Re: Friday Facts #408 - Statistics improvements, Linux adventures
I would pay gobs and gobs of money if production stats were made available via an HTTP endpoint that could be scraped by Prometheus in the vanilla game. The in-game stuff is great, but not very flexible in the ways that something like Grafana can be. We can't "drill down" into stats from ...

[1.1.105] Entire range of belt flipping direction unexpectedly while dragging
This is a clip of the issue taking place in a completely vanilla setting in version 1.1.105. I've encountered plenty of smart belt issues in the past, but I've never seen this one. Clip: https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx76ZuTf1PRMXANNSwIjCllahkT7SoGmnU?feature=shared I've attached a replay section of th...

The UI should have the same number of hotbars as a replay
TL;DR If I have my normal UI set to show only 2 hotbars and start playing a replay where the player had 4 hotbars, I will only see the first 2 hotbars. I'd like to see all 4 temporarily while playing the replay. What ? Kinda the same as the tl;dr. If my normal UI is set to show just 2 hotbars and I...

Re: Concrete is a silly feature... and I want more!
I want concrete removed from the game. It is completely useless, a pain to make and at this point little more than a meme. Concrete is essential for the rocket silo, centrifuges and nuclear reactors, where it makes complete sense. What would substitute? We are "lucky" that the base game, ...

Re: [1.1.103] Updating from 1.1.102 (build 62103) results in a 16-bit executable?
Wonder if the game actually works with 16 bit wordsize. How did it even compile to that actually? That's not what happened here. What happened is that an erroneous update package replaced the executable with a diff file, which the system doesn't recognize and cannot run. It only calls it a 16-bit a...

Re: [1.1.103] Updating from 1.1.102 (build 62103) results in a 16-bit executable?
I would like to apologize for the continued problems with the update packages. The 1.1.103 update package has been pulled until it is fixed to cover the cases of updating from every release. In case you were affected by this problem I'm sorry but you will have to download a new full release of 1.1....

[1.1.103] Updating from 1.1.102 (build 62103) results in a 16-bit executable?
I updated one of my Factorio instances to 1.1.103 today and after the update, (64-bit) Windows 10 is telling me that the executable is 16-bit. I attached a screenshot of the error message. There's nothing relevant in the Factorio log, but the sanitized version is attached, nonetheless. Some more det...

Re: Friday Facts #391 - 2023 recap
Starting with 2.0, we will ship the game with multiple built-in mods I, for one, welcome the new mod features. I hope there's a toggle for "base game" (no mods) and "base game + space age" since there's going to be the "1.1+ experience" and the "2.0+ experience&qu...

[1.1.82] Fluid Abnormalities Fueling Failed Speedrun
First off: I know this is for an old version, but Bilka suggested that posting the bug with a replay could be "interesting" (What I'm saying is, blame Bilka :D ). The problem is as follows: During this 100% speedrun, from June 9th, 2023, I had to fail the run because there was a severe pro...

Re: Friday Facts #388 - Smaller things for 2.0
Cliff explosives are not unlocked from the start of the game, and with the expansion they are even more delayed. To avoid nonsensical marking of cliffs for deconstruction when you force build on top of them, we changed it so that the cliffs are only marked for deconstruction once the cliff explosiv...

Re: Friday Facts #384 - Combinators 2.0
An alternate point of view to the combinator UI elements appearing "out of nowhere" is that the behaviour of UI elements appearing only when needed keeps the combinator UI from becoming overly cluttered.

Re: Friday Facts #383 - Super force building
This is amazing!!! Does this FFF imply in-place upgrading of entities as well? Such as super force blueprinting red belt over over yellow belt causes it to be upgrade planned? Or does it (effectively) deconstruct and then reprint red belt? The former sort of seems like a reasonable consequence of th...

Re: Friday Facts #381 - Space Platforms
These graphics look AMAZING!!! Can't we have the expansion now?? :( I am curious about a couple of things: Thing the first: Will the space platforms' primary use of solar panels invalidate the steam all the way achievement? I guess this depends on the victory condition for the game. If, like today, ...

Re: The big question: Are you going to try v2?
Absolutely. If I could preorder today I would.
Will I speedrun it? I don't know. I mainly speedrun 100% so if the achievements aren't doable in one run, or add many hours more, I'll stay with 1.x 100%. If my team adopts 2.0 for multiplayer, I'll definitely speedrun it with the team.

Is no one going to mention the combinator-looking thing being put into a red chest?
I, for one, welcome our new rail overlords! Remember, folks, you can download older versions of Factorio so you can keep onto your older saves once they become unsupported.

For completeness sake, how should technologies that have multiple pre-requisites be handled? Take blue science, for example, which depends on sulfur and red circuits.

Re: Friday Facts #376 - Research and Technology
From a game design point of view I don't think I like the implementation of research triggers for oil because I don't think it makes sense for the engineer to know how to make a pumpjack but not know how to use the oil. In my opinion keeping oil behind lab-based research makes more logical sense. I ...
