no they added nothing lol, it's probably a weird bug that either come from compiler, or come from code that would invoke undefined behavior, both are very hard to track and since there is no repro except for 2.0.70 without space age... they basically said well as long as it's gone and doesn't come ...

> Fixed freeze with unknown cause

Long story short: Wube didn't discover (yet) exact circumstances why working-fine-everywhere-else code freezes at some known point but they discovered exact game state which causes freeze. Most likely they added some condition check or exception handler to that ...

Well after along hiatus from the game I decided to return. To my surprises and disgust I fond that the classic oil processing mod no longer works. Well the game is now just of those that no longer think, The dumbing down for the kids is now complete. So it is great reluctance and profound sadness ...

According to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpuwXt-A3QQ 2.0.69 also introduced neat optimization not being mentioned in the patchnotes. tl;dw if a platform has every request being satisfied then it don't scan surface it orbiting making silochesting quite viable thing in megabasing

But is there any *technical* reason why roboports couldn't make a "linked-list" type of pathing?
I was thinking something along the lines of:
1) use the closest roboport (R1) to try to fulfill the request activating bots
2) If that's not enough, expand to next linked roboport(R2) and try to ...

An option to generate water source legally anywhere I please to? GIVE IT TO ME.

There are many mods who do exactly what i will write here so i don't get why they are not in the main game by default.

What you described is just a tonload of options never needed by new players.


As we have alt and all the other buttons, i suggest a new one. This new one essentially tells the ...

Maximum platform speed can be determined by some formula. Somebody posted it, unfortunately I didn't kept a link.

All in all you ask for couple of new items not to change game mechanic or introduce a new one. You suggestion better fits to mod request. Plus, mod's page will accumulate usage statistics clearly showing if the feature is demanded by players or not.

What happened?
When hovering over the various buildings with the decon planner, only the ghost buildings of normal quality was selected for deconstruction.
When i set the blacklist of the deconstruction planner, it selects both ghosted quality buildings & placed quality buildings, but ignores ...

We have no interest in allowing more than 255 qualities. Given that items have quality, if the variable holding quality of items would be 2 bytes that already messes up alignment of all inventories and would increase memory from 24 bytes per item stack to 32 bytes per item stack. So you will move ...

May be you will finish download faster if you simply trip to somewhere where internet is modern broadband and download files there? Relatives, friends, internet cafe, whatever.

Mods are downloaded in-game directly from the Mod Portal . To make a local backup you need to save the User Data Directory , and archive it alongside the correct version of the installer - which is accessible for Steam users too . :roll:

This is the Factorio Forums . Steam suddenly updates ...

Based on what others say here, apparently it's from not using Steam.

As for data loss (aka corrupted saves).

Well, the thing is, you can't really rely on copy and paste till you have a robot work force.

Why? Manual copypaste is effort-intensive yet some players find this a relaxing meditative practice not a burden.
