Re: [2.0.72] Random flashing rectangles when decoratives are on

Okay, I repasted my CPU a week ago (nothing else was using thermal paste). And dusted it; there was more dust than I expected. The graphical glitches are still there (flashing rectangles as above, and I also found a video on Discord that looks fine on my phone, but not on my laptop), but hopefully ...

Re: Wider quickbar

In Factorio 2.1 there's a secret setting to increase the quickbar width. See https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comme ... bar_width/

Re: [2.0.72] Random flashing rectangles when decoratives are on

I do want to repaste (or thermal pad?) my CPU+GPU a bit further into the summer break. I disabled the fan control program I was previously using to delay the onset of the fans spinning up (probably dumb of me to use that, but I thought I kept it within safe limits), so I don't think it's of ...

Re: [2.0.72] Random flashing rectangles when decoratives are on

To follow up on this, I still get the flashing rectangles with that particular save if "show decoratives" is on, but I also (very rarely) see a flashing rectangle appear outside Factorio, even when just doing normal stuff with my laptop, so I think there's an issue with my graphics card, possibly ...

Re: Restore inserter-to-splitter item throughput to 1.1 speeds

For loading splitters/belts from mining drills, there is a workaround with circuit conditions:

Add a belt before the splitter (which is being loaded by the miner) and connect it to the miner. Set the belt to read all ...

Re: [2.0.73]Is normal blueprint library can't work in previous version ?

My advice is to never downgrade Factorio versions.

It happened to me as well, I used viewtopic.php?t=94427 to get my blueprints back (had to put everything in the same blueprint book though).

[2.0.72] Crash saving "FlowStatistics history max_size (4281479473) does not match expected size"

I was playing the game when it crashed while auto-saving. I have attached the autosave, previous autosave, dump, and log.

After Factorio crashed, I restarted it and continued playing from the previous autosave. I increased the autosave frequency from per 5 min to once per minute, but no further ...

[2.0.72] Random flashing rectangles when decoratives are on

Steps to reproduce:
1. Load the attached save file.
2. Make sure "show decoratives" is on.
3. Make sure you are underground.

What happens:
Small colored rectangles appear on the screen briefly at random positions. They continue flashing/blinking when the game is paused, and zooming out let's you ...

Re: Tier color-coding

Huh, makes sense that it is intentional. Different colors can also help to find things more quickly in the factory (assuming the player has played enough Factorio, and tends to use a consistent tier of buildings).

Also, as to thing X (refinery, train...) not having a higher tier, I like to think ...

Re: LuaCircuitNetwork.signals_changed

An event on_signals_changed is not the same as a readable value /attribute is_signals_changed, I thought this thread was about the latter.

I'm pretty sure this request won't change that. You'll still have to check the value of is_circuit_network_changed every tick, it's not an event.

Re: [2.0.55] Wildcards not syncing with cargo-types in train

One problem I see is that you use the any-fuel wildcard, but want it to react to the train's cargo. I don't think this will work (this was also mentioned in the other thread.).

Also, can you confirm that the triple-wildcard interrupt works if you don't use dynamic train stop limits or priority ...

Thanks for the reply. I found a workaround by editing the info.json so that one of the mods isn't loaded (insert extra semicolon somewhere).

I get the same error without using Docker, is there a way to solve this? I would like to keep multiple versions of the mod in the mod folder, like you can do with normal mods.

[2.0.72] Curved rail collides with belt

Minor issue, but the collision box for the new curved rail is offset to one side too much imo. Looking at the gravel, it seems like the underground belt should be fine there, and the edge on of the collision box below the rail is a lot closer to it than above.
