When using a blueprint to overbuild a build with existing structures with internal configurations, such as prioritized splitters or assembling machines with recipes, the blueprint will copy the internal configuration. The blueprint shows up as blue and not red when hovering it, semantically showing ...

I have a build. Imagine the following scenario: 1) I schedule an upgrade for the belts in the build using an upgrade planner 2) I make a blueprint copy of the build I would obviously expect the blueprint to contain the upgraded belts. However it contains the unupgraded belts. Normally when a build c...

Imagine the following scenario: 1) I schedule some yellow belts to be upgraded to red belts using the upgrade planner 2) The yellow belts are destroyed by biters, which replace them with ghosts, which my bots then build. Now the question is what the ghosts are. There are 2 sane design possibilities ...

I would definitely expect undo to work like this. So to me it would be more appropriate to at least call it a "minor bug".

See screenshot. The red columns obviously should not be there. I am playing on Ubuntu Linux 18.04.2 LTS and my graphics card is "Radeon HD 7700/7800 Series".

If I understand it correctly, then holding down the mouse button while building belt should not replace a splitter, if you started building on a belt. This seems to work only sometimes. See e.g. https://clips.twitch.tv/TrustworthyArbitraryWeaselPrimeMe Testing out (copying what AntiElitz did), it se...

Thanks! 7 minutes from bug reported to bug fixed at 23:00 in the evening is an acceptable response time.

If I zoom out completely in normal play, I can see land which is in fog of war in map view. If I try to ghost-build in that area from map view, I get the error "Can't build in fog of war" as expected. But if I try to ghost build from normal view in the same area (which is displayed as perf...

The silo used to be 10 tiles high, but was recently changed to 9 tiles high.

It seems likely that the placement of modules in the silo was not updated. Since they are now shown way too low, and lower than they used to in 0.16.

it is not something we can control. If OpenGL call decides to hang instead of returning an error, it's not really something we can workaround (I just assume it hang in OpenGL) Since it mostly seems to hang in the same place, you could add a check for the amount of free vram before that, and then ju...

The instances are totally separate.

Yup, that seems to work!

It is fair enough that running 2 instances of Factorio is not your primary support case . But the error mode (freeze) is quite unintuitive - you don't think that unintuitive error also happens when running only one instance, while having some other vram-hog programs open?

--disable-audio does not fix the stall. Perhaps it is not audio-related, in spite of stalling on "Loading sounds".

The context: When playing Factorio, I sometimes have a second instance of Factorio open, e.g. with creative mode to design blueprints. The bug: Sometimes when starting the second instance of Factorio (or sometimes when loading a map in the second instance), the second instance will freeze. Usually a...

ratchetfreak has it right. What if I don't want to connect those networks? I have never, ever wanted that. While I have been annoyed at power pole dragging not connecting networks *every* *single* *time*. If you have some insanely specific power setup that requires separate power networks, then simp...

I am actually a programmer. What I wrote was something I had already made sure could be implemented, basically using the existing logic.

I like my suggested implementation better.

No, it is not impossible to fix. I outlined in my post how to fix it.

When dragging autoplacing power poles to power stuff, you basically always want to connect to an existing power network. Example of the current logic being inconvenient: https://www.thuejk.dk/factorio_drag_power.flv However, the current power pole dragging will often detect that all entities (e.g. m...

Uhh, I don't have save files or anything to help you reproduce now, at this late date.
