I forgot: Will there be permanent signals for generated and stored power on all power networks? That would be fantastic, as, whenever there are brownouts, different parts of your base could automatically shut themselves down in a priority sequence to keep the most important parts running at all tim...

I already described you a situation where reading steam will be lossless while reading temperature won't to which you didn't reply. The only way to have losses is if the reactor is burning fuel while at 999°C. You do not have losses if you heat up the reactor while your steam is full, you just stor...

So how would reading the temperature or the amount of fuel cells let you make the same setup without steam reading? Both values have no relation to the amount of steam being produced and it's always the same amount you can't change or save, only waste. The steam itself was always just an indicator ...

Also what did I miss? What is the request group in the requester chest?

See https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-382.

What is this little R / G at the decider combinator interface?

Hello. I started playing PyBlock and after reaching Hot air recipes I noticed an inconvenience - the Glassware recipe using Hot air has the Hot air input in different place (compared to all other Hot air recipes): Glassworks-Hotair.jpg It comes about from the interaction of PyCoal (where the Glasswa...

Hello.
It seems to me that Ammonium chloride recycling recipe (unlocked with RTG) allows for a loop (together with Ammonium chloride gas from Nitrogen processing 2) that is very Ammonium positive.
This was surprising to me, so I just want to make sure this was desired. Thanks.

Hello. Has minimum GPU requirement increased in version 1.1 to DirectX 11? I have quite old GPU (ATI Radeon HD 3650) and it worked fine in version 1.0, but now in version 1.1 it errors out during startup: D3D11_ERROR: D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapChain failed in createDeviceAndSwapchain on line 743. Erro...

The dependencies aren't explicitly written down anywhere, they're just implicit in the order that tests are run. I've read that an advantage of randomized test order is it could reveal hidden inter-test dependencies (e.g. a later test doesn't set the test environment properly and "relies"...

I find fascinating how much work was put into designing these circuits.
E.g. adding that little delaying bend in the bottom red line between Basic memory cell and D latch, that seems to stabilize the memory line when P/E input changes from 1 to 0.

When the fluid set in Infinity pipe's filter has higher default_temperature than 100, trying to change the fluid to one with max_temperature less or equal than 100 (or trying to clear it) leads to an " Error Util.cpp:83: Can't set max value to < min value ". I first discovered it using Sea...

This These values also include s some optimi z ations implemented by Rseding. You're going to kill the proofreading team at this rate! :lol: The first two are trivial changes, even you or I could do them. Optimization/optimisation seems to be an US/GB difference and indeed means more work - choosin...

I think #2 has some sub-options as well (making it more a hybrid): 1. The previous level could be on another surface, still accessible, with some method of transporting materials from earlier level to the current one. I imagine this method would be cumbersome though, making making the new factory mo...

I'm not able to play that Geary Grinder. I'm on vacation and my notebook pc hasn't a mouse wheel. Are there chances to implement a keybord-way (like + and -) ? As a workaround, you could try emulating mouse wheel using keyboard. I found this AutoHotkey script https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/scripts...

What is the appropriate place to post feedback/bug reports for GearyGrinder?
No texts (the level number, gear speed, all tooltips) display for me, the only texts I can see are the prerendered ones in pngs.

I totally agree on the fact my intuitions shouldn't be what drives Factorio's development. Hopefully, your own vague intuitions and arbitrary assumtions will be ignored the same. I'd hate a game designed with the "L2P, noob" philosophy you seem to profess. Don't put words in my mouth. Pla...

How is more unbound hotkeys a bad thing? (Except for how it can make the list more cluttered.)

Maybe Engine units would be a good candidate for multiple outputs?

Pi-C, how many exit signals (located on mainline/branch after the switch) is one routing station controlling? I've seen some designs with many (up to extreme 20) red signals in a row to *really* discourage the train from choosing that path. One. I could try to use more signals in a row, I guess. (A...
