[1.0.0] Burner Mining Drill output position is inconsistant

A burner mining drill is inconsistent in different rotations as to what lane it will place its output onto when dropping onto an underground belt that is facing towards it. If the burner mining drill is facing north and the underground belt is facing towards it, the product from the drill will outpu...

Ultimate Factorio PAX Train

These are 2 saves where I have built the ultimate PAX train setup. It works by giving each station a unique code over a circuit network. When you send that code over the network, the station that it is equal to will receive that code, move a dummy train from blocking that station, and then the PAX t...

Your bots bring you this link to download Factorio 1.0: www.kovarex.com/download/Factorio-preal ... gns1RE.zip

I request nothing. I'll just get everything myself. Let's see those bots screw this up.

[0.15.18] Map shows incorrect position of turret range

So I am traveling quite a ways away to search for some big ore patches, and after some travel I discovered my map showed that some unexplored area of the map was within range of a turret. There were not any turrets that I had built out there so it must be some sort of visual bug. Interestingly this ...

Re: Friday Facts #191 - Gui improvements

I really like the changes to the toolbelt. I was a little skeptical reading the proposals, but the rationale backs it up and moves it more to a shortcut hotbar than the odd half-and-half that it currently is. I would recommend not having the shortcut buttons on the item slots, as it just adds too mu...

Re: Friday Facts #179 - New resource graphics & concrete

The new ores really look great, but will it make miner-placing more difficult because the boundaries of an ore-patch are harder to spot? One way I can envision making it easier and still keeping the pretty is, when you are holding a drill for placement, to tint ore-filled squares according to their...

Re: Shotgun Shells - explained

I'm going to have to agree with Xeanoa. 12 x 4 physical makes perfect sense to me. Would the alternate be written as 4 physical x 12? And by the AoE analogy, number of pellets should be written first because AoE is written second and describes the projectile similarly to how 4 physical is written se...

Re: [MOD 0.14] Text Plates

Another problem with using constant combinators is that render_layer = "floor" does not work properly. You can only change the render layer of decorative and simple-entity entities. See attached picture. This is another annoying problem that I had trouble with in the past when I was workin...

Re: [MOD 0.14] Text Plates

Why is the entity type for the letters a constant combinator? Wouldn't it be simpler for the entity to be a decorative or a doodad type? As far as I can see there is no reason to need to be able to click on the letters and see the constant combinator GUI.

[0.14.12] Gate and Rail causes a minimap inconsistency

When building a gate over a rail, the mini-map will display a different color depending if the gate or the rail was built first. The entity that you build first will be the color that shows up on the mini-map. On the left I built a rail first and built gates over it. I built them in the reverse orde...

Your bots bring you 7 flamer capsules (From Ten Industries)
You are standing just outside of the roboport's range so the bot just throws them to you.

I request my bots bring me some barrels of water so I can put out the fire.

I saw your question on my (madmaster5000's) tank gun mod page and for some reason couldn't post back. So here's your answer. The tank gun mod does not support all car types as ammo. The reason being is that a gun can only use an "ammo" type item as ammunition. The "tank" item tha...
