https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/l3ary4/expansion_confirmed/ Can't find this ""our next step is creating an expansion for it." comment. Didn't look too hard. May have been removed by wube.

And why not keep is as it is so the players have to make choices about what kind of spidertrons they want? 8-) Yes indeed. The issue is that you even if you stuff it with exoskeletons, you can only have 3 (or 5 for a limited time if you have lots of batteries). This is arguably not fast enough. Eve...

Not a mod, that was vanilla - it was changed in 0.12. It is so since beginning of the development. It has never changed. It never behaved like https://mods.factorio.com/mod/belt-overflow in vanilla, but they would overflow off the end of belts by one instead of stopping at the end of the belt.

I play on Mac, and I've had this happen a couple of times over the last 2 years. Restarting the game always solves it. Seeing as the issue is so sporadic, and the macOS user base being so small, I wouldn't expect this to get fixed.

It is very cool, although the same was the true last Friday evening before 1.1.12 was released on the Saturday. But here we are with "Resolved for next release: 30"

Such is the nature of software...

That's a good selection. I'd add:
- Even Distribution
- Shortcuts
- VehicleSnap
- Fill4Me
- Spidertron Enhancements
- Spidertron Waypoints

since background saving is to much of a overhaul for factorio as stated before in this thread i would suggest this. 1. why not allow to set a save interval like in multiplayer? i only play in multiplayer just because of this option as it is now. 2. Show a warning timer (timer maybe user defined in ...

1.1.12 is very stable. There are no bugs reported for it that will crash/corrupt a game (and only about 2 total: https://forums.factorio.com/viewforum.php?f=7). It will probably be official marked stable this week. 1.0.0 actually has many more bugs than 1.1.12 does. Also, even if it does crash, you ...

@Xorimuth: Thanks. Did not know this option/feature. I was googling for it and I found another post in this forum that mentioned that it can corrupt save files… Would like to avoid that. :) Well it is technically "experimental" and not quite fully supported. On the other hand, I think that people w...

I use Mac as well, and I think I've done this at least once. A warning would be nice.

You should enable the hidden option "Non blocking saves" which means that autosaves don't interrupt your playing and you can autosave much more frequently.

Thanks for the explanation... I'm surprised that I've never encountered this before!

Mebbe it's some issue with Safari?

Probably: it doesn’t work for me on safari either. Nbd

Well, I'm not trying to mess with BP library. I just want to modify BP picked from there as if it was a temporary.

I was sort of wrong: see https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Lua ... _blueprint

Nope. Try it.... stopped belt with wire connected-> Status: "Working".

That should probably be changed then. Even so, belts can be set by mods to be inactive: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Lua ... ity.active. This changes their status to something like "Disabled by script".

Added in 1.1.9 as LuaEntity.entity_label. Thanks!

To reproduce:
- Install a mod that defines mod settings
- Change a setting
- If you return to the mod setting page before resuming the settings will have been reset
- Only when you resume game are the settings properly saved

Editor Extensions also contains functionality for linked belts usable in game.

I'm still having this issue: macOS 11, Factorio 1.1.8 (but it has been around since at least 1.1.4) When I open the game from steam, or in Instrument Mode with steam open the Continue button is always "Join <my server name>". If I open the game up in Instrument Mode without steam open then the Cont...

So the inconsistency OP referred to is not between yellow/red underground belt, but between same/different underground belt ...

Correct. You can see the same bug(?) when placing a blue underground on a red ghost.
