Awesome, thank you everyone.

It used to be that Factorio was just a ZIP file that you'd unzip wherever, so you could have multiple versions installed.

Now, the installer uninstalls the previous version.

How do I install multiple versions?

I need to install multiple versions for a few reasons:

- The Nintendo Switch version ...

TL;DR
A shortcut key for dropping / inserting 10 items at a time.

What ?
The Z key (by default) currently drops / inserts 1 item at a time. I'd like an additional shortcut for doing this with 10 items at a time.

I don't know (or really have much of a preference for) what the default key ...

Can we please have this? Please?

I mean, it's been a suggestion for 10 years and it's such a reasonable feature to have...

I still think an in-game touchscreen button to access the main menu would be a useful addition regardless, and it'd mostly solve the issue as a bonus side effect.

Craters (like from cliff explosives) are drawn on top of the gravel/railroad ties on train tracks.

I'm assuming they should be underneath everything.

A button to sort the load game dialog by most recently played would be stellar.

Why is the production graph interface still a nightmare?

There's some good ideas in this thread, if I do say so myself.

I feel like that UI has been around long enough that it deserves a little bit of love, the buttons are fast-moving targets and it's been an issue for many years now, since at ...

I filed this issue on the phpBB bug tracker but they told me to post it here , which seems silly but...

Sounds good. Rotate works so it seems reasonable for flip to work, too.

When joining a multiplayer game, if ESC is pressed during "catching up", it brings up the game menu. If "quit game" is selected, it hangs the game. Eventually the game quits, I think maybe after "catching up" finishes anyways? But while it's hung like this, the menu stays on screen and can't be ...

does hitting escape cancel it? haven't tried but feels like it should


Omgomgomg!

Excitement.....
Testing.....
ESC cancels "connecting"? Yup. Sweet.
ESC cancels "downloading"? Holy crap, yup.
ESC cancels "catching up"? Yu... well, it tries to.

So first of all: Oh wow thank you so much for ...

The flip command does not affect hazard concrete's orientation.

Steps:
1. Put a hazard concrete ghost in hand (such as a single piece, or a paste/bp containing one or more hazard concretes)
2. Use the flip command

Expected: Hazard concrete pattern flipped left-to-right i.e. reversed, rotated ...

When joining a multiplayer game, it would be nice if there were a "cancel" button on both the "downloading map" and "catching up" progress dialogs, so you don't have to force terminate the process if a map is unreasonably huge or catching up isn't working out for you.

Not much more to say about ...

No there's no balance reason for it. It's similar to crafting things that have intermediate items and canceling crafting half way through. It doesn't give back the raw materials but instead the intermediate products already created. Except in the rocket silo case there is no intermediate product ...

Thanks.

Before I make a feature request: Is there a specific balance-related reason for that?

When picking up a rocket silo, if it contains any rocket parts (i.e. > 0% complete), the rocket parts are lost.

Steps:
1. Create a rocket silo
2. Let it create some parts up to N%
3. Pick up the rocket silo

Expected: N rocket parts transferred to inventory.

Actual: 0 rocket parts transferred to ...

I would like a checkbox in the blueprint grid configuration, perhaps underneath the absolute/relative radio buttons that, when enabled, forced placement to be corner-to-corner on the grid instead of edge-to-edge; i.e. forced diagonal placement of the blueprint.

This would make the grid useful for ...

It would be amazing if there were some way to draw a rectangle in the blueprint editor to add/remove items from the blueprint in the entire rectangle at once.

Currently if there's a group of objects you want to add/remove, you have to click each one individually or "paint" them by dragging the ...
