I would also really like to be able to just not have any import location filter at all. Then leaving it blank for most items seems like a better default. At least most of the time it was just wrong for me. "Current planet the platform is on" would also feel way more natural for the requests i ...

a minor, but easy to reproduce ui issue

video:
2024-12-31 15-48-00.mp4


how to reproduce / steps of the video:
- load game
- go into map mode
- select an item ghost + quality (green rocket fuel here)
- open sth that has a ghost cursor selection as well (red provider chest here)
- select sth ...

- Multiplayer, Space Age, 2.0.28
- am busy on gleba
- other player says "sth wrong with train" (thats not the bug, just normal gameplay 😅), links sth in chat
- i click it
- train stop window opens, displays "0 trains"
- some confusion later, i switch to the surface that station is actually on ...

This is currently working correctly [..]

Wait, your saying the UI intentionally misinforms players?

The ingame-text explicitly says what should happen on a "Shift + Left-click: Add the selected stop to the schedule."

I understand your difficulties of finding nice a control scheme with so many ...

That, combined with sorting the resulting rectangles meant I could do a simple binary search to check if a given task was within the network area.
Huh i always expected it to be the other way around... build tasks being associated to logistic networks, since their networks mostly don't change ...

I like the changed visual, didn't know i want that!

I'm kinda indifferent about the rest. Was okay with the old system, both with the restriction it had the way they interacted, including with the rest of the game. Especially the latter part i'll just have to try in the new system, though its ...

Not super excited, but I cannot really explain why. First thought was "grindy", but it's factorio :lol: maybe it's just such a common game mechanic that it is below what I would want for factorio. But it makes a nice chance-based optimization challenge, sth base game could use some more. Maybe it's ...

Ahh I think you finished the quest to put turrets near iron, then moved the turrets further out afterwards (or had turrets in both places). I will look into it but it isn't one that everyone will suffer from. Try reloading and removing your outer most turrets in the meantime.

Thanks. Yes there is ...

Think i got a different one than most reported crashes (happened after arming turrets with a overly expanded and defended base... based on last versions trauma :D ): The scenario level caused a non-recoverable error.
Please report this error to the scenario author.

Error while running event level ...

Sounds nice. Will replay the intro-campaing asap. At the end, does it open up into an endlessly generated map? I'd love to hear the reason if still not, since this seems an important aspect of factorio.

I also wouldn't have see much of a problem with experienced players not having much difficulty ...

Just played the new tutorial campaign (v0.17.3), am disappointed. Not that it is bad, I just expected more. Some examples:


Short & No Story.
For it to replace New Hope, it is neither long enough yet nor does it have decent story / longer term goals except survival and research. No idea why green ...

Chests and wooden power poles are no longer usable as fuel.
Aww, that was such a fun easter egg :(

Defender capsule recipe now requires flying robot frames.
As consumables, they felt to expensive to me already anyway. So making them even more expensive without other improvements makes no ...

does this mean we can still create mixed fluid systems by using trains as intermediates?

I'd hope pumps can act as some kind of separation anyway, to also let a logic network determine the content of the fluid network.

In general disabling entities that would connect two fluid networks seems ...

Belt Immunity
Does that "stabilizer" only apply when standing or do we also loose the "running on belt" speed bonus?

Tile ghost tweak
I always wondered why different logistic networks don't have separate queues. That basically prevents critical modifications on my outpost while having huge long ...

I like the new UI showing conditions of multiple stations. But the mock-ups show quite simple train schedules but already have so much stuff displayed. All the buttons and highlights are distracting. I hope that can be made less intrusive. Maybe by not showing all the edit controls until the player ...

I might be misunderstand the electric update... did the game so far really iterate over every (active) electric consumer every tick? I thought for sure they group similar ones together, like they do with solar panels & accumulators! Also since you really want to anyway group factories with the same ...

Why do they want to add a new chest type? Can't we just use the storage chest with "requests" set for this? As long as nothing is set, it keeps the old behavior, once items are specified (maybe even by circuit network) non matching stuff is cleared and... but i guess having the feature somewhat ...

Love the mod but it doesn't scale that well on / isn't optimized for larger games. In my save this mod takes about 1.3ms, nearly 10% of total time available when targeting 60fps. In comparison, Bottleneck does kind of the same function for production facilities of which i have at least 25 times as ...

Here is a screenshot i took yesterday: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=964477374

The big biter tries to take a path between two nests even thou he'll never fit. An hour later he was still there running left and right next to that strait and i found another one stuck ...

I really dislike the "flat line" style of solar energy production graphs this game/mod produces. Don't know how feasible sth different might be, if all we can do is change the base games daytime, though. Or might it actually possible to set light to a specific percentage?

There could be seasons ...
