Next time try asking about the actual problem without too much assumptions about what's causing it. Makes helping easier .

yeh sorry

Aha!! Its because I am Shift-Clicking, to Force-Build, but the centre of my BP is a power pole, and shift-click is the shortcut to disconnect all wires!

urgh, and now its working. I wonder if it removes them only when you Force-Build. (i had a rail signal blocking the first one I tried)... hmm.

Ok, thanks, all resolved.

Of course, silly me. The real problem is this: I am trying to retrospectively add red/green wires to my base. I've added red/green to one area, updated the BP, and now placed over another area that is exactly the same (with existing copper wires, but no red/green), and it adds the red/green, but rem...

I'm encountering something odd, just started happening today, even though 1.0.0 has been out for awhile. If I draw a new BP around an area, the BP isn't saving the power lines. It saves red and green lines, but not copper lines. I tried restarting the game, but still an issue. I also havent updated ...

Far worse than the deconstruction planners having curved and straight rails, it also has twenty tree variants, and four rock variants. I usually keep a deconstruction planner that does the "destroy all trees and rocks" thing, but also cliffs. But I can't just add cliffs, I need to add all twenty tr...

dang, thats nuts!

The real goal of Factorio, is to educate all the stupid humans that polluting the planet they live on has serious repercussions.

Well, I had much more luck on a new map last night. My 4th attempt. I tried to focus on pollution a lot more as was suggested. Picked a map which has a high concentration of trees in the start area (so annoying!!), and tried to keep pollution down. Havent cleared any nests yet, but managed to build ...

Here's an example of my Death World Marathon game (0.17.0 - 0.17.4 at that point) - note the low amount of defense turrets :

I think this is the version I did my last DW in, and I found it very easy too.
I'm curious how you'd find 0.18.

Thanks guys, yes it was an early 0.17 version - cant remember what one. I'll have another crack when I get home tonight, and will let you know how badly i fail :lol: As a side note, I must have tried dozens and dozens of different map seeds. 30% of seeds had spawners ON the starting ore patches. Obv...

Ok, I give up. I thought I was a bit of a veteran, but I guess not... Didnt have any issues with 0.17 Death World. Ive tried 0.18 DeathWorld multiple times, 3 different maps, with all the tricks I know. "Getting as far as you can, blueprinting, then reloading from the start, and quickly just follow ...

agreed!

Well, I would like an advanced mode. Not necessarily any of the existing mods, but just an expanded research tree/buildings that is half way between vanilla and any of the mod packs in terms of complexity. Like a stepping stone. It could unlock after completing Normal mode. Gives normal people an in...

I prefer belts... This is tileable, simple, moduled, and beaconed. 0eNqlmduO2jAQht/F14kUnxNepVqtArjUUk5KnFURyrvXQBta7Wwy416xsPhjzp4fbuzYzG4YfRfY4cb8qe8mdvh2Y5O/dHVzfy1cB8cOzAfXsox1dXt/1tRHtmTMd2f3kx348pYx1wUfvHsefzy5vndze3RjfMN6MIx1Nw39GPKja0IEDv0Uj/Xd/aMiKi8zdo0PalmyTxixYlp39nObu8adwuhP+dA3DoCZDZjE...

geez what an old thread!

I am quite surprised by the Poll Results. None over 15%? Really? I expected at least one of the ~10 to be over 50% or at least close to it.
I actually question the validity of the poll results now.

Absolutely +1. This would make the world of difference for QoL

I generally find all experimental branches, even from first release n.01, to be extremely reliable. Of course there are sometimes exceptions, but overall its one of the most stable and well tested games i've ever come across. Probably due to the high level of automated testing they have used. at a g...
