In the attached save, I have ghosted 1000 iron to be delivered by construction bot to the silo. There are 1397 idle construction bots, while the iron is being delivered by 3 construction bots at a time, taking forever.

The inefficiency happens when there are machines with unfulfillable module ...

Demolishers can't destroy open gates.

Possible fix:

- only give bonus items once main item is complete.


Also possible fix: Count the ingredients as consumed for the current crafting cycle, whenever a bonus productivity item is created.

- doesn't give back item when cancel recipe like before (that could hurt player)

But please ...

Yeah, I have seen this too. There is no enemy or deconstruction request at the eternal red dot.

Dragging a smart belt on top of a ghosted belt fails to place the trailing underground.

@BlueTemplar From https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-375 : "On top of that, the quality increase can be not only one level at a time, but you can get lucky and get more steps at a time, each additional step has 10 times lower chance of happening, so for our previous examples, out of the 1000 gears ...

Smart belt sometimes places an extra underground, when dragging a belt backwards onto an existing belt to extend it. This is a new-ish bug I think.

Just to add context, the right formula is described here: 116078

I also suggest changing the example to use 4 quality1 modules, total 4% chance -> 0.4, 0.04, 0.004

I very much agree. There are two percentages in play here: %quality and %extrauplift. As you say, the formula is %quality*(%extrauplift^N-1). The current help text uses an example where %quality ...

Yup, I were going to report this too. It is flickering because the string format doesn't have 2 fixed decimals. So every 10 frames on average, 6 times per second on average, it will display one decimal less, which causes the flickering.

The release message above does say "check experimental updates in other settings", so it was a reasonable assumption.

In Factorio 1.1, it is possible to get every single achievement in one single playthrough session, without any loading or saving or other shenanigans. Example: https://www.speedrun.com/factorio/runs/me0v792z

This might be a bit obscure for most players, but I think this is quite a cool property. So ...

We spend the entire game using WASD to move in the normal, traditional way, but the second we hop into a car, that all changes for no good reason (that I can see

The car needs to be able to drive at any angle. That is not possible with the WASD-style movement used for walking. As Twinsen also ...

My Factorio crashed shortly after saving a Space Exploration multiplayer game, and going to the main menu after that.

I am not sure I agree. Can you point to a pair of flasks you think are hard to distinguish, for non-colorblind people?

On https://factorio.com/download , you write: "If you are running a server, you can use this link to always download the latest experimental version."

I just did that, and it downloaded 1.1.73. So it does not "always download the latest experimental version". There was the same problem when 1.1.72 ...

Mod is "playtime".

It is working for me too now. But did not at release. Last release I tried downloading it from 2 different computers, and both gave the old version - it is not local cache.

What I want is for the link to work on release, not at some random time after.

Oh, it works without the ghosts too. Using the same upgrade-both-sides-instantly behavior.
