I agree that construction bots should prioritize blueprints over storage when deconstructing something. For your other issue I find it even more annoying when the box fill my character's inventory and then hover around my character waiting for me to empty my inventory, […] Construction bots from a l...

This could be very helpful for switching from Transporter Belts to Fast or Express Transporter Belts, or upgrading Assemblers (& belts) in a production line. That's an upgrade planner . Placing a purple-blueprint over a patch of trees and having the trees auto removed before buildings placed wo...

As I happen to have the modpack in question, just for comparison, the loading times on my computer: Greg's modpack: 379.779 Loading sounds... (mod loading has finished) 410.756 Factorio initialised (main menu shown) Vanilla: 4.206 Loading sounds... 16.268 Factorio initialised I'd agree that this is ...

How about separating zero and unpresent signals from each other? But I'd like if a distinction between "signal is zero" and "signal is not present" were added. Most entities would continue to work as now - Outputting a signal results in that signal being present - Reading a signa...

Fixed that disabling friendly fire prevented fish from healing. There has GOT to be a great story behind how this happened. How does friendly fire interact with regeneration. Does it somehow break the regeneration timer or something? That's somewhat obvious: Fish deals damage to yourself, negative ...

I find the best solution to put an option in the settings menu. The option would be cumbersome to use as you might need to toggle it for every other train. Maybe the best solution is a compromise. If the train is in manual mode when you control-click to create a temp station, then the train tempora...

"emissions_per_tick_per_watt" and "pollution_absorption_per_second ". Why ticks and seconds within the same context? And what if the update rate drops below 60 ticks/second? I can say the same about any in-game mention of seconds. For example, recipe times or mining speed. A fac...

Its not "normal" a CDN is normal used to give the user a ip near their location to improve speed and responsivness. This round robin is just used to spread the load across different servers, which can work better, or worser. It probably also doenst count on the current load of the servers...

(I dont get what they have done) Nothing special, that's just normal DNS operation. Each time your computer needs to look up an IP for dcdn.factorio.com it gets them in a random order and then picks the first one to connect to. (It would try the other ones in order if it failed to connect to the pr...

0.17.9 + 0.0.1 is not 0.18.0, it's 0.17.10. Same for 0.17.99->0.17.100, and onward forever. The max value for each version is 65535, So technically after 0.17.65535, we really have no choice but to make it 0.18.0 (Or maybe it would overflow back to 0.17.0) from a just crytography/computer POV one c...

But I'd like if a distinction between "signal is zero" and "signal is not present" were added. Most entities would continue to work as now - Outputting a signal results in that signal being present - Reading a signal that isn't present is treated as zero For arithmetic (mainly t...

The ingame updater happens to do just that.
If you are using the steam version the ingame updater is probably disabled however as steam takes care of the updating and the devs might be limited in their options there

And.. If the value of a variable is zero, still show it. Loosing any sign of a variable just because its zero makes debugging circuit networks really tough! The thing is...every value is zero, unless it's not. If you hover over a power pole, and it says there are 53 Electronic Circuits and nothing ...

How do waypoints interact with the circuit network? Are train id and contents available on the tick the train passes through the waypoint?

[...] First: that's dumb. At least have two or three passwords, distributed among accounts based on how much you care about what they're protecting. Sensible advice, but laziness and/or ignorance usually wins. Second: if this is something they implement, there might be some better way to do it than...

"Breaks" in the sense of detecing >4 when on full throughput for as long as the two splitted belts have not been emptied, so for about 2 seconds, after that the normal full belt throughput will again be split into 2* 1/2 full belt and detected as 2* 4 items on the belt Those bits can't em...

There's a simple fix to prevent the bots being stuck in a loop: Remember the last roboport the bot left/charged at, and whenever the bot needs to charge only allow roboports that are closer to the target than the last one. Once the bot has reached it's target allow all roboports again. Keeps the bot...

If a signal set red only by circuit signal really outputs a red signal back onto the circuit network, I would suggest this is changed as that's really not a useful behaviour.

A signal blocked by circuit condition outputs nothing.

Actually, the train following you is the one that can (and will) stop in time, even if you stop instantly. The problem is trains crossing or joining your path, as these have a signal already reserved by them (yellow) turn red. A solution could be to handle the manual train similar to an automatic tr...

Aslo if the server is set to auto-pause when no-one is connected, then I agree it shouldn't un-pause until the first player to connect actually finishes downloading the map. I would go one step further: Even if the server doesn't auto-pause, it should pause while the first (and only the first) play...
