It would be interesting to know, why don't process each planet in a separate thread/CPU core? Already been discussed multiple times in other threads. That only works if surfaces are truly independent, and they aren't. Linked belts/chests exist, and scripts can touch anything anywhere at any time, a...

If you really want to be able to get achievements on a new game without erasing your steam ones, you can download the standalone zip version from the site. It doesn't integrate with Steam so it won't get the list from there, and unless you edit the config it has it's own achievements.dat/achievement...

1. The version of a mod should be included in a save. When the game auto installs mods to load a save, it should install the correct versions. It is in the save already, you can see them and the version in the load dialog. factorio-load.PNG You can even tell Factorio to load the exact mod version b...

Power works the way it does as an optimization. Entities never have to check the power network to perform their task, they work solely off their energy buffer. If it's full enough to cover the entire power cost, they work at 100% speed, their buffer is reduced, and then later on the power network ge...

Second.

The only things listed as using the smoke prototype by the docs are BurnerEnergySource::smoke FireFlamePrototype::smoke FluidEnergySource::smoke FluidStreamPrototype::smoke_sources GeneratorPrototype::smoke ParticleSourcePrototype::smoke ProjectilePrototype::smoke So unless you have one of those you...

** -- I'm vaguely aware of some UPS issues with creative-mod, but I'm nervous to part with it, as I run a parallel creative-save for blueprinting and design-tinkering purposes, which is kind of a medium-sized deal for a multiplayer session being planned. I may end up disabling this mod for the mult...

Already suggested a few times:

If you want to destroy all items on the ground - /c for _, item in pairs(game.player.surface.find_entities_filtered{name="item-on-ground"}) do item.destroy() end If you want to destroy only items on the ground that contain a specific item (like the alien relics): /c for _, item in pairs(ga...

Already suggested many times and can't be done since things can interact between surfaces - scripts can interact with anything anywhere at any time, and entities can have cross-surface connections.

Was one of the annoyances you found, “train stop names” in blueprints are not included by default? If you copy a station and turn it into a blueprint, that saves the train stop names but taking a new blueprint doesn’t, this is inconsistent and very annoying It'd be nice if blueprints always saved s...

The final changes to make everything function correctly took about 1 hour to write, and worked correctly the first try. That's not supposed to happen and left me with doubts. There's nothing scarier than code that works the first try, for the simple fact it's much less likely that you wrote it perf...

Equipment placement is based on the categories of the equipment and the grid - if any category is shared between them, it can fit. So basically you'd want to make a new category just for your equipment, then find all the equipment grid prototypes used in people armor and add that category to it. Sin...

I'm surprised that if a mod was loaded for this save that achievements are still working for me. Game only checks if mods are currently loaded when deciding to use the modded list, only console commands check for a flag thats permanently set. It's simpler. I've attached a version of the save that s...

You've got heavy oil pipes from refineries feeding into your crude oil system. Probably from before you switched fluids.

They're off due to no heavy oil for the cracking but their fluid boxes are still connected.

Might be some others but those I found.

I wonder how 5 filters will be displayed on inserters in alt-mode.

Presumably exactly the same way filter inserters already do it. They have 5.

Already a LOT of threads on this.

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=106742 lists a few of them.

- In FFF #377; there was an announcement between the lines "We have increased the big electric pole range to 32 to go along with this." It would be very convenient to have a roboport supply range of 64x64 instead of 50x50 So each roboport can fully cover 4 chunks. They would also align pe...

Been reported before and is a won't fix due to performance implications: viewtopic.php?f=58&t=69475&p=423264&hil ... ht#p423264

It was moved because it's not a bug. Previous versions can't load files from later versions, and that includes the achievement list. That is intended and that's how it's working.

If you want to run different versions, you can use the stand-alone zip version from the website.
