I also agree that bots tend to ruin the fun of some parts of the game, having the "lazy" option of just putting down an assembler with one requester and provider is too tempting to pass up on when you're trying to solve a problem. When logistics was put behind purple/yellow science I was initially ...

I was placing an electric pole next to a wooden pole, I had intended to replace it. I believe I was going to drag down over the wooden pole? Maybe that happened and caused ...

I've had this bug too, on a macbook pro. A lot of entities would sometimes have very small or no hitboxes for me to select or highlight. Will try messing with the UI scaling to see if that works as a workaround!

edit: no luck with the UI scaling. It often changes the behaviour of the issue it but ...

Hi! Still having so much fun with this mod :) Just starting playing around with the motors and power, super fun new mechanics!

I was wondering if it was possible to make some of the yuoki items work with productivity modules? I've found almost no recipes that work with them, stuff like the yuoki ...

There are no longer any checkboxes in the recipe selector: http://imgur.com/a/s2Yfu

Hi, I can't find how to get recipes that I don't have unlocked yet? I often want to build setups for science or other items I don't have researched before I get to them and it doesn't appear I can use helmod to help with that any more. Am I just missing the setting somewhere?

Hi,

I just recently picked up AAI Programmable Vehicles again, and I'm now getting huge FPS drops when placing any vehicles from the mod. Even when holding just one automatic miner in the hand, on a compeletely new save, my FPS drops to around 15~20, and my UPS is down to 60. As soon as it's back ...

Sometimes when leaving standby; more often when in standby for extended periods of time, many graphics become invisible and fail to render at all.

Not all sprites are affected, but I can't see any particular pattern to which ones are.

That makes sense! Thanks for the response.

Hi, just a simple event request: An event that fires when an assembler or furnace (and possibly boilers?) finishes crafting an item, to enable custom behaviour with the result.

This is already possible by cycling the entities every tick and checking if it has an item in the output, but I imagine ...

Hi, is it possible to expose the rail planning pathfinding (when you ghost plan to calculate routes between two positions) to the lua API? I want to implement automatic rail planning but having to implement A* through the API is very slow. Even with simple transport belt pathfinding, there can be ...

I can't get a screenshot right now but the collision box for the small wooden cargo wagon is about a tile above the base of the wagon, when at a horizontal station I can't click on any inserters behind it that feed into it, I have to move the train out of the way first.

Really enjoying the train ...

Hi all! I am working on a mod for myself, which includes among other things a new type of ore. I decided to release the graphic I created for the new ore in case others would like to put it to use.

Preview, graphic sheet and icon here:

Roots is based around the simple idea of adding a mineable wood resource to the game.

Through extension I have also added a weaker layer of technology (belt, inserter, mining drill) built from wood and stone, and changed the starting items to make a more feudal and slower start to the game. This ...

That function isn't available to entities of type "unit". I was hoping to take one of two approaches to creating an AI character, either by having a "unit" type entity, that is capable of the player's functions, or being able to create a new "player" entity that I can control with set_command ...

Personally I think the slow start is absolutely essential for players just starting with the game. While not perfect, and there is clearly an issue for players who are more comfortable already, I think giving all of those suggested technologies to the player immediately will impede new players ...

Hi! Been really enjoying Factorio and have been very impressed with the modding API, I've done various experiments from small new items to seeing how far I could take a total conversion of the game to create something entirely new!

For the most part it's been at least possible with some work if not ...
