I think this may be related to a problem I am having with my Superheating mod. The superheater takes input steam at 165 degrees and outputs at 465 at 60 units/sec, for 3.6 MW of heating

This worked in Factorio 1.1 but in 2.0 the superheater consumes 60 units of steam per second and only outputs 40 ...

You might want to start looking at the dates on these threads before replying.

Gah, completely forgot to check the fixed subfolder

In the latest version trees and rocks are marked for removal when pasting or placing blueprints, but not when placing individual entity ghosts

This is a good idea. The current design is a bad one - map and blueprint icons are not signals, they are icons, and as such should be allowed to select the full range of icons.

Maybe it's time to rethink that, then.

I'm aware there are two pickers, it just seems like maybe the map tag dialogue is using the wrong one for the icon

When adding a new tag, the icon picker uses the signal picker, meaning that recipes are not available for selection:

Compare that to the icon picker used for the tag label:

Is this an oversight or a deliberate choice? Being able ...

I've found a bug that results in the loss of items in "Balance out inventories" mode
Load the attached save game, and then immediately hold control and drag the held stack over the turrets, starting with the turret at top left (the only one with ammo).
To show the bug, you need to do this before the ...

Ah, yes, sorry for not wording that clearly. I was referring to the fluid consumption/output and not the burnable fuel.

Thank you for fixing it.

The attached (very unfinished) mod adds a boiler that takes 165°C steam as input and heats it to 465°C
Its energy source is a 3.6MW burner with 200% efficiency, so it consumes as much fuel as a normal boiler to raise the steam temperature by twice as much.

When testing in-game it produces 465°C ...

If you set a property on a recipe which has normal and expensive modes, that property does not apply to those modes.
For example, the following has no effect in-game except to show that the recipe has been modded:
data.raw.recipe["burner-mining-drill"].hidden = true
To actually hide the recipe ...

The mining drill status light glows white when the mine is working, with a larger radius than the other status lights.

According to the light settings in demo-mining-drill.lua the working light should be green:

This is a minor aesthetic concern, not a major bug.

The crater left after a nuke blast consistently looks like it's too far south compared to the blackened ground around it.
The centre of the crater floor is located at the nuke impact point but the crater has a visual illusion of depth, so the ...

There's no reason to increase the wire reach just because the chunk size is 32. It has no gameplay advantage of disadvantage to be 32 vs 30.

If nobody ever told you chunk size was 32x32 then you wouldn't even know it was a thing.

Just ignore the fact chunks exist and build as you want. It ...

I don't know about anyone else but I'l find it much more intuitive on item production/consumption graphs if both sides had the same vertical scale, so I could more easily visually compare the two.

Some kind of button between the graph panes to toggle displaying both of them at the same scale would ...

On a related note, anyone else not like the (new) uneven texture for concrete? (The old one looks smoother.)

The current bumpy concrete texture should really be used for brick flooring.

Not to mention concrete flooring in real life is just smooth. Just google "concrete flooring" if you don't ...

Oil refineries don't show backer names, and supports_backer_name() returns false when run against them in-game. However, the prototype for oil-refinery shows has_backer_name set to true

As per the prototype documentation, has_backer_name is a supported property of type assembling-machine, so either ...

Here's a better demonstration map: Fluid Crash Demo.zip
Here's a modified version of MMOTO that successfully loads without crashing: MMOTO_1.0.1.zip


The refinery is using the recipe advanced-oil-processing-mmoto-both
The chemical plant is using heavy-oil-cracking-mmoto-in

The zip of MMOTO 1.0 ...

I have a mod, MMOTO , which adds mirrored versions of oil processing and chemistry recipes. MMOTO modifies the base game oil and chemistry recipes, by finding all recipes with 2 or more fluid inputs, and explicitly setting the fluidbox_index on each input. It does the same with outputs. It then ...
