TL;DR:
Renaming unique TrainStops leads to updated TrainSchedules.
Uniqueness is determined over the whole game, not the current surface.
Expectation:
Updating of TrainSchedules because of TrainStop-renaming should be checked for each surface - not for the whole game.

The described ...

Game version 1.1.50 (and probably earlier)
Mods : none/vanilla/irrelevant

I built a circuit that registers when items are taken from a chest.
When a Item is removed a negative 1-tick-pulse is created.

But under certain conditions taking an item does not create such pulse.
The condition is ...

Just a minor bug: in the Blueprint-GUI is a button to export as string.
The right action-border of this button is skewed.
There are some pixels you can move the mousecursor over the button without beeing able to activate the highlight / function of the button.

This is inconsistent with other ...

Gameversion 0.17.74, Vanilla

Testsetup:
- place a ghost of a arithmetic- or decider-combinator that has a wire from its own input to its output (like a clock)
- do not build the ghost / do not place the combinator
- delete the combinator-ghost
- press undo to restore the deleted combinator

Game 0.17.74, Vanilla

TestSetup:
- a rail-chain-signal alongside a rail.
- chain-signal is connected to the ciruit-network (green wire, see screenshot).
- output-signals are configured to be empty (with right click)
- a blueprint of this setup does not replicate the settings

Bug:
- when ...

Vanillagame. Version 0.17.60.

I can't select infinity-chests as possible upgrade option in a upgrade planner.

Since it is a "debug item" it'd be expectable that it can only be selected by drag&drop - like in the blueprint-icons.
But not even drag&drop is not applicable.

I'd expect it to work ...

If blueprints are made of ghost-trains, the trains lose their schedule.

This bug was already reported for version 0.17.12 and was to be fixed in 0.17.26 (https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=67739).
But the bug still exists.

Steps to reproducing the bug:
- place a train on rails and ...

[Game: Vanilla 0.17.12]

I have built a train and assigned a schedule. I copied this train and placed a ghost below the first one without building it.
Now I made a new blueprint of both trains.
When building the blueprint of the two trains, only the upper train has a schedule. The lower train has ...

Thanks for the response.


But I'd like to make a suggestion:
Without knowing the deeper logic of construction & entity-placement, wouldn't it be possible to check if the whole train is constructed?

Perhaps by saving the amount of connected entities.
The saved amount is compared on train-entity ...

When creating a blueprint of a train that is in automatic-mode, the recreation of this blueprint is not "switched on" after buildup is complete.

Imho the train should start movement after it is built - if this was the setting in the blueprint.

Is the topic from ff#263 (Trains in blueprints) still in the roadmap for 0.17?
or is it postponed for 0.18 / 1.0?


i like the new belt graphics. but until today i considered the backwards moving belt underground. so that the surface of the belt is even with the ground.

In 0.17, we have split this list into two, one for tile ghosts, and one for entity ghosts.

i really like the idea of splitting the lists.
isn't there already another list for modules?

and "Belt motion compensation" sounds great.

setup: connecting belts with circuit cables and disabling all options.
error description: a blueprint of this blueprint looses the disabled options and reverts to default options.

If you load a savegame that was created with game-version 0.16.39 to game version 0.16.41 rail signals that are circuit-controlled are not converted properly.
the circuit condition to close the the signal is ignored by the train.
