Re: Last User shows my steam username and not my LAN player name

Is this after changing your account name, and using commands to swap inventories? In that case it isn't steam usernames that are the problem, but that the other character is still part of the save, and many machines were still last-used by this character. I don't think the character can be removed, ...

Re: Friday Facts #381 - Space Platforms

FFF notices some logistics are "incredibly annoying": The problem was, that the actual gameplay produced by this system proved to be incredibly annoying very quickly. The reason is, that you need many different items in small quantities to build all the platform mini-factory and the only r...

Re: Passive Requester Chests

Yep. Distribute storage chests all around your explored area, and put buffer chests into your mall area, with filters what each chest should contain. Then items delivered as trash to all the storage chests are being sorted and consolidated back to the mall area in the buffer chests as second step. ...

Re: Passive Requester Chests

Buffer chests are supposed to solve this. It would be better to add missing features to buffer chests than to add a whole new chest.

Re: Storage Chest should act like Active Provider Chest for blacklisted items

The only workaround I've found was putting the chest down, setting the filter, then doing a cut and paste of the placed chest to stop any bots from coming to it and replace it with the filter in place. It is tedious! I have a blueprint I made in /editor, of a storage chest filtered for an impossibl...

Re: Mining oil to unlock refinery and chem plant?

Therefore, my proposal is that in 2.0, basic oil processing will be unlocked the same way as in 1.1 and lock sulphur and plastic behind petroleum production. This is the actual TL;DR. I don't want this suggestion. I believe locking oil recipes is only moderately annoying, and is justified by introd...

Re: [1.1.91] "Storage chest in the way" message when putting rails into it with ctrl+click

I confirmed this in 1.1.92 and 1.0.0.

Only on Rails. Other large items (roboport, radar) didn't generate the message.

I want the belt immunity equipment to be an "abstract item" that just appears as a button toggle when you put on power armor. I've been annoyed since its introduction that it's the only item other than portable solar panels that takes up a 1x1 slot in a grid. Also it's the kind of thing t...

Re: Friday Facts #379 - Abstract rewiring

With the deconstruction planner becoming an abstract item, will it still be possible to use it in this way? Even if we lost the option to make these blueprints with the UI, the old blueprints would probably still work, and we could copy the setting from them. I have an old blueprint that used the C...

Re: Friday Facts #379 - Abstract rewiring

I notice the droopy combinator wires all the time, and I like this change. For aesthetic reasons I would ask for a way to wire things at ground level, without going up to pole level, only to go back down again. But it already exists: a wooden box with all slots limited. I keep forgetting this, and s...

Re: Friday Facts #378 - Trains on another level

I posit that when you disassemble a fully charged accumulator, it maintains its charge. And maybe it's possible to charge accumulators in an assembly line (similar to how it's possible in Dyson Sphere Program), thus allowing the player to place fully charge accumulators, which could be very useful ...

Re: Help. I have a map with no Oil

You can use Change Map Settings to change oil generation, and then you have a choice of ways to regenerate oil according to the new settings.

Delete Empty Chunks, or
Regenerate Terrain, or

Code: Select all

Re: Rail signals place wrong when using pipette [1.1.92]

I get the opposite behavior of this, also in 1.1.92 Using R to rotate a signal is not "sticky" the way inserters are splitters are, and is reset whenever you move the mouse pointer to another tile. (It's always been this way, right?) But using the pipette DOES copy the correct rotation. I ...
