Some modders might use on_player_placed_equipment as the catch-all event to keep track of equipment changes. However, this might be misleading because it does not handle cases where equipment is changed through script, which is not explicitly mentioned in the docs. Modders might also be more incline...

It's likely that Space Age's turret will be similar to Space Exploration where only astroids that will hit your ship (or get close) will be targetted. Turret zones would be useful though to not let all turrets fire at the same astroid, and ignore others. But the effect of this will be small I think,...

Ah yes, that does work. But unfortunately that of course changes all rail colours regardless of prototype.

Guess this is more of a Modding Request then to allow the rail prototype to specify the map colour

What The custom map colour for a rail (straight or curved) is ignored. Expected behaviour That the map colour of a rail will change if I set the map_colour in the prototype Reproduction steps Place this in data.lua local red = {1, 0, 0, 1} data.raw["straight-rail"]["straight-rail&quo...

As a programmer myself I'm curious what exactly you mean here. I understand the part that different platforms do floating point operations differently, and they might have different results. And because Factorio is deterministic it's very important that all calculations always result in exactly the...

If you play in a Linux machine (x86) and your friend is playing in a M1 Mac Os, without this fix in some cases could occur a multiplayer desync because of different fload calculations

I do understand the reason why they are added. I'm curious what they added.

This experimental version also contains cross-platform checks for x86 vs arm floating point conversions. x86 and arm do floating point conversions differently and if we don't handle it correctly on the C++ side it results in different values which results in multiplayer desyncs. As a programmer mys...

Also, https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/typ ... #max_range

This is the maximum range this projectile will travel after which it will expire.

Didn't even notice that. Epic!

Just some information that I figured out which cost me an few headscratches, which could be part of the documentation for https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/prototypes/ProjectilePrototype.html. I believe this could be part of the general description at the top. Projectiles have two modes, homing, o...

It's a known issue that when modifying a massive rail network causes big lag spikes. IIRC this is because every time you place or remove a single rail then the entire rail network is recalculated, which means every train needs to recalculate it's path. This takes a long time, thus causes lag spikes,...

This seems similar to what I investigated here https://alt-f4.blog/ALTF4-52/. Many mega-base builders also know about this limiation, and try to limit isolated network. There's even a mod to locate isolated networks to improve UPS. It's of course easy to reproduce by spawning many isolated power pol...

That would be awesome! It's been requested here as well by me 98618

For now you could try https://mods.factorio.com/mod/LogiNetChannels

It's definitely stable, already for some time, maybe even years.

Maybe each transport belt lane of the splitter can do a maximum of 60 items per second, in some conditions?

Feels got to move this from “Outdated/Not implemented” to “Implemented Suggestions”

(Even though it’s still a while until 2.0 comes out)

See 108862

Might need to be in the "Implemented for 2.0" instead

Is this because i host a game instead of create a single player game? Yes Is there something i can do to still play today? Yes. I'm not at my personal laptop so not 100% sure of the menu items. But you would have to go "Single Player" -> "Load Game" and then find your save-file ...

Always fun seeing a casual conversation in the Discord improve the base game

The names are the easiest thing to change. Maybe I don't take myself and the game too seriously and found it amusing, but if we had a very good counter-proposal which feels good and is clear when it comes to tiers, we can still change it. I do think there is a little room for improvement here. My m...
