In this map view

I can indeed not spot a rocket silo. But I can spot a landing pad.


You can spot a silo by choosing to view recipe icons in map view (because a silo makes rocket parts, which is a recipe).

A landing pad does not have a recipe associated with it, so that setting does ...

You're just reinforcing my idea/suggestion by describing another convoluted way to find it. Why can I just not *see* it in map view (is my idea)?

TL;DR
I'd like to be able to see the cargo landing pads more easily in map view


What?
I suggest adding an icon in map view. There's one for the silos, why not landing pads too.

Why?
Why not?
It improves game map navigation, and avoids my workaround, having to tag/pin and clutter the right ...

You're right. The turret was placed on an orangey biome area, and I hadn't noticed the 'donut' coverage meant that the turret was too close.

This is NOT a bug.

When I place a rocket turret within range of spawners, set filters to only target biter and spitter spawners, then supply it with capture rockets, it does not fire the capture rockets.

Does it work with Production module upgrades? I thought I had removed that a long time ago!

This mod is not compatible with factorio 2.0. I am considering whether to make it so, but first I want to try the built in recycling machines that ship with the new version of the game. There may be no need for this mod going fowards if all it does is ape the vanilla machines.

The vanilla machines ...

Incompatible with Warptorio:

Error while running setup for recipe prototype: "dry411srev-warptorio-armor" (recipe): Recipe Item-production "power-amrmor-mk-2" is not stackable but has max count of 5


No idea why I wasn't notified of this. Thanks. Will log it on Github and investigate as I ...

Is this mod still alive?
I don't see updates for more than 3 years.
Well, i get game crashes frequently when friends sending messages to me on Steam chat and macOS. No idea about Windows OSes.
This happens when i enable this mod.


It's not been amended for 3 years because there are no bugs ...

I'm loving these QoL improvements for trains.

If the GUI is being reviewed and amended, can I ask please that you do something about the '+Add station' button so that it does not disappear off the bottom of the window and require scrolling to be able to use it if a train has more than 21 lines of ...

Could my random thought above be eliminated as the cause. In the more than 7 years I've been playing factorio, I've never seen it happen before,

Random thought. Could the signal on the same grid position as one of the gates be significant?

Interesting. The 'Wall D' stop on that screenshot is disabled by a circuit. Does that make a difference to pathing?

Could it be that there was an empty train traveling from North to South (or South to North) and in the last moment it decided to turn West where it would collide with a not yet opened gate?


The gate that was destroyed was the entrance entering the outpost travelling West (trains are RHD).
It ...

Interesting discussion.

Just to say that I have no mods installed that increase train speed, acceleration or braking. Full braking distance research has been completed. The only train going through the gate would be an empty 1-4 train, presumably slowing down, as it is very near the pickup station ...

astroshak wrote: Sun Mar 03, 2024 6:51 pm You sure that is a missing gate and not a missing wall?

As for why it is missing, I have absolutely no idea.

Yep it's the gate. The rail signal prevented me putting the double wall in which is why there is only 1 at the top of the pic.

It's nowhere near the borders/chokepoints I should add

After hundreds of hours where I have pushed biters back dozens of chunks away, and sealed the chokepoints, I've suddenly lost a gate tile. I have not been anywhere near this area for (I estimate) over 100 hours. The map is 280 hours old.

What could cause this? Can trains sometimes hit them ...

Just read the FFF today. Yay! Consider this idea/suggestuon withdrawn

Adding new stations to the bottom is probably more intuitive. But the "add" button could be always visible at the bottom so no scrolling is needed.

Personally I'm not sure if I use the add button more than just shift/ctrl clicking on the map to add stations. But then again I use LTN so most train ...
