Added a video, showcasing what I mean.

1. The middle belt row doesn't properly compress the items while the top and bottom row do. Any underground distance higher than the bottom belt (So, a distance of 2 or greater), produces the compression problem.

2. Weirdly, to me, removing the single belt piece that I ...

I would like to argue that step 1, 2 and 3 are not part of that duplicate, but I do agree that A, B and C are duplicates. But if step 1, 2 and 3 are part of the same glitch, then agreed.

1. Replace these UG with fast UG, by hand, through cursor, no bots or remote view used:

2. Now the UG in my cursor is reversed:

3. But also switching back to the red belt in my cursor (that you see in Picture 1):

I don't understand the problem, especially regarding sending calcite to other planets. Rockets are literally free on vulcanus. Not just that but with advanced asteroid mining iirc you can also just get calcite from asteroids? Thruster fuel in space is made by asteroids so once again calcite is ...

The only point I see behind this is when another mod increases your inventory size (slot count) well above and beyond vanilla. So... why can't a mod also be used to expand how many slots are in a row? Why does it need to be put in vanilla?

Because you may join a server that has increased ...

I apologize, I did not see that thread.

But you can't join other servers with it, because it's a mod.

TL;DR
Allow players to change the default inventory width in Settings -> Interface.



What ?
Currently, players can go to factorio\data\core\prototypes\utility-constants.lua, on line 320, change inventory_width to their desired number.
There are three issues with this:
1. Not user friendly.
2 ...

When you load the map, the blueprint should automatically build; this part will help seeing the problem, as the issue will start appearing right away and was the most reliable way I could get the issue to ...

I was developing setups for BP's when I came across this issue. It involves 240/s belts and splitters. I used game.speed = 0.2 for visual clarity:

I tried to narrow down how it happens but instead only got more confused:

Does the expansion have a working version on the Nintendo Switch? Just curious.

If you read the FFF, you read that Switch can barely maintain 60 UPS to launch the rocket. If you read the FFF, you read that it takes a team of 12 (most of which are veterans, of course) 5 days to finish the ...

You do realize that in almost 2 years, some of the original plans have slightly changed, right ?

Perhaps the roadmap. Hiring Earendel, creator of the Space Exploration mod. Announcing an expansion pack. Something seems suspicious. Also, it's a blast looking through the old blog posts and forum ...

I'd like to add a counter argument towards the removal of the character tab. The arguments for removal such as the weapons tab being a duplication aren't exactly true. When you are in a vehicle, such as a Spidertron or a Tank or a Car, etc... Some of these existing GUI elements get overridden by ...

Would it help if trains had 1/4th their current slots and increase stack sizes by x8 to put UPS more in favor for using trains? Or other alterations such as the bulk rail loader (1 entity instead of many inserters withdrawing?).

What are the optimizations one could do?

None of the ammo (i.e. Cannon Shell Magazine), new defenses (i.e. Plasma Turret) or personal defenses (i.e. Advanced Laser Defense Equipment) scale with their respective damage bonuses. This means that just 2 or so upgrades in space tech for their respective damage upgrades, the vanilla versions of ...

I have now fallen into the trap too.
Does anyone still know a way?
Yes, I just got it to work myself using a different method. Using a hex-editor, I do a forward search for text "command-ran", then do a backwards hex search for 00 01 01 01 and replace the first 01 with 00. Tested with 0.16 stable ...

As far as I know, this is not a duplicate of the report that you tagged. In the thread that you tagged:

Thanks for the report.
This is (most probably) result of a migration of a belt that was not in proper state (at least to the rules we have now). So it ended up like this instead of crashing.
If ...

As per request:

The super-compressed belt shouldn't be creatable in 0.16.26 (only by manual rotating, which will also be (mostly) fixed for 0.16.27), so if you have another way to create super-compressed belt, create a bug report please.


How to reproduce it:

Hello, I found something similar to the overcompression. It might be related to the same fix that you have for 16.27 except with me, the cause was an underground belt and an inserter causing the same behavior. Should I make a new topic for this or are you confident that it's the same thing? I can ...
