Steps to reproduce: 1. Start a new Space Age game with default settings. 2. Optionally, move away from the burning ship to make the issue easier to detect. 3. Enter map view (with either the 'M' key or the mouse). 4. Leave map view (with either the 'M' key or the mouse). Observed behaviour: The ambi...

Steps to reproduce: 1. Place a new display panel. 2. Set an icon on the display panel - any icon seems to work, verified with fish. 3. Stand in front of the display panel. Observed behaviour: The engineer is rendered behind the icon, as shown in the attached image. (No other graphical glitches or is...

A "very alpha" version is out, playable only up to red science. Just to manage expectations a bit! (Also I don't know if it's out to non-Patreon backers...)

That Patreon update that just went up... I'm really looking forward to this now.

1. Steroids?
2. Enhanced bone growth?
3. Pacemakers?
4. Antibiotics?
5. Greenhouses?
6. Domestication?
7. Increased health?

Plenty of ordinary people are getting news! We're just ordinary people who are paying $3 per month to support development.

Thanks!

What sort of fuel do I need for a phosphate mine? I've tried wood and coke, but I get an error of "the phosphate mine can't use chemical fuel". What other sort of fuel is there? (I'm already supplying syngas.)

Yeah, I don't have that problem. Have you tried updating everything to the latest version? Have you tried disabling all mods except Pymods? And are you using all of Pymods, or just a few?

Is it safe to update Factorio past 17.24 yet, or does that still cause issues with recipes that have multiple copies of the same output?

Just wanted to say I really like the rebalancing you've been doing recently - thanks!

Yeah, this is incredibly annoying and stupid, and has bitten me repeatedly when trying to fill in ghosted buildings in PyMods (since the buildings in that mod are expensive relative to pipes). The easiest "correct" behaviour would be to check on recipe selection whether there's any valid r...

The new quickbar looks great! There's one quality-of-life feature that could make it even better, though: the ability to set a slot to map to the last hand-crafted item that's not currently on your quickbar. For example, let's say you're setting up your first oil outpost. You handcraft a couple of p...

Dont forget the uranium! Where im working on now.

Ooh, that means there's just that and zinc left to do, right?

If you wanted to do something major, maybe you could require highly radioactive materials to be transported in lead containers acting like barrels?

Eh, I'm sure pyanodon's got some good stuff in the pipeline. I'd be more interested in seeing PyRO finished and then seeing what they can come up with for alien life, or alternative energy, or petroleum handling, than in seeing them recreate every single material used in Bob's. :) thats interesting...

Wait, then what's the advantage over a standard ore patch again? (Or is the idea to phase out ore patches in favour of mines?)

Given that mines produce unlimited ore at constant throughput but are very rare (IIRC), there's also another reason to go as far down the chain as possible - it means needing to find fewer mines to fuel a base.

Voting REE purely out of disagreement with "make nichrome great again".
