character tab was rarely used, because it wasn't developed to its full potential i used it to change the color of my character in a civilized way. rarely, but basically at least once every game. i used it to see the actual proper numeric values of my batteries and shields. i used it to enable/disabl...

love the changes. will placing/force-placing blueprints change the rotation of existing belts etc., or does it work only with manual ghost placing? also: 1.1? If i'm not mistaken that means having to change the Factorio version in settings of all mods. Are there any actual backwards-incompatible mod...

Just have a fuel train that drops fuel off at every station yeah... that's one of the workarounds that i don't like. and one that is not even possible in some cases. If it is possible to route the train to a fueling station, then how can it be impossible to send fuel to a station on the train's rou...

There is some logic " a manager" which controls traffic. It is not just limiter, it is traffic controller. On top is easier to talk about the feature as manager rather then limiter. Perhaps it would be nice to make it work as technology to research. In a way you're right that there's a so...

Lets name the feature Departure queue manager abreviation used in the fallowing text is DQM Because: - it better describe what it does. Manages a queue of trains which are heading to a destination. (...) - wording " stop limit " sounds restrictively and negative. This feature helps & ...

most of the time, if i want to have about a full stack of something, i set the requests to something like from 80% or 90% of a stack size to one stack, so when bots deliver slightly more than the minimum, neither i get another stack, nor they have to fly all the way back to put it to some random st...

i mean, if you just set something to be in the range of 100-100 (or whatever is the stack size for that item) then it will not create a new stack either... Say you set 1k belts and you mine some belts up, then you have 11 stacks of belts tying up inventory space now. That can be mitigated by trash ...

i set the requests to something like from 80% or 90% of a stack size to one stack I do it because when I'm working on my base and I retrieve a few of something it will not automatically roll over to a new stack. i mean, if you just set something to be in the range of 100-100 (or whatever is the sta...

it's not something i paid attention to when reading this FFF for the first time, but after reading those comments here and playing around with site's CSS, i'm on board that the new website's colors could be made better. just because it's an FFF doesn't mean the text color needs to be #FFF :P somethi...

oh, regarding the fluid flushing: i really don't understand how is that related to fluid mixing prevention . it's a greatly convenient* solution to clearing the wrong fluid from a pipe, but it really has nothing to do with solving the cause of the problem when fluid mixing happens in the rarest of c...

okay, this looks much better. they look like a part of the background now, so the important buildings are more noticeable etc. but i have one issue: with this flat design of a mess of cables, they look like destroyed remnants of some building, instead of an active working one, at least on a static i...

the point was that despite what you wrote it is NOT redundant now, and will not be made redundant even if they add this indicator to new assemblers. It will only be redundant if A L L machines get this indicator, and it will be as clearly visible and as configurable as Bottleneck is. https://media....

Not to mention that the bottleneck indicators are now made redundant by the built-in indicator on the new miner model. I thought these new indicators were only in the new miners? So bottleneck would be redundant just for them, not for assemblers, furnaces, etc. Is that correct? Yep yep, totally rig...

abc_1.0.0.zip/abc/data.lua was already possible before. in fact it could have been abc_1.0.0.zip/foo/data.lua mods can also be loaded from folders directly, and those can now exist without the version number so what was abc_1.0.0/data.lua can now be abc/data.lua. okay, i knew about using unzipped f...

Mods can now be loaded from directories with the name of the mod but no version number. cool, finally! but how about, you know, not requiring mods to be in a folder inside of another (zipped) folder at all? i.e. i just can't understand why abc_1.0.0.zip/abc_1.0.0/data.lua which can now become abc_1...

Any plans of pushing it to steam experimental channel for the clients? :mrgreen: It's showing up if you manually select it, but not updating when you have 0.18.x selected. geez, this again. it will ALWAYS happen eventually guys, just give it a couple of minutes... up to an hour. i'm pretty sure it'...

Graphics

• Reworked Engine unit icon.
• Tweaked the color of Sulfur icon.

For people like me, who'd prefer to not have to update Factorio to see it: lookin' good

Is this reverting the change in 0.17.0 or is that something else? Bugfixes Fixed that canceling production in assembling machine did return the products in progress. I think that refers to returning the finished product, not the ingredients no, you always get the already finished products. i suppos...

The .16 version had the executables etc. The .17 is different, in that it only has the data directory. your download must've crashed before it was completed. i can confirm there's a 'bin' folder with a binary file inside called 'factorio'. the downloaded .tar.xz should be 39 212 920 bytes in size i...
