Having the same issue with the zoom-out key as of 0.17.11. Did some checking, and found the following:

- Tapping the zoom-in key seems to produce the same change as moving the scroll wheel by one notch.
- Scroll wheel operates consistently, with zoom-in and zoom-out speeds being equivalent ...

As I understood it, a rock should be mineable with a pick as normal (thus generating stone), but shouldn't drop stone when mined with, say, a grenade.

I've had similar issues with Steam before. Try the following:

On the host, go to Settings -> In-Home Streaming -> Advanced Host Options, and uncheck "Enable hardware encoding"

"Releasable" has no objective definition. Your first assumption, that the game is releasable, is correct (feature-complete, bug free). Adding features doesn't retroactively change this fact. You're just bending words at this point.


There's no purely objective definition of "releasable" in ...

I don't think that's funny.

I don't think "disable blueprints entirely" is what they were going for. If I'm understanding them correctly, they believe that being able to import fully-optimized blueprints from elsewhere ruins the enjoyment of the game, both for the person doing it and the other players on the server. I'm not ...

Knowing that an entity is powered down is still useful, though. Offhand, here's how I'd do it:

- Does it have a network? If not, display the icon for "not connected to anything"
- Does the network have power? If yes, there's no problem.
- Does the network have power providers? If yes, display an ...

Did some experimenting last night and found a couple of weird behaviors re: pump outputs. Some of it looks useful:

- A pump will never hold on to more than 100 units of fluid if given a choice.
- A pump is limited by the fill level at the output. If it's connected to a storage tank (and nothing ...

In my experience, the game can crash anytime something happens that cuts it off from its active display. Sleep, hibernate, disconnecting the monitor cable, whatever. It can't write to the display it was told to, it throws an error, Factorio crashes.

Though if you really need to hibernate while ...

Simplest compromise I can think of would be to add "snap to ghost" as an option. Same behavior as now when it's off, automagically center the item in your hand over the nearest (to the cursor) ghost of the same type (respecting placement range and ghost rotation) when it's on.

I've got a few ideas, but I want to make sure I'm clear on the constraints:

- A pulse of negative 'I' should be sent when a train departs the station
- The amount of signal I doesn't matter, so long as it's negative
- The pulse should be sent within five ticks of the train departing, and last no ...

One other usage of planteble trees is an indestructible anti-biter fence.
Since biters don't harm trees, you could surround a base or an important building with trees and prevent biter attacks.
That feature would be balanced by the fact that trees need significant time to grow and can die out from ...

Looks more like a 25-pin parallel cable to me.

Mods, generally.

The command removes all pollution currently on the map and disables all pollution calculations.

Sounds like it's more the amount of things on screen than the smog itself causing a problem. Should be easy to verify:

- Load a map where you experience the issue
- Run the following command to disable pollution: /c for _, surface in pairs(game.surfaces) do
surface.clear_pollution()
end
game.map ...

I'll say "No, because I hate the Game+ trend".
What are you talking about? There are maybe 3 games in total that even have something like that.


TVTropes can think of about a hundred .

For what it's worth, I'd like to see something like one of the following:

- A "genesis device" technology ...

I haven't dug too deep into the map generation code, but something stands out to me:
- Resources are generated by taking a noise function, transforming it, and placing resources around the peaks.
- Water is generated by taking a noise function, transforming it, and placing water in the valleys.

So ...

Addressing these in order:

1. Logo on pause menu + quicksave
A dedicated quicksave button and/or hotkey is almost never a bad idea. As for the logo needing to be on the game menu, I'll reserve judgement until I see what the menu looks like post-GUI-update.

2. Unique turret indicators
Useful, but ...

That, and belt-only solutions don't require power (and won't stop if power is interrupted)
