Haha, yes, I had, and it's glorious.

Oh, interesting! I think that might just be it, at least for the chest portion (not sure this handles the rail portion, but maybe, and I'll play with that separately, and post again if it doesn't).

Well, I guess maybe consider it a feature request:

Have it respond to mouseDown, on the premise that ...

Hi there,

Writing today to report an issue I've long had (I'm not quite sure how long... I think since well before 1.x even? Certainly in 1.x, and now also in 2.x), but wasn't sure wasn't just my computer... until today, when I saw it happen to someone else on a video of them playing:

https://www ...

Had another system crash (not your problem) after an hour or two spent on Gleba. I guess I have to leave and come back to (again) get that achievement now? (In point of fact, I have a save from before then, so I was able to get it again. It just strikes me as strange that I can be on the planet ...

If a higher-tier or higher-quality module has either just been requested via upgrade planner, or, more importantly, was requested a long while ago but is not yet available, the current indication shows an "X" over the existing module, with some vague hint (but that's hard to see without looking ...

Oof, I feel for you! I've been having my own frustrations with lost achievements under different circumstances, and I thought I'd see if others were having similar problems...

I'm just a player, so big grain of salt here, but based on my own experiences looking at how the achievements file seems to ...

I was just thinking about this, and I think I will actually make the argument for why this should be considered a bug, or at the very least a moderately serious user experience issue. Here's why:

As a user, when I "save" my progress (especially explicitly, but even with autosave) in something (in ...

Haha, ok. Arguable, but fair enough.

oops, I seem to have posted this on "Not a bug"? Not what I intended... can it be moved? Should I re-post? Is it fine? Other?

Hi Wube!

I've been loving Factorio 2.0; thanks for all that's in it!

That said, there's one problem that's been plaguing me, and... I guess it's time I report it:

In the event of a system crash (or 'kill -9' on Factorio, or similar), which I unfortunately sometimes have on this system (for ...

The idea:

It occurs to me that it would be nice if dragging underground pipes (or underground belts, for that matter! More below) could be a bit more like dragging belt, where if you press 'R' while dragging (or whatever key is bound to rotating), a nice bend will be created that's all connected ...

What's going on:

So, I'm playing along, and every once in a while, the left side of my screen changes from something like this:

before_save.png

To something like this:

during_save.png

My reaction/thoughts:

This happens quickly enough that it took me while to realize what was going on ...

Ah, cool. Was about to report this (specifically, that the in-game-UI preview and the command-line preview differed), but I guess I can wait less than 2 weeks for the new version to come out with the fix already done. Yay, fixed!

(I hope y'all don't mind a few little cheers here and there, on an ...

question/request: can super-force-building be set to also upgrade things in place? e.g. replace a wooden chest with a storage chest filtered for wood, replace an assembly 2 with an assembly 3 with more modules, that sort of thing?

I'm hyped for this feature either way, but it'd be extra double-plus ...

I'd just like to add my voice in support of this request, though my reasons are perhaps more frivolous... I've got a domain that's punycode for an emoji, and I'd like to be able to host games at [ some letters or a short word ].[ my emoji domain ].

Looking at tcpdump, the game does appear to ...

Thanks for the report and the assistance in digging into this. It looks like it is related to the async-saving and should be fixed for the next release thanks to Genhis.


Excellent, thanks Rseding!

And indeed, if I set non-blocking-saving=false (or start from a fresh slate where it hasn't ever ...

JSON requires control codes (U+0000 - U+001f) to be escaped, all your "\uXXXX" are the result of that.

OK, so that explains _some_ of the encoding (though, I would think one would also want to encode things like the 0xEE that you'll see below (the character before the two characters "4X" (0x34 ...

When launching factorio recently, after some single-player-mode play in my prior session, I was greeted with this error:

Window title: Data error
Text content: Failed to load the player data file. Campaign progress might be lost.
(screenshot attached.)

There's also this error in the factorio ...

As for remapping modifier keys; if you swap keys (eg. you swap Ctrl and Caps Lock) it should work, if you map some non-modifier key as extra modifier (eg. you map Caps Lock as the third Control), it won't work.


I'm glad I found this tidbit! Thanks for this info, posila. I'd mapped things to ...
