Re: Entity IDs inconsistent when re-exporting same blueprint

Thanks for a quick reply.

I imagine I'm not the first person to try to track my blueprints like this. Does anyone have a solution?

I guess it would be possible to write a program that loops through the json, finds items and assigns new IDs based on their coordinate position (which will uniquely ...

Entity IDs inconsistent when re-exporting same blueprint

I'm trying to track my blueprints and update them as I make improvements (with version control such as git), but I've encountered a major problem: placing a blueprint and then exporting a blueprint based on that ghost, the entities inside it will have different ID numbers.

Re: [1.1.63] Low available space in Steam Remote Storage warning

I have the same problem.

Steam cloud is disabled since 3+ months.

Now playing factorio for a few weeks on a new laptop (1 month old) and got this warning yesterday for the first time.

Re: Simple Questions and Short Answers

Is it possible to see which fuel is currently being burned inside a train? For the tank and the car, it's indirectly showed by the acceleration speed percentage on the vehicle, being for example 100% or 180% or 250%. For trains there are some numbers too but not a simple percentage. I would prefer ...

Re: Why big output buffer in Furnaces?

You can avoid this with a simple circuit.

Set the transport band on the output side to read hold, and connect to the input inserter, and on the inserter set requirement that the output material (steel) be less than 1.

Then the inserter will only be active if there is no steel on the output side ...

Any settings to reduce battery usage on a laptop?

I'm playing factorio on a laptop which runs very hot, and when on battery it runs out really fast.

Browsing the web for comparison gives me at least 5 times more battery time than playing this game.

Are there any settings in the game I can change to improve battery life while playing? I imagine ...
