The portable version of the game will use a different "temp\currently-playing" folder, possibly alleviating your problem.

Load the save first, and then change the settings.

I'd try using the portable .zip version, rather than the Steam or the non-Steam installer version.

This has been discussed before, and robots are UPS-lite precisely because they're stupid like this. Even more so with roboport-based robots; a robot that doesn't have enough energy to reach its destination would have to spend a lot (relatively speaking) of CPU to find a path through the roboports, a...

What you're seeing isn't "using only one roboport"; rather it's "using energy from only one roboport". Look at how the charging robots are clustered around you, and compare that to how it looks after removing one of the roboports. If you can acquire 4 or more roboports, and then ...

Do Max Rate Calculator or one of the many calculators (Factorio Lab, Factory Planner, Helmod, Recipe Book, and/or YAFC) do what you want?

This looks to me like it's probably a case of different compression settings for autosaves and manual saves.

Compare the size of the decompressed saves too, and see if the difference is closer to what you expect.

That was my first thought, but the output fluid box had already been cleaned, or possibly never had anything in the first place, depending on when the rotation happened.

I don't follow the potential interruption either. Remember that a train will never stop at the signal after a chain signal, regardless of what the other trains are doing.

Replacing no signal with a chain signal is almost always better.

Your problem is way over here; there's a rotated flotation cell at 175,-293. Building inputs and outputs count as containing their particular fluid, even when they're empty. If this happens again, keep pulling up and replacing pipes, making the small section larger and the large section smaller, unt...

This would have to be handled carefully; mods or scenarios can create or have cliffs independent of those worldgen settings, and there are mods that let you toggle the "please create cliffs on new chunks" setting partway through the game.

I'm able to get width by putting text into a `.gui.screen` label, call `.force_auto_center()`, wait a tick, get `.location.x` on the frame, then do some math. Since GUI elements are specifically per player, I'd assume that avoids the desync issue. The desync problem is that now you have access to a...

1) Can you post one of the blueprints, please?
2) Are you using MultiConcrete, the "Concrete rotates to hazard" setting of Picker Tweaks, or anything else that changes the rotation behavior of concrete?

If you want/need the smaller size of chest+loader instead of splitter, you can try Miniloader s instead. They look like loaders, but they're actually inserters, so they get all the inserter optimizations and behaviors. You'll still have the chest costs; smaller (wooden) chests should benefit both Mi...

The reason is shown in the log: If your server is public, all players must be logged in to their Factorio account.

I thought Efficiency modules used to reduce pollution, but when I look now, it just says it reduces power consumption? The pollution production of your crafting buildings is proportional to their power consumption. An electric furnace normally produces 1 pollution per minute. One with two EFF 2 mod...

I've had several problems caused by stations that are supposed to be depots, but don't have the LTN Depot signal. If you have LTN Manager and you see a stop that should be a depot listed on the Stations tab, make sure that stop has a Depot signal connected to the lamp. If that doesn't fix your probl...

The earliest use I can find is the petrochemical generator, which could be the second blue research you do, if you're inclined to arrange things that way.

I don't believe this is true. This game already has built-in layer support that would work for this.

Because the built-in layer support works so well today?

Does Range Indicators do what you want?
