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...

Is there some endpoint to programmatically resolve Factorio version aliases like stable or experimental or console into firm version numbers like 1.1.74 ? I know there are these aliases on Steam but that information doesn't seem to be readily consumable by code. I'm looking to offer hosting for Swit...

If a large number of spidertrons attempt to stand in the same location, game update starts taking longer and longer. 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(...

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?

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

Currently, it seems that all entities with type "tree" are hard-locked to the "neutral" force (if placed with other forces in /editor it ends up being neutral anyways, and assigning a new value to LuaEntity.force does not work as it does for other types of entities). Is it possib...

Cheers, thanks!

Vanilla, 0.18.36, no mods, tried on both MacOS and Windows builds. This is admittedly a minor issue, and it's possible the upcoming changes to blueprints talked about in FFF-356 will render this obsolete, but here we go: It seems that at least one other user "in the wild" has run into this...

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.

Thanks, but that doesn't work either (added image + mod + save to my post above). I think that "spent fuel" spot is special for reactors and may not be something inserters know they can pull from for assembling machines.

EDIT: See replies below, this is a dupe of https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=45155. Not sure how I missed that but thanks for pointing it out. ----- I'm making a mod that makes an assembling machine of sorts, which is a burner machine that runs on uranium fuel cells. You could boi...
