Licensing restrictions prevent me from shipping a scaled down version of the sprites in question.

I would like to be able to set a scaling factor for a Sprite (or RotatedSprite) that is applied when the file is loaded rather than at render time. My use case here is to write a small mod that applies to a larger mod and causes that larger mod to load all its graphics at half (or less) resolution, ...

Could we please move the discussion of racism and terrorism to viewforum.php?f=27 ?

There's some partially outdated info on the wiki that might help with writing a launcher script and doing some directory rearrangement to come closer to compliance: https://wiki.factorio.com/Application_directory#Changing_the_user_data_directory What I think would be possible would be to move ~/.fac...

I'd like to be able to present a multi-series line graph in a mod gui, like the built-in graphs for production and electricity. I imagine this would involve a new LuaGuiElement type, and a new method for updating the graph data. data = { foo={5,5,5,7,5,6,6,6,8}, bar={1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3}, } graph = so...

While I am sure the Factorio devs will look into this, no program should be able to do that. That it can means there's an OS bug. You should probably report this to MS, too.

"crates" is also a good search term

If you make a 30x30 blueprint and put an absolute grid reference point in it, then you replace the blueprint contents with a 40x40 selection, the reference point will still be in the same position relative to the top left (?) corner. I'd like to propose that this behavior change in a few specific si...

Place the top row first. You don't have to hit R to get everything to go in the same direction.

Then place the bottom row. If you don't hit R, the belts go the opposite direction of the undergrounds.

When I read an unread message the notification goes away.

When I accept a collaboration invitation, the notification stays and I have to manually clear my notifications.

This seems like an oversight.

I'd love to be able to copy and paste between entities whose settings could be usefully mapped to each other. For example, a constant combinator and a filter inserter, copying one way would set filters to match the [first 5] signals, the other would set signals (=1?) to match the filters. Things wit...

My assumption here is that the warehouses usually won't be very much out of balance. If the rest of your factory is appropriately balanced, adjacent containers will only ever be off by a few based on leftovers, rounding, random products, timing, etc. 26/sec is plenty if you're putting 1000/sec into ...

If you swap the bottom combinator and inserter then you get more flexibility on power pole placement, but it makes the circuit harder to follow visually.

In the blueprint editor the "Components" section shows how many of each type of entity are in the blueprint. You can right click to omit them from the blueprint, or left click to restore omitted things. When you do this, the list re-sorts so that the highest counts are at the top and lowest at the b...

That's also what I do, except it doesn't work with modded entities that have on_built scripts that aren't compatible with /editor

I'd love to be able to rotate a whole row of things by just dragging the mouse across them instead of having to pause and hit R on each one.

If I place something pointing south (belt, inserter, etc) then switch to another item for placement my cursor still has the new item pointing south. So far so good, and this is expected in almost every case. Where I would propose a sole exception is for underground belts. If my cursor is directed so...

The last line in my factorio-current.log is "Info AppManager.cpp:298: Saving to _autosave1 (blocking)." with nothing in the minute prior. The _autosave1.zip file was not touched, its timestamp is still 15 minutes in the past. About two minutes earlier, steam crashed with the below stack trace in a c...

I, too, want this, but this would make me even more annoyed that filter splitters aren't locked behind filter inserter technology. Ever since splitter settings were introduced I have thought they were available too early and made early game base layout much simpler than it should be and was before t...
