This removed the possibility to do ghost-rail-building without the remove-obstacles, but since it seems to be almost useless, we consider it to be worth the simplification. I used this feature in literally every game. It's fantastic when you simply need to lay rail line without doubling them up. I ...

Doesn't this just force artillery? I don't see how that's a bad thing. IMHO, giving the biters a bit of siege capability to crack the player's defenses towards the end of the mid game in the form of the behemoth worms seems like a pretty good idea to me. It's really pretty much their last chance to...

Changes

• Fixed that reverse locomotive power was the same as forward.

Fun fact - IRL, this is actually true! This applies to both electric and steam driven engines.

This is probably a duplicate of this -

Thanks for the report. It's now fixed for the next version of 0.17.

Robot uprising quelled!

Actually, I'm pretty sure I was wrong there. Now I think there is something funky up with the splitters. With the following setup, I'm getting frequent mini gaps in the output belt. It sort of seems like the splitter is still doing it's thing based on the old belt speed. factorio splitter bug.png 0e...

Yes, use this mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/ModuleInserter

That mod not integrate into the upgrade planner, making the answer - no.
The mod also does not actually work, making the answer - no.

This is probably just this old thing -

See the bottom 3 posts for a fairly detailed explanation.

Just to make sure I'm not missing it -
Is there a way to make the upgrade planner put modules on an assembler that currently has none and remove all modules from an assembler that has them?

When did radar range start showing up on the minimap, and why doesnt it shos up on the megamap with a radar selected?

Since 15.0.0.

I *think* that the train that has been waiting to enter a block the longest gets priority and I think that it was that way in the 0.16 builds.

That being said, that behavior isn't always optimal. If it was, we wouldn't use stop lights on our roads!

However, the shared stone/coal belt needs to be red in that case (so that each side get a whole yellow belt of stone). In the picture it's still yellow. That's a mistake Yes, that was my point! The layout, as shown in the picture, was getting a single yellow belt of stone input so the second belt w...

... Stone bricks need two stone per craft, so it gets two stone belts instead of one

I can assure you that you are not getting any performance gain with that setup.

Are you feeding labs by taking from other labs? There is an existing issue that, last time I checked, where the devs decided not to fix it. It's basically partially consumed bottles getting merged with other partially consumed bottles. Edit: Found it. https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=48&t...

I'm pretty sure it would take console commands to work around it and that would break your achievements. I think I remember reading somewhere that there is a way to reenable achievements on a save with a hex editor, but I don't personally know the details. The way they have been patching lately, I w...

We where talking about this in the 0.17.12 release thread too. The way the pollution evolution factor setting works has changed and the value isn't migrated on old saves. See https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=67694&p=412591#p412559 and https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=67...

Loving the changes, though this will mean superdeathworld for older saves since the pollution values didnt get adjusted. Default old pollution value converted to 150 in new system, when new default is 9, meaning 16times more pollution. My evolution jumped from 30sh to 80+ in about 3hours before i n...

Tried it again trying to avoid doing some things that I thought where possible causes, but crashed again in the same spot.

Use the automatic updater if you can (check experimental updates in other settings)

Woohoo!

Updated from 0.17.8 to 0.17.9 just fine.
