Oh, that makes complete sense now. I was in the editor building all kinds of BPs and I didn't have quality (or any of the other normal stuff) researched - it threw me off since I was already able to pick any item or quality. It's still a little unintuitive, but the editor is already so different ...

Tested version: 2.0.32 (build 81349 expansion, mac-arm64, standalone)

When creating a new upgrade planner, some entities that have tiers/variants (chests, inserters, belts, power poles, train signals, possibly more) will force the player to choose from a list of alternatives that excludes the ...

Unfortunately I cannot confirm this as fully fixed in 2.0.32, as there seems to be an edge case.

I'm not exactly sure how I arrived there, but the steps were roughly:

Small logistic network (4 storage chests filled with random junk, only ~150 logistic bots, no construction bots)
Right-clicked a ...

Also does anyone know better way to update the headless server than re-downloading it and unpacking it manually every time? Auto updater would be a +

Look into Docker, or more specifically: https://github.com/factoriotools/factorio-docker

I'm not sure what's the current story with running x86_64 ...

Dragging and dropping a blueprint file into the game window will import the file contents as a blueprint string.

Nice! This is going to be good for managing expansive BP book collections specific to each modpack (SE, K2, BZ, any combination of these, I3, etc). So when you hop into a modded game ...

I would like to report the user PODOLCHAK.

They attempted to deconstruct all of Nauvis (twice - first time we cancelled the decon before finding out who tried it).

I do not have the save/server logs as I do not have shell access.

As someone who's had to deal with several griefers yesterday: YES for better "damage control" tools for server admins.

We had four admins in-game, but the only person with shell access to the box was unavailable, so we were faced with repairing significant damage and no means to revert. We probably ...

Dang I swear I've looked for a related report!

But I guess the problem is now much more prominent with auto-trash and remote everything.

Tested version: 2.0.20 (build 80511 expansion, mac-arm64, standalone)
Mods: base, elevated-rails, quality, space-age

Setup: get two spidertrons with roboports, construction robots, and some power source; set up one to request some building materials (belts, inserters, chests, etc) and another with ...

Nauvis : IMO this would make clearing the biter nests for future capture waaaayyy too easy. Currently probably the best strategy is to creep up with some power lines & laser turrets filtered for biters/spitters, take out the worms by rocket, and build a pattern of walls/pipes around each nest to ...

The point would be to stop producing the science packs in the first place. Which in itself is difficult. Since there is no ground to orbit and interplanetary communications I have to send uncommon wood from Nauvis to Gleba to stop science and an uncommon wooden chest to start science.


You can ...

No-one designs his factory to be a pain in the ass to reboot or cold-boot.

No-one designs their factory to be attacked by biters either. Nobody is telling you how to play the game. Any% speedrunners disable pollution spread, because it's allowed. You can change spoilage rate too.

Except with freshness you do not want to put science packs on the belt that aren't needed. They would just spoil.


They start spoiling before they even become science packs, you can't stop spoilage, and you can't read spoilage% with a circuit. So where and how you keep them doesn't change it ...

I understand raw ressources are infinite on Gleba, but this approach ( "burn it all ") generate extra pollution , because spore are created when the trees are cut or at least "per tree".

No, the pollution (spores) output with this strategy is constant; what happens when you limit fruit production ...

I would like to voice my support for this idea.

Some of this data could be obtained in a different manner, e.g. reading the belt/chest contents allows estimating how many science packs ...

Adding my voice here, just saying that this would be a fantastic feature.

I can picture some interesting new use cases in Space Age, specifically:

- Controlling priority by circuit could allow gradual spillover, e.g. to avoid having too much spoilable cargo rotting on a dead-end belt (Gleba ...

Restarting a late-game K2 base is also a major PITA - during a blackout you need 500MW to feed each fusion reactor, but you also need a tiny bit of power to run the offshore pumps to the backup nuclear reactor, hopefully you kept a stock of nuclear cells outside of your logistics network, etc. If ...

In my opinion (I'm a random software dev), if you're unsure, don't bother with the distinction and just try to provide as much context for your problem as you're able to. Any kind of issue (bug or support) is still an issue, if you don't have the expertise to file it accordingly, leave it to the ...

I remember running into this kind of issue for the first time when I was a kid messing with screen resolutions in Windows 95. In my opinion, some or all of these would be good solutions:
