[What i did was saving it to a text file using visual studio code since thats my default text editor and i know it doesnt auto correct anything. so im confused how a non modified factorio string straight from the game can generate an error.


Yeah that's weird, I can't explain that. I f don't ...

It looks like you're trying to import a blueprint with a non-ascii character in it, it's complaining that the 9615'th character is not a valid ascii character ('\u2265' is apparently a non-ascii greater-than-equals character - ref ).

Factorio blueprints are all base64 encoded. Base64 encodes ...

Map positions are 32-bit fixed point numbers with 8 bits for the fractional part, so the smallest representable distance in Factorio is 1/256 of a tile. I don't know the specifics of how rounding and collision detection are implemented, but it makes sense that the "radius" of the bounding box ...

Landmine alignment
Landmines are one of the few entities that don't align to the 1x1 meter grid (the others being locomotives and cargo/fluid/artillery wagons).

This can be a pain if you're trying to create a complex defensive pattern with landmines and dragon's teeth. Here's a post I found that ...

Sounds good, hopefully my workaround has enough info to help anyone else who hits this.

Just to confirm: I do have a workaround that works for me.

I attached xev output for failure and for my workaround.

I tried playing with xmodmap, I couldn't get the escape/ctrl swap to work. I guess my workaround is specific to remapping capslock to control, not generic to remapping capslock.

I have a similar problem but with CapsLock/control and somehow it turns out there are two different ways to remap capslock to ctrl and one way works and one doesn't. I think it depends on if the capslock key is also explicitly unmapped from performing the capslock function or just implicitly by ...

Similar to 106031 but I see this in 1.1.87 and maybe not precisely the same.

I remap CapsLock to ctrl in linux using gnome-tweaks version 42.beta

Failure:
When I enable gnome-tweaks setting "Keyboard & Mouse"->"Additional Layout Options"->"Caps Lock behavior"->"Make Caps Lock an additional Ctrl ...
