Re: Friday Facts #378 - Trains on another level

This is my single most wanted feature. I've been hoping for this for many years.
It's a dream come true!
Its so great I can't find the right words for it.

The only thing left on my wishlist is native electric trains.

Re: i haven't read the past 13page messages; so appologies if it's already mentioned.

Factorio 2 - Now a First Person "shooter". No top down view until you research drones that fly above you and look down. Try building your megafactory in first person view only. :) I know you're joking, but building your megafactory in first person is exactly how you do it in Satisfactory....

Re: [1.1.6] Logistics Robots hover without doing anything despite having quite a lot of stuff to do

It looks like they're all waiting to recharge. (I only looked at the video, not the save.) A roboport can only charge 4 bots at once. And it's not exactly 'fast' when you scale it up. Them forming a circle around it is standard "waiting to recharge" formation. You just put something down t...

Re: Version 1.1.3

This might not belong here, but it is related to 1.1.3. I was looking for some insights into a mod that I have provided assistance with, and I was trying to determine if there is an easy way to prevent handcrafting of certain items, because the recipe creates more than one stack when completed, and...

[1.1.2] Walls with a hidden entity in the same tile prevent placement with other walls.

I asked on the modding discord and Honktown helped me narrow it down. The cause is most likely the change in 1.1 for "Fixed that players could be stuck in walls when building them." So the mod in question is Solar Walls . I'm updating it to 1.1 and I believe there's a bug will walls that p...

The GUI is designed for 1920×1080 px screens or larger. If your screen is smaller, you're supposed to use a lower UI scale.
I don't know what you have your UI scale at, but this probably isn't a bug.

Re: Logic combinators don't stop on power loss

Yes that was also my situation. It would be nice to have some signal for power loss, or signal output on the power switch for reading its state of open or closed. Read from an accumulator. If stored power drops below 100%, you're using more power than you're generating. Engage backup power. It's al...

Re: info.json factorio_version should support more as one version

while the wiki states that: Mods with the factorio_version "0.18" can also be loaded in 1.0 and the mod portal will return them when queried for factorio_version 1.0 mods. i find this very unintuitive and confusing, both for players and modders, resulting in the hard-to-navigate mods page...

I personally love it, but I'd like to have it under (modifier) hotkey or shortcut. It just feels weird it behaves differently for belts than other entities and tu...

Re: Version 1.1.0

I'm quite surprised by the complaints related to the quickbar change. It seems like a super obvious thing to me, that I always clear the cursor automatically whenever I'm done doing something with an item. Clicking some other quickbar item with something else is hand is just something that doesn't ...

Re: Version 1.1.0

But the whole point is that while the old quickbar did contain items, the new one (i.e. new a few versions ago) actually contains shortcuts. Trying to make it look like it contains items just increases the confusion. My original complaint was based on a reading of the change-log. Now an hour of act...

Re: Version 0.18.37

Been looking forward to this for a while. Awesome. From my initial impressions, I'd just say list view could be made so much better (at least to me) by shrinking the icons on it a lot. List view's primary source of info is, well, the names. But those are spread rather far apart. If the icons were ev...
