Bots cannot launch from chests - when there, they are no different from any other item. If you want them to launch and do stuff, you'll need an inserter from the chest into a roboport. (Can use wires to only insert if the number of free robots in the network is low btw, I tend to do this.) You can ...

How is this a bug? It doesn't look bad, just different to the other one.

It may even be intentional, so the inserter doesn't have to move as much to get future items on the corner belt.

Actually, I did just have an annoyance on gleba: to unlock the biochamber you need to make 50 nutrients, but by the time I got all the other resources for the biochamber, my nutrients had all spoiled... (thus what I did to unlock the trigger tech was entirely a waste) Moreover, there's absolutely no...

I don't understand the "bug" here. Are you annoyed that the quality bonus you added to the module scales with quality? Because that's intentional I think (negative quality bonuses however don't scale?). If you don't like this, you'll have to post a suggestion in https://forums.factorio.com...

Bassically, you can place a platform tile below a thruster if it is at least 93 tiles below the top of the thruster: Screenshot 2024-12-07 161030.png As you can see in the above image, the red area prohibiting platform tiles from being placed under the thruster is only 88 tiles high. This means you ...

This is the most minor of issues, but basically this: Screenshot 2024-12-07 125621.png It disappears if I zoom in or out. Edit: after walking around with the same zoom level, I also found a sunycomb: Screenshot 2024-12-07 130334.png And a Hairy Clubnub Screenshot 2024-12-07 130350.png There are seve...

I haven't tested it, but I doubt you could put a thruster there, as it requires no tiles behind it. For example you can easily create a platform with the shape of an "F", but you won't be able to put thrusters at the bottom of the top bar. You can put a thruster there if you just leave en...

But yes, I totally agree with you, and I'm never quite sure what construct or build mean.

I think the situation used to be worse, see https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-265

I'm guessing this is intended or a minor issue. It still requires you to expend resources to build a solid platform, so you can't save platform tiles by blueprinting swiss cheese. Sure, but you can make your platform lighter, and hence faster (though probably not much faster) If you can have a hole...

You should be able to get your modules back by putting ghosts of them back into the spidertron, and the bots will put them back (you can look at the contents of your logistics network if you've forgotten what modules you had).

Not a bug: 119965

You need to either use a blueprint or ctrl-c when deploying the spidertron using q however will clear the equipment grid.

Oh you meant in game, not on the release notes.
Fair enough.

I use steam, and that shows how much it's downloading, but only after it starts.

Could you, instead of stating that updating can take long, show how much MB its to download? I believe that will depend on what version you are updating from, it will be less the newer your current version, and most for a fresh install. Oh and of course, it will be smaller if you haven't bought spa...

If you are not using the stuff the trigger gives you, why do you go out of your way to get it already? Just let it rest until you are ready to engage with it? Well other research has it as a prerequisite, so your factory could be siting idle instead of doing research because you haven't unlocked th...

My suggestion is, landmines in space destroy all landmines in a certain radius and those landmines will not deal damage. So using landmine as a last resort is still acceptable, but abusing them in large scale will not be practical. This feels like it could also work if the design was "Landmine...

Watching this thread like a hawk hoping it lands in "Not a Bug," it's genuinely a cool feature for people intending it, and allows for some rebellious creativity. Maybe the only true bug is that the hole cannot be closed once opened, and might necessitate a new tile-building rule, "i...

I read a bunch of posts here associating recycling productivity with re-cycling of items. The research is called scrap recycling productivity though and exclusively affects the scrap recycling recipe. No, that's not the problem. The problem is this: if you have say a +400% recycling productivity on...

Yes, the pentapods lulling you into a false sense of security is very duplicitous indeed.

I was consistently noticing this, but then I restarted the game, and can't reproduce it.
Strange. It only shows up for a split second so not too much of a bug, but someone may see such an alert and not realise it was from another planet and then end up looking for the problem in the wrong place.
