Re: [1.1.103]Reselecting rail blueprint shifts global grid position, persists after cancelling edit

Re-selecting the content of some rail blueprints shifts the global grid set in the blueprint by 2 tiles (can be X, Y, or both). This change even persists when cancelling the edit via ESC or the [X] button in the blueprint editor window. The second part is a duplicate of [0.18.38] "Select new c...

Re: Persistent trains dialog box

The state of the trains dialog box should persist when the dialog is closed and reopened. Related: Back button on Trains interface As I wrote in that thread and you have described too, the underlying issue is that the current behaviour leads to tiresome repeated navigation. I think the train overvi...

Re: Blue Science Crafting Time

Crafting time per science pack of Blue/Chemical Science packs are out of order compared to the rest. Just cut the craft time in half to make it in-line with the rest. Time is not the only component of a recipe. Can't have a 1.5 red circuit in a recipe, so the recipe's overall balance would have to ...

I don’t, I assumed it was a simple one-time glitch and reloaded before checking which cleared the log.
I rather doubt it helps now but the previous log is also retained (factorio-previous.log). I think you've provided all you can and will have to see what the devs make of it.

Re: [1.1.101] Crashed after save, corrupted save AND all auto-saves

I take it you don't have the log from the first crash (during or just after saving)? Do all the autosaves produce the same stack trace? The simplest explanation I can think of is that the in-memory game state was corrupted before the oldest autosave, in a way that only shows up on load, and the firs...

Re: Robot Help

I have an early bot mod, and these bots lose power before even finishing one full trip. It's annoying. I even tried an infinite charge mod. They last about 10-15 seconds then stop. Only way to fix it is to pick up each bot manually(while picking up construction "ghosts" accidentally in th...

Re: "Requires Mod" Blueprint parameter

I think the suggestion of making sure any needed mods are installed couldn't work sensibly because you use a blueprint within a game, but mod changes must be outside a game. I'm also not sure the game can necessarily tell which mods are required for a given blueprint to work as intended, and it's de...

Re: An option to display input and output per 60 seconds

Just started playing captain of industry and it is pretty neat to have an option to show production and resource usage in "per 60 seconds". It sounds like you are referring to the recipe information. The actual rates depend on the machine's crafting speed and module effects, so this only ...

Re: How to request correct train at stations that accept multiple types of goods

The short answer is that you can't, at least not without mods. True in the sense that it is highly unlikely that OP is able to. I had something more fundamental in mind: at least without mods, you can't control which train will succeed in reserving a stop that "opens" when there is more t...

I want to have 1 station that can accept oil or ammunition or maybe logistics bots (what is being accepted doesn't really matter). How can I request that an oil train will go to my remote base when the oil gets low but an ammunition train doesn't? The short answer is that you can't, at least not wi...

Re: Check map exchange string when overwriting a save

The current UI is just bad: it tries to combine two actions in a way likely to lead to mistakes and data loss. Prompting for confirmation based on rules determining "this looks like a different save" misses a simpler solution of separating "save" (overwrite current file without c...
