Hi Factorio-Team,
the tip of a lightning rod clips through the railing of a rail ramp, see attached image.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Place Lightning Rod
2. Exactly one tile above the lightning rod, place a rail ramp, so that the lightning rod is on the same x-tile as ...

Today, 6 years ago I bought it. Best Steam purchase ever

Thank you!

Now it totally makes sense. I've allready read the energy/work thread in the Wiki, but forgot about it. Nevermind, thank you for your quick response.

Where do I find the production time of each product in the game files of Factorio?

I want to make a ratio calculator myself and need the production time of the items, but can't find them. I've found in recipe.lua the ingredients and the amount each item needs, the time is neither in item.lua nor ...

Which would be a nice addition to the game btw!

The Beacon looks like a kraken which is helping you in the factory.

Looks fancy, but in my opinion its too much detail. The Beacon is a building which is in end-game nearly everywhere so i think it has to hide a bit between the other buildings. It should set itself in the background so you can see ...

"Make Blueprint", "Make Blueprint Book", "Make Deconstruction Planner", "Make Upgrade Planner", "Toggle Personal Roboport", and "Toggle Exoskeleton" functions are now accessible via keyboard shortcuts.

The shortcut for "Make Blueprint" is set unfortunate. ALT+B opens the symbolstrip of windows. I ...

Is there a counter for official release time?


Nope.

The most exact time to count down to would be “probably next week”, so I guess you could say in a couple of hours, depending on time zone?

Anything beyond that would be pure speculation.


I expect it to be wednesday, since the last ...

These are fantastic additions for factories with lots of trains!
Now, the last thing I'm missing is the ability to set zones/segments of rails that can be set as "to avoid" by specific trains, so to reduce traffic at specific junctions (which i'm experiencing in my latest factory) :D

Isn't that ...

24 seconds for "chemical science pack"s are too much. Considering you get 3 out of "Production science pack"s and "Utility science pack"s and both only take 21 seconds. I think you should reduce it at least by 4 seconds, but it's only my opinion.

I mean, the poster does not represent actual gameplay that makes sense, but this should propably be fixed:

You said:

~0.1ms on GeForce GTX 1060.

but then wrote:

Anyway, a GTX 1060 renders a game scene like this in 1080p in 1ms. That's fast, but it means in 4K it would take 4ms

But would it not mean, that it takes 0.4 ms for a 4K game scene? Or did I miss understand it?

I couldnt update to the newest version 0.16.45.

EDIT: Updated to the newest version worked.

The standard grey GUI looks way better then a with rost or mettal designed one. As well it brings up the neutrality of the game and a smooth look.

This is art!

Personally, I would never be able to build such master piece of engeneering. Just to manage this rather chaos is incredible.
I would like to be able to build a factory like this, eventhough I think I will never be.

Great work V435000!

New concrete is always good, designing an making the factory more realistic. And it looks more realtistic then the normal one.

Nice work, new engine seems always to be a good thing.

I always build my bases without Bots (except of delivering the Player and building up the factory), just because, like you mentioned, belts are more interesting and look and feel like a real factory.
Your idea about taking out the logisticbots is, from my point, a good one. As well I think that it ...

Bugfixes are going well, nice to hear.
And, oh dear, bring back the belt-compression!

Take your time, deserve it!
Merry christmas and a happy new year!

Yes, the second map have i made. Even though it won't happen on a Computer generated map, it's a cool feature.
