Re: Friday Facts #397 - Factoriopedia

You didn't mention locked / unlocked state at all. I presume in search results, used by, alt recipes etc you see all recipes, it'd be nice if locked stuff was grey'd out and pushed to the end. Also on locked items the tech to unlock is the most important thing. But on unlocked ones it's the least, ...

Re: Friday Facts #394 - Assembler flipping and circuit control

I don't know if I miss something, but what signal will you send to an assembler to select the recipe? Especially with mods it is not possible to select the recipe just by specifying the output item, as there are often multiple recipes with the same product or recipes with multiple products. Will the...

I have a proposal: You take your time with finishing the expansion, but during that time you supply us with regular FFFs. Without spoilers, of course. Deal?

[boskid][1.1.0] Crash when loading a modded save (Error TransportLineGroup.cpp:44: members.count(related) was not true)

I just updated from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 and the game crashes reproducibly when I try to load my SeaBlock save file. (I click Continue in main menu) Edit: In the mods menu all mods except Base mod are marked as "incompatible with current version of the game". But I guess it still should not cras...

Re: Friday Facts #329 - Campaign reassessment

You seem to think that it is bad when the campaign is different from freeplay. But I think if they are too similar, there would be no reason to have both. I really liked the old campaign with it's small missions with increasingly difficult tasks. There are other games like e. g. Anno 1404 that also ...

Re: Module Ghosts in Assembling machines.

I would like this too. At the moment we can cancel an open request for bots to put modules into an assembler/furnace, but there is no way to logistically request bots to put modules into an existing machine. Edit: Maybe we could use middle click (aka the button to reserve slots for a specific item) ...

Re: [16.51] Crash loading save: "ID (index: 850, name: puffer-nest) not found in entity list."

I have the same error (index: 804 in my case), also in my Sea Block game, after updating the mods to the newest version.
Would you like to have my save file too?

Re: Friday Facts #246 - The GUI update (Part 3)

The whole "preset" area makes no sense at all unless you know what is it. First there is that row with "bright orange text field with settings icon and some text, weird button, return/re-run button". Nothing here indicates that this is a preset selection or how to use it. Then t...

Re: Friday Facts #246 - The GUI update (Part 3)

I'm calling it now: With the new GUI tileset, nobody will know if a value can be changed because the button and editable field look exactly the same. Notice the seed field for example, it looks exactly the same as the other buttons, making me wonder if it's a button, or a text field. Yes, that is t...

Re: Friday Facts #243 - New GUI tileset

Great work! The only thing that bugs me, is that the editable fields are standing out. I feel like this is contrary to all other applications I know and makes them look to much like buttons.

Haha - and I always thought that the lamps not turning on at the same time was some kind of update bug! I am a coder myself, so I guess this is the typical case of "It's a feature, not a bug!" :-)

Re: Friday Facts #225 - Bots versus belts (part 2)

Also add fucking Loaders, which are already programmed in the game. Allow them to only put things in and out of cargo wagons and other chest types and put ores into and out of furnace type buildings faster then then stack inserters. Not Assembler types and Reactors/Steam Engines types. You do this ...

When you copy the limitation setting from one chest to another while the target chest's GUI is open, the GUI is not updated correctly. It is somehow in a state between having a limitation and not having one. (Hard to describe, just try yourself...
