Re: [1.1.103] Updating from 1.1.102 (build 62103) results in a 16-bit executable?

The error here happens when Factorio automatically runs the "updated" program. On trying to run it manually, I get a blue window with "This app can't run on your PC".

Re: [Factorio Mod Portal] Allow edits to title and/or category

At the very least a user should have the ability to delete their own message. I must messed up the title of a message because I accidentally hit enter while editing it. Then found I can't edit the title anymore. And I can't delete the message and rewrite it (a workaround for not being able to edit t...

Re: Spidertron roboport control

Yes, there is disable logistics while moving which prevents their roboports from activating while they walk, this is what they added. Different yes, but works most of the time. Sorry, it works *when that's what you want*. If that is *not* want to want, when you want/need the actual "turn spide...

I am not a big fan of the new belts.... they are harder to identify.
Yup, methinks someone doesn't quite understand the meaning of "icon". Which of course is not news, it's been known for quite some time.

I was thinking of finding new nests on the route and destroying them.

The solution to that is of course More Dakka.

Re: Train routing. Completely explained

Is there any document or probably a thread describing ALL of train routing aspects? Like that a programmer can code algo from.

Re: Notifications System

A little necro, for the good cause. Let's necro this once more. Actually, for me this is alive until it's fixed. Because it's a shame in an otherwise almost ;-) perfect game. I have countless times wished that there was a proper notifications system in Factorio. The kind you have on your smartphone...

Where/how do I close the "New tips" window

Annoyingly takes away real estate. Can't find any option. Can't find a close box.

HELP ME OBI-WAN, YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE!

Re: Friday Facts #361 - Train stop limit, Tips and tricks

I haven't come up with a practical use of this, but I can't help but ask this one thing: can we set the train limit on station via circuit network? Or, can we set the limit without physically walk to that station? Setting the limit via circuit network is explicitly mentioned. As to walking there: I...

why do you have this workflow of making copies of blueprints and putting them into your inventory and deleting them soon after.

Re: [kovarex] [0.18.37] Cannot clear cursor when keeping a ghost item in hand

Pressing 'Q' to get a ghost item in hand of an item you do not have in your inventory. Pressing 'Q' a second time will not clear the hand, the ghost item will still stay in hand. The only way I found to clear the hand was to press 'Q' on a building I had in my inventory. Or pressing a number mapped...

Re: [kovarex] [0.18.37] Cannot clear cursor when keeping a ghost item in hand

Still broken, but differently now: put a ghost in the first slot. Press 1. Good. Press 1 again, or Q: items disappears from cursor, but stays active in toolbar. Press 1 again… nothing happens, since the *toolbar* (whichever part of the game that is, code-wise) still thinks it's the active item. Need...

I don't understand all the criticism of the sounds. I find the sound of Factorio absolutely fine.

I turned it off many months ago, and never back on again. ;-)
