Hi,
There are a lot of control settings neatly divided in their on sub section.
It would be a nice addon to the new menu to have a simple expand/collapse all button available in the top of the menu.
There is plenty of empty real estate to use :



Thanks!

Hey,
This is not exactly a bug, more an annoyance.
When you edit the X and Y grid size values, I click in the X: field, type my value and the press the Tab button to go to the Y: field.
Doing this, standard windows behavior would be to select the value currently present in that field so that if you ...

That is super helpful.
Thanks for taking the time to help out!

Cause that is super annoying when you want to clean out your inventory.
I find that a really inelegant way to do limit output.

You are 100% correct.

I thought about copy pasting filter settings because it is one of the things I have to do a lot when creating my mall area

Ill typically have an assembler outputting items for me in a chest. To prevent ending up with 2400 undergrounds in a chest, ill set a circuit condition of "Enabled if ...

TL;DR
Allow copy content of chest to Circuit Condition of circuit connected inserter


What ?
It would be really helpful if we where able to shift-right-click on a chest and then shift-left-click on a circuit network connected inserter to copy the content of the chest as a Circuit Condition to ...

I am designing a robot based mall and I want to set the amount of items that need to be created with constant combinators.
For instance when creating pumps, ill have combinator with "pump" 50. I then put that in an arithmetic combinator that does * x -1 so the output is -50.
I then hook up the ...

Oh. Never knew there was a limit.
Sorry.
Thanks for your reaction.

Hi,
I noticed this weird bug in my current game.
Sometimes power poles won't connect.
I am using some mods but the poles that show this issue are normal unmodded ones.
The uploades savegame has me standing right next to a powerpole that does won't connect to the small powerpole.
If you remove the ...

That is awesome.
Thanks for your continuing hard work!

Thanks for clarifying.
Too bad, I kind of liked the eye candy

So, when i gave the command, my UPS went back to 60.
Perhaps it was the way i hooked up all the lamps to signals. I have rows of lamps connected to every rail signal. They then turn a different color when a train is on its way.

Thanks a bunch, will report back with the results tonight.

Inspired by This https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/8mdl33/hexagonal_grid_megabase_proof_of_concept/ post, i ran lamps next to all my rail in my cityblock style attempt at megabase.
I am approaching 50K lamps now, but my 1Kspm base is running at 50UPS. Do lamps (in ridiculous amounts) impact ...

Adding to the above, when clicking on the name, the position of cursor does not correspond to the position of the click.
See the attached screenshot.
Again, definitely not game breaking but annoying non the less.

Thanks again for your reply.
Valid point. It is indeed useful. What makes the powerswitch different from a constant combinator though? Why the one and not the other?
Kind regards,

VonFlaffenhausen.

Thank you for the reply.

Out of curiosity, would you care to share the philosophy behind that change?

Not a mayor bug but something that annoys me every time.

I have a bunch of stations, when I need a new one I "plonk" down a BP and click that station name. I then select similar station in the list, press the "end" key and change the name.
So "LTN-Iron Ore Provider #04" Would become "LTN-Iron Ore ...

Hi,

I noticed that I can click a power switch in mapview and interact with it (change the options)
This is not possible for other circuit connected items (Constant combinators, inserters etc). This seems somewhat inconsistent.

This in in the latest expirimental (0.16.50)
