I think there's an checkbox in options to show pollution on the map. Try unchecking it.

Why not just use modulo? Like:
You only ever need one if statement for that.

Until 0.12.1 comes.

Oh, so you can actually get rid of them without robots? Wonderful, I thought I was stuck with that ugly patch of misplaced bricks forever.

Would any kind soul here be willing to explain how chain signals work, how are they different from regular signals and what are their uses? Are they simply regular signals that also need the following block free to turn green, or is their function more complicated?

You can't change behaviour of individual units. However, you can give them orders and put them into groups (which you can then give orders to instead of individual units) Basically, a large scale strategic AI is viable, while a tactical AI governing individual biters is... less so. Not impossible, b...

I haven't played since 0.11.7 or so, since I'm not a fan of the new endgame idea and wanted to see how it would pan out. But there's so much new stuff planned for 0.12, and so many new modding possibilities!

No you can't have them. Why? I think it would be great if the devs released them. Not all of them of course, but a few examples to let modders know how the devs do it would help a lot. Just look at how mod graphics look now, even the best user models are terribly inconsistent with the game's defaul...

For 0.12, I completely rewrote the internal logic of all the transport belt related entities (belt, underground belt, splitter). The items on the belts are no longer represented as individual entities. These are just very simple internal structures moving on small invisible "rails". Will ...

It doesn't exist. Idle consumption is controlled by the energy_source.drain property, and it defaults to energy_consumption / 30.

In 0.11, cars are pretty much unbreakable by collisions. Oh, I don't know. Every time I get mine hit by a train it still blows up :D Trains in 0.11 are actually elder gods in disguise. You can park one in the middle of a biter base, get coffee and then return back to see they've barely scratched th...

Is it disabled completely, or only for multiplayer (like game.player)?

Agree about these two. Don't care to admit how many times I've shot up my own stuff trying to pause or unpause the game with shift+space. I don't use the car much because constantly repairing it is a pain. Would be nice if it was invulnerable to collisions apart from with worms/biters and worm/bite...

When you have multiple electric networks share their generators and machines, only one of the networks shows any electricity production and consumption, the rest appears to be empty. Whether that is intentional or not, I have no idea. It does lead to one particular issue, though - if placed in a cer...

I'm not sure if you know about this, but you can use the game.entityprototypes table to access properties of entity prototypes from control.lua.

After some schooling from Rseding, it seems the wiki was wrong. The day-night cycle is 7 minutes long and night is 41 seconds long, and it has been this way for at least a year.

If any of you played Banished - think about the autosave indicator in that game. It is very non-intrusive, but still gives you the indication if you want to see it. Yeah, Banished did it really well. It only shown a little icon of a guy with a pickaxe in one of the corners. Perhaps Factorio could s...

Our results match then, and if wiki is right and it wasn't so in 0.11.8, it's either an undocumented change or a bug. Time to where devs will file the report.

I've turned off the autosave because of this. I barely noticed autosaves before, and even on large factories it was just a brief stutter, but now the darkening and progress bar are incredibly distracting. It would be great if it was possible to turn this off in options.

On this page , the wiki says the game night (ie the time when solar panels generate no power) is 66.5 seconds long. However, I just measured it with a stopwatch and got a result of somewhere around 40 seconds, not 66.5 seconds. It's not a problem of the game running too fast, as machines idly draini...
