Opening character GUI now tanks the frame-rate. That's the only change that I've noticed.

Did something change about sound? I don't remember there being this much bass when placing, nor do I remember having to zoom out the camera to stop my ears from hurting.

The orange is burning my eyes, not a fan; I don't think one should be required to wear sunglasses to play the game.

On the oil change:


The refinery now looks weird with new basic processing, it looks impractically big. It would be better to have 2 refineries: a basic one and advanced one. The former should be small and it should have a flare stack, while an advanced one shouldn't have a flare stack, but ...

I'm not talking about masks being changed in the middle of the game, I'm talking about different kinds of tracks that have different non-intersecting collision masks.

Dynamic masks feature would be useful for making locos not hit the player while in the tunnel, but that's not necessary and not ...

A while back I was experimenting with the idea of train tunnels using invisible tracks that phase through everything to allow the pathfinder to "see" through the tunnel, for this I made the "tunnel" tracks use a special collision mask. It worked fine with everything except other rail tracks, as ...

Huh, is this a relic of a past design process? Surely the tile and the item should be named the same, to avoid confusion with mods like Closest First that rely on the consistency between the name of the entity and the item. Especially considering that stone path seems to be the odd one out: all of ...

I'm using the following script to look for ghosts of stone bricks and concrete around the player; it has no issues finding concrete ghosts, but not stone bricks.


local surface = game.player.surface
local pos=game.player.position
local size = 10
local entities = surface.find_entities({{pos.x-size ...

It looks like current approach to landfill by generating a chunk with world settings that feature no water causes the landfill to not be aware of beaches: I want to extend the beach into water, but it puts down grass instead of sand.

I'll throw in my 2 cents.

The new quickbar is based around the idea of organizing a bunch of shortcut sets to be used in various situations, kind of similar to pipeline objects in Vulkan. Unfortunately, there cannot be enough bars for every situation, which is why a rearrangement of existing quick ...

At the very least there should be a clear indication what kind of shortcut the player is dealing with, maybe a tool tip.

OK, after some testing I may have found the problem: if I put the planner onto the quickbar by clicking on the cell with planner in hand, then everything works fine, note that when I do this there is no number indicating the quantity of planners inside the inventory. However, if I middle-click on ...

I can open Deconstruction Planner GUI from my inventory screen, I can open blueprint GUI from quickbar, but I can't do the latter for the decon planner. Right-clicking on the planner simply puts it into a cursor.

EDIT: I also can't clear filters off decon planner from quickbar.
EDIT2: Actually I ...

reapersms, I, turns out, had a similar issue with Flare Stack generating recipes in a bad way. Sorry for bothering anyone here.

1.7.2 here, the issue still persists, atlas caching on/off doesn't seem to effect it.

The error message is:

Failed to load mods: The given sprite rectangle (left_top=0x0, right_bottom=32x32) is outside the actual sprite size (left_top=0x0, right_bottom=1x1).
Sprite name: __core__/graphics/entity ...

1.7.1 here, the issue persists but in a weird way: the game doesn't have any issues loading any mods until another one is added and after a restart the game demands a whole bunch of mods to be disabled. Re-enabling them one 1 by 1 works, until a certain number of them are enabled and then the story ...

featherwinglove , quit acting like you represent entire audience, I'm a part of the latter, but, as far as I am concerned, Wube only improved the connection between the game and me. For me, there were no problematic changes FFF#266 whatsoever as they all go well with my play-style that still uses a ...
