Is it possible to change the Landfill tile building area through mods? That is the size of the area around the cursor that gets landfilled when you apply landfill. You can change the landfill size with Numpad + and Numpad - as a player, but is it possible to change this through mods?

Reproducing it may be hard since, if my understanding of the source of the error is correct, it is a very precise combination of manually driving a train and meeting an automatically driven train.

However, I'll give it a try. Not sure when though.

Problem

Factorio crashed while driving a train manually.

Description

I was driving my train of size 2 loco's and 7 wagons manually to a location. Was in the middle of a (big) roundabout when another automatic train was driving close to the tail of my train. We were both still on/in the ...

The idea was that I could instantly see if I had all required items for fight-mode (ammo,repair-packs), and that I could see how much ammo was left. But I see your point. I can still see how much ammo I have now, but I have to combine the virtual ammo amount on the Quickbar with the ammo on the ...

A shortcut to a blueprint will not work if the blueprint is placed in a blueprintbook, and that book is then stored in your inventory.

The Quickbar shortcuts only show total amount of an item in your inventory, it does not add the values in the Personal/Ammo Bar on the bottom right corner on-screen. (see screenshot).

Got a crash when I tried this simple small train loop:




It crashes when the train goes automatic.

As long as it doesn't change too much about the way the game works, and possible bugs are accounted for, this could speed up the game, and is the reason why I wrote the proposal. The hardest part, in my view, is making sure that the grouped entities behave roughly the same as the ungrouped entities ...

The intent is indeed being more flexible with giving commands to trains. And I have seen proposals that, for instance, let you program the train schedules just like a programming language, so something like this:

10. Goto station Iron Ore Load
20. If Iron > 100 goto 40
30. Goto station Iron Ore ...

How about circuit connecting rails it could tell you if a wagon, fluid wagon or engine was on top of it the same way belts do.

It still does not make inserters aware of what they are in front of. And I can see it working if you combine combinators with inserters, but I also can see small problems ...

First, if you request an additional setting to inserters, you would also need to request this for pumps and every entity, that is able to interact with train vehicles. Just saying, though I can not think of any other than inserters and pumps.


As far as I know, and using vanilla game, only ...

I would rather see filter inserters have a "passive mode" that can be toggled. In passive mode an inserter will only takes items "requested" by their target, such as recipe items.

Then make fuel slots "request" fuel. Make dedicated slots "request" that type.

It's not that fuel slots request ...

When trains want to go to train stations with the same name, let them reserve the station, so not all trains go to the same station at once.

I've done a few tests the last 2 days to see if I can re-create the crashes that started this topic.

So far, it seems that there are no crashes, I can load and save that same map (but ...
