Well that is disappointing. I guess the BP pic led me to believe the connections were retained. Connections are retained, as you can see by the fact that all the switches are connected to their respective power poles. It is the disconnections that are not retained. This is constantly happening to m...

I agree with this suggestion. I often find myself placing what will be the exit to an underground belt, then the entrance and reversing the direction, as often I know where I have to finish, but want to maximize my use of length.

Also agree with the toggle option.

Triple-A games have the naming wrong. When an AAA game is officially in "Early Access" it is "Pre-Alpha", if it's in "Beta" it's in "Very Early Access". The "Release" is equivalent to "Early Access". And the Game-of-the-Year edition if act...

Did I go into a coma for 4 months? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version: 1.10.8 Date: 2019-04-21 Bugfixes: - Stop distance cache is reset on version updates ------------------------------------------------------------------------...

While en route to a temporary stop I reordered the stops. Game locked up and crashed.

Stop that I was leaving (Fuel Stop) is a temporary stop created by mod (Automatic Fuel Train Stop).

I was not able to recreate it after loading my most recent save.

The term 'toolbelt' makes perfect sense in context, and is only confusing to those who haven't yet grown accustomed to thing at the bottom of the screen having been changed to a 'hotbar'.

*Quickbar.

If a mod solution is the way to go, then there is really nothing better than this one. https://mods.factorio.com/mod/FuelTrainStop Train low on fuel? Fuel Stop is added to the schedule with 2 seconds of inactivity condition. After leaving, Fuel Stop is removed from schedule. Now that the game has t...

Train low on fuel? Fuel Stop is added to the schedule with 2 seconds of inactivity condition. After leaving, Fuel Stop is removed from schedule.

The only semi-usable semi-realistic hack i can come up with would be someething like "if player double-taps Q with empty cursor" (or some other hotkey) -> show a menu they can select an item from. But as the only pre-made "menu" of that type is chose-element buttons you'd always...

TL;DR Pick up ghost from you hand production What? I would like to be able to picked items up in ghost mode from the manual crafting area. Why? I find it irritating that I get to a location to build a new part of a factory, only to find out that I forgot one item. I don't have the resources on hand ...

Improved efficiency of noise program compilation For the layman person that just plays and enjoys the game, would this happen to mean that map generation is a little faster? How do you just play and enjoy the game? I need to know the mechanics to enjoy it. I think I spend as much time playing the g...

You can fix this problem by setting the default provide threshold to 100,000,000, or by using LTN combinator instead of the vanilla constant combinators.

Yeah. I guess that would fix the problem of the visual nuisance. And I'm pretty good for specifying a threshold for my stations.

So, it sounds like setting an excessive provide threshold is the only/best way to prevent becoming an accidental provider. Is that what is being said? I have tried to get into the habit of putting a provide threshold of 10,000 stacks, which should be more that any station of mine ever has. This is a...

As a simple help, just set all depots like this: station (itself) -> decider combinator -> LTN station lamp Set the station to output cargo Set the combinator to "everything = 0" output "Depot 1" I did something similar to this. My method was to have all depot stations connected...

from the description it sounds like the clear destination is then set to the inventory, and likely reserves a slot for it. How does it behave with a full inventory though? it falls on the floor Fake news! It does not reserve an inventory slot, so when you do the described action with a full invento...

[*]When a temporary blueprint(e.g. blueprint from copy) is placed in the quickbar, the blueprint won't be destroyed when clearing the cursor and instead moved to the inventory. (65332)

So does this now create a blueprint in inventory, or just in the quickbar?

In my opinion, a simple change to "It can also be used to replace any kind of path" would be clearer, and should be sufficient to keep everyone happy. Using "replace" is actually an inferior phrasing IMO compared to the existing one, as it is technically incorrect. As already me...

That's why I said it could be "ground cover(ing)" or some thing else to be clearer.

or if they think of something else first, like trains with no collision or something. Happened to me.. and i was excited, so the real thing it does is kind of a letdown :D (still a nice idea though) Same. That is what I would hope for when hearing ghost train: ghost_train.jpg Oh, what a surprise. G...
