A shortcut for "one stack of whatever's being built" when setting circuit/logistic network conditions on assemblers

TL;DR
When limiting an assembler (etc) using logistic network or circuit conditions, let me quickly set "limit to one stack of whatever's being built" rather than having to enable the logistics network, pick an item, and enter a number

What?
Something we all do a lot is setup an assembler to ...

Re: Belts vs Bots - A response to FFF #224

To me this whole question is even simpler:

Belts are the fun early-mid game. Bots are the late game convenience.

Factorio is a sandbox - if I don't want to use bots I don't have to, but like so many other lategame tech they exist to make life easier late game when the player is focusing on the ...

Re: [0.17.23] Desync when connecting to Vanilla game

haha it does sound a little over-dramatic - but a previous bug report had a random user download the crash log before a dev could see it, so I thought I'd try to avoid having to re-upload and waste everyone's time

[0.17.23] Desync when connecting to Vanilla game

Desync report attached

Not much to explain here - I attempted to connect to a server (one I've played on for the last week). The map downloaded, then immediately did a "redownloading map" then desynced once that was complete

Edit: Whoops, too big for the forum attachments...

Desync report is here ...

Re: Circuit network on roboport, help needed

A bit of a side note here: but it's usually worth using the "available robots" rather than "total robots" for each type. That way you add robots whenever they're needed by the network, and scale with your base.

Eg I have mine setup to insert robots whenever available robots (of that type) is less ...

Re: Trash slots chest: storage chest filled up with requested items...

The above comment is correct, but to expand on why: Active providers chests will actively "push" their contents into the logistics network: which means, if they can get rid of their contents they will do so. Passive providers only make them "available" to the network.

Without storage chests, that ...

Re: [0.17.14] Game crashes when syncing mods with vanilla multiplayer server, but only when using "Join server after syn

Disabling AV is always my first step when encountering a bug, but actually this happened to be a fresh Windows install with literally drivers and Factorio and a couple of utilities on.

Great that it’s fixed though, top service as always :) (although I’m still waiting for the “gates as player ...

It didn't expire... the file was removed because TruePikachu downloaded it - it's a file sharing service, not a file hosting one. I wasn't expecting anyone else to download the dump file.

Dump file. Produced in 0.17.15 due to the update, but I get the same issue - let me know if you'd like me to download .14 to reproduce it there instead

Then the crash is presumably not being logged... my further investigation may shed some light on that though: the game doesn't crash if I delete the logs before launching Factorio.

Just to be sure I was getting the right logs, I deleted my logs and repeated (so I could see the files being created ...

Sure - I've opened the game again since the report, so I've just reproduced the bug and added both current and previous, in case it matters that they're a matching set

[0.17.14] Game crashes when syncing mods with vanilla multiplayer server, but only when using "Join server after sync"

1. What did I do?

When I have mods enabled and try to join a multiplayer server (clicking the "Join Game" Button after selecting a server in the "Browse Public Games" dialog) , the game asks if I would like to sync with the server. The selected server has no mods (base 0.17.14). This has happened ...

Re: [0.17.x] Save and Load Quickbar Layouts like blueprints

Yes please!

This isn't such a big deal in singleplayer since we tend to stick to a savegame for a while - but in multiplayer it's a nuisance as I switch servers fairly regularly. Setting up my quickbar 5 times a night is an un-necessary hassle

I think the title probably says it all here: savegames sync to steam, it would be nice if blueprints did too

Can't open chests while holding items, can't ctrl+click (or shift+click) to drop items in chest

I can't find anything to say this functionality was deliberately removed, and I'm fairly sure we could do both previously because I've been away from the game for months but both are still in my muscle memory when playing.

When holding an item in your hand, ctrl+click/shift+click (I forget which ...

Re: Heavy lifter logistic bots

I think the concept of this is good, but that there's no need for extra types of robot... the infinite research for the robot stack bonus just needs to be more sensible, so that you can get to larger bonuses within a sensible time
