i think this post from anti might be relevant

I've never used foundation simply because by the time I've unlocked it, I've more or less completed the game.


This is my main issue with it. You have to build your Vulcanus and Fulgora base before you have foundation, which means that by the time you have foundation you don't need it because ...

Worth noting something for the people reading this that there is a long and still ongoing „debate“ / talk / whatever going on in the steelaxe dc. Not sure if we want to / are allowed to link to it or move the entire discussion on here.

A couple thoughts from glancing over it:

- You keep talking about "mathematically cover[ing] all possible scenarios"—have you done any sort of fuzzing or enumeration or are you at the "this covers everything we can think of so far" stage right now?
- I'm a bit confused by your definition of ...

Never heard of ‘em. :-) That is the problem with tribal knowledge - only some people know it. If you have Code access, then why ask the people in the Forums who do not?

It sounds like an interesting idea - but so far it is Just an Idea. I don’t quite understand what is wrong with Smart Belt ...

You are aware that Factorio is not an open-source project, right? There is simply nowhere to submit a Pull Request if you’re not an Employee of Wube Software.

I cannot tell if this is a joke. Good Luck!

Funnily, i just tried to change the title, which coincided with a moderators edit. My edit would have said:
[2.0.50] smart belt bug #0005 splitter and smart rotate results in unexpected ug compared to when turning into a belt

The moderator one, however is more concise

just to clarify: you have seen that there is an attached video? if so, i assume it is just not sufficient? i just want to make sure.

as you havent gotten a reply yet: this is a duplicate of my report viewtopic.php?t=128845

here you can see it in action.
pppppp / blipi is the tech used. it stands for "pantabos performant power pole placement plan / belt lock interupt placment interpolation" which speedrunners use. the recently added feature has the effect that when switching ...

I assume that the issue arises when you have both a railgun and another entity in the same blueprint. It is probably not worth adding an extra check or whatever to make it possible to rotate a bluprint which only contains a railgun

What is still required to approach this bug?

The "bug" i see happening here is the difference in the underground when you attempt to make a corner in the belt.
When you run into a belt (or as far as i can tell any other obstacle) you still place an underground, which results in the sideload you can see in the video above.
This is different ...

It was requested by speedrunners to automate some checks on uploaded speedrun save files with replay data. I guess they will be using it to automate some checks...


Thats correct. We want to automate it and most importantly make it easier / possible to run the replay from a headless server.

i really would like to know how exactly this is a duplicate

this is the last for now, i will go back to the others, i realised they are lacking some info.

should be fixed now

okay, something screwed my post.

TL;DR
When a gate is open, they should not get damaged by a rail gun shot.


What?
Currently, there is no good reason to use gates on space ships, especially when using rail guns. similar on the planets.
Maybe even partially opened gates could be missed by rail guns?


Why?
There is currently ...
