The new radar circuit networks are awesome but a couple simple UI tweaks would really help.

1) If a universe channel is selected, please show the icon over the radar when alt machine display is active, so you can see at a glance which network a radar is assigned to without having to click it and ...

I'm programmatically generating some virtual signals based on the planets in the game, similar to how the game internally generates planet route icons (with the two planets and the arrows).

So I have a stackup like this:


icons = {
{ icon = data.raw.planet[source].icon, icon_size = 64, scale = 0 ...

I'm sure this sounds crazy nitpicky because obviously mech armor is great for all kinds of reasons, but it is actually quite unpleasant running around inside your base because your speed wildly jumps up and down as you take off and land when using a couple pairs of legs. Turning them off entirely ...

Just through KDE's System Settings, the Sound window. The device listed at the top and with the checkbox selected is my headphones, and everything else seems to default to it just fine.

I have noticed from the command line if I run something like alsamixer, the 'Card' and 'Chip' are both PipeWire ...

I'm sure this will be an odd/difficult one to track down.

I'm running Arch w/ KDE Plasma, everything updated. Both 2.0.77 and 2.1.x select PulseAudio as the preferred driver. 2.0.77 consistently chooses my system's default sound device (my Razer headphones), I've never had it ever choose a ...

Not sure whether it really counts as a bug or not as I don't think they were necessarily guaranteeing infinite throughput, the fluid throughput went from 100 per tick to like 4000-5000 per tick now with normal space age machines, just there's some theoretical cases where that's still not enough ...

EDIT: Actually, it does seem like something weird is going on, rate calculator and the tooltip say one number, and I don't see the machine ever get blocked, but it does seem to not hit the production numbers it should even with tons of fluid storage tanks.

Both the tooltip and Rate Calculator mod ...

I'm not referring to the ability for the fluid to transfer out of the fluid box and into the network, I'm referring to there possibly not being enough space in the network itself for the 6000 fluid per tick to even exist for 1 tick. 360,000 steam per second coming out of the cryo plant is 6000/tick ...

At 6000 steam per tick, even with the new input/output improvements, if the size of the pipe buffer and the condenser inputs is less than 1 ticks worth it seems likely there may just be nowhere for the fluid to go. AKA, maybe it has to go somewhere for 1 tick so the next simulation update can ...

It's critically important that the signal not drop to 0 until the pipe segment is completely, truly empty. This used to be the behavior pre-2.0 and it was awful, the new fluid system fixed it by rounding up fluids below 1 to 1. Without it there's no way to detect what is in a fluid network even ...

Yes I know things would normally point to some kind of hardware/driver error, but:

I did a lot of testing on 2.1.7 without crashes, and reverting to 2.0.77 has no crashing, and even 2.1.8 has no crashing, but 2.1.9 crashes quite quickly both at the menu while updating/downloading mods, while ...

I suppose since 2.1 is it I'll make one more pitch for this. It would be really nice to have a way to control demolisher aggression without having significant other gameplay impacts like using the neutral force or making objects completely indestructible.

To enable mods and behaviors like:
A ...

This may already exist? The linked section of FFF-441 actually says:
On a platform you can filter the channels by current location to get missing planet materials or available cargo, and implement whatever logic you might like to control and command your fleet.


Has anyone seen anything that ...

It also feels strange that this allows the input ingredient to be taken out which crafting machines generally don't allow.


Yeah it feels like the system right now behaves as if it's truly necessary for the flow to be bidirectional because it has two ports. But unless my understanding of the new ...

The EM plant has a bidirectional port. The fluid level inside is equalized with the fluid level of the whole segment. That feels completely intuitive to me. If the EM plant could suck from the whole segment then it would be able to run when there is only 0.0001 fluid "inside" of it, which feels ...

On KDE it is Meta+Shift+Left/Right Arrow, which works perfectly for me now moving fullscreen Factorio between monitors. You can set a WAYLAND_DISPLAY= environment variable when launching too, though I'm not sure how easy that is to do on linux steam since it's not an argument exactly.

That said I ...

I was just coming to report this. Clearing the recipe on a EM plant flushes the entire pipe extent on both sides for a passthrough.

That is, a EM plant is consuming light oil to make superconductors, with storage tanks on both sides of the through pipe containing light oil. When the recipe clears ...

The "dynamic setup with filtered input-output ports" was the exact bug that needed fixing. Passing lubricant through a water-filtered boiler but not having it show up in the GUI made absolutely zero sense.

You can use a pump to restore the EM plant's ability to "suck" fluids.


The fluid boxes ...

After seeing some other discussion of demolisher AI I suspected that messing with the force might change the behavior, and your post made me go test and confirm you're right making it neutral does make the segmented AI ignore it.

But, it does break a lot of normal behavior like deconstruction ...

Please consider adding a way to make the demolisher AI ignore a building (so it will not investigate or attack such a player-built structure). It's totally fine if it runs into the object on its own (or is pulled into it by a player) that it destroys it, simply that it doesn't go out of its way to ...
