Inside blueprint parameter formulas: Give access to variables that correspond to the absolute coordinates of the placement location, and when dragging, the coordinates relative to the first location. (Or the coordinates of the first location which can be used to compute relative coordinates ...

I still think it would be beneficial to have achievements that specifically target the practice of "cranking up the numbers" in the world generator, by making playing with a specific preset the challenge. It would be interesting because players wouldn't be able to skip having to expand by making ...

If an item or fluid has multiple recipes, the additional recipes already get extra signals. So for selecting the correct recipe, the item's or fluid's signal itself can correspond to the default recipe, which is the recipe the item or fluid is merged with on Factoriopedia. The additional recipe ...

What?
The game should not auto-delete or auto-merge entries in the parameterization that have the Parameter checkbox checked, even if they are unused.
Essentially, please fix this bug.

Why?
Deleting or merging parameters is an inconsistency. If the player checks the parameter checkbox, it ...

TLDR: Elevated rails sometimes do not get built when undoing/redoing in editor with instant blueprint building (and deconstruction) enabled.

Steps to reproduce

In editor, enable instant blueprint building and deconstruction.
Place the following blueprint.

I second this. It would be really great if selector combinator had a [0,N) random option with N being an input signal or a constant. It could also support the Each wildcard giving one roll per input signal.

I do not think the behavior that the train always stays at the stop with the same name is any useful. I also tried to get it to leave by giving higher priority to the other stops, but that did not work either.

Expected behavior is as following:
When a train wants to depart for a stop with a given ...

What?
Assembing Machine's "Set recipe" should set recipe based on the highest valued positive valid signal .

Why?
Currently recipes are set based on "first valid signal" which can be counterintuitive sometimes. There is also little practical benefit to this system.

This assembling machine ...

List of in-game tracks that I think deserve a bit more love in the soundtrack:


Fulgora 1 (Don't tell me 3:30 is completely missing!!) :cry:
Fulgora 3 (Notable section: 5:18 - 7:00)
Vulcanus 7 (Really starts going at 3:00)
Gleba 6 (Notable section: 4:26 - 7:15)
Gleba 8 (Overall great in my ...

TLDR: When hovering a quality machine or module in the upgrade planner, the tooltip only shows the base machine stats and no quality effects.

Steps to reproduce:

Add a rare assembling machine 3 to a slot in an upgrade planner.
Observe the tooltip of what was just added.


Expected:
Tooltip is ...

What?
Make it so that space platform maximum item requests only drop the surplus items onto the planet specified in the "import from" box. In other words, the entirety of the filter, both the minimum and maximum should only be active while the platform is over that planet.
Why?
Currently if I ...

In this case you can fix the bug by rounding each randomly generated period to the nearest value with no more than 16 fractional bits.

If P is the number of times the asteroid does a 360° turn per tick then P*65536 (P << 16) should be an integer to prevent snapping. Which is the case if P has no ...

In the attached save file, all asteroids can be observed to "snap" their orientation after unpausing.

If the snapping is caused by a timer being reset or a modulus overflowing, it can be fixed by ensuring that asteroids rotate around an integer number of times between timer resets.

The Asteroid Collector in the attached image does not see the chunks as collectable, possibly because they are outside the navmesh. The expected behaviour would be that the chunks are collected because they are within range for the collector.

This can easily be reproduced in the editor with the ...

This is possibly related, or might even be the same bug:

While building asteroid collectors, the visualization for collection range also disappears when a collector goes off-screen.

TLDR: Asteroid collector arms become invisible when the collector itself is off screen, even if the arms are on screen.

Reproduction

Enter remote view and visit a moving space platform.
Center the camera on the top edge of a front-facing asteroid collector's collection area.
Zoom in ...

Why do you people care so much about chunks? You need to fit your base within 16 radar's range?

Thank you for such a great event. From now on after every FFF you should all imagine the applause of the crowd. It's deserved.

Took a peek at the first video, man those are some true boss fight vibes at the end there. I wonder if there is more.

I have to temper that joy though, because i am very disappointed by the inserter rework, i used to rely on this to create very intricate mechanism that would pick things up only if the belts were full and back up, and miss the item otherwise.


Isn't this use case covered by splitter output ...
