How is the platform repaired without bots?

I can remember when the pickaxe and steel pickaxe were real entities

I would really like this feature also.

We can trigger an event when a key is pressed, so optionally triggering a different event when a key is released is surely not going to complicate the code or significantly reduce performance, is it?

The left control key has stopped working on my Linux version of factorio. Right control and capslock still work (I have capslock set to work as a control key in System Settings). Left-Control-C does the same as C while Right-Control-C goes into copy mode as it is supposed to. xmodmap -pm output is: ...

There is a "creep collector" which can be researched and made: it looks like a spade. With this in your hand you can click on the creep to collect it.

My version is designed to be built with the middle part over a lake which is filled in with landfill, leaving two narrow trenches in the middle for the water pumps. After placing the blueprint, fill in the trench and add the last two pieces of heatpipe. This can be fully remote-built and is tileable...

Thanks for your comment. The point of having five entries for "Defence" is that the train can supply several defence outposts before needing to return to the depot to reload. So if several outposts run out at the same time (eg because the artillery range increased) then we don't need to re...

So what do you guys do with all the sand in late game? Sand can be crushed to nothing in the crusher. This is a slow process, so you can speed it up by turning 10 sand into 6 quartz and then into 3 silicon which you can crush to nothing if you don't need it. I find that I need a lot of silicon for ...

There is supposed to be a recipe for the advanced assembler to smelt and craft imersium gears directly from powder, but I cannot find it.

I really like the Krastorio 2 update, which I have been playing for a while. I have a couple of comments: (1) Rocket fuel is used for more than one science and can only be made in a fuel refinary with a recipe that takes 30 seconds per single item. For evey other ingredient there is an advanced mach...

It looks like your inserters have red or green wires: check the circuit conditions. If there is no circuit condition then the inserter will not operate.

The latest Friday Facts (number 306) says: "then they are left to deal with Freeplay style attacks." However, after destroying all the biter bases there is still a small trickle of biters coming in from the West edge of the map. Is this by design, or is it something left over from the prev...

The electric furnaces in the North West corner of the map refuse to smelt iron plates. They say "Iron plate cannot be smelted": which is false. Stone and steel furnaces will smelt iron plates to steel. Also: the inserters will not pick up iron plates from the belt. The furnaces will smelt ...

After finishing the tutorial and clearing all the nests and worms, I explored and found the area in the North West which is surrounded by a wall. If you mine a wall and then replace it, it does not connect to the rest of the walls: there is a gap. Mined and replaced walls will connect with other min...

After finishing the tutorial I decided to try some turret creep to the East. This resulted in a crash: 4061.324 Error MainLoop.cpp:1184: Exception at tick 4660294: The scenario level caused a non-recoverable error. Please report this error to the scenario author. Error while running event level::on_...

I finally got round to updating to Mojave (10.14.5).
With 0.17.47 the graphics do not look quite right:

As a workaround, you can use the fact that "!" appears before any letters or digits in the search order. If you name your passenger stations starting with "!" (eg "!Taxi Stand") then they will all appear before everything else in the station list.

You might have to fiddle around a little using a waterfill mod or whatever to get the blueprint to line up with the trenches so it becomes buildable. Or manually remove the offshore pumps from the blueprint and place it without and then re-add them later when you are done with the trench. ^^ This i...

Just a small reminder: for this to be remote buildable you will need radar coverage. Is there room to add radars to the design?

This is an interesting design: can you also post the blueprint? I like that the trenches are unobstructed: there is a clear trade-off between having a smaller gap between the trenches (so needing only a narrow lake to start with) and having a design which is simple to place. Both have their advantag...
