Re: Blueprint city block question


I have a hard time setting the right parameter in the blueprint setup to find the exact position an existent city block has in the factorio world grid.
When I copy any existing given city block, I want to attach to the existing one, I must set the proper parameter to align this with the global ...

Re: Second play through, first K2 and vaguely frustrated…

The K2 didn't click for me in the title, and I think I'm probably not the only one.

But OK, you're playing K2, so you're already using mods. There are plenty of mods that give you early construction bots. Why not just use one?

Here's the 2.0 version of one I like to use when I play Space ...

Re: Second play through and vaguely frustrated…

If you don't mind mods, there are plenty of mods that give you some form of construction bots right at the start of the game.

Re: Buy Factorio Again

I think you can buy it again here:

https://factorio.com/buy

It was a bit of a roundabout to get there:
  • Support -> FAQ
  • Open How do I buy this game then?
  • Click the Purchase page link.

Re: Ghost Rail Planner needs to be toggled instead of Held

This was first changed nearly six years ago:

viewtopic.php?t=69397

(See the first bullet point.)

It used to be 8 rotations, but it's gotten rather worse since it's now 16 rotations to go all the way around.

Re: [2.0.43] Campaign tooltip about radars may be misleading


Actual result: the tooltip says "The enemies might attack your radars ...", which might be misleading, because, according to wiki , starting from 2.0.7, enemies no longer actively target radars.


Oddly, there's nothing about that in the patch notes for 2.0.7. I wonder where the wiki got it from.

Re: UX Frustrations.


When you right click your building, you can shift click the requester crates, to say when items they should request. And biochambers does in fact require nutrition. It's almost a bug if you ask me. But when you try to tell the crate what to request, it doesn't request nutrition

Re: [2.0.49] Cliff Explosives estimate when deconstructing is wrong

Are you thinking it should just show a lower estimate?

Or that it should actually calculate how many will be used?

If the latter, I wonder if it makes a difference what order they're destroyed in.

Certainly it would have a higher UPS cost than just showing the estimate.

Re: The quality system needs a redesign

As soon as any quality above normal was available, I started using it judiciously. Higher-than-normal-quality mech armor still lets me add more equipment than normal mech armor. On Fulgora I made a rare car just for the hit points bonus, so it was less susceptible to lightning strikes while I was ...

Re: Rename Personal Roboport to Portable Roboport

The Personal Roboport has been around since June 2015:

https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-92

At the time it could only be inserted into the player's modular armor. And it's likely this is still its primary use, even though its functionality has expanded.

Re: Version 2.0.46


It's great that you posted a summary of the actual changes! However...
This is wrong, as it fails to include the fact that it now crafts 2 red magazines at a time!
Per Magazine the change is:
Copper plates: 5 -> 1
Steel: 1 -> 0.5
Iron plates (in firearm magazine): Unchanged

Re: Quality killed this game for me

I don't get the anger.

There are two ways to get a legendary item: Through luck, from a lower-quality item build with quality modules; or through creating it from legendary components. You can do either one.

No you cannot, Space Age depends on Quality.


Just tested, and you're right: If playing Space Age, it won't load without quality.

Quality is optional, though. One can choose not to research it and not to use it.


We have made it so that quality is 'invisible' in the game until quality modules ...

You can also install a .zip version of the game so you don't have to run through Steam at all.
