Re: [2.0.15] "Unknown entity name: <null>" error importing blueprint of turret with one or more gaps in target priority

It would for sure be the most compatible for anybody who already made a blueprint in this way unknowingly

[Rseding91] [2.0.15] "Unknown entity name: <null>" error importing blueprint of turret with gaps in target priority list

Steps to reproduce: 1. Place a turret, and configure it with 3 target priorities 11-06-2024, 19-43-32.png 2.

Re: Bots grab new repair packs every time?

I did a little testing and this is definitely not assigning robots correctly, I wrote up a bug report with a demo save here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=117937&p=626530

[Genhis][2.0.11] Incorrect robot assignment for repairs if any logistics chest has repair packs

If a logistics chest somewhere in the network contains repair packs, robots will ignore closer repair packs in a roboport and fly to the chest to get repair packs instead. Attached is a save demonstrating the issue. When the wall is damaged, I expect a robot from the nearby roboport, full of repair ...

[Genhis] [2.0.11] Asteroid chunks sometimes noclip through space platforms

I know this is a minor issue, but I have a save to show it! Sometimes the tiny asteroid chunks can pass right through space platforms instead of crashing into the sides. I managed to catch it in action in a save (attached). Go look at the Razorback platform, just below the southeastern asteroid coll...

Re: Programmatically resolving version aliases like stable/console/switch into version numbers?

Thanks for that link, that's great to know about. Is it possible for that to list the console version too, or is the Switch side of the release process less automated (due to review policies / etc, no need to get detailed) and that tag is just manually updated on Steam? If not, since updates are fai...

Programmatically resolving version aliases like stable/console/switch into version numbers?

Is there some endpoint to programmatically resolve Factorio version aliases like stable or experimental or console into firm version numbers like 1.1.74 ?

[1.1.70] Poor performance when large quantities of spidertrons congregate in one location

Steps to reproduce: Spawn 1000 spiders in a 2x2 chunk area (fully paved and free of any obstructions): for i=1,1000 do local x = -32 + 64*math.random() local y = -32 + 64*math.random(...

Re: Version 1.1.46

Sub items are now removed from items used in hand-crafting.
Is this to do with equipment in equipment grids (i.e. crafting modded armor from a lower tier armor that has equipment in it that you forgot to remove), or are sub items something else?

Introducing FactorioBin - the fastest, easiest way to share your blueprint strings (alternative to Pastebin / etc)

Hey everybody! Lately, I think we all have been frustrated with the fact that Pastebin has deleted or restricted access to many Factorio blueprints, even if you are logged in. They've done this retroactively too, which means a lot of blueprints are lost forever. I really liked the simplicity of shar...

Re: Make "sync mods" button larger and more noticeable

I've heard from players who switch often between modded and unmodded saves, and are frustrated that the Load button only prompts them about specific types of mod mismatches, while the small, hard-to-miss, Sync Mods button handles all the scenarios. In particular, their pain was around accidentally l...

[kovarex] [1.1.25] Placing a map-interactible entity from map view opens entity's GUI when Drag Map is rebound.

This bug can be triggered reliably by rebinding Drag Map, which is something I know players sometimes will do in order to be able to drag an artillery remote on map view to spam-fire at dense biter nests. Steps to reproduce with a fresh install of 1.1.26 on Win64 (unzipped standalone copy of the gam...

Math time: binomial distributions in splitter pyramids, and the effects of splitter biases

Introduction I got to wondering about splitter pyramids. You know, these contraptions you might build the first time you're trying to split a belt into 6 to load into a train wagon: example.png Splitters alternate sending items right and then left. The first item arriving at a newly placed splitter...

[Rseding91] [1.0.0] enemy force's ghost entities are visible on player force's map view

entity-ghosts that belong to the enemy force are not visible to the player in the main world, but they are visible (drawn in red) in map view. I believe this changed recently, with the big 0.18.x blueprint update which started drawing ghosts in map view. It's probably the case that enemy ghosts shou...

I'm looking to build a mod that can export the map view representation of a base for a feature similar to https://factoriomaps.com I'm not looking to replicate exactly what is on a user's screen - instead, I'm looking for the underlying chunk-level imagery upon which the rest of map view's features ...

Re: [0.16.51] Inserters do not remove burnt fuel from burner assembling machines

Thanks Zavian and Darkfrei, it looks like this won't be addressed any time soon. I'll try out that modded inserter for pulling burnt fuel and see if it's something I want add as a dependency for my mod, or just give up on burner fuel for my machines.
