Re: [2.1.17] Crash on exit clearing fluidbox



The place this crashed plus you saying you’ve had unrelated crashes makes me suspect failing/failed hardware. Most likely RAM. That, or a bad overlock on something causing instability.


I will run memcheck on the memory. The system is a new build and I'm fairly confident it's in good order ...

Re: [2.1.17] Crash on exit clearing fluidbox

No, though I've had a couple of other unrelated crashes (for which I also have no repro). For the issue at hand in this thread, I was streaming and could highlight a clip if that helps?

[2.1.17] Crash on exit clearing fluidbox

I recently moved over to Linux gaming (Gentoo, for those who are curious) and moved the savegame from my Windows PC over to join me in Linux-land.

While streaming briefly, swapping between Space Age 2.1.17 and Vanilla 2.0.77 (without issue), I had a crash at the very end after exiting the Space Age ...

Re: Minimum payload should count for mixed rockets also

The biggest of +1s here.

The behaviour is non-deterministic. If your platform is missing x and y, you could get the minimum payload for x, or some other value if you're also getting y in the same rocket.

Re: Concrete should take 10 times less times to recycle or give back refined concrete loop

It is far more efficient to do concrete recycling/upcycling on Vulcanus than it is, or would be on Fulgora. The limiting factor is only the upcycling of calcite, which is extremely abundant on Vulcanus. I've had this loop running for a long time and I'm drowning in stone bricks. Anybody need 2 ...

Re: [2.1.9] Damaged platforms request common repair packs even when it has legendary repair packs



Wait, why isn't it a bug? The platform already has repair packs, so why should it want to get more, of a lesser quality?


It's not a bug because that doesn't happen. It won't request more repair packs unless there are none in the hub.

Thanks for the report however this part is not a bug.

[2.1.9] Damaged platforms request common repair packs even when it has legendary repair packs

I moved my 2.0.77 game over to 2.1.9 last night and let's just say there was an incident with one platform taking off from Nauvis before it should have, and encounter with some asteroids. I was able to get it back to Nauvis to before the entire thing was lost, but the platform auto requested common ...

Re: Remove manual z-drop feeding into inserter hands

+1

Hasn't happened to me specifically, but I have to think the case of hand feeding coal into burner inserters doesn't come up so often (with acknowledgement to Antipatience for being something he might be likely to do ;) ).

Re: [2.1.9] Space platforms can request non-items

DeHackEd wrote: Wed Jul 01, 2026 12:33 pm Nearest I can tell, if you can put it into your cursor, you can set a request for that on a space platform. That includes fluids, planets, and anything in the "Virtual Signals" list.
Does that keep the "all requests are met" ship schedule from being completed?

Re: [2.1.9] Can't easily see circuit number on entities


if you do not want to hover over R/G checkboxes to see the circuit number, you could use a `show-circuit-network-numbers` debug settings, you wont even need to open the entity itself.


That's true, but it can be visually noisy and lead to other kinds of confusion (is the annotation for this ...

[2.1.9] Can't easily see circuit number on entities

A change from 2.0 has resulted in the inability to click on an entity (such as an inserter or assembler) and seeing the circuit numbers to which it is a member. Well, not strictly true, but now we have to mouse over the checkbox. It is my opinion that way in 2.0 was better with the circuit numbers ...

Also, a wall ship at 40km/s against a medium asteroid used to remove half the HP of walls. Now, 4 walls are destroyed on impact, and some are damaged.
