I found a probably related bug report [1] which is marked as not a bug, however the first reply states that "handcrafted production is not reflected in the stats, which is a bug".

Maybe this is not ...

I am trying to see how much coal and stone has been mined manually and I cannot see these resources in LuaForce.get_item_production_statistics if they are mined by deconstructing a huge-rock. I can see them if they are mined from a regular mining patch.

I can see the deconstruction of the huge-rock ...

Maybe because it is built too far away?
Maybe because it is not filled completely?

In Level 1 of the Scenario, once I moved to the right area next to the water and built my base, Biters start to attack slowly one by one my iron miner (motivating me to research repair packs and turrets).

If I place a radar to the left of the iron ore patch (to see more to the west) the Biter will ...

I was planning to write a mod that cannot do things that the player cannot do, in essence a voice interface for playing Factorio, including some natural language understanding parts.

This should not cause any desyncs, but of course it would require to get some streaming data from the outside into a ...

It's it's unbelivable...
WHY I CAN"T JUST READ FILE?! FACTORIO, WHY YOUR LUA IS SO STRANGE!!!
WHYYYY>>>>
Okay...
Let's try to hack it like this, so this is strange.....
because desyncs

factorio relies on each mod doing the exact same thing on each client

arbitrary files don't allow that

Thank you, it is fixed for me in 0.16.18!

On Ubuntu 16.04.3 (xenial) after upgrading to 0.16.7 the game does not start anymore.

Logfile is not updated, but if I start steam from the shell and try to load Factorio I see the following.

I think bots are overpowered because they ignore space restrictions and make space a non-issue (for all other things, not only belts, planning for space is the main issue in Factorio).

If bots would occupy airspace and wait if space in front of them is not empty, then

using bots for rare ...

Make it an intended feature to make designs where belts contain two item on one lane in a certain ratio. This allows to have one belt delivering four types of items to a factory. Why is this fair compared to bots? Because requester chests can deliver more than four (eight, or is it sixteen ...

Your FFF made me think quite a bit, because so far my playing style was always to stay at the lowest Belt tier and wait for the Logistics system to work, and then things got easier to manage but also there was less requirement to plan ahead and to be precise. So in some sense it became less fun.

I ...

Thank you.

I am sorry I did not notice your question because I did not subscribe the topic.

I tried to reproduce the issue with an old savegame but now everything works as I would expect.

@Rseding I think I understand the logic. In that case the solution (apart from the correct remark that this is like cheating) would be to use the deconstruction planner to mark the nonworking underground belt for demolition and remove the ghost, and then to unmark the demolition - then the ...

This post is for my blueprint-storage.dat - to see how I generated this situation, please read my "workflow" in viewtopic.php?f=7&t=50015

I have a main bus layout and try to do the "there is no spoon" achievement and I often do the following "work flow":

load saved game A
build something new to the existing bus
make a blueprint
store blueprint to global library
store save game to some temporary save game B (this stores the ...

I use factorio on Ubuntu 16.04 Steam and on another computer on Ubuntu 14.04 Steam.

I have the same duplication issues. In the blueprint library equal blueprints appear. If I want to "achieve" this manually, I cannot, because I get the error message "Cannot export blueprint. An identical blueprint ...

TL;DR

To use ghosts for planning, I propose to extend the Ghost building system so that Ghosts can be locked which means they are ignored by bots.

What ?

I frequently want to use ghosts for planning. Then it is not practical that available robots will build these ghosts. Therefore I propose ...

Why not introduce a "locked ghost" kind of ghost.
