TL;DR
Use the crusher on land to grind down stone, concrete and refined concrete into stone (and ore, optionally).


What?
Use the crusher on land to crush stone bricks into stone. This can be extended to concrete and refined concrete, but the result would need to automatically crush down to ...

What did you do?
Attaching wires from power pole to combinator. I noticed the wire was too long for a regular decider combinator (this is fine) but for some reason the wire was able to reach a selector combinator a bit further away.


What happened?
Selector combinator has a longer wire.

TL;DR
When factoriopedia is open, if you click anywhere but on the window, it will close.


What?

When you have the inventory open and want to take a look at factoriopedia, you can do so without it closing your inventory. But once the factoriopedia window opens and has focus, as soon as you ...

Right now its impossible to send up less than one stack of an item. You need two silos (one to read contents, one to read requests) to get the right amount of items into the silo.

But no way to launch.

New bug - popup when defending against large group.

The version of Rampant - 3.1.2
What is your map evolution - 91% last I checked.
Was Rampant added at the start of a game - yes.
A brief description of what you are experiencing - Fighting off a large group while trying to rebuild defenses ...

Not sure if it's reproducible in 0.18, but in the latest 0.17, if you are playing with someone and, while close by, you click on them to open their inventory and trade, they can walk away while still being able to trade. I was able to give my friend items from over a dozen chunks away.

I am unsure how this bug was caused, but looking at the logs, it seems it has something to do with trains. I had two trains deadlocked on a bi-directional rail.

Some of the new dirt decorations don't disappear when water is placed over it (using the waterfill mod). This could be a bug with the mod?

Reproduce steps:
- Fill a belt with stuff.
- Cause the belt to be backed up.
- Rotate one of the belts that's full.
- Witness that things disappear.


When the belt items "disappear", they actually become stacked at the end of the belt. By picking up that belt, you're picking up these super stacks ...

It would be nice to replace the fusion reactor with a Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (RTG, RITEG). Fusion isn't used anywhere else and we can't build fusion power plants. But we already have nuclear plants, so it's just a modification to that technology.

My mod will add computers to the game. I envision there being multiple types computers, starting with a "Babbage steam engine" to modern computers. The Babbage steam engine is the only one that moves and has an animation. The others would be static images (or maybe animated with blinking lights ...

This is perfect. I'll give it a go. Thanks.

I'm toying around with the idea of removing the need for science packs. I'd like the Lab to progress science forward using electricity only (and time). Is this possible or is the science pack requirement hard-coded in the game?

Can you test this bug (with the console commands as well) in such a prior version, for comparison purposes?

Loaded up 0.14.23. Looks like the same issue exists. I even teleported out to -12000,-12000 to see if I can get larger resource blobs. Same issue, no oil or stone.

I used RSO mod for ages ...

"Very low Very small" resources should be hard to find, but it is a bug when they are impossible to find.

Indeed. Something changed in the last minor revision. I've always played my games with those ultra low settings and there have always been oil and uranium, even if they were dozens of chunks ...

I've generated a world with only Iron, copper, and coal. No Oil, Uranium and stone.

Settings: Everything to "Very Low"; All size to "Very Small"; Iron/Copper "Very good", Stone/Coal/Uranium at "Regular", and Oil at "Very Poor".

I ran a few regeneration of these settings and it's consistent.

No ...

Doesn't a reactor require water to keep the rods submerged and cool? Looks like the reactor is just providing heat for the boilers to turn water into steam.

i'm Still Hoping for Slightly Logical Reactors... like Different Fuels, RTGs, Uranium Enrichment, High Perssure Turbines, Better Pumps, etc ...

A big FPS slowdown I've seen can be reproduced without mods or a save:

1. Have a large parcel of land that is paved. I mean HUGE.
2. Grab a blueprint of that massive area of paved land so you get a blueprint of nothing but paved area.
3. have the blueprint in hand so you get a "ghosted" copy of the ...

Having a grid in a roboport could be cool. Things you could put into the grid would be:

- More batteries for added recharge power.
- A fusion reactor so that the roboport could be self sufficient without the need for a power grid.
- Some sort of new item that modifies the roboport's construction ...

I'm wondering if this is possible. I'd like to create an item you use for selecting entities. This item would save a list of entities for later use. Then, when using the item, it would refer to the saved list within the item itself rather than a global variable. Is there a way to assign metadata to ...
