What

If you have a turret with turret_base_has_direction=false then the turret assumes that it doesn't support direction. This means the direction is (sometimes?) not saved in blueprints which causes weird behaviour where (sometimes) the turret looses direction.

Thanks for responding Lou!


Most likely yes, but it has lower priority than bugfixes - so please create a feature request post so it is not forgotten.

Currently force building will fail on non-buildable tiles if you haven't placed a cover tile before on that specific non-buildable tile. This means that you need to first manually place a cover tile on every ...

Currently the default cover tile that's used for force building is stored per force, and not per player. This can create very annoying situations in multiplayer where while you're purpousfully using a specific ...

The non-default covers are saved per-tile. In the "not-works" save, you paved over (some) natural ice, but not over ice-platfrom, that's why the autofill failed


In this case, could it not take a guess and take the first coverable tile instead of failing? Just like when you pipette some ores it ...

To mitigate this issue, the game substitutes the last used cover tile as a proxy for default tile cover for the covered tile (per surface per force).


Could this be adjusted to be per player per surface per force? We are running into this in our Space Exploration closed-testing where players ...

The energy of a modded roboport is never 100% full when connected to multiple networks, where the closest network is unpowered. It's always off by the energy drain per tick.

We ran into this with AAI Signal Tranmission where the transceivers are roboports, and we periodically check if the ...

This sounds like a bug with the waterfill mod, you need to post it there.

If you want to end this mild embarassment...

That's not a very nice thing to say :)


My apologies 😅 I didn't mean to offend — just surprised to see such basic questions like: "how to install a game I just purchased?" on the official forum.


Yeah it's easy to forget that not everyone has ...

Are you sure you downloaded it? Did you enable the mods in the Mods menu?

In Factoriopedia show when an item is the rocket launch product of some other item. An good example of this is the base game's science packs. You can see that the satellite has a rocket launch product "Space Science", but when clicking on "Space Science" the only way we know that it can be ...

A workaround is to add this modded equipment to your tank. Then you don't need the spider for vision

+1 yes please. This is really not a nice player experience. And many players will still miss this setting. I did the first time I played SE.

If you want to play with the new valve prototypes then check out the Valves mod ! It now uses the new prototypes provided by the game engine. Additionally it allows you to easily configure the threshold in-game for every valve you place (based on some default settings), whereas the vanilla valves ...

The tooltip in this instance does not show correctly when the "Show mod owners in tooltips" is selected.

Would be nice if it's extended to the Landing Pad too. I would make a mod to disable logistcs of the landing pads. I don't like using bots moving bulk items for sciences, etc, but the landing pad being always connected makes this a little tricky.
