• Improved performance when holding blueprints.

Very nice to see! I always found it rather silly that pulling out a particularly large blueprint would destroy the framerate.

Thanks for the report. Unfortunately there is nothing that I know of to fix this, the number of slots directly effects the GUI performance and there’s nothing to do about that.


Couldn't you just skip rendering the slots that are outside the visible bounds? Unless I'm misunderstanding the nature ...

I guess the real issue then is that the Lua API doc says min_brightness affects solar power.

This is a well-known thing that's been around for years. I believe it's considered a won't fix because Wube doesn't want to make radar coverage trigger chunk generation.

I know this is already fixed for the next release, but for anyone encountering this issue in the meantime, I found that exporting and reimporting the affected blueprint fixes whatever weird crash-causing state it's in.

In-game it looks slightly "stuttery" for lack of a better term, and if I go frame-by-frame on a recording I can tell that one of the frames is displayed for twice as long, followed by a slightly bigger jump to where it should be. Looking at the sprite sheet in the game files (data/space-age/graphics ...

Can't you already do this using quality filter instead of quality transfer? And then if you need to transfer that quality you could just use 2 combinators. Unless I'm not quite understanding what you're trying to accomplish.

It transfers every blueprint from the library to your inventory, completely destroying whatever organization you had done. I can't see any reason why you would ever want to do this. Disabling it seems like the best course of action to avoid accidents, as someone (not me) lost their entire blueprint ...

Do you have equipment in the power armor?

I think a simple fix for this could be to simply prioritize sending space platform foundation, if that's possible.

I pulled out a spidertron blueprint on a space platform by accident, and at some point it caused a desync. Upon attempting to rejoin it immediately desyncs again as I don't have a chance to deselect the blueprint, so I'm effectively banned until I load a previous autosave (thankfully I've got 3 ...

Use the platform requests. A rocket will automatically launch to fulfill requests even if you insert the items manually. It's not an obvious behavior, I know, there really should be something to indicate that this happens.


I'm not sending items to a platform, I'm sending them to orbit. This ...

I ran into the same problem on one of my systems with a different distro, and didn't feel like going through the hassle of updating right then and making sure everything still worked. I was able to work around it by manually downloading a newer (precompiled) glibc version into my home directory ...

--apply-update isn't meant to be used with the full game (or headless) package, it's for applying partial update packages downloaded through the updater.factorio.com interface.

Here's an example of how to get one: https://updater.factorio.com/updater/get-download?package=core-linux_headless64&from ...

I'm not a dev, but I have a feeling this might be due to an SSL root certificate being expired, since Windows 7 no longer receives updates. The Factorio website uses Let's Encrypt, and their root certificate was renewed back in 2021. Assuming Factorio uses the Windows TLS stack, that would ...
