Ok, this may be a neat observation, but I don't see anything that is a bug


I don't see why the game runs slower when it has focus versus when it does not. The reverse makes sense, this does not.

In my particular case it's observable at extremely high values of UPS, but it may be observable at ...

Makes sense. Also added the log file.

Since the issue also occured in 0.17.79, I thought that'd help narrow down when the issue in question was introduced.

Something edited it out of my original subject line as posted, but this also occurs in 0.17.79.

So I was updating one of my mods (TimeControl) for 0.18 and as a quick test I set it to run the game at 64x speed (i.e. /c game.speed=64). I immediately noticed some odd effects that I don't recall noticing in earlier versions of Factorio.

In a brand new save :

In-game, my reported UPS in fact hit ...

Not certain why the blueprint string didn't work, so here's a hopefully working link instead

Here's an easily-tileable 11 segment display using far fewer combinators:





This works by exploiting the fact that conditions on lamp can use "Anything = X" or "Everything != X" conditions, so the pair of constant combinators on the right specify a large set of values that -- when added to "N ...

As commonly requested by participants of today's FactorioMMO Stress Test: While waiting for a free map download slot while joining a multiplayer game, there should be some indication of your current position in the queue.

Perhaps the text could read "Position in queue: 36 out of 205" or similar ...

I meant in sense of the proposed QOL improvement presumably showing it, not as it currently stands.

Sounds reasonable. But why show the map exchange string at all when there can be a "copy map exchange string" button instead of a "show MES" button. No one is going to write it down character by character manually anyways, seeing it is always followed by copying it. Showing it means I also have to ...

Today's FactorioMMO stress test got me thinking on ways to handle truly massive scale multiplayer games with some degree of performance.

One thought would be to have people split across multiple games with some form of sharing resources and chat between them. Some of this can already be done with ...

But, the 0.17 implementation of landfill is clunky, mainly because you have to add landfill to the blueprint for it to work... Clunky. There is a mod that let's you add landfill to your older blueprints, but... you are still messing with the blueprints.


BlueprintExtensions has had a rocky 0.4 ...

I'd also like to see this. I've one error report in particular where they only uploaded a partial factorio-current.log but it didn't have the first half which includes mod version numbers/etc. In that case, the issue was my mod relying on something added in 0.17.22 and them using it in an earlier ...

TL;DR: Map exchange strings should be automatically copied and pasted when the relevant functions are accessed.

99% of the time, if you are looking at the map exchange string for a map it is because you are going to copy it and paste it somewhere else. Currently (in 0.17), this requires two clicks ...

on a side note, still waiting for the shift click build over water, hey robots can place landfill now, why can't they do with shift click method and also placing blueprints with shift click.


Blueprint Extensions now has a "Add landfill to every tile of this blueprint that needs it" option, if ...

So, 2 years ago I posted a request to have the GUI highlight matching items (and dim everything else out) when searching:

Yup, I'm aware that priority prototype bounding boxes are relative to the origin and facing north. Transformed bounding boxes can be obtained from an entity directly, but I don't have a real entity available in this case.

The transformation itself is not too difficult though, I already have code ...

Second this.

Some entities (i.e. curved rails) have a secondary collision box.

While this can be accessed on an entity itself (LuaEntity::secondary_bounding_box), it can't be accessed on entity prototypes.

I'm working on a feature to automatically add landfill to tiles that need it in a blueprint, so this is ...

After trying a bunch, I came up with something that sort of works but not entirely. So I'll post my write-up here and maybe it can serve as a foundation for someone else.



Alright, here's a FIFO stacker. It took a bit longer than planned to complete since I had to resolve some issues where a train ...

In the case of your parking bay, if you want a FIFO queue, wouldn't the easiest solution just be to use a long serial track as your parking instead of parallel ones?

This has the drawback of extending travel time for a train that it wouldn't otherwise need when the queue is empty, and takes more ...
