I just wanted to report the same bug and stumbled upon this thread, so i add what i found here.

Setup:

1x Biochamber (QL 5 / Legendary)
12x Beacons (QL 5)
16x Speed mods 3 (QL 5)
8x Efficiency mods 3 (QL 5)
4x Productivity mods 3 (QL 5)

Resulting properties:

Production speed: 74.15 (+1383 ...

This is absolutely great! I love it!

The "keep revelead" counter made me think about something. What if there would be a building decreasing it? That means we could have a kind of "jammers" that prevent revealing certain areas of the map from enemy factions. :>
Every faction would have to have its ...

Re: Faster construction robot tasks
Why don't you take the "nearest roboport for that chunk" instead of "... for that job"? That way it's a tiny bit inaccurate, but it doesn't really matter a lot and you could cache that roboport for every chunk, updated whenever a new roboport is built. So there ...

Something that just came to my mind. Maybe you can rename the different force modes, so their names better fit their functions.
"Force Mode" => "Ignore environment/terrain"
"Super Force Mode" => "Ignore buildings" or "Ignore everything"

I just wanted to say i love you. Marry me. Both of you. <3
Just kidding, i love you all at Wube, you are just awesome.
You just published one of my most-wanted features of all time!

Re: Mitigation for robot pathing over lakes

Over the past few years, I have had some thoughts of my own about this, which I would like to share:

Initially:
- The robot should anticipate, if it is able to fly to its target with full speed.
-> if it is not able to do so, go for strategy A.
-> If ...

Hey guys,

I'm about to buy a new computer, so i have free choice of my next CPU and i wondered what is the best CPU available for a maximum UPS in Factorio?
Is it a i9-12900K (provides 24 threads) ? Or even a Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5995WX (provides 128 threads) ? The secondary question here is how ...

I would really love to have this. Never counting cars by hand again.

TL;DR
Make a new entry "Read free inventory slots" under "Circuit connection" and return this as a multiple of letter "F".

What ?
When building train bases it's a common example, that you fill some boxes with ressources (like ores) by train, then smelt it, and ...

I just finished a land-only version for you land-fill haters :P

I just double-checked your blueprint again and it still doesn't start at night.
Tbh i don't see the point in building it that way. Why don't you simply use a power-oneway to a seperated and buffered circuitry for the inserters?

At least for my linear reactor chain it would be way more feasible to ...

I was just about to suggest something similar, so +1 on this.

Alright, the other suggestion got posted over a year ago. So i guess you wont implement it.
But still, you guys do a d**n good job and i love factorio. <3

TL;DR
Convert terrain next to water tiles into "beach" tiles and let that beach tiles be minable, which converts them into water.

Also look at my other suggestion, which is strongly related to this one. I splitted the topics to keep the board/thread structure tidy. ;)

TL;DR
Let biters overcome water like ants do. One biter sacrifices itself to "bridge" a water tile and others can walk over its back like over regular terrain.

In this screenshot https://forums.factorio.com/download/file.php?id=63990 every single reactor has it's own load control + some indication lights + backup power in the inner circle


Ok, do you have some blueprint you could send me? Then i try to adapt it to my reactor.

I need that frequently when i plan the rough concept of a new base/build/whatever, so being able to move tags around would be a fantastic tool for me.

I always color all of my trains like this:
https://i.ibb.co/0c0ZD9R/train1.png
(R=0, G=128, B=255)

But after some time of playing/saving/loading, almost all of my trains are colored like this:
https://i.ibb.co/Cvk3MPC/train2.png
(R=255, G=128, B=0)

without me changing any colors of course. I ...

No no, haha. The user will be able to choose between energy_sources, i doubt someone is able to do so in 60 FPS. Besides that, i only check for changes per tick and update/replace when needed, not every tick. But i think it's easier for me to split buildings in parts and every part has its own ...

Yeah i see, so Prototypes and LuaEntities are similar to classes and instances (in like C# or similar).

The workaround i could imagine would be defining "custom"-properties, which are then forced to be added to those changable properties inside the created Entities itself. If thats possible, i ...
