Not true. I think you could load up a 0.18 base and it'll work fine. Maybe even 0.17 (I think that's when they did the final changes to the science packs). Certainly I can load up a base I built on release (1.0) and everything will work. I have that base and I have continued in it without issue, so...

It'll break all current worlds. Even changes to the minor version (second set of numbers) for this game have always brought breaking changes with it, so frankly breaking changes with an update to the major version should be expected . They will increase the amount of Processing Units you need inste...

If you happen to have a second computer, you can try loading the save on that one, too, just as a way of determining if it's something up with your computer, install, or the save itself. Alternatively, post your save for someone else to download and test on their own computer. Anything further witho...

Oh, certainly. I've done it a number of times myself. But not having multiple items on the same line or making sure the opening and closing brackets are clearly visible to each other certainly helps. Examples: icon = sprite '3in1-item.png', icon_size = 64 -- vs icon = sprite '3in1-item.png', icon_si...

Could we rename the rocket weapons to missiles? Just to avoid confusion with space-launched rockets.

I'd almost advocate for the reverse, if we're talking the weapon itself (and not the ammo; the ammo is likely the same/shared between the two).

The only reasonable fix I see would probably be to make wagons and locomotives 7 tiles long, but I'm unable to evaluate the consequences of this This would actually swap which length trains experience the "issue". Currently, 1-X trains where X is an even number (so the whole train has an ...

I've always wished for target priorities in this game! --------------------------------------------- These rockets are searching towards their target. I see a lot of path finding going on, or does it just move towards its target? Doesnt this really slow down your UPS if you have a full wall rocket t...

Not to take away from the suggestions of better IDEs because, yeah, that certainly can point out things like that faster, but different formatting could've very quickly shown it at least wasn't actually brackets (or at least not in the way the compiler was saying), allowing you to concentrate your e...

So first, I want to note that picture does not show for me. This is probably a CDN issue. Have a look here for how to fix it: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=112882&p=607959#p607959 I use Firefox, though the instructions here appear to be mostly the same, but there is no &q...

I don't understand how you align the wagons? After all, the game itself determines the places for the construction of stations. Do you use any mods? No, no mods. It's just math. It doesn't matter though. We need to fix this flawed foundation! And I don't understand all the excuses about the odd and...

I'm on my phone... not gonna count it, sorry. But if you use something that does syntax highlighting, like Notepad++, that can help you out.

This does not "force" doing anything. You do not "have" to place 7, and doing so just cramps up your available space, anyway. IMO, does not need fixing. Come back to reality! https://i.ibb.co/CnV4JDJ/6560-240510-115837868.png So first, I want to note that picture does not show f...

Yup (although you could for dual track RHT ;)), but then you have folks asking for signals to be placeable right on the tracks instead of beside them, again pulling out the same pics as this OP did as justification. True. The ability to do it will likely build up to become its own precedence case w...

The cargo wagon has a direction as well and in your case it is not the same as the locomotive. It’s just far harder to see the direction because it looks close to the same. Yes, but the forward/backward controls do not reverse with the direction of the cargo wagon - forwards/backwards always behave...

Games are limited compared to real life. For example, this one can't just do arbitrary curvature radii (ie, let the player pick their own) for 2 reasons: Each curvature radius would require a set of entities to be made. The game can only allow a maximum of 3 path choices from any one junction (left,...
