They just announced a years worth of FFF, I wouldn't expect them to show everything on week 0.


The interesting thing will be the new mechanics; everything else can, and probably will, be modded in short order.

Re: Binary decoder

I have tried and failed to make XKnight's decoder. Can anyone post non-cryptic information for the rest of us? Those posts are quite old. Since then combinators gained the ability to do bitwise logic, making the old designs obsolete unless you want to learn the trickery they used. In current factor...

Re: How to use .Insert if I already know the Unit_Number of the chest?

Thanks this was very helpful information, so in my case I am creating a new surface and placing a chest on it, so I know the surface name, and I know the chest number, what would be an efficient way to use those to insert inventory into that chest? Since you're placing the chest yourself, just reme...

Re: entity_limitation and entity_limitation_blacklist for module prototypes

One issue with this is how to convey to the player what the limits are in a given module. The distinction of what recipes accept what module effects is already confusing. Hovering a machine's module slots gives a tooltip listing the accepted modules, including restrictions from the current recipe, ...

Re: better management of a train with two locomotives (being able to go backwards or forwards)

Trains can do this probably since their introduction, at least for longer than I'm playing Factorio. Please post pictures of your setup or the save, there's probably an error in your signaling. But note that trains will only change the direction of travel when leaving a station (and when they're ini...

Re: Train conditions doing the opposite of what their meant to

the train is meant to go to the "full" stop when the cargo is full, and is meant to go to the empty stop when the cargo is "empty". In the video, you'll see it's going to the "full" stop when the cargo is instead empty, and vice versa to the "empty" stop when...

Re: [1.1.57] Storage chest information pushed off screen by logistics storage

To put it in simpler/other words: The request is to reorder the info pane so that "Logistic System Storage" (and other "show all items/signals"-like entries) is the final/bottommost entry.

Re: Entity deconstructor or disassembling machine

Disassembling a low density structure could result in the raw materials, even w...

Re: Simple 3-combinator memory cell - handles bursts+negatives

Providing a non-zero R resets the memory (combinator 3) to zero. But you're providing I and R at the same time. Since setting and resetting are obviously conflicting commands, you now have to figure out which one takes priority. From reading the description you can see that setting internally also g...

You're running out of memory. Sounds like the map got larger than what the switch can handle.

Re: [1.1.74] failing to load player-data after save (infrequent)

I think I found one piece of the puzzle, at least for some linux users: When using a fresh install, the state of the non-blocking saving option toggles whether the save-name in player-data.json will be clean or garbage. I don't think this is the actual cause, since non-blocking saving can't explain ...

Re: [1.1.74 ]Train inventory logic

Inserters act as soon as the train in front of them arrives, but signals take one tick per combinator to propagate. You need to make sure the inserters are disabled while the station is empty. Train stops can read the id of the stopped train (default signal T). If T == 0, the station is empty.

Re: Loading worlds from before 0.18?

1.0 is essentially a continuation of the 0.18 branch, that's why there's no 0.18 version archived. During the beta, I recall factorio being able to load games up to two versions older that itself, but that being cut to one version for 1.0. My current 1.1.76 claims to be able to load games with versi...
