Re: Friday Facts #392 - Parametrised blueprints

I don't see the point of this feature - it seems to be an added complexity that puts further menus over the top of the game that is supposed to be being played. Instead of looking at say a train stop blueprint, now I'm looking at an over complicated editor that is like a programming language that pr...

[1.1.24] inconsistent underground belt placement over ghosts

Placing ghost underground of different color over another builds both undergrounds.

Re: [1.1.22] crash getting out of train

game crashed again 2 mins in after reloading. Rolling back to previous version, this is unstable.

[1.1.22] combat / flamethrower turrets

Was streaming, can see here of https://www.twitch.tv/videos/915686527?t=00h09m50s

I'm not sure what I was doing, but it might have something to do with flamethrower turrets, as it crashed below too when flamethrower turrets started shooting.

[1.1.11] Can't ghost place anything (except blueprints) from map view

Nm, it's already fixed for the next release. Title says it all, but check out my vod from tonight's stream, 3hrs in, I'll give a link when I'm done streaming. First noticed this with belts, but a viewer asked about other stuff, and they were right, nothing but blueprints (including copy paste). Here...

Re: [1.1.8] upgrading to 1.1.8 switched save, mods folder to the %appdata%

Okay, but whichever I mentioned, I did mean the one in ./appdata/factorio/config/ was being checked first, and then once it saw that the flags were set for the exe directory and not the system directory did it then use the local files to the exe.

Re: [1.1.8] upgrading to 1.1.8 switched save, mods folder to the %appdata%

@Reseding91, it actually worked the opposite in the above case. That's why I first reported as a bug, and it got moved to troubleshoot.

In my case it checks appdata/factorio/config/config.ini before the install folder/config/config.ini

Re: [1.1.8] upgrading to 1.1.8 switched save, mods folder to the %appdata%

Clean install, nothing moved over. Changed only config-path.cfg to have "use-system-read-write-data-directories=false", but it just ignores this and still uses the appdata folder. It may seem trivial, but I like to have different versions of the game available. If they all point to the sam...

Re: [1.1.8] upgrading to 1.1.8 switched save, mods folder to the %appdata%

I re-unzipped 1.1.6 into a separate folder, and careful which files I copied over... Just went with blueprints, saves and scenarios (need it since I'm using a redmew.com's scenario) folders, it worked as it had before. But then copying the other files, player-data and config.ini, it is still working...

[1.1.8] upgrading to 1.1.8 switched save, mods folder to the %appdata%

So, I upgraded to 1.1.8 via steam (from 1.1.6) and it changed my save/mods folder from the install folder to the %appsdata%/factorio folder. I tried downgrading back to 1.1.6, or downloading a zip of 1.1.6 thinking it might be a 1.1.8 issue, but it is still trying to load from the appsdata folder, w...

Because then someone would argue you could use productivity modules to make them.

Re: Black stripes at edge of screen in zoomed-in map view

Just for the record, disabling it is literally a one-line mod. data.raw['utility-constants'].default.zoom_to_world_effect_strength = 0 You make it sound easy. I've almost no experience in modding factorio. I downloaded the test mod, added that line to settings.lua (since it seems a setting) and I g...

Please remove pixilation on zoomed/focused map view

The view of the player map when zoomed in enough for things to render, the areas around the edges are pixilated (has lines). See included screenshots. This isn't the case on the normal player view. The pixilation makes me nauseous. It really makes me ill. Please make a way to disable this 'feature.'...

Re: Black stripes at edge of screen in zoomed-in map view

This makes me cry that this is an 'intended' feature. It makes me nauseous to look at it. Why would the devs want to make the players sick? If there's a feature request to disable this, I'd sign that pledge.
