Re: Pathfinding Train

This is due to the nature of the train pathfinding in Factorio. Train paths are essentially assigned a 'cost' and the cheapest one is taken. In this case, even though there is a free station the 'cost' of the train moving there is above the upper limit for a train to move there - this is done so tha...

Re: Friday Facts #223 - Reflections on 2017

My thoughts exactly. I would not be nearly as disappointed or annoyed by this change if some pipes/fluid changes had come with it. While we're at it - a total rewrite of fluids would be fantastic to be honest. Even for us experienced players half the time it seems like guess work to get any large s...

Re: 0.16.7: Boilers working intermittently, even if steam is low

Since people have repeatedly refused to believe me, I removed all mods and the issue persists: Save file is attached. This ends the debate on whether the behavior is in vanilla boilers. Loewchen, why did you move this into "Not a bug", when I have clearly demonstrated that the issue exist...

Re: Version 0.16.7

To all people complaining the end of 3-liquid wagons is the end of Factorio, the real question is : would you have missed that feature that much if it had never existed, and the fluid wagon had from start been as it is now ? You mostly miss it because you got used to it. Nothing wrong with that - l...

Re: [0.16] Disable overwriting of combinators via blueprint

I too have found this change to be extremely detrimental to working on large-scale combinator builds. TL;DR combinators should be exempt from this feature. I propose an alternative implemented: Settings for entities should only be updated if the blueprint is force-placed (ie. shift is held down). Th...

[Twinsen][0.16.3] Placing circuit wire blueprint over train signals does not work

I believe there was some discussion about how this should work in the lead up to 0.16 and I'm not 100% sure on the outcome, however I have found an inconsistency with wiring between entities on blueprint. If you have two entities that are not connected with red/green wire (such as two inserters) the...

[Rseding91] [0.16.3] Roboport connection grid error

The roboport connections shown when you mouseover a roboport used to be square and line up nicely (if roboports were lined up horizontal/parallel). I noticed that these now seem to be off with diagonal connections. Refer to the below pic for example.

Re: [0.16.0] Trains queued at occupied station not rerouting

Can we at least get an option to disable the station when a train is stopped at it? This "bugfix" breaks a lot of strategies. Although this is not a direct option in the station GUI it is rather simple to do - I connect something to the station via circuit network (usually a lamp, but eve...

There is a 1 hour timeout for entities that are marked for deconstruction - this was done for performance issues way back around v0.12.x from memory.

Re: Friday Facts #210 - Circuit connector module implementation

Love all this new high-res stuff and it's pretty awesome to see the huge amount of work that goes into every aspect of the game. One thing I do want to draw attention to is how much 'noise' the connectors and wires make on a 'grid' of lamps. Take this for example: http://i.imgur.com/90ftuUy.png Noti...

It looks like an oversight from us. Placing an entity on top should copy the settings.

I have been working on a very large smelting setup in a test world using the Creative Mode mod.
