Thanks for the responses. I am using the planetary distance adjustments to increase the distances between planets, and as such it can be useful having multiple platforms even on a single route. Of course this may result in performance issues later in the game!


If you give both identical platform ...

How do I schedule one ship (platform) to leave when another leaves from a different planet? With trains we can limit the number able to travel to a station but planets don't have this functionality.

I'm trying to make platform 1 load/unload at Nauvis while 2 is loading at Vulcanus etc. Without some ...

Power poles are sometimes used on space platforms to connect circuit wires. This is fine in my opinion (though maybe some people would prefer not to do this).

What is not fine is that by default these poles get copper power lines. We don't want those in space because (a) they do nothing useful and ...

Any chance you can make the colours match on production and consumption graphs?

Really nice improvements there!

Only two other train "mods" I can think of that you missed:

• Let all locomotives work: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/MultipleUnitTrainControl
• Something like https://mods.factorio.com/mod/TrainSpeeds

Amusing how no one mentioned the mod that does exactly this train limit thing: Concurrent Train Restriction.

Improved performance by up to 2.5x when the game needs to iterate Lua tables on the C++ side.
Improved save/load performance of mod script data.




Does any one have a reference posts on these two changes ?


In case you didn't see it yet, bottom of the last blog post: https://www ...

This mod won't load under the latest version of Factorio:

Failed to load mods: Error in assignID: tile with name 'dirt-1' does not exist.

(Confirmed it's caused by this mod.)

I'm surprised it hasn't already been reported because this is a great mod.

P.S. I have no intention of joining Earendel ...

Where do you find this "minor patch" description?

Where do you find the promise that an update to the experimental beta branch won't break anything?

You probably shouldn't be on the experimental branch if it's this upsetting to you that things might break.

Go find out what SemVer is. Not ...

Er, yes. Yay, a "minor patch" broke lots of stuff!

Any chance you guys can use SemVer and do at least rudimentary testing that patch-releases don't break mods? This also implies checking a player *really* wants to upgrade to the next minor version (e.g. 0.19).

I finally got around to bisecting the issue — [Combat Roboports](https://mods.factorio.com/mod/combat-roboports) is responsible. (I still needed to use the reset command(s) after removing the mod.)

Yup.

$ rg true mod-list.json -B1 | rg name | cut -d: -f2

"Automatic_Coupling_System",

I still have this problem. Running the command above to reset technology effects does not fix the issue. Any other ideas?

I already have 0.18.17. But thanks for the reference.

Personal logistics are now unlocked by a single research. This unlocks personal logistic requests and auto trash(unlimited count), plus 30 character trash slots.



After upgrading there is no `Logistics` tab in my character screen, however `Logistic robotics` item is ...

But why do you need to put a buffer in the power pole? The Induction Charging mod is able to charge player/vehicle equipment grids directly from ordinary power poles. Combined with the Electric Vehicles mod (the .16 one at least; haven't tried the latest) this allowed pretty good electric trains in ...

Alternative to above ↑ for flow control:

- standard pipes can only form two connections, i.e. straight or corner
- a new piece, pipe hub, can form up to 4 connections

Also, please consider dedicated graphics for diagonal pipes as with rails (and maybe even a pipe planner).

Another little thing: can you fix requests getting filled by distant bots in a big network? Often it's quicker for a local bot to do two jobs than wait for a distant bot to arrive.

Similarly for storage: why do bots place stuff in far away storage when there's much nearer options?

And pre-emptive ...

You don't plan to solve the "glitch" then: trying to walk up a blue belt placed on a slow surface (sand) is impossible.

Why exactly does the surface under the belt affect player speed?

I'm not bothered how you present the blueprint library, but my main issues with blueprints:


there is no easy way to copy a blueprint
modifying blueprints only allows removal of elements; adding something requires recreating it which is a lot of work for some large blueprints
there is no ...
