This might be a variation of https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=696061 but it presents differently.... so with that in mind...

Setup: a platform that moves carrying items, and a platform that doesn't move acting as an orbital buffer. The buffer platform carries many different types of ...

It started off with "I need to change the planet for many requests, I will put the planet on my cursor to quickly fill things in and just start clicking the requests... wait, what just happened?"

No, it's not actually requesting the items from the planets nor is it preventing departure conditions ...

Nearest I can tell, if you can put it into your cursor, you can set a request for that on a space platform. That includes fluids, planets, and anything in the "Virtual Signals" list.

Build a space platform. Place ghosts that cannot be built. Use an upgrade planner to convert those ghosts into something else (I went with Epic Accumulators => Normal Accumulators).

Expected behaviour: platform requests the new item (normal accumulators)

Actual behaviour: new ghosts are not ...

The same behaviour can be seen deconstructing terrain that yields multiple items, such as the huge rocks on Nauvis that produce both stone and coal. The stone is collected immediately and the coal is left on the ground to be picked up by other robots. Space Age provides additional examples. So I ...

Able to reproduce on Linux in English. Copy the text to your clipboard, paste into the combinator edit box, highlight the text in the box, and then re-paste. That should do it.

I'm gonna argue this one. Players have an expectation that personal roboport construction robots can only take from their main inventory. A precedent for this is that they can't take items out of your trash slots. Taking items out of your armor slot, or weapons or ammo slots, seems wrong. Those are ...

Based on a chat in Discord just recently, this may also apply to people trying to convert from Vanilla to space age in the same save. It's discouraged, but it also reduces the rocket part requirement from 100 to 50 which could set this off without needing "mods".

Add more modules to the platform. The 2 you have aren't reserved. If you fill it up with modules it still won't insert them. In my recording I made several AM2 requesting modules... like, 3 or 4 or them. None got modules. The moment I deconstruct the upgrade-pending AM2 all of them suddenly get ...

Attached savegame with replay for reference. Some fumbling of the controls by me at the start.

Process:

1) Make a space platform. Send it Assembling Machine2 and some modules to be inserted.
2) Build the assembling machine on the platform with modules
3) Make a blueprint for an Assembling Machine ...

This is an interaction of 2 odd facts.

1) When creating a ghost train stop, it doesn't have a name set. Normally this would be impossible as train stations can't have blank names set, but on creation the ghost station has no name until actually built.

2) When a train is heading to a temporary ...

Based on the netstat output, I suspect that you're not fully draining the TCP buffer each cycle. Are you sure you've pulled as much data as you possibly can from curl before you move on to other game update code? That might help without impacting the code nearly as much, and provide a speed ...

I have a reproducer for Gleba. There was just a n upgrade of Artillery Shell Range and the turrets have been busy. Enemies are incoming. In the moments after loading the save enemies will attack, be killed, and leave red dots on the map as they do. Don't take any action other than opening the map ...

I would still prefer having both options... lock to straight lines but without the "smart" building is the sweet spot I like, and allows things like doing corners in map view from a long ways away that line up with targets.

I did this as well. It gave me my 10 starter foundations, which I can't use because they are Uncommon I can't place above-Normal tiles.

But the hub is still uncommon.

Smart building has issues. It can lead players to make undergrounds under nature (trees, rocks) which is totally unacceptable, especially when ghost building and there's the expectation that robots will take care of it.

It also makes fixing drawing mistakes more difficult since smart mode will tend ...

For context, I have fiber to the home at high speed (gigabit or so). But while inside factorio, downloads (eg: large mods, or game updates) are often self-throttling to about 3 megabytes/second. I know it could go faster because the TCP receive buffers are highly full when I check them:


tcp ...

Nope, this is happening during early initialization of libraries. With only the backtrace to work with, my gut says that Factorio is statically linked against libstdc++ but something dynamically linked is also using libstdc++ from your own system. There's a compatibility mismatch and it blows up ...

I suggested this to a dev recently as well.

There are a ton of ways this could go wrong though. In a game with mods, every possible mod concept (from an API standpoint) needs to be tested during Profile-generate mode. If not, it's possible PGO will think some specific feature is never ever used and ...

The super-short version is, my log files contain:


1.337 Info PlayerData.cpp:73: Local player-data.json unavailable
1.337 Info PlayerData.cpp:76: Cloud player-data.json available, timestamp 1671218050

... which is wrong for two reasons. First, I do have a local player-data.json. Second, I have ...
