I'm also looking for something like that but so far I'm not aware of a better procedure that yours.

I tried to look at the prototype of "curved-rail-a" to see what may be the criteria that the game uses to decide whether it should be a signal.
There are two things that comes to mind:
- "icon ...

Well... apparently it's not Ctrl-Z. I've try to reorganize my station again and the game crashed even that I didn't press Ctrl+Z a single time. This time it crashed when I was removing a red wire but I'm not sure this was the cause.

Edit: I tried to load the save and do it again a few times but ...

I'm not sure what exactly caused the crash. I cannot reproduce it.
I moved a lot of elements of automatic train station around by Ctrl+X them. Then I decided to Ctrl+Z all that and after about 10 Ctrl+Zs the game crashed. The things I moved was combinators, power poles, train signals, walls and wall ...

When the game crashes ( example ) it shows a dialog window that asks whether to open the folder containing logs.

Clicking "No" works as expected and closes the game.
Clicking "Yes" correctly opens the directory but after that the game window is not ...

I'm porting my mod to 2.0.
It's a simple mod that adds a recipe to create a free placeholder item and also a recipe to destroy it. That second recipe is the problem because it produces nothing. (This worked fine in 1.1, btw.) I've verified that as soon as the amount is non-0, the crash doesn't keep ...

Honestly, the fact that you guys managed to make multi-threaded program of this scale deterministic is super impressive.
The fact it additionally can run it sync on multiple machines is beyond my imagination.

If it's as swampy as you described, I guess there will be penalty to movement speed or maybe it will even interfere with some of vehicles?
Nice looking planet and I would make it my new home if I wasn't stuck half way in the mud. There were never as important to destroy all the nature and concrete ...

The hype train is going so fast now, it itself is slowly reaching the escape velocity.

[...] The second thing I'd like most is the ability to select certain properties from red or green only.. stuff like everything * everything would be a lot more useful if you could say "red everything * green everything".


YES. Vector operations, would perform out := green <OP> red for each ...

i can fit rocket silo in my pocket, i can fit rocket silo in vagon, but rocket is too weak to carry rocket silo :mrgreen:

but i get it, neither me or train is doing liftoff (inb4 galaxy express), and fuel consumption would be high to get that into orbit.


This has a surprisingly simple ...

A lot of folks is asking how the items stick to the space-belts. Isn't it obvious? Glue, duh!
We will have to catch some new animal, turn its hoofs into glue and use it to builds belts on the platforms.


Yeah, there should have been a new type of belt for space. All new assemblers too.


I ...

What's the story behinds the platforms not being allowed to have holes?

The new shader doesn't seem to work on wires.

There is an argument to make that there is a lot of mods that console could handle but when you think about it, then yeah, the dev's line of argumentation makes a total sense.
PC players can tinker with mods, load ...

Why no mod support? I’m guessing it’s either:
1) Lack of CPU power and/or RAM
2) Trouble porting the Lua library, since it uses JIT, and the Switch won’t let unsigned code be marked as executable. Also, not using JIT would make 1 even worse, as well as fragmenting the codebase
3) Issues with ...

Could some mod move this topic to Modding interface requests board, please?

If you could define a LocalisedName in lua during the settings stage for allowed_values, you could resolve this easily, but it is not exposed to the API to be able to do this. Interface request time?


If there is really no way to do it right now then interface request time, sure as heck. (Both ...

I've uploaded a new mod (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Rohlinheatagtmuf_Hdhaotaotfnllsape-atnsasri/downloads) 3 days ago and it already has 700 downloads which is way more than my older mods had around this age.

I've added a new version 8 hours ago. At that moment the old version had around 150 ...

OK, a real example from my latest mod.
