Oh wow, I'm glad my build was of use in optimising! Amazing stuff as always devs

Well I fixed, that Shift+` would open the console while ` was bound to open the console, but an underlying problem (probably) still remains, I think that no controls should be triggered when a text field is focused, apart from Escape to get rid of the focus, so I'm leaving this open. Thanks HanziQ <3

I have found that wires are not carrying/connecting to inserters on blueprints. I have tested and it does seem to be working with chests, combinators etc.


Hopefully this gif will show what I mean:

I am trying to put a ~ symbol in front of some of my train stations since they will then show up at the bottom of the train list (it follows ASCII order, right?). However when I have the GUI open to name a station and hit ~ it opens the console. It is however possible to enter the ~ symbol into the ...

Hi, I wonder if anyone has noticed problems with the pathfinding and behaviour of Biters in recent versions? I keep seeing them massive bundles of units without actually attacking, like so: These huge clusters have been the way that attacks can occurr for quite a while now, I remember seeing simila...

I'm not sure why would you think that it's intended for biters to attack only the outpost. There is no "power pole protection act" coded anywhere in the biter AI. As described by Rseding91 biters behaved exactly as their AI dictates - so what happened is indeed intended behavior. In this ...

In this case it's intended behavior. When a biter (or group of biters) tries to path somewhere and one or more of them get stuck because something is in the way they attack it. In this case the electric pole is in the way and the only way forward (because biters are to the left, right, and behind) ...

There is no rule that forbids biter from doing that, you need to protect your stuff. NaB. I am aware that there is no rule, however simply saying "you need to protect your stuff" is rather ignorant to be honest. Are we meant to turret and wall entire train lines? Sorry but that isn't real...

Ran into an issue earlier today where a group of biters got stuck on a power pole when pathing to attack an outpost and as such they attacked the power pole. I understand that biters will attack objects (trees, rocks, etc) if they are in the way however as you can see in the GIF they shouldn't have ...

<3 wireless transmission using radars :D With regards to the train stuff this is something I would love to see expanded on. Version 0.13 added a lot in terms of setting up schedules and added many different conditions for leaving which really aided in controlling trains more effectively and efficien...

Found a strange error when blueprinting a particular intersection I had. I notice that it doesn't occur all the time, however I am thinking it might be related to the order in which the rail/signal is built and it not properly updating? See the gif below and notice the flashing signal that should wo...

Not a massive issue but this map seems to have generated with a circle around the player in the starting area, thought it worth reporting. http://i.imgur.com/zuTC3M6.png Map exchange string: >>>AAANAAoABgACBAYAAAAEAAAAY29hbAMDAwoAAABjb3BwZXItb3Jl AwMDCQAAAGNydWRlLW9pbAMDAwoAAABlbmVteS1iYXNlAwMDCAAAA...

I don't really like the miniaturisation to be honest, it seems like a whole lot of work to change something that I don't really think is broken. Area to build is one of the most free things in Factorio and honestly making something like this I believe is actually really awesome to look at in your ba...

I for one am all for the banning of griefers. It's quite simple - don't be a tool in people's games and you won't ever have to worry about this issue. In fact, unless you are worried about such a ban on yourself you should be thanking the devs for this stance as it keeps the community safe. This typ...

Just loaded the save and can confirm that both FPS and UPS drop. This is due to the enormous numbers of biters that have been aggro'd, by recharting the map and looking it appears as though many of the biters are 'stuck' in place. If you run this command: /c game.forces["enemy"].kill_all_u...

Mods are not kept in the SteamApps folder, instead they are kept in this directory: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Factorio\mods

Navigate to that folder and delete the appropriate mods and the game should load.

Unless I am reading this wrong you can already do what you're after, but you have to approach the problem in a different manner. Instead of having multiple networks running along a mainline just have a single network and when it reaches the outpost you branch it off there using power switches into y...

A few suggestions to improve mining drills: 1. I would love the ability to be able to set a filter in mining drills such that when they are placed over multiple resources the filter could be set to mine just that ore. It would work similar to filtered inserters and could possibly be set using the ci...

When connecting to a multiplayer game you are downloading the map from the host, not Steam or a Factorio server or anything. As such your download speed will be limited by both your connection but more importantly the hosts upload speed. Get the person hosting to run a speed test (www.speedtest.net)...
