wouldn't that just make foundation completely useless?

+1 I know there is a toggle for it but I would like this too.

I see. I hadn't thought about that, thank you :)

I am on version 2.1.9 and I am encountering an occasional misbehaviour of platform-to-platform logistics.

If a platform has ever requested something for construction, it will make a request for that item. When it recieves the item it will zero out the request, but not clear it completely.

If ...

I like the newer, more dangerous asteroids.

Nauvis orbit now has a real advantage over other planets' orbits when it comes to building space platforms, whereas before space platforms in other orbits could easily shrug off damage with a few repair packs and spare parts.

It's still possible to set ...

I should preface this by saying I am a railworld player and I use fluid wagons simply because I like to see the trains moving around.

The current system with fluids, in my opinion, is good as far as the amount of CPU time it needs; I don't think going back to anything that isn't large-segment-based ...

Playing 2.1.9 I came across a nest outside of my base that is literally all worms. This may be normal behaviour but I thought it was very odd so I figured I would make a post just in case.

I have attached an image of it and my save. The base is to the west of my character.

there is an option for this that I always keep enabled in the f4 menu. "show-stock-positions-reverse"

What?
Higher quality undergrounds (belts and pipes) could have extended reach compared to their base variants.

Why?
There are currently not many things worth making quality variants of; machines are faster, power poles have extended reach, fuels have better stats for vehicles and now trains ...

I am throwing my voice into the pile here too to say that I like the way passthroughs work now, and that maybe input-only pipes could be changed to act in a similar way to make them consistent.

My favourite use of the new passthrough pipes thus far has been that you can limit a thruster's fuel ...

understood :) thanks for the explanation

I believe inserter rotation logic was changed recently; in situations where I would expect inserters to all rotate the same way they now do a kind of strange, back-and-forth dance, sometimes criss-crossing.

I'm not sure if this really counts as a bug in the strictest sense, but I think it looks ...

This happens to me, on windows, if I open a mod's webpage in my browser by clicking on the link ingame to do so (in the ingame mod browser, going to "source" or the factorio mod db page, opening a tab on my browser).

I can only assume that the opened browser tab somehow ends up counting as a child ...

I see. Thank you for informing me, I must just be doing something wrong.

Hello,

I am currently making a mod that makes the planets darker by changing their surface_render_parameters.day_night_cycle_color_lookup tables.

Nauvis uses the default pair (makes sense), and vulcanus, fulgora, and gleba each have their own. Aquilo lacks one though, so it is left somewhat ...

Next lamps:
Lamp sprites are currently not just ready to be drawn rotated and you'd end up with upside-down or weast facing lamps that would make no sense
What else is there to do with a direction on a lamp?


I realize this is an old post so forgive me if it is inappropriate of me to be ...

I don't have much of a stake in this since I very rarely bother to use lamps to light up my base, but when I do I prefer the new softer white color.

The old pure white color is very surgical and sterile to my eyes, whereas the new color is more in line with the slightly dirty and industrial feel of ...

The factoriopedia also exists and has ample information to help the player with this challenge and previous space challenges - it lists asteroid armor values per damage type, space routes with graphs of what asteroids you'll find and how many along the way, and the page for "thruster" even shows ...
