Thanks Lou, I'll check for the 2nd behavior again once the update comes out, but you're right that the fix may have improved other similar behaviors.

I can see the theoretical concern, but if this is truly a difference maker, isn't the solution just to add more firepower so that none of the asteroid types get close enough? You'd still achieve your objective of being selective to asteroid size in terms of what you throw ammo at, but you'd consume ...

I don't understand this request... if you want something to target only medium asteroids, for example, you just set the target filters to all 4 types of medium asteroids and then check "ignore non-filtered targets" or whatever that checkbox is called. does that not meet your needs? if not, how so?

TL;DR
Provide option for entities that can send their contents to the circuit network to do so with reversed polarity, to avoid the need for an arithmetic combinator for this purpose in very common automation situations, particularly where space is constrained such as on space platforms.


What ...

Ah thanks, I did try forum search, honest

As shown in the picture, when the biochamber in the orientation with the fluid inputs towards the top of the screen is flipped (mirrored), one of the input pipes is 1.) not mirrored appropriately, 2.) extends well beyond the typical extents of the bulding, and 3.) is rendered on top of the rest of ...

I also ran into this issue, where clearing the import planet filter does not stick. My example was piercing ammo, I'm able to make it from excess on Fulgora so I want to also provide that to orbiting space platforms, but if I clear the filter, it automatically goes back to Nauvis.

This can be ...

In remote view, with a blueprint book in the quick bar, and a blueprint in the quickbar that you'd like to add to the blueprint book, right-clicking the blueprint book opens it to view/edit its contents, as expected. However, when you select the blueprint on the ...

As the title states, for any entity (esp. inserters) that can have a logistic connection, in the remote view:
- Place ghost of inserter
- Begin configuring logistic connection conditions in the dialog
- Construction robot places inserter while you're interacting with logistic connection dialog ...

there are a couple things with the remote view though that are a bit strange in the ghost cursor... for the blueprint, and the deconstruction and upgrade planners, if you select the blueprint from the ghost cursor view, my expectation would be that this allows you to directly create a blueprint, use ...

As more and more information about 2.0 and Space Age gets released, it seems like it would be useful to segment the documentation on the wiki according to the game version being referenced, much like documentation for python packages for example that usually let you select the documentation version ...

Do you think my modding interface request was too narrow then? The explanation seemed to indicate that what I asked for wasn't possible, so maybe I didn't ask for exactly the right thing? I'm pretty new to this.

So after receiving a response to a modding interface request: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=221&t=67648

I'm still trying to figure out the best way to calculate an entity's (near-real-time, e.g. previous tick) power consumption. How does the game provide power consumption statistics ...

That's exactly what the game engine does to show which electric poles are connected to an entity. It entity-searches around the entity using MAX(all-electric-pole-connection-distance) for the radius and checks which ones it finds to be connected to that entity.


That's fair, I'll do that then ...

Hi,

I'm working on a mod that depends on the association between electric-poles and the entities that they are powering. Without a programmatic way to leverage the association between entities and the electric-poles that supply them, I would have to calculate the taxicab distance between the entity ...
