[...] Because it points to a problem, that two systems are so tightly connected to each other, that they are one big system. As far as I can see from @kovarex article, they still have a nice separation and layering. They just don't want to go for "true" unit testing due to overhead, proba...

it's not a straightforward change. the architecture is quite different. The main issue is not getting factorio to run on an arm, but to support it and to have interoperability between arm and x86 builds. I have no clue about building for mac, but in a linux/gcc world, building for arm is as simple ...

This would make all ores effectively infinite due to mining productivity producing extras each mine-place loop. If you want infinite ores without moving miners around, just mod in recipes like 1 iron-ore -> 1 iron-ore or use one of the infinite ore mods that makes ore patches behave like oil. Or try...

If this gets implemented, the key combination should work for all on/off switches. I.e. not only power switches, but also constant combinators and trains. Since both ctrl-mouse and R are already used with some entities, so how about alt-mouse or ctrl-r?

Hm, yeah, it would be a nice feature if the devs have nothing to do. 8-) I just open a tab with that mod to remind me. It’s a mess. But Chrome has now a nice new feature to group tabs which enables me to open even more. :) Sounds like the feature we used to have in Iceweasel (a now-obsolete fork of...

Each != Any, obviously ;) The "each" suggestion would solve OP's problem, since, if I understood OP correctly, there would only be one signal on the wire. But the same can already be accomplished by adding an arithmetic "each + 0 -> S" (or any other virtual signal) between the de...

You can see how many trains are currently approaching a station by looking at the "Train limit" line of the entity information.

You probably need to force all inserters to pick the same item every swing. Given all assemblers have the same amount of ingredients loaded, they should do that on their own, except for the swing where a wagon gets emptied of an item type. Some ideas: a) If you happen to know which item the inserter...

As splitters work right now, their item filter is absolute, so it makes no sense to combine filtered output and output priorities. However, this can be done in 3 splitters: First, one for the priority, then, on the overflow output, one for filtering U235, and finally one for merging non-U235 back on...

Including colored dots showing the corresponding aspect won't help colorblind players I am no expert here, but writing "red" or "green" is probably even less helpful for a colorblind person than showing the colorblind person the same color as the chain signal shows and a descrip...

Essentially (but not tooltip friendly): Red - no available route past this signal Yellow - caution, slow down and stop at the next signal Green - all clear, go go go Blue - some routes are available (but it might not be yours) Yellow - all clear, go go go Green - no train approaching Signal colors ...

Arithmetic combinators can do exponentiation, so for the case of each*each you can use each^2 instead.

It's so nice to see all discussing the new version, but when does the internal updater deliver it? Full download takes 8 hrs from here, so not an option :( Can't be so hard to make a diff from 1.0 to 1.1 files and put it into a zip file, does it? See the first page of this thread. There was an issu...

There's a way to get rid of all of these "New tips", right, and I'm just not seeing it? I'm not going to be clicking every single one of these things I've known for five years away one by one for the rest of the month, am I? it's hilarious but both of our games are broken in the same way ...

What about chain signal signs? As far as I remember they are not even controllable for some reason... "Chain signals have no state" apparently. Which makes me feel like chain signals are implemented as an entirely different thing than signals, instead of signals with an extra feature. If ...

Lets assume those signs would be literally a rail signals "with one feature added" for the ease of implementation. Pathfinder has to look into signal state anyway when searching path so adding extra features to rail signals is the least intrusive way to add logic into rails. Would be comp...

Another FFF before lunch. Do we need to send help?

Great work.

I think what @Boskid alludes to, is that having locos contribute traction in both directions firstly implies that any loco can then travel in both directions autonomously. This then brings pathing issues - which way should a train path to arrive at a station? If it arrives backwards, then the cargo...

Things with circuit logic that can't run event-based (most of them): the circuit logic never sleeps. Setting active=false doesn't do anything for it. Can you elaborate why the circuit logic can't be sleep? For all vanilla circuit entities, the result they compute can only change when their input ch...
