Re: Friday Facts #405 - Whole belt reader, New logistics GUI

Faster subsequent rocket launches = nope - if you make the expansion such way that more rockets is needed, then rather add new tech, more tonnage ( item capacity) technology to research. - start of a rocket should stay a precious moment, always. Do not add inflation, rather make it even more precio...

Re: Friday Facts #405 - Whole belt reader, New logistics GUI

With the first and second iteration, you could see where each of the items in a network currently are. This information can be really valuable in some circumstances (like when changing some part of the base but forgetting to remove one single request). I think it would be a really nice if there was ...

[1.1.104] Update failed: changelog-switch.txt has unexpected content

I tried to update from 1.1.104 for 1.1.106 but got the message
Update failed: Checking update packages failed: File D:/Factorio/Factorio normal/data/changelog-switch.txt has unexpected content

Restarting the game doesn't change this.

I added the logs of both game sessions and the mentioned file.

Re: [1.1.91] construction bots struggle with landfill

Remove the more than 1 million (!!!) ghosted landfill south of the west solar field and north of the east solar field and bots will work again. The game has to iterate over all ghost tiles and doing so with 1 million takes so long (I guess 1 per tick if they are out of roboport range, so almost 2 fu...

Start replay from command line.

Is it possible to start a replay from the command line (and set the simulation speed to 64)?
It would be really helpful for me as I'm trying to automatically get some information out of replays.

Re: [1.1.76] Difficult to add modules to machines with recipes having the same modules as ingredient

The worst case could be that you blueprint assemblers with module type A in them but the recipe need module type B. Now it becomes a race between bots and inserters which basically rely on the randomness of which entities are placed first. So you could mess up ratios, consume way more power for a l...

Re: [1.1.76] Difficult to add modules to machines with recipes having the same modules as ingredient

Kind of sounds more like a suggestion and not a bug. Also, I sounds like a really bad idea to insert modules into the module slots of assemblers AT ALL. There would then be modules in assemblers which are not supposed to have any. The worst case could be that you blueprint assemblers with module typ...

Re: [1.1.73] latest experimental headless link is not updated

I tried it for a few times and it seems like this is cache related (browser/server/idk). The first time after loading the page (whether https://factorio.com/download or the link in the report) sometimes downloads the 1.1.72, after that always the 1.1.73

Re: [1.1.70] Action bar slider doesn't work

The action bar (or shortcut bar) is the part of the gui to the right of the quickbar (which holds the items for hotkeys and quick grab).
What you want to increase is the slider above that says Active quick bars (second from the buttom).

Re: Multithread the entity update phase

With entity phase I mean the part of the main loop which appears as "Entity update" in the debug option "show-time-usage". Afaik, this is one single thread and contains production entities (assemblers, furnaces, etc.) and inserters. As stated in the first post, I'm not sure about...

Multithread the entity update phase

Would it be possible to somehow multithread the entity update phase of the game loop? At least on the large bases I build, most of the update time (between ~12 ms at ~55 UPS) is spend on the entity phase, so any optimization there would be really nice. I gave this some thought and would like to know...

Re: Editor mode movement speed slow

Did you change the game speed though the editor GUI? On really high speed (*32 and *64), you move significantly slower, just like you described.

Re: [1.1.61] Empty whitelist filter in selection-tool.*_filters is treated as no filter.

The suggested behaviour could be a protection against basically setting a map to public by removing the last entry of the whitelist.
But I don't really know if that is enough reason.

When right-clicking train fuel in the blueprint editor (with trains enabled), it just disappears. The only way to get it back is to disable and then re-enable train fuel. I would expect one of two things to happen after right-clicking the train fuel: 1) The number of the train fuel gets set to 0 and...

Editor menu not resizing when switching to the settings tab

This is most noticeable when having the NONE tool selected, as only a minor part of the settings is visible and you have to scroll a ...
