Practical case:

in my experience, I manage more than 30 spaceships that send items from one planet to another. Each ship sends a different item, but the condition is always the same. Right now, I must manually recreate each stop and condition for every new ship, which is tedious and error-prone ...

Previously:

Change train station already added to schedule
copy/paste individual wait conditions between stations within one schedule

Assembling Machine Entity Definition :
fluid_boxes =
{
{
production_type = "input",
pipe_picture = assembler2pipepictures(),
pipe_covers = pipecoverspictures(),
volume = 1000,
pipe_connections = {{ flow_direction="input", direction = defines.direction.north, position = {0, -1 ...

This may be hardcoded and/or calculated somewhere weird?

The closest I could find is the localization strings in data/core/locale/en/core.cfg :
[gui-space-locations]
overview=Overview
title=Space map
view=View
planet-surface-not-generated=Planet surface not generated
contains=Contains

It turns out the recycler only has 12 output slots, so only 12 out of 19 ingredients will be retrieved. The rest just disappears into nothingness.
This is not random, always the same items are missing, making quality upcycling impossible.

This behavior was previously determined to be Not a Bug ...

Data Lifecycle documentation

It is not really possible to make Data stage changes (affecting Prototypes such as Ores and Recipes) dynamically while in the Runtime stage (the game is “running”). You can use Mod Settings to selectively enable/disable recipes or make scripted changes within a mod ...

Far Reach changelog says:

Version: 2.0.2
Date: 2025-09-12

- Set default item pickup distance bonus to zero as it also affects picking up from belts.
Version: 2.0.1
Date: 2025-09-08

- Add support for item pickup distance bonus.

Take a look at the Mod Settings menu. Good Luck!

Many people, myself included attempt to do 100% achievement runs. This is usually done by deleting (Steam) achievements.

You can Download the game directly from the Factorio website, after linking your Steam purchase. The "Zip" package defaults to using a Self-Contained Data directory, so ...

Feature exists: Middle-Click to set slot filters.

Good Luck!

Do you ahve a source about how positions are stored?

The Factorio Wiki states that the Map is clamped to a size of +/- 1M tiles; which is just below 2^21(=2,097,152) Tiles total X/Y length... sub-tile precision can be handled using the remaining 11 Bits. Experimental teleporting to the map edge ...

The documentation describes current behaviour, not necessarily intended behaviour. If you want to find out whether something is intended behaviour, make a bug report.


This is an interesting angle on documentation ambiguity. It seems like it would be a lot of work for all involved to make a ...

This sounds like the Robot Attrition mod, with extra fire. :twisted:

From control.lua line 96:
bot.surface.create_entity{name = "robot-explosion", position=bot.position}


I think you can change out the robot-explosion for a Damage-generating entity like fire-flame and it will "just work ...

As an aside, if the Egyptians didn't divide their sundials into 12 sections (12 hours) and the Babylonians didn't influence them with a hexadecimal system for calculating astrologic events (60 mins and 60 seconds), we could have a "metric clock" that would be more mathematically pleasing.


Metric ...

25200 / 60 = 420 Seconds

I’m not saying this is the official reason, but it is a reason : round numbers are like, so cool, dude.

nobody (and I mean nobody) measures output, achievements, progression in game, etc. by the number of days or ticks that have passed. Everything is expressed/measured ...

If there isn't one already, someone should make a Suggestion thread asking that the "inbound rocket" condition/count be made visible in the schedule panel. It would clear up a lot of the confusion.

The setup i built is compact

I count at least 56 Heat Pipes between the closest Reactors and the farthest Heat Exchanger of your design. The blueprint I posted has a worst-case length of only 35 Heat Pipes . So while your setup may be Compact in terms of Square Footage it is a long distance for ...

Heat Exchangers work similar to the "old Fluid system", which moves Heat according to the Delta between Entities; it does not instantly move Heat from one end of the network to the other like Fluids currently do. You have a very long & winding Heat Pipe network which obstructs the Flow.
