There is some merit in the general idea that multiple outputs = the theme of oil processing, and of course the Heavy+Gas solution is compatible with that, while being very conservative in regards to the original BOP.
Considering option 1 (solid fuel in science), it does help a bunch as solid fuel ...

The second thing that I have been considering recently would be to make BOP output heavy and gas only, no light. The point of “oil processing only feels like a complicated process if it has multiple outputs” is quite valid. This would allow to keep robots before chemical science. The argument of ...

*snip*
As for oil products, my sugesstion is to keep current science, flamer fuel and rocket fuel recipes as is, but change following:
1) Change Petroleum Gas input in Sulfur recipe for Light Oil. This, along with Solid Fuel, gives Light Oil a major resource sink, so backing up should be less of ...

Same issue here, I made a little screen recoding for you including the debug options enabled. When I am on zoomed in zoom levels in a forest I get a stuttering effect. I noticed that in the middle section behind "Sprites ... Calls: G xxx T xxx" the values for G and T behind calls can spike up to ...

I noticed a GAP appearing after I connected a new fully compressed belt to my green circuit bus. It seems that my machines are mainly pulling from the right side of the belt. Please find a screenshot below. I can provide a copy of my savegame, but I prefer to do that privately. Green circuit GAP.png ...

When starting the campaign level "Transport Belt Madness - Level 1" the following screen shows indicating to me that this level is migrated from an older version of the game:

Just finished the NPE/Tutorial campaign. Altough I am not a new player, I though it would be good to give it a try.

Let's start with the parts I really liked:
- This bot buddy Compilatron is a really nice additon to the game. I like him better than the hovering messages we had in previous versions ...

Same here it seems to not only apply to repair packs:

I noticed that the same happens when pasting a blueprint over existing items using the new copy-paste features. Placing the blueprint holding shift does not give a floating message.

Thanks for the reply, if it's not a bug it would be a very helpfull addition. it should not be too difficult to check if the item selected by the pipette tool is on one of the active quickbars and selecting it. Anyway, thanks for the new version and I hope this addtion will make it into the game ...

When using pipette tool (key Q) to select an item it is not selected on the quickbar even if the item is there. the following screenshots show that the same item is selected once using key 7 to select the slot on the quickbar, the other time using Q.

Frst pressing 7:

Then ...

Curretnly the automatic updates do not work for me. the logfile states the following: 32.787 Factorio initialised
32.789 Info HttpSharedState.cpp:54: Downloading https://updater.factorio.com/updater/get-available-versions?username=gamestefan&token=<private>&apiVersion=2

Thanks for taking the case, however since the report I didn't have the crash again. I did have Windows and Factorio updates though. I suspect that the issue is solved magically by one of them.

Somehow after the update to 0.16.30 the game start crashing randomly at alt+tab. Usually it works without any problem and I didn't manage to reproduce the exact circumstances yet.
I can provide a save, but I prefer not to share it publicly. please PM me to request a save.
Herewith the logfile and a ...

Do you have any ideas for new scenarios, or improvements to the current ones?

Yes, It would be nice if the PvP Production Score and Oil Harvest modes would become available as single player versions. Ofcourse with all the relavant options ;). It would be nice for users that don't like joining in ...

I admit that I skipped some pages of this thread...

Personally I like buffing over nerfing anyways (same for fluid machanics and sideloading), because from a developement perspective removing/nerfing stuff has a greater potential to break existing designs and make the users unhappy. Also ...

First of all Happy New Year to all of you guys.

I noticed that when cliffs and ore patches are in the same place, somethimes the cliffs just cut off. I attached a few images and a map exchange string containing the issue. the image "Factorio Cliffs 2 map" shows the location of the issue in the ...

- add more wire colors
- add combinators with enhanced logic like a processor. possibly something like the mod factorissimo with combinators
- add combinator lights with at least 2 logics
- add "any color" to the any signals
Agree. The processor one is quite cool.

- make this mod obsolete: https ...

Why would we spend the time and sacrifice the performance to do that when the correct answer is "don't connect 2 or more roboports to the same circuit network"?

The report is based on an error in my circuit network that I didn't catch. for performance reasons I would understand that fixing this ...

Alright, I might have expected a bit more smartness... I don't think it is a huge developement effort to check if the contents of the logistic network are already taken into account.
