Re: Version 2.1.7


Thanks for the amazing work, the new features and QoL are great.

I have one small suggestion, the underground pipes can now be connected to the circuit network but underground belts still cannot. I would really appreciate the ability to connect underground belts to circuit networks, it would help ...

Re: Version 2.1.7



You can’t do that. You need to delete the current files if you intend to use the zip version in the same folder as simply extracting the zip does not remove any of the old files that should be deleted.


I understand the design with moving the quality mod and all, but it's the first thing lazy ...

Re: Friday Facts #440 - 2.1 plan



All these months of work, and not a single mention of 2.1 fixing the absolutely broken and atrocious interplanetary logistics. If that turns out to be true, that is quite... disappointing.

After thousands of hours of playing Factorio, more than one and a half years after the SA release, I still ...

Re: Version 2.0.24

According to the discussions in this thread, it would probably be the cleanest solution to just remove mines from being available on platforms.

This thread is about Processing Units, not items that are not part of the rocket part recipe ;)

There is actually a mod for this now:

I really hope this gets fixed with 2.1, automatically fulfilling requests is not really feasible in the endgame due to the volume and speed that rockets need to be launches with, ignoring the huge drone FPS ...

Re: [Kovarex] [2.0.10] "Read stopped train" signal gets used by "Send to train" in circuit condition interrupts


Hello, this is a generic problem in more than this place.
We have an internal proposal to make it configurable almost everywhere from/to which wire you read/write. So you could output to red and read from green for example.

But this is not a trivial change, and because of all the other work we ...

Re: LTN like system in vanilla 2.0 (Pull-Push with no loaded train with nowhere to go)

I would recommend to centralize the logic using radars. I have all the logic at a central point that processes the data from all stations.
With radars now all having the same network independent of the distance as long as they are on the same ground (planet), you can even add a self powered radar ...

Re: Add 2 outputs to Decider Combinator

This would help avoiding at least one additional combinator.
Especially now with setting recipes, you have a condition and want to output one recipe, but if the condition changes, another. Afaik this is currently not possible with only one combinator.

Re: [2.0.14] Inserting onto splitter no longer saturates both output belts

I also have a lot of builds relying on the mechanic to fill two lanes at once. This is also still the case on green splitters. If green splitters are still bugged, I think they should also get fixed or (my preferred solution) introduce the feature (not a bug ;)) back into the other splitters.

Re: [2.0.20] Blueprint library window recenters every time another book is opened

Thanks for the info! This would be really helpful, especially if you have a wider monitor and like some order in your windows and have a huge blueprint library to maintain.
Any plans to support saving window positions or are there too many edge cases with overlapping windows, windows off the screen ...
