I think I agree that the old Spidertron movement looks better. Works great for the Pentapods, doesn't look nearly as good on a robot. It's kind of twitchy and jerky. It's lost some of what made mechanical and cool. So regarding the twitching/jerking: that's my bad. The video I uploaded to FFF actua...

You can also share knowledge of already-scanned position between different spidertrons, to improve performance for a taskforce.

Yep! All Spidertron and Pentapod legs that have the same collision mask and bounding box will share exclusion zones. Some details might not have made it into the FFF.

Please support CTRL+Shift+Z redo for Windows and Linux as well. Not only is it a very common shortcut for redo but it is also one-handable which is very useful for a game like Factorio where you are often using the mouse in the other hand while building. We generally try to make all controls config...

I believe the remaining shadow issue is that overlapping shadows recursively darken the graphics behind them, when realistically there should only be one darker shade. You can't block more sunlight when it has all already been blocked! This is the one! And a few people have noticed other issues tha...

Pop quiz: can you spot the shadow problem I want to fix next? Inserter claw shadows don't seem to line up with the direction of the sun. If I compare the angle of the power pole shadow and the angle of the claw shadow there seems to be a mismatch. Oh no! I hadn’t noticed, but you’re right. That’ll ...

overlapping shadows?

Bingo!

Thanks for the videos! This definitely look like some form of screen tearing. Regarding upgrading your own machine, feel free to do as you see fit. It would be interesting for me to learn whether or not an OS upgrade fixes the problem. Otherwise, it may be a few weeks before you'd be able to verify ...

Hello litty, Thank you for the information you've provided so far. We did update SDL in 1.1.81, and SDL indeed changed how it implemented vsync. However, I'm still having difficulty reproducing this issue. Could you provide a little bit more information? 1. Since you are unable to record the tearing...

Thank you for the report! After looking into this, it seems that we never really brought full IME support to macOS or Linux. It also appears that the Windows implementation could use an upgrade and a unification with the other platforms. This looks like it'll be a larger project, so I'm adding it to...

Thank you for the report, looking into this now.

The "Close window" shortcut (Cmd+W) will be disabled starting from 1.1.82. Cmd+Q (Quit Factorio) and Cmd+Opt+W (Close all windows) will continue to work.

Very well. As the issue appears to be transient, we'll leave this here in pending until more information is discovered. The stack trace appears to reveal that a macOS framework threw an exception that SDL failed to handle or account for. It's possible that SDL and macOS updates will fix this permane...

Hello, is this problem still affecting you with the latest versions of macOS and Factorio? I've been unable to reproduce this problem with my own devices.

Hello, sorry to hear you are having problems with the game. More recent versions of Factorio (1.1.76+) should have fixed stack traces on Macs. Is this problem still affecting you, and if so, could you send another log file from Factorio version 1.1.76 or later?

Hey, sorry to hear you're having trouble. Is this issue still affecting you? Would you be willing to share examples of other applications open at the same time that may be triggering this crash? More recent versions of Factorio (1.1.76+) have improved stack trace reporting for crashes. If you're sti...

Hello, I'm having difficulty reproducing this. Is this a consistent crash, or did it only happen this one time? Did you close Factorio from the menu's "Exit" button, or in some other way?

I was also unable to reproduce this problem. Is this problem still affecting you? Are other applications on your machine recognising the ESC key?

I'm able to reproduce this on 1.1.76 (and 1.1.81) under specific conditions: 1. Must be the arm64 build of the game. I haven't observed the issue on x86 builds. 2. Must be the release build of the game. I haven't observed the issue on debug builds. 3. Settings > Graphics > Video memory usage must be...

Hello again Xorimuth, are you still encountering this issue? I've been unable to reproduce this problems with the latest versions of macOS with a MacBook and an iPad in sidecar. I tested both a recent version of Factorio (1.1.76) and the aforementioned one (1.1.39). I seem to recall that macOS was e...

Ok, this should be fixed in 1.1.79. I verified that the fix works using a unit test and the Lua commands you included in this post, but if your use case isn't fixed with that release, please let me know.
