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 assembli...

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 opinion, c...

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 for rare...

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 ...

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 mor...

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 prov...

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 completely, and ...

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 priority?

Can we display a circuit network value in the message? Say something like a pattern, "Iron plates: {}" where the hole "{}" is replaced with the actual number in the circuit network. Would be very handy, especially when space is limited. Displaying a number on the screen itself al...

I love the ever changing message at the end of FFF posts telling us where to show our thoughts.

That intersection is so complex, I can't help but wonder why is it devoid of any trains.

It's interesting to see how the planet artwork has evolved since initial Space Age FFF. http://cdn.factorio.com/assets/img/blog/fff-373-technology-graph-smaller.png So which of the three initially available planets shall we visit first? (To be fair we have yet to see what business will the engineer ...

Why is alt mode showing the modules "inside" the beacons now?

Doesn't "global statistics" imply statistics over a globe, or in other words a planet? I thought that was odd when I was reading the "all the production statistics were global" line because global outside the context of programming is... kind of bounded in scope. Especially when ...
