This was a false alarm due to my over-reading into that single/MP split in the users who could or couldn't confirm, I see now what I did wrong:

* When I tried both with and without the various gunner toggles enabled, I must have been clicking on ground tiles; I hadn't realized only an entity could ...

The way it works is fine, but the tooltip should still be updated to say 'remaining spoil time' instead of 'spoiled percentage'.

The `shoot selected` (default: shift+space) control does not work while driving a vehicle in remote view, UNLESS the save is or has been a multiplayer save (distinguishable by the presence of a `Weapons control` toggle in the vehicle GUI - in single player, only the `Auto targeting` section exists ...

My take (note the yellow belt between splitters). Forget if the extra passthrough splitters were necessary or if I just wanted it to be able to buffer if the output backs up.

After thinking about and playing around with this, I would propose something like the following formula for speed (in km/s, mass in tons, thrust in MN):


max_speed = 500 + 200_000 / (mass + 200) # +200 avoids low-mass asymptotic speed silliness.
drag_efficiency = thrust / sqrt(thrust^2 + 5000*mass ...

It's common knowledge that hardly bears repeating, but for completeness, note that cargo pod drops can target more than just the starting area via placing then deconstructing the landing pad / cargo bays.

Dropped cargo pods damage or kill any engineer caught underneath them.

However, if they land on top of enemies of any type, they do no damage.

It shocks me that such a game-breaking bug went unnoticed in one of the most obvious and intuitive methods for dealing with enemies.

Please rectify this ...

In Factoriopedia, biter eggs show the same damage effect as the biters they spoil into. As far as I know there's no way to take damage from the eggs themselves.

Relevant: viewtopic.php?t=131281 sounds like it solves the fluid side of this for 2.1.

Note: It sounds like this solves the fluid case of viewtopic.php?t=118708

It'd be nice/consistent if solids got a similar change to stay in the ingredients slot for compatible recipes.

Some examples under their proposal, where A-target is the target station, A-duplicate is a non-target station of the same name, and B is a station with a different name.


train ==== A-duplicate <disconnect> A-target | TARGET FULL
train ==== B <disconnect> A-target | NO PATH
train <disconnect> A ...

I think their precise request is not "figure out whether that was the intended station via mind-reading", it's "do not show No Path if another station of the same name exists that IS reachable", which is unambiguous and seems completely feasible if performance weren't a concern.

Now, calculating ...

This also gives more variety in how you get to high quality products. I already have to do upcycling a bunch of times, I don't see why that should have to be the solution in ALL cases. In return for having quality in crushers we get all this sweet extra complexity and interesting chains ...

I'd like to motion to appeal that decision, because at the end of the day there are two different behaviors happening:

The use case is a make-anything mall that includes multiple machine types, BOTH foundry and assembler. I prefer the mall to use the Foundry when possible, due to the prod bonus. So, for example, the mall might try to set a regular gear recipe on the Foundry, see the recipe successfully get set (by ...

What are the upsides of this as intended behaviour? To my understanding, the game largely tries to treat different qualities as different items in most aspects (e.g., requests don't do any magic generalizations ...

Cross-posting https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=127371 as I think this might be considered a bug not a feature quirk.

TL;DR set_recipe(foundry, uncommon_iron_gear) -> common_iron_gear recipe gets set, instead of no recipe like for other impossible items.

I think that a machine setting a ...

Upon further reflection, failing to set even when quality modules are present is more consistent, because any intentional-gambling setup would already have to set machine recipes to one quality tier lower than what they're gambling for - so any machine setting a different tier than they send would ...
