While you don't need to use AutoHotkey -or any other third party key rebinding software- it is the only way to use the scroll wheel as an input to trigger custom events, something this mod uses to change the zoom level. If you're fine using other keys to zoom, they hotkeys used by the mod are config...

Ah, must have missed that one in my search. Good to know it's already handled.
Keep up the good work!

While trying to wrangle the train pathfinder to create logic circuits using trains (you know, as you do) I ran in to a train always choosing the longer of two similar paths. After experimenting a bit, and taking a look at the source code, I've arrived at the conclusion that the length of the final s...

As the train pathfinder is currently implemented it will always prefer the path that ends in the same segment as it starts in, regardless of whether it is the closest one or not: demonstration.png 0eNqVmd1uozAQhd/F11B5bGND3mCfYVWt0sTbRSIQAam2qvLuCyVp2qwrzrkEzMfY83PG5k09Nad47Ot2VJs3Ve+6dlCbn29qqJ/bbT...

Attaching a .zip of the resulting scenario. Hopefully the images below can help show the issue: map.png scenario.png To reproduce simply open the save in the OP and compare it to opening it through the map editor's save conversion feature. What I have noticed is that the game automatically imports t...

I have a save-file that I've earlier exported as a scenario using map2scenario to add some scripting, when done I used scenario2map to continue playing with the added scripts. Since then I've made changes to the map while playing. Now I want to add some additional scripting to it. However, when I us...

Since 0.17.0 the selection_mode flag "tiles" is no longer accepted by the game, despite what the API and Wiki would suggest. As far as I can tell the flag was removed in PR2321 but it's removal was never documented beyond that. Removing this flag breaks one of my mods as that flag was the only way, ...

Trains in the NO_SCHEDULE or NO_PATH state do not give any penalty to the score of a path (except for the regular occupied block penalty that is). Savefile shows trains wanting to go through a path with trains in these states instead of a slightly longer one with no obstructions. Treating them the s...

If the player has the "all train GUI" open (the one that shows a list of all active trains) the game can crash if trains are deleted through scripts. I've attached a log of this crash and a save in which I can reproduce it. To use the save simply load it, open the train list and run the following sc...

Yep, as long as the train is not forced to do a hard re-path it should be fine.

I'll have to change the deadlock ratings of a few of them and probably rerun the throughput testing on at least one. Most designs tested haven't changed that much, except that those rated B-E should need hard path changes to deadlock. As I'll be changing how I rate intersections anyway this should a...

For those following this: Some changes made to chain signal block detection in 0.16.17 (didn't make the changelog) actually resolves this bug as it is posed in the OP. The detection was changed from "is a chain signal reserved" to "was the last signal passed a chain signal". In my testing this makes...

As mentioned in the OP, I'm working on updating this thread to be more in line with how the path-finding works now (or how it will work if my proposed changes get merged). I'm considering some of the suggestions sillyfly posted a while back , the efficiency metric seems kind of interesting, but I al...

No worries, it was easily fixed by some cut-and-paste. Also, I'm sticking with rocket fuel. Unless there are some changes made that force me to redo all the tests I've already done I'll probably avoid changing things like that. Regarding your intersection: I won't add it to the "regular" list as it ...

God dang it hans, why is it not symmetrical!? Why are the entrances/exits not properly aligned for all sides? AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Erhem. Anyway, just had to get that out of my system as I'm trying to get this thing in the tester

Huh, did not check my search far enough back it seems. Kind of weird behaviour to have as intended though.

When placing items onto a belt with a inserter the lane the items end up in differs for some directions depending on whether you unload onto a splitter or not, this might break some builds in certain rotations.

I, uhh...

...

Hmm...

...

I'll try it for sure, we'll see how I include it in the results

It's not in the changelog but the hang should be fixed for 0.16.15.

Thank you for sharing, turns out that it was a bug in Factorio. The game hangs if you try to copy/clear the filters of an inventory that is larger than 255-ish.

I've notified the devs so hopefully this should be fixed in an upcoming version.
