That thread is locked now. Is that the end of the discussion then? Answer is no?

This exploit makes the map I host trivially easy at the start, since the players are able to keep their evolution much lower than intended by simply disabling the nests with this box/pipe hack. :<

Sneaky players in my multiplayer server figured out they can surround a nest with inexpensive wood chests, and this will stop any bugs from spawning at the nest.
This is exploitative because it disables the nest without incurring an evolution penalty from destroying it.

The behavior ...

Thanks! Amazing response time. You guys are the greatest :>

The above behavior IS produced in Vanilla. No mods involved.

If that was the dev's perspective then the real bug would be that the Rotate (R) key does not rotate to the intermediate directions.

Somehow I don't think that's what they intended though.

Some further context. I saw this in the log file:

I was able to look up the name of player-index 73 and talk to them. They have told me they were copying and pasting a ...

I returned from a long afk to find the game crashed.
It's unclear what caused the crash and I have no info about how to reproduce it. However, the log seems to have a nice stack trace about what went wrong.
Something to do with rails, I think?

Unfortunately I have no clue how to reproduce this ...

Players can remotely drive vehicles on the "enemy" force by hovering the vehicle in map view, and pressing enter.

I attach a scenario that is suitable for exploring this problem. It's a tiny test world with various vehicles on the "enemy" force.

Here's a save where the problem is visible. To reproduce the bug: load the save, go to the map, and turn on the "Show Pipelines" overlay.

In my scenario, the players face an enemy force who has various structures etc.
However a sneaky player has just discovered that they can reveal whats up ahead in the fog of war by enabling the "Show Pipelines" map overlay.

Surely this isn't right. I expected that "Show Pipelines ...

No problem, fully agree it's minor issue. Thanks for the reply :>

I don't think this is a bug, as when you zoom in to normal view, you can usually see the ghost as well as the real entity underneath it. I suspect this is done by offsetting the position of the ghost slightly, which is what you see on the map.


Offsetting the position slightly so the entities ...

Actually I think it may affect all things? The pixels on poles and lamps look misaligned and inconsistent too, although its harder to see those.

I was placing a roboport grid, and noticed that the preview of the roboports does not perfectly line up with the pixels of the existing roboports.

Here's an image to show what I mean:

I expected that when I hover the existing roboport grid with my blueprint, there will be no ...

I bound the "drag map" button as the side mouse button.
This works everywhere except the Space Map, where I still have to use left mouse button to drag the map around.

I expected the Space Map would respect the same drag map keybind as everywhere else.

Minor bug, easily reproduced tho :>

I almost hate to say this, because I've got really used to the name.... but....
In English, we would generally say "Iron Rod", and not "Iron Stick".

It's been a running joke between my friend and I, how fast the bugs are getting fixed. The huge list of fixes every patch, and the almost daily deployment of new patches... It's breathtakingly efficient.
I've encountered just 1 crash and no other bugs during my playtime so far. I've been averaging ...

woohoo, thanks ! :D You guys are the best!! So efficient :>

Hello, I know what causes this from my experience with making scenarios. The latest update has changed the global storage table's name. It used to be called "global". It's now called "storage".

To fix the problem, you'll need to navigate to the folder where your savegame is stored. Open the ...
