Re: Py Question : Calling upon the Factorio Lords...

"Py" in the context of Factorio suggests Pyanodon's mods so it's probably a good idea to rename this topic. (I'm also not sure it belongs in Technical help, but that's something for the moderators to deal with.) I think your approach can't work because Factorio doesn't seem to use stdin/st...

Re: Spidertron "Shift+Left Click" pathing queue impacted by autosave

So clicks are queued, but releasing shift isn't queued? I'm sure I've come across input APIs where modifier keys generate no events so must be tested when the event (eg mouse button down) is processed, which sounds like may be the case in Factorio. In any case I've seen the same effect in numerous ...

Re: Yellow Science - Raw Requirements

I understand the process you describe but I'm not sure why you would first calculate the crude oil requirements from the heavy oil, then calculate the Petro from that crude oil and then find the crude oil for the remaining balance at the .975 ratio. As Khagan wrote, it's usually the case that petro...

Re: Yellow Science - Raw Requirements

Petroleum: 101 2/3 Heavy oil: 5 This is correct. PE = (.85 + .125(1-X/25)) CO This is also correct, but tells you how much petroleum gas you can get per crude oil when you use X heavy oil per AOP craft , which isn't what you want to calculate. Not a general approach but in this case, you can calcul...

+1 for getting examples of the new blueprint formatting before release.
Agreed, but a spec is worth an infinity of example blueprints.

Re: Player Logistics

I would like to propose a new way to deal with the player's logistical requests. Could an identical copy of the crafting window be made? where each item would appear as it is investigated and would be set to (0 - infinity) by default. The catch is that the crafting window shows things you can (poss...

Re: [1.1.104] Priority Splitter producing gaps with full input

You seem to expect that splitters move items from the left lane to the right lane, if the left lane isn't full and the right lane is. I think you have misunderstood. The unexpected behaviour is that the right lane of the splitter's right input has no gaps, but the right lane of its prioritised (lef...

Re: Print resistances of all enemy types

There's also --dump-data (see Command line parameters ). Definitely useful in general, but dumping all of data.raw seems a bit excessive in this particular case where the OP is interested only in one particular property of a subset of the game's prototypes. I agree it is overkill, but the output wi...

Potential drawback: Mods that modify resistances in data-final-fixes.lua after your mod is done could falsify your results.
Instrument mode allows an instrument-after-data.lua that is guaranteed to run last.

There's also --dump-data (see Command line parameters).

Re: Computer freezes when playing Factorio

And any game is a program, and since it's a program, it can cause hangups, burnouts, and anything in the computer, you don't have to tell me it's just a game they can't do it, it sounds stupid. Some games burn computers to embers.!!! No; insufficient cooling aside (and sometimes even in that case) ...

Re: [1.1.101] Gap showing up out of nowhere on compressed belt

This is unfortunately how extremely long transport belts end up working. The game can only merge so many in a row before it hits the internal limit and splits the lines. When they get split the game tries to update the 'front' line first but that doesn't always work. You can work around this by for...

Re: [1.1.103]Reselecting rail blueprint shifts global grid position, persists after cancelling edit

Re-selecting the content of some rail blueprints shifts the global grid set in the blueprint by 2 tiles (can be X, Y, or both). This change even persists when cancelling the edit via ESC or the [X] button in the blueprint editor window. The second part is a duplicate of [0.18.38] "Select new c...

Re: Blue Science Crafting Time

Crafting time per science pack of Blue/Chemical Science packs are out of order compared to the rest. Just cut the craft time in half to make it in-line with the rest.

I don’t, I assumed it was a simple one-time glitch and reloaded before checking which cleared the log.
I rather doubt it helps now but the previous log is also retained (factorio-previous.log). I think you've provided all you can and will have to see what the devs make of it.

Re: [1.1.101] Crashed after save, corrupted save AND all auto-saves

I take it you don't have the log from the first crash (during or just after saving)? Do all the autosaves produce the same stack trace? The simplest explanation I can think of is that the in-memory game state was corrupted before the oldest autosave, in a way that only shows up on load, and the firs...
