[0.17.31] Underground belt placement causes existing belts to disappear

I'm running Factorio 0.17.31 (build 44471, win64, steam). Here's the setup: 2019-04-16-belt-disappear-bug.png Mine the west underground belt, then put it down one tile to the right. The two belt tiles with fast inserters on them disappear, and so do the fast inserters! I attached a replay as well, b...

Re: Friday Facts #129 - The late game

A friend of mine thinks that all resources should be like oil -- instead of having a finite number and running out, a mine just gets slower and slower over time. For example you could rename the resource's "starting value" as "richness", then each ore deposit has a depletion mult...

Re: Friday Facts #115 - The power switch

I work at a place that uses an in-house C++ library to re-implement or wrap stdlib and Boost functionality. The original reason for creating the library was to speed compilation times. I wouldn't recommend going down this route. A custom replacement is harder to learn for new developers, because Boo...

[0.11.19] [kovarex] Number of needed resources sometimes wrong

Take a look at this screenshot (you may need to scroll to the right): bug-pu-display.png The crafting tooltip claims I have 0/40 processing units, but I have 100 in my inventory. When I add the final ingredient (5x speed module 3), the tooltip becomes correct. I'm running unmodded Factorio 0.11.19 o...

[0.10.5] Ore loaded into empty furnace disappears

In 0.10.5, the first piece of iron ore loaded into an empty stone furnace disappears! (It reappears as finished iron if the furnace is fueled.) I guess the game is smelting it without first checking if the furnace was ever fueled...

Re: [0.10.4][kovarex] "No room to place building for enemy e

I think not. I have construction bots only, never used logistic bots (I have a few in inventory but never deployed them).

EDIT: Also, loading the save file crashes within about 2 seconds for me, every time. No need to wait so long!

[0.10.4][kovarex] "No room to place building for enemy exp"

I have a save file produces a segmentation fault, sometimes (but not always) with the message "No room to place building for enemy expansion".

Here is the file -- http://162.243.74.108/sf6.zip

This has been played entirely in version 0.10.4 (build 10492, linux64) on 64-bit Linux.

Re: Friday Facts #37

Why not make the replay a zip file including the mods currently in use? Restricting a replay to the version that created it is fine for now, especially since it's still early days for the game and the replay feature. But if you get to a point where a lot of the changes are simply number tweaks for b...

I have some coal in a chest, and pressed Alt which, among other things, shows chest content. The coal icon is extremely difficult to see when zoomed out. The previous version had a frame filled with a gray background color behind the icon. This provides good contrast and allows you to see the conten...

Re: [0.9.2] Installer behaves badly when files are modified

You should be able to reproduce this by installing 0.9.1 (Linux 64-bit), inserting the line in the thread I linked above into entities.lua, and then attempting to update to 0.9.2. The update will be unsuccessful, and if you run the game again, it will fail to start.

You can do this indirectly: Process your excess oil into solid fuel and use it to power steam engines.
