If you want to command actual units (such as biters or spitters) to move, use LuaEntity::set_command instead.

Since the research queue probably isn't really implemented to let each lab research something different, another option might be setting recipe to the lab via circuit. I'd be happy to automate the version which researches an agricultural science when I have it, and otherwise selects whatever other ...

Is the whole thing a loop? Belts can slow down/ stop if they're full in a loop. The sides are independent in this way.

People keep posting on reddit asking why their factories aren't making epic/lengendary items (e.g., https://old.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/1hbwvig/why_is_this_not_producing_any_epic_items_it/).

I think this issue can be fixed with a very minor tweak: Take the quality module research, and split ...

Should this get included separately in the patch notes? I've been checking them for this fix, and almost missed it.

This is still present in 2.0.18. Disabling the stack inserter, changing the stack size, and then re-enabling the inserter will cause it to re-evaluate if it's currently holding a full hand. It's also possible to convince it to re-evaluate by changing the filters.

A selector combinator will fix this, but also agreed that that doesn't feel like it should be required.

I do not believe this is working as intended. Please see the attached screenshot:

As you can see, the UI still hints the user to confirm with E (by default).

This isn't a major bug, but thoughtfulness about whether removing the old functionality was ...

Yeah, seems like an oversight, because the UI still hints me to press E to confirm

1. Wire up something so you can enter a constant.
2. Enter some constant value, like 4.
3. Hover over the confirm button to check that (E) keybind is set for confirming.
4. Hit E.
5. Text field contains "4e" instead of being confirmed.

I feel like I've seen a Factorio freeze when leaving the menu open (paused) for a long time. Seems maybe unrelated, but I'll try to replicate again. Only issue is the last time this happened I didn't see anything in the logs.

So they actually send expansion parties from one nest to an empty area. If you catch them trying to make a nest, you can kill the expansion party before it settles

I'm currently playing a 100x research cost play through. I'm really happy that these are separate smaller techs in this case because I'll be running a manual train network for a while while the automated rails tech researches. For basic vanilla, I think it's nice to be able to build a train while ...

I think a pretty simple and elegant solution here is to add a wait condition that enables the expected behavior that trains do not skip to the next item in the schedule

A train stacker would also achieve your desired goal, having a loaded train (technically a buffer) ready in some sort of depot ...

TL;DR
A train stop condition that waits for the next stop to be enabled.


What ?
Current wait condition list is: Timed passed, Inactivity, Full cargo, Empty cargo, Item count, Fluid count, Circuit condition, Passenger present, Passenger not present.

The suggestion would be to add another one ...
