All I want is the music volume slider to be reasonably tuned. Every game I have to lower music down to < 10%.

Always enjoy those QoL changes.

Would it be possible to keep the formula in the text field for future edits? It would be kind to my future self when I revisit part of a factory to see why I chose that value of 141331233.

Ultimately, though, so far, it seems like there isn't actually a lot you need to construct on the platforms. Fuel (and oxidizer) and ammo that I can remember off from the top of my head. Water if you want to bring in Nuclear. There shouldn't be the need for overly big or complex belt setups with th...

It's a trade-off, though. Either you have folks complaining about the realism of the platform being its own constructor, or you have folks complaining about the realism of independently floating, small thruster powered objects somehow keeping pace with the rocket propelled platform and updating spe...

Factorio is a sci-fi factory game, there's no reason why a solar panel should be "legendary". What legends are told about these solar panels?

Thanks. I needed a good chuckle.

The recycler creating better outputs than inputs feels wrong gameplaywise. To me, it seems like it should have a chance of producing the same tier (or lower) as the input, and that quality beacons would increase the chance to recapture the good inputs.

That's semantics. It's a bug if the intent was to manage your items. It's a suggestion if a limit of 1 or 10 or 1000 was purposeful game design.

Howdy. The APi for set|get_personal_logistic_slot notes the slot_index is a uint . In practice, you'll get a Factorio error if it's greater than 65K. In reality you cannot add more than 1000 items to the personal logistics, which is too limiting. I argue that it's too few because mods such as Krasto...

Howdy. Unfortunately, there aren't logs available for the first two attempts. 1. Attempt #1 to update mods. Factorio hard-hung after 1 of 3 had completed (according to the bar). It had to be killed. Reason it hung was unknown at the time (I didn't know the drive was out of space). 2. Attempt #2 to u...

Whenever you select the "X" in the chest inventory, it gives audible feedback. However, when you finalize the limiter by clicking on an chest slot, it does not make a noise. I do not know if this applies to other storage grids.

Howdy. Even though I'm a long-time player, I decided to play through the tutorial. I'm on the stage where you need to research "automobilism". The flavor dialog indicates that the engineer will want to build a car, however, there's no guidance on how to prepare to build the car other than ...

Howdy. If I purchase from Wube, can I forward the email to someone as a gift? Or is the account tied to the emai (I don't know what email they would want to register with)? And what if I'm logged in versus logged out when purchasing the gift?

Thanks.

I had the need to reset a mod's map settings to default. I had no idea what those defaults were, and hovering over the "reset" icon in the upper-right of the window told me I had 52! changes that would be reverted. I could also see what settings would be reverted for the mod in question, s...

Startup and map settings have a scrollbar if there are a lot of settings. The player settings does not.

Howdy. I've made a change to fire-flame, partially to be a different color given the environment. However, I'm struggling to get the roiling smoke clouds to have the new flame's tint. Here's the route I went. The I tried both .tint and .color, using green as it's easy to tell if it is working. The f...

Howdy. `serpent.block` isn't printing out information if the reference is shared among multiple keys nor is it indicating the value is a reference. Take for instance the snippet below. If you examine the `.pictures` key in the large dump, only the first entry has the `tint` and `flags` expanded. All...

Howdy. My suggestion is to make the tooltips stable, both in sort order and with the count as long as the tooltip is shown . Instead of removing items that have a zero count, continue showing them with the label of 0 and/or color the the icon to indicate it's no longer present. It can be difficult c...

Howdy. I was trying to write a mod that defaults the personal logistics to a factor of the stack size. The current behavior is to default the min/max to stack-size/infinity, respectively. My idea is to have a setting that instead of filling in those defaults, it would fill in the defaults scaled by ...

Playing Krastorio 2 (+mods). Built the gas station. It has a deep, throaty sound, but if I run out of sound range and run back to it, it becomes a staccato of glitchiness. If I repeat the action, it once again has its rumbly sound. In the attached save, I created a path for you to run on. Just run n...

What would it look like if the electricity beams occasionally arced to the entities that are receiving the bonus?
