings tab follows the vertical size of whatever is selected in the tools tab
So if you select none in tools, settings is really short
if you select entities in tools, settings fills the screen (vertically)

When playing on a multiplayer game with some latency, the personal laser beams originate from the character position but the light effect for the beams originate from a delayed position

To reproduce: I load a multiplayer save file, place a locomotive and then run while locomotive is selected and Bilka is offline.

PS. Doesn't seem to crash if offline player is in editor mode

I found a workaround using the train-stop which seems to work in my case (it hasn't broken anything yet), so I probably don't need this anymore.

EDIT: turns out my workaround has some issues.

The workaround is to listen for the build event, calculate the expected position, and rebuild or refund the building if it does not match. You cant calculate the expected position because you are exactly halfway between 2 or 4 valid positions. You can refund if its off but then player has a 1 in 4 ...

I would like something which forces placement of the prototype on the rail grid, (the way it works with rails and train-stops) eg "placeable-rail-grid" flag in EntityPrototypeFlags This would allow creation of modded entities related to the rail grid. Currently this is only achievable by b...

The icons made with scaling on the left side are anti-aliased, the pixels were blended in resizing rather than sampled. Sure the quality could be improved further with some more processing.
The image on the right makes me feel like I need to get my eyes checked.

Most of the new icons appear blurry at 100% scale. On the left I set the game to 200% and then rescaled the screenshot by half in mspaint. On the right is the ingame icons on 100% The rescaled icons in paint are much clearer. Especially visible on solar panel and accumulators https://i.imgur.com/KaT...

If you join a multiplayer game as a client and go into editor mode, you can add and remove areas but attempting to change the name makes it nil and changing the color makes it black.
Works fine in singleplayer or when hosting multiplayer.

This would allow recreating the train gui with modifications, seeing as modifying base guis is not allowed.
Also useful for creating other train-related guis

When part of a train is on a curve, the snapping points for adding a new wagon on the straight section no longer correspond to the position of the back wagon but have an offset. For the mod I am developing wagons added to the back of the train via script based on the back_stock position do not alway...

I want to use the same mod settings across all saves but every save I load keeps its own settings.
Enabling or disabling the "Use different mod settings per save" option has no effect.

Segment - a series of rails that are not split in between by junctions, signals or stations. The basic unit for pathfinder.

Above returns nil in all cases



Above works fine

Rail signals have two placement positions on a straight rail. If the rail signal is at the further away position from the source rail for get_rail_segment_entity, the rail signal entity is returned. However if the rail signal is at the closer position, get_rail_segment_entity returns nil. I expect i...

If you switch to a player who has the tech window open while in a paused replay, the fullscreen tech window covers the replay gui and you cannot unpause or leave.

The replay gui needs to be in front, it would also be nice if it had hotkeys.
