What?
When hovering over a result when searching the map (chart), highlight that result on the map in some way (maybe make it blink continuously, or change color, or show a large map marker 📍).

Why?

When deciding on a new ore patch to expand to, I'd like to quickly see where they are in ...

You can still manually configure an upgrade planner to perform this upgrade if you want.

What I did:

Enter editor mode with /editor command
Under editor settings ensure "Instant upgrading" is checked
Create an upgrade planner that upgrades modules
Apply the upgrade planner to an entity


What happened:

Construction orders appeared for the modules (a red X over existing ...

I love it when people tell me I am not foolish! :-) But if "you cannot play Space Age without both keys", does that mean that the game's app on my computer, when it runs, somehow checks with WUBE that I have bought the right keys?

I'm not 100% sure how this is implemented, but I believe that the ...

Hi. I'm a fellow Mac player who doesn't use Steam.

This leaves me uncertain: should I have both app bundles in my Mac's Applications folder? Should I just have the factorio Space Age app bundle installed?

You don't need both applications; you can use only the Space Age bundle. The Space Age ...

For anyone who has tried it, does this resolves the issue with needing 2 clicks for setting each recipe after researching quality?

It does not.

FWIW that save also reproduces for me on my Mac on 2.0.17.

Thanks for the log. To be honest, it made even mind boggling, I thought you were playing on some obscure hardware or Linux with weird build of graphics driver. I did not expect Win 11 with RTX 4060 Ti 😅


Curiously I've also seen the exact same issue on my M3 Pro MacBook Pro. It doesn't do it 100 ...

Also, because this thread is currently the top result in Google for "Factorio add pin":

• In Factorio 2.0, the default control to add a pin for any entity or position is Alt + Right-click

Thank you for the explanation.

I did notice that when inserting onto Turbo splitters the output does end up being fully compressed. Turbo belts move 0.125 tiles per tick (versus express belts' 0.09375 tiles per tick), so it seems like there's some complexity with the order that things happen on ...

Hi, I noticed this difference between Factorio 1 and 2. I'm not sure whether this was an intentional change, or an unintentional side effect of some other change, and whether it's considered a bug or is intended to be the new behavior, but I thought I'd report it. Designs like these relied on the ...

I agree that it's difficult to search by (unmodified) keybinding for common letters like E or T since so many of the labels contain those letters.

I have a suggestion that I think could help significantly with minimal effort: implicitly prepend/append characters to the searched values for ...

Hover over the "Piercing rounds magazine" text or icon slightly higher up in the window, instead.

See "Assembler recipe info" in this FFF blog post: https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-426

My comment was a little ambiguous but I was referring specifically to the suggestion by mrvn that I quoted, not the entire thread — my reading of their comment and the FFF is that it will work exactly how they described, unless I misunderstood something.

Probably will just work the same way as stacks in boxes or assemblers – the whole stack would share an average spoil % value, as mentioned earlier in this thread.

But what about using the click&drag mode? Take a power pole in your hand, click on an existing power pole that has red or green wires and then drag. Instead of just placing the next pole in the right distance it should also connect red or green wires same as the original pole had. But only with the ...

I also have an interest in compact train stations for a project where I'm attempting to make a dense base. I made my own two-wide unloading station for it. It has a few additional advantages:


2 buffer chests per side of wagon, for twice-as-fast unloading
Can be scaled down to red belts and ...

This doesn't apply to rotations made by hand using the R key, as that is easy to correct yourself and could spam up the undo queue.

It's easy to undo if it's the most recent action, but when you're undoing a series of multiple recent actions (like 10+), having manual rotations omitted is more ...
