TL;DR Coordinate Spidertron's map icon colour with Spidertron's remote colour instead of default red outline. What ? The outline of Spidertron is always red, yet Spidertrons can be recoloured to match their remote control. I think their outline on the map should correspond with their remote control...

I like the concept of polluted water but that's a very rich green and my first thought is that it was a very healthy algae, thriving with life (this sounds like the opposite of polluted and uninhabitable but I did since read that algae can thrive on some chemicals pollutants), but I also thought the...

The snap-to-grid is going to make placing blueprints SO much easier and more enjoyable!

The (old) beacon to me is an extremely powerful machine, like a giant transformer or server farm (or both). It reminded me of the ending of The Chaos Engine, with a mass of pipes and wires and heavy duty components. The new beacon design does a great job of capturing the presence of electrical and c...

No recipe found for "spidertr", does this mean the search function doesn't do wildcards or partial words?

I know you got the Spidertrons hidden away back there

Just before 0.18 came out I was thinking how far the rest of the game had progressed, and how the audio could do with some overhauling... my favourite bit has been how the sounds are more audible when zoomed out, because I spend a lot of time like that and it was lonely in a silent environment. The ...

My spare PC has Factorio [0.17.54] installed via the zip package installed from the Factorio website (it has been updated several times throughout 0.17) and crashed either during update to [0.17.66], or when rebooting the game afterwards. It's not repeatable with exact conditions, since it is up to ...

There's only so many tips a brand new player can absorb right at the beginning, I find I understand them better when I have some context to apply them to in order to remember them, and I get the context through playing. So having tips spaced out as the game progresses would help, as technologies are...

To address the issue of heavy/light/petro backing up and blocking production, rather than scrapping basic oil production as we know it there could be a yellow flashing :!: at the bottom to indicate an issue, like when trains run out of fuel or robots have no free chests to deliver to. I got this ide...

Although I personally keep my rails straight and charge through cliffs and trees, having a modifier key to allow obstacle avoidance will be good for other players, and the game as a whole. Illuminating beams look great, when the first dark beams came out I was hoping illuminating beams would follow!...

I don't have enough steel or power but at least kitty likes the trains

With regards to copper wires merging with blueprints, depending on what you're building you may be able to get away with a blueprint that uses medium power poles on one side and substations on the other side, the power area covers all the buildings but they are too far apart to connect automatically...

What did you do? I tried to create a 3rd team in a PvP scenario in-game with commands * which did work according to a team-counting command ** , but it did not register on the Teams or Admin menu in the top left. Using commands to make a player join the team did also not work. *** Creating team * /...

Changing from Team 1 to Team 1 in PvP kills player. What did you do? While navigating the Admin menu in a PvP game I clicked on Change Team to see what teams were available as I had been trying to create a 3rd team. There was no 3rd team so I wanted to close the menu, but with no Cancel or Back but...

I can confirm your modified save works in 0.17.8 for me, glad we could get to the bottom of it and fix for the next release.

Many thanks to you and the team for the effort you've been putting in

I'm still getting a crash a few seconds after loading a PvP scenario from 0.16 in 0.17.7, either as a hosted multiplayer game or in singleplayer. To reproduce, load save file (Jimandy016a.zip) attached to first post, and LMB click Confirm when prompted about migrations. It then crashes, as seen in a...

Hi Klonan, save file is attached (Jimandy016a.zip)

When loading a PvP save from 0.16 I get a crash when rocket launch events happen, browsing options or starting round. I don't suppose it's the same as this, as mine crashes in 0.17.3 vanilla whilst loading a 0.16 vanilla save. This bug report is about mods in PvP: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtop...

I kept failing to complete the achievement in my previous runs where I focused on something else, so I started a new game to get that elusive achievement.

Then my brother had some suggestions for creative direction and things got interesting...

I hosted new multiplayer PvP Scenario in latest experimental [0.17.1], joined the first team and assigned it team "1", assigned the second team "2". I started game, and clicked on "Space Race" in the top left. It did not crash when I left it on the default "Last Si...
