Could you upload a save game for us to check?

Did you ever have the opportunity to take a look at it? Or is this something that has likely been fixed by a more recent patch?

Sure, I also included an older save from the same game where biters were still running rampant.

In my current deathworld marathon game, started shortly after 2.1 came out, biters gave me hell, expansion was rampant and since I was going for several achievements I had a very rough time.
However, in the meantime, they seem to be almost inexistent, damage counter for many turrets in my perimeter ...

Factorio has really nice 2D sprites and animations, but using Alt mode is pretty much mandatory and it takes a lot away from the graphics.
I would love to see a more subtle Alt mode that still shows the same information, but less in your face.

For inserters and pumps, smaller and thinner arrow ...

Ah no it's not just that the value doesn't update live but rather not update at all, even when closing and reopening the map.
edit: Switching to another planet or space platform and back doesn't trigger an update either. The delay until an update eventually does happen doesn't seem to be consistent ...

I noticed that the counter of resource patches on the map can take quite a while to update. It seems like the counter is first set on mouse over or otherwise triggering its visibility but then only updated until 2+ minutes have passed.
Closing and reopening the map doesn't seem to trigger an update ...

"there are no games" was the biggest reason for me to save money and not buy a Switch 2 :(

Buy a handheld PC with built in controller, that is cheaper and you get better performance out of it when playing Factorio.


I have a ROG Ally but the NSW2 has no fan noise, better battery life, lower ...

In my current game I noticed this strange phenomenon that an area keeps losing coverage after a while (haven't figured out the exact triggers yet), but whenever I replace the upper rod at the exact same spot, coverage is temporarily restored.
Seems to be something like 2 different formulas or ...

I think you are correct, it seems like this change is indeed as old as Space Age. Just saw that there's an addendum on the wiki for SA that confirms this.
I thought I saw the old values more recently but my memory was most likely inaccurate.

It seems like physical projectile damage research past lvl 6 has recently been dastically nerfed from formerly +40%/70% (as it still shows on the wiki) to a mere +20%/20%.
Did I miss this in the patch notes or was this change unintentional?

When the input slot of a production building is below the allowed maximum capacity, a whole stack can be added on top by manually clicking on the building and then move the stack from the inventory into that slot.
For example, an assembling machine producing railroad tracks should be able to hold a ...

It makes sense... if the biters are nesting, they don't check they can reach where they decided to convert into a nest/worm. Maybe you could file a bug report, to see if the devs think it's worth "fixing"? (that a unit doesn't have to be able to reach the location to convert, aka "quantum ...

Did anyone else ever notice nests spawning through cliffs?
I must have a few k h on the clock by now, but I just noticed this yesterday for the first time. I usually leave gapless cliff lines in my perimeter defense line largely undefended, but it seems that's no air tight strategy.

Because of the sanctions, this means that Russia will continue to receive a lot of money, but it will be impossible to withdraw them from Russia. Since Russia cannot buy anything abroad. In the past, money ...

Switzerland has other type of securities. Also, I'm deeply shocked, what Russia is doing currently. I just think, it wasn't good to stress a very fragile relation.
I don't believe the narrative of pure russian aggression and evilness.

Right, Switzerland could easily protected itself against Nato ...

If a lack of foreign investment would be an indicator though, Russia should be on a very good path now. After all, there's a good reason why North Korea with its almost complete absence of foreign investment is generally regarded as the most democratic country there is.

You can't honestly believe that's the British PM...

I buried the meaning too deeply: how much a country can be considered its own and free if you don’t own anything in it and there are no rights.


Then just let me rephrase my original statement: highly democratic compared to Russia. There are always more and less democratic nations, Ukraine ...

Ehm, how about the threat of a "special military operation" and "denazification" to use terms that you might find more understandable? Nah, this could never happen, completely impossible, Russia would never do that. Let me guess, you aren't a resident of a non Nato country in Eastern Europe ...
