Wouldn't unicode normalization solve this problem (Thinking of NFKD)? This might need a link to libicu, but should solve almost all these problems.

I'm guessing that's what Hrusa referred to here :
Out-of-the-box solutions are usually bloated to accommodate edge cases for many scripts and ...

Oh man, we added bidi text to our engine a couple years ago and it was such a pain, Mac/Win/Lin: VS Code, Notepad++, Textedit, and Sublime would tie themselves in knots when you started trying to form bidi strings, and trying to make mouse selections?

Since we don't have mods, I get the luxury of ...

Her UPS , like mine, holds steady at 60, with the occasional flicker of 59.9. Her FPS generally hovers around 60 but dips down to 15, but the show-time-usage says render is generally 4/4.5/20 and update is 5/3/7.

I used ETW and WinDebug and even when her FPS drops to 15, CPU use doesn't go above 30 ...

My wife's PC (i7-7700T 2.9G, Intel 630) plays the game fine under most conditions. 3 days ago she logged out of our home lan game and the next day Factorio was significantly slower starting up, ultra slow "Catching up..." and almost impossible to play once she entered the Lan game due to a ...

I won't implement chained deliveries from requesters because it's highly unlikely a new request is triggered with a provider nearer to a train in a requester than the depot.

Awesome - this might actually be useful to work into the intro page, because it does factor into layout design - i.e don't ...

Instead of "Comptroller" you could call it "Check LTN for work"

Now, when LTN assigns a train a schedule it might look like this:

What about having a "LTN Comptroller" station as the final destination of an LTN schedule? That could be used to (a) determine trains that just became free, (b) when you get the no-path signal you can check the station it just unloaded at for a valid demand, and cut out the trip to the depot ...

By "scan the station it just unloaded at" - I mean look at the N-1th destination in the train's schedule.

Excessive Depot Trips:
1- Oil request to T1 in LTN Depot,
2- T1 loads at "Oil Provider",
3- T1 unloads at "Oil Requester",
4- LTN reports "No fluid train found in depot"
5- T1 goes to LTN Depot,
6- After some time, the #4 request gets reissued.

From forum posts, I think this is a perf concern about ...

Yea yea, blabla, "i assume" blabla. As every other guy ever who thought that his idea was "the best solution ever"


This is referring to yourself? I'm pretty sure I haven't said or implied that.


UPS is not the holy grail for which everything else should be sacrificed. And if you have space ...

I concur with Koub. The OP suggestion is basically "I want to reduce the complexity of my factory, to reduce the complexity of my factory!".

No, "Spacing and reducing the item count as the factory is getting so much larger". But it also opens up - at the end game - new layouts and configurations ...

I mean, if I want to be lazy in my designs, Why bother adding a new item ? make assembling machines accept belts as inputs (as they can do for pipes).

Factorio - Why bother with a splitter loader inserter.jpg
Moreover, if you exclude the "moral" aspect of it, you waste a whopping full side of an ...

Doesn't have an inserter/loader component.

I'd like a late-game (e.g maybe req white science) item that combines splitter, filter and loader/inserter all into one space, so that items on either side of the belt automatically go into any valid container that is on the same side of the belt. In RL (e.g mail sorting) they implement this with a ...

Spacing and reducing the item count as the factory is getting so much larger.

All of the options on the left compact down to the 3x4 layout on the right.



(yeah, I know I screwed up on the left most one, YKWIM though)

Can't seem to get it to create a diagonal version of my blueprint for me.

- Made blueprint for 4 tracks,
- Clicked "L" on the top Stored Layout which loaded the default layout into that slot because I hadn't dropped the blueprint into my toolbar,
- Clicked read and loaded my blueprint,
- Clicked ...

The combination of increasingly complex recipes and faster belts can make some configurations get kinda ugly, and one of the things that always pops into my head when I think of belts is chutes.

We have some machines that need their input belts rebalancing, but there's not a lot of room to do it ...

If I start a new game, the recipes unlock correctly, but existing games are borked.

Updated to .54. Can't make any of the pipes any more, can't find a tech to research to unlock.

Not entirely sure what the purpose of the additional tech layer is, can you make it optional?
