So, many people here like the smoke. But it looks too bad. Modern chemical plants shouldn't be this bad when it is operating normally. I know all it does is to make the pollution alerting, but it looks more like an industrial accident. I would expect explosions follows or the smoke spread to much bi...

Intuitively I like 4 more than 3 because, a single item in a pure action bar is basically just a single item blueprint (with the extra ability to build things manually and use items). But 4 alone doesn't feel like a good idea. The action bar alone without changing blueprints could be a good feature....

Minor problem: Create a blueprint, export the blueprint string, and put it into the library. Import the blueprint string and also put it into the library. You got two identical blueprints there, which isn't possible otherwise.

I'm using Ubuntu 64 bit, steam version, if that matters.

Minor problem: In the GUI of a constant combinator, if you input a too large number it will be truncated to 64bit. But only a 32bit number is actually saved.

I'm using Ubuntu 64 bit, steam version, loading a 0.15 save file, if that matters.

This forum doesn't let me upload an empty file, so this is my original broken save... To reproduce it you should modify the timestamp or remove other save files to make sure it is the newest.
Also, if I try to load this file, it gives two errors together.

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 32 bit.

That reasoning isn't quite different from reinstalling the whole operating system because of this...
I have verified that no file has been changed, if that matters.

It loads fine. And the problem is gone if the broken save is removed or there is a newer save.
Only some minor UI problem.

Not sure if this is considered a bug or not. But this makes construction bots less likely to survive in combat. I can't reproduce it reliably, and this is the nearest I get. At the first time I see it the two bots were near a burning tree, when there were a lot of biters and spitters around, and the...

My computer shut down from overheating while autosaving. So I had a corrupted save file as the newest one. The next time I try to load a save file I got this: factorio_2016-06-29_02-39-45.png Not a problem yet. But after I clicked OK and selected another save file: factorio_2016-06-29_02-40-28.png

It was always said to be a goal, not a promise (nor a deadline). But words spread and that part got omitted. Usually a goal contributes 1/6 to a more properly estimated time. But yeah, not everyone knows software development enough to recognize the difference. Maybe the listed tasks are all done, bu...

Now this one-liner update has the most comments.

About that crane. If it is a train station, it also makes me think a lot of a loading crane. How about a train station that has an inventory slot that can contain fuels and automatically loads the locomotive with it ?!? That would be awesome (especially if done with a nice inserter-type animation) ...

Also, it's nice how the flames are casting shadows

In reality, I don't think fire generally has shadow... And they may add shadows to other objects.

But they might be the shadows of something burning.

Do you have the license for that font? You might want to know it's for sale before getting into trouble. I think their official website is: http://www.foundertype.com/showsortpic.php?inputword=%B0%AE%D3%DA%D7%D6%C0%EF%D0%D0%BC%E4&sid=88&fontfile=FZY4JW.TTF (The listed price is supposedly onl...

Maybe there should be a button (or shift-click) to reset only when the current item is completed.
Rotating or mining the input inserter, and putting the item held by the insert back into the machine, are the parts being more annoying.

Probably impossible because most spirits aren't rotatable.

I have a question: Are most replay bugs in singleplayer mode also replicable in multiplayer as a desync? I think they should be similar. If I played Factorio enough to crash the replay one time, there is likely already a new version. If yes I may just ignore them. If no, it seems there is very littl...

I don't think this would happen often. I found this behavior when I was experimenting strange things.
See the image. Kill the two underground belts in the middle and the other belts got connected. And the new direction is kept if rebuilt by bots.

Ctrl+click on an empty slot in the inventory could send normal ingredients to an assembly machine, but not modules (for the assembly machines making higher level modules and using lower level modules as ingredients).
But ctrl+click on the module stack works.
