Thanks so much!

The game is already collecting the information about what items are needed to build the ghosts and reports to the player what is missing. It does not process all ghosts every tick, but instead sweeps through them, so the total count is not available. However, this incomplete list is enough for the ...

Here's a reddit post about this https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/s/PWvHJrgswe

It is not about taste or being scientifically accurate, just pick whether the stars are in front of the planet or behind it, not both.

When moving around in a space platform view, the star parallax scrolls faster than the planet. This makes them seem closer than the planet which contradicts the fact they are rendered behind the planet. I am not complaining about realism, I am reporting a geometrical impossiblity implied by the ...

Place a beacon next to a captive biter spawner or another entity that is asembling-machine-like but does not accept beacons. A potential beacons field will be shown in the tooltip. Does not matter whether the beacon is powered or not nor whether it is built or just blueprinted. 07-22-2026, 13-36-52 ...

Because the setting I mentioned affects the stars in the background, not the planet.

Here's a better comparison.

It's also a very easy fix, all you have to do is change this value to a lower value like 0.1

Not a bug generally means that the game engine is doing what it was programmed to do, and there is not a Crash or otherwise Broken behaviour to be fixed. It does not mean that it is Realistic - this is a Video Game.

Good Luck!


This isn't ...

The stars render behind the planet, so they are supposed to be further away than the planet. However the parallax speed suggests they are closer to the camera than the planet. This is disorienting and clearly incorrect, how is that not considered a bug?

Anything wrong with doing it like this?
The main pipeline capacity is the capacity of all the pipes plus the passthrough fluidboxes, the input-only and output-only buffers are separate. However, the input buffers fill from the pipeline only when the fraction they are ...

Setup:
Make a space platform with some schedule traveling between planets. On one stop, have a request that is unable to be filled all at once, either by constantly depleting the requested item, or by having the supply at the planet really slow. In either case, the goal is to have a constant stream ...

Yeah, the 20 x Ice melting is very odd.

In control.lua force.technologies[tech].prototype.essential always returns false.
For example when I do /c print(game.player.force.technologies["logistic-science-pack"].prototype.essential), it prints false.

However, in the in-game prototype explorer, it shows true for the correct technologies.

I'm running into the same issue, please add an option to hide a fluid from statistics completely.

TL;DR
There are generators that generate electricity from items (burner) or fluids , but none can generate electricity directly from heat .

WHY?
I'm making a mod where I have a thermoelectric generator, but I can't just make it generate electricity from heat, because the game does not support ...

Main challenges:
- More complicated entities
- Graphics
- Sound effects
- coming up with diverse enough things

I'd like to make an overhaul mod, but I won't be able to do it alone, so I'm looking for people to work with .

Main goals:
- Not too complex in the early game
- Every playthrough is different
- New logistic challenges
- In research, more emphasis on discovery

HOW?
3 different kinds of each type ...
