I'm having an issue where I often see groups of wrigglers not moving or reacting in any way. I don't believe it is due to the entity being asleep due to distance as enemies further away are working fine and these are _very_ close to my structures. I took this screenshot. I don't really know how to ...

Quite a list! Keep up the awesome work!

Reworded one more time, hopefully it's clear now


The problem is that the subject doesn't address the cause, only a symptom. If a dev is skimming the active topics, it doesn't effectively describe what needs to change. If they're looking for possible things to work on, only mentioning a symptom ...

Such is life. Thank you for looking into it.

I also have a use for this. If you alter what's in the cursor in the on_pre_built event then what gets built will be altered, but I cannot control the direction. Right now I think I can work around it by putting a place holder simple entity item in the cursor then destroy the resulting entity in the ...

It's been said before that on_pre_built is intended to be called even when a build action doesn't happen, e.g. here: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=534859#p534859

With that in mind, please call this event before the fluid mixing check. It would allow me to take actions to prevent the ...

I'm worried the title of this thread will hide what people are really asking for. Can it be modified?

I've been trying to work things out entirely in game using Factoriopedia and experimentation as an exercise and for fun. Recently I was trying to work out what the energy content of 1 degree of heat is in entities that store heat; reactors, heat pipes, and heat exchangers for example.

Long story ...

Adding my voice to the chorus requesting ingredients re-use when changing recipes be re-added. See viewtopic.php?p=631964#p631964 for an example of a dynamic module blueprint that will become much more complex than it already is if it must constantly fish out circuits.

I found 117890 and the related viewtopic.php?t=118708. That answers my question. I'll join the chorus of folks asking that ingredients be re-used.

Thanks for the report. This is working as intended.


If I may be so bold as to ask the reasoning, and request it be re-evaluated?

Take for example this build:

I see your "Fun over Realism", and I raise you a "Simplicity over Fun".

I've noticed a trend as the weeks go by. More and more of my blueprints books are becoming worthless, replaced with paint by numbers mechanics. The fluid system wasn't interesting because of its realism. It was interesting ...

This is good. To the naysayers, you're never going to force "meta" players to stop optimizing the fun out of games. Any attempt to do so will eventually converge into a new meta with all the same complaints. This instead gives more options to players that want to target goals for their builds ...

I'm patiently awaiting the FFF that talks about circuit control being added to these.

Brilliant! Sound is so often overlooked in critical analysis, but it's so important. These are some great new capabilities, and they're used exceptionally well!

ngl still miss old belt sounds tho.

For example, if you disable a stop while a train is en-route, the train may very well be in a position where it can't path anywhere else (e.g. just turning the corner to arrive). This would cause the train to 'no path' while sticking out onto the mainline, causing chaos for the rest of the trains ...

I'm just looking on my phone, so I can't tell if that is a 60fps animation, but that reservation aside the new belts look like garbage. Really not a fan of the way they look, and I'm not sure what could be done about it. The changes to coloring seem to just add a shimmering that make it look like ...

I dunno, gonna be honest this is the first one that's had me kinda worried. Now a 2 wagon train can outperform 8 wagon trains. This feels like a very big move towards scale up rather than scale out, and scaling out has always been where Factorio's emergent complexity, the part that makes the game so ...

I would be, but sadly, 1.1.100 comes after 1.1.99.

The mechanic is optional, you can just disable it, don't whine!
Not really. Of course it's possible to disable it, but the game has to be balanced around it. Disabling it would be like building a megabase without using modules - technically possible, but significantly harder.


The game isn't ...
