+1 I want this every time I work with parametrized blueprints

Ah looks like my problems are assigned here viewtopic.php?t=128863. OP's issue seems unrelated, my bad.

It gets stranger: despite the formula editor saying my variables are wrong, I can save it, and paste it and it calculates fine.

On my end the variables aren't even being recognized as valid by the formula editor. This happens in blueprints I've used before, but using OP's blueprint, I see:

My workaround: hit escape twice (once to bring up discard dialog, once to cancel discard dialog) and you'll get out of the textbox, then you can press E to accept.

EDIT: Update to the suggestion format.

TL;DR
Add a last updated time field to blueprint books / blueprints that can be seen in the tooltip hover.

What?
It's not a complicated feature request, just an update time on blueprint books.

Why?
I frequently sync my blueprint book between my ...

Running into the same issue. Is there really no way to confirm-exit a Display Panel text box? (Escape cancel-exits).

Anyway the reason they are doing all the calculations on the fly instead is because GPUs are stupidly fast in performing such shader tasks. They are basically designed to do nothing else but geometry and pixel transformations. Doing above is probably not even a real processing load for a typical ...

I'm not familiar with graphics rendering, so forgive the basic (and likely confused) question, but I got lost in the transition from

Usually for sprites that need to rotate, such as the character or vehicles, we render a separate image for every rotation so the lighting matches up. While this ...

How does quality interact with stacking and filtering? Can a belt splitter split stacks by quality? Are inserters dexterous enough to pick one high-quality item from the bottom of a stack like that trick where you remove a tablecloth without disturbing the plates?


Want to highlight this ...

It's probably best to see the screenshot below.

Reproduced on a couple different saves.

Hi all,

Just wanted to report a negative experience I had with MCProHosting, a host recommended at www.factorio.com/partners.

I've been hosting a small public server on AWS using a t2.small instance and playing with a couple friends lately. Our base has recently reached the 1k SPM mark, all ...

Unfortunately, I think the reliability of this feature is machine dependent. Agree it'd be nice not to have the saving pauses, but there are enough crashes on some machines to keep this feature off by default.

Maybe someone with hard evidence can point to that.

Hi, I am running a headless server on Windows and I have a few question about the logs.

First, are there general log level settings? The rest of my questions might be addressed by that.
EDIT: I found that there is --verbose command-line option, but the verbose message seem to be related to network ...

TL;DR
Make a confirmation dialog box before deleting a blueprint/blueprint book.

What ?
This comes from me accidentally deleting a blueprint book, thinking that the delete button would apply to a blueprint I was holding, instead of the whole book. Admittedly, the hovertext does say "destroy ...

You're an inspiration!

Keep doing you, Dave.

Just wanted to say thanks to the Factorio devs (and the Factorio community). Even if I get busy and go away from Factorio for some months, reading the FFF makes me happy. Y'all are a huge inspiration! Keep doing you!

Ah, strange, could've sworn I was having issue with this. Can't reproduce. Thanks anyway!

Sorry, don't have a save, this was on a multiplayer server. Can't really reproduce it either. I may have jumped to a causal conclusion, it could've been something else that caused the crash.

Once I clicked the delete button on an old blueprint book, the game crashed. Log file below. Let me know if I can help more.
