So I noticed something on your picture: you were inside the right-headed locomotive, and you ctrl-selected somewhere to the left of your train. I think because you are on the right-headed locomotive, the game sees that and decides to default the starting direction rightward. I suspect if you were on...

afaik, if you hold down LMB (without shift) with power poles on hand, it does not recognize ghosts at all, and would try to place poles most optimally(regardless of whether the chosen locations are already taken by ghosts). (EDIT: didn't finish my words) So in this case, I think this post is more of...

Don't know if this helps, but in this particular situation I was hosting a multi when the bug happened and I got stuck by walls forming a right triangle shape (see first video). It was interesting enough that I decided to try to reproduce it, which is the second video, where I got stuck in a square....

During multiplayer (I host), I can give items to/take items from another player (presumably in my own force/team) regardless of where he/she is, given that I have previously opened their inventory. See video. Although there were two updates since I recorded the video, I don't think this issue is add...

This idea came to me when reading release notes for 0.17.12 (viewtopic.php?f=3&t=67694). My suggestion is to add another button that says "Install with Optional Dependencies", treating all optional dependencies as required and install them as well.

Not quite. That issue is about research prerequisites, this one is about science packs required to perform the research.

Yes you are correct. I guess I didn't read closely enough in this post.

Also when I was digging through release notes, I found this post (https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=401129) that is marked solved and mentioned in 0.17.2. It seems that said post was pointing at essentially the same issue as I had pointed out, but the fix in 0.17.2 was so specific that onl...

My understanding is that they made a deliberate decision not to make the extra science packs a formal requirement for the higher levels of multi-level research. The main reasoning being that it seems obvious enough anyway and that adding these would make the tech tree over-complicated and ugly. Thi...

Update on this bug (0.17.11): it appears that except undo (I tried to remap to ctrl+alt+z and it displays it immediately), all other configured keymappings (tried to add alt or shift modifiers) are not reflected immediately in the quick bar or the checklist on the right side of the quick bar, probab...

See picture. The middle belts are currently yellow belts being marked for upgrade to red. I was holding a blueprint which has the middle belts as red belts, but the middle were marked red and would not place until I press shift to force-place. I am just wondering if this is an intended behaviour or ...

My suggestion is to auto-require science packs which can also help modding, but manually putting those prerequisites in would also be fine.

Additionally, the following techs also have the same issue: worker speed 3-5, inserter stack 3-7, laser turret speed 3-7, energy damage 4-6, character trash slot 2-5, character logistic slot 3-6, follower count 3-4, brake force 3-6, worker cargo 2-3. No picture for those because that would be excess...

Finite miner researches do not yet require respective science packs. This is contrary to the common practice where you first unlock the science pack then the techs that use it. See picture.

Minor bug: quick bar says shortcut for blueprint book is not configured, but I have assigned it with primary control [alt-a] and alternative control [shift-alt-q]. Both controls has worked in game (it creates a book), but neither controls show on quick bar. (It says "Not set" when hovering...
