Why doesn't 'e' open my inventory? Oh wait...

Edit: I do realize the work-around solution is to stop playing other games...

Really not sure what happened, not doing anything special, was looking at something else, when I looked back there was a crash with the 'unexpected error' pop up... log file attached...

Yes that would be a nice QoL touch, to go with remembering the state for the production and power GUIs.

Amarula, are you using pulseaudio or pipewire (or something else)? Do you have pulseaudio-alsa or pipewire-alsa package installed? Pulseaudio and pipewire seem to be installed only on Steam; this error occurred when I was playing from direct install so I am guessing something else (sorry not an exp...

In the meantime it's possible to switch back to the previous Allegro audio backend. Ctrl-Alt-Click settings => The rest => audio-backend => set to "allegro" and then restart the game. Or you can edit the config.ini, search for audio-backend and change that line to "audio-backend=alle...

Here's the same display applied to train stops for a radar-free map display.

Very cool display thank you!
Counting my rocket launches...

Or...maybe notes could be "more simply" added in the same manner in which blueprints are, with a copy-paste-edit, rather than a whole new function from scratch. Make a noteBOOK, too. Instead of the hash/code/whatever for each blueprint, it's normal text. Oh I like this idea! Being able to...

TL;DR Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. ... If you build it, they will come. ... Rube Goldberg eat your heart out. ...

An idea whose time has come? *Enters user-configurable alarm as a reminder*

Once you get construction bots, it just happens... until then, yes it is a little tedious, for belts as well as inserters...

I had the same issue, can confirm it takes two pumps - one pump can only connect to one train. If you look at the visualization when a train pulls in, you can see which pump it has connected to.

Thanks for the report. Issue is now fixed for 1.1.60 Thank you! Very early on in my Factorio career, I saw a suggestion to use burner inserters to avoid problems when running out of power in early game. I set up a furnace line using them, and promptly ran out of power (my own personal Factorio supe...

Oh that is just what the doctor ordered! You rock!

I'm working on an improvement: the ability to upload mod-list.json and the ability to manually select which mods you're interested in, so that you can hide irrelevant mods that happen to have the same settings as the big ones.

That is going to be very helpful, thank you!

This looks pretty cool. I just dropped in my current mod settings to see. I am using IR (Industrial Revolution) and Production Monitor. I have K2 installed but not enabled. My only comment is more for mod authors than you: I can at least recognize K2 Turrets and Krastorio Translations, but one of th...

How to reset the green hooks to unread in the Tips & Tricks?

There is a console command /reset-tips. It will not disable achievements. Oh and the console display can be toggled with the / (slash) or ~ (tilde) keys.

I checked and the same applies to roboports. The tooltip states max consumption is 4.05MW, but when you place it and it starts charging, the draw is 5MW. This is much less of a concern as it only happens once when the roboport is placed, but it is still an inconsistency.

Very Cool!
Have you thought about writing up an article in a more depth for Alt-F4? I would love to read that...
