Steps to reproduce:
- screenshot preview of a default map with seed 3055637509
- start game and go a few chunks south west
- observe missing biters in comparison with the preview screenshot

Steps to reproduce: - assign "Mouse button 4" or "Mouse button 5" to "Shoot selected", "Drop item" or "Pick up item"; - try to execute a corresponding action. Notes: - "Mouse button N" works, for example, to open/close inventory; - "Sh...

Hi, in vanilla game the state of price multiplier is not reflected by the state of settings reset button.
Moreover, where is the "Expensive Recipes" option? Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Yay! My first Factorio crash! Here is what I did: - played for an hour or so; - manually saved the game; - quit to main menu; - press "Exit" button; - got an error suggesting to post the log file on forum (see attached). I was unable to reproduce this error. Mods used: - Alien Biomes (+HD ...

I would like to express a bit of criticism of the planned changes as a long-term Factorio player. The main issue is that the vanilla game is already quite complex for an average gamer. Thus, adding new compulsory mechanics such as recycling and building space platforms does not make it any simpler. ...

I've got following setup on the picture. By mistake I connected oil pump to the inactive input of the refinery. Oil pump works fine, but oil is gone - probably spilling onto the landscape. How to replicate: 1. Place pump 2. Place refinery as shown on the picture 3. Select basic oil processing recipe...

There is no best solution to this problem. The issue is that when you rescale a highly detailed graphic image to 50% size, some details are lost inevitably. You can slightly compensate this by increasing contrast, but it may distort edges or smooth parts of an image. In this particular case the prob...

The map? Better, but still not great. While the updated color schema makes it easier to distinguish biomes in the first place, you should really give something else a try. Flat color next to flat color is just stressful on the eyes, especially if the only difference between biomes is on chroma. I a...

No, no, please, no! Not this way. This is too much sparkling stuff. 1) Some people including me prefer to play in the dark or at night. These bright colours will put extra stress on the eyes. Please consider that many players also spend hours and hours at Factorio without even noticing their fatigue...

Here is a save at this exact point before attack. Let me know if you need an earlier one.

I have seen this wired biters' behaviour for a while, but wasn't sure if it's a bug. Anyway, when a sufficiently large biter attack convoy meets an obstacle, its units just go crazy and loose a sense of direction instead of calmly going around it. I've attaches some pictures, which illustrate the is...

Hi guys, I've just downloaded a free demo and got a consistent crash. See screenshot and save attached.
How to reproduce: install free demo, load save and go straight to compilatron, watch the scene of biters eating the base and crash:

I have the same problem with my vanilla game. I have only non-game changing Bootleneck, Vehicle Snap and Bullet Trails mods installed. Biters hardly ever attack my base. Here is statistics: biters_stats.jpg There is clearly plenty of pollution: attacks_direction.jpg Here is how biter attacks look li...

When I cancel crafting in an assembling machine by picking it up, it doesn't return items invested into crafting, which used to be the case in 0.16. I wonder if it's a bug or intended behaviour, but I didn't find stuff like this in the release notes. It would be nice to have the old behaviour back. ...

Queue has a great chance to be a powerful tool in a game like Factorio. It can have some features unlockable throughout the game (e.g. length), until in the late game it can be very useful for infinite research (e.g. advanced scheduling of different techs). It will be great option for speed runners ...

I also thought that it might be the case, otherwise there is no way inserter did not have time to put a single piece of wood there.

Here is the save with this situation:

I'm not sure if it's a bug or intended behaviour. Here is the situation. Despite the fact that there is wood in the chest, the locomotive can no longer be refueled in automatic mode. I don't know exactly how this situation occured as I did not observe it beforehand. Presumably, the doube-headed trai...

OK, I found the problem - part of the construction orders was assigned to another ground-based roboport network with robots flying from a mile away. I wish there was an easier way to spot this.

The other robots are waiting for the tree to be removed and can't built the walls until that happens.

I'm sorry but I don't get it - there are 100 robots in the inventory doing nothing:
