I'm starting a new run that is an Angel Bob run. But I just realized how unrealistic it is to "reassemble crushed stone" to plain stone.

Why even have this mechanic when you could just make the recipes that use stone, use crushed stone instead? Which would make a lot of sense too. If you want to ...

Unfortunately Nope the grid isn't part of the blueprint even if you hold shift..
I tried and it definitely didn't work.

It will record fuel but not grid items

Of course an alternative this request would be a mod that makes equipment grid items part of a blueprint....
that would solve this problem ...

Ok I guess the simplest expectation would be something like this

1) place a locomotive
2) get a stack of power sources on my cursor
3) hold some key combination and left click on the locomotive

RESULT: 1 item from the stack of power sources gets inserted into the the locomotive grid in one of the ...

Yeah I give this a serious +10000000000 also

So I have a situation where I have a grid on the normal display/ground and use that to help decide where to turn a train while laying tracks with FARL.
It has a cruise mode so I don't have to hold W down to keep moving...
So in order to deal with ...

I want to insert just 1 item into a large equipment grid.
With "distribute evenly" or maybe vanilla I can insert items and fill the grid.
But there doesn't seem to be a way to insert just a single item into the grid.

Basically this is true for Krastorio2 and Bob's for say trains and vehicles.
If ...

The game just crashed on me. I am running the latest version.

Attached is the log file

I was playing normally and ALT-Tabbed out of the game to look for a possible mod...
I guess maybe I ALT-Tabbed in the middle of saving?

I don't remember now but it's possible
Based on the logs though that's ...

I didn't realize the electronics were optional.
But yeah it would be nice if with electronics the science progression were leveled.
I guess I could try making such a mod too .... but that would be too sensible when I can just ask for one right? :P
Actually it's more a matter of not having the time ...

The complexity comes from the fact that it uses the electronic circuit board really.

lol no offense intended and maybe you're mis-remembering but the current recipe requires the 4th tier circuit board and not the 3rd.
The vanilla recipe requires the 2nd tier board out of 3 tiers (basic, advanced ...

I like the Bob mods as a whole, but I really hate the jump between red and blue science.
Yellow and Red are almost trivial but then Blue requires a rather large infrastructure be in place.
Is there a mod that levels the progression out a bit or splits it up a bit more?
Or I guess even one just ...

Setting up an oil large oil patch is a pain.

IDEA1 - a pumpjack hub
I was thinking how nice it would be if we could just place the pumpjacks
and then some central hub or station and have the pumpjacks send the oil to that hub automatically without having to lay down every single pipe connecting ...

TL;DR
When placing a blueprint, have bots prioritize deconstructing first then placing buildings

What ?
When placing a blueprint, have bots prioritize deconstructing first then placing buildings.
When you place most blueprints over uncleared areas, many or most of the bots try to place items ...

Miniloader is the cause.
Thanks for the clue

I have miniloader installed.
Is there an issue with that then?
I'll check for some updates then and see.

I was running [0.18.36]. And was having no issues or delays pasting even fairly large blue prints.
As soon as I let factorio update to this release [0.18.38]. The game started freezing for 2-3 seconds every time I place a blueprint.

I looked at the log file and do not see any errors popping up in ...

Updated to 0.17.61 then when it restarted it crashed part way through the startup process.

The log and crash dump are attached. No need to include a save since this is during start of the game and not on loading a save.
At least I hope it is the right dump, I reverted to x.60 and played for a bit ...

I tried to change Enemy Base Chance while in game under Map Settings because it seemed like I was seeing bases far far too often and changing the normal map setting was not seeming to have an effect.

The error


The mod Resource Spawner Overhaul caused a non-recoverable error.
Please report this ...

Just a bit slow in posting, I refreshed after another post and found the fix.
Awesome turn around time, thanks

This is a minor issue I've noticed with the Angel's Bio Processing mod.

One thing I've noticed now with 100's of hours playing 0.17.x is that temperate gardens don't seem to ever spawn.

I find a ton of desert gardens, and some swamp gardens, but I've never see a temperate garden.
It's listed in ...

Looks like the latest release may have broken bob's logistics along with 2 others I don't care as much about.
I did just test this and it breaks with just Bob's Logistics only.

The main error is:

Error while running setup for entity prototype "express-underground-belt" (underground-belt): next ...

Thanks yeah my math was wrong. So everything is working as expect
Lubricant is 10 heavy consumed per second rather than per 3 seconds.

thanks all for taking the time to respond.
