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 said....

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

[...] Hard to see even for non colorblind people

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 p...

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.

Ghost a yellow underground connection. Have a pair of blue (or red) undergrounds in inventory, whereof one is damaged. Place one of the blue undergrounds on top of the yellow underground ghost. Now you have 3 blue undergrounds.

The problem disappeared once I saved-restarted-reloaded, so I don't think a save would be useful? I will take a look at the sound instances if the problem reoccurs.

I am doing a game of the mod Warptorio 2 expansion. After some hours of play, I noticed that most sounds were not playing. Notably the warp countdown alert. This worked well on the old sound engine. Restarting Factorio fixed it - this was not necessary on the old sound engine.

But lemmings biters are not normally know for their sense of self-preservation, with e.g. single biters running straight at walls of turrets...

Mines have an activation time, after which they become invisible to enemies. When this happens, biters who were targeting the mine seems to for whatever reason run far away from the mine, instead of trying to acquire a new target.

So some time ago I made "Blueprints ignore planned upgrades" (https://forums.factorio.com/73287), where I pointed out that a blueprint copy should implement ghosted changes to the thing being copied. This was implemented by Kovarex. However, there is one other case where "ghosted"...

Minor Features

• The announcement of player death now contains GPS tag with the location.

Nice ! No more pixel hunting.

@Kyralessa

That is clearly the superior gameplay design. I am surprised they haven't implemented it already. That way you could spend even more time on this the best part of Factorio.

I think every Factorio player knows about searching for your corpse, when you are not 100% sure where it is, to reclaim your expensive powerarmor and inventory. Frustrated pixelhunting for your corpse is clearly the best part of the game, central to the Factorio experience. My suggestion is to make ...

The 1.1.15 changelog said: - Allowed to build blueprints anywhere regardless fog of war. However, this seems to be inconsistent. if I hold e.g. a single powerpole in my hand and shift-click with it in the fog of war, I get the error message "Cannot build in fog of war". But if I have a blu...

Simpler test case. It seems clear that it just considers all belts going the other way as replaceable. IMO this is a real bug.
