Most likely explanation is that your save file has corrupted data in it that was saved after a memory error occurred while you were playing at sone point in the past.

Run Memtest on your computer to see what the problem is. Once you fix it (say, by pulling out a bad RAM stick), there are ways that ...

This is a modded game, so the first cause to rule out is a mod or group of mods doing something dumb. SearchlightAssault is the most likely among them to manipulate tile deifnitions, try removing it and see if the error goes away.

Does the inserter find a new target if the proxy is unlinked and relinked in the same tick/event handler? The biggest hack would be linking "disabled" proxies to empty/full/0-slot script inventories to prevent inserters from getting distracted.

Seems like what you need is the ability to set a ...

Since your mod is already setting explicit targets for the inserters, it should be trivial to re-assign them when the proxy targets change. Or better still, if possible, give the proxy containers fixed targets and change the inventory selection by altering just the inserter targets.

an aimbot is kind of superfluous on its own, but something like an aimbot that automatically cycles between different weapons for higher DPS or targets specific enemies with certain weapons seems possible.


Totally possible to do within the modding framework. But you're talking about doing it ...

Simple. Use https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/classes/LuaEntity.html#get_wire_connector and https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/classes/LuaWireConnector.html#connections to identify which wire connectors belonging to other entities are connected to your entity with each type of wire. Then use ...

This seems to have broken any mods that had radially symmetric sprites marked not-rotatable. It the very least break blueprints from the Pyanodon mods with many of their tanks, but I assume it is a wider issue.

Obviously this is a correct behavior vs mod compatibility issue, so not I'm not sure ...

The falling hardware referenced in the message is your RAM, CPU, or motherboard. The game became corrupted in memory while you were playing, and the corrupted data was written to all the save files. Memtest86 is the first diagnostic to run. Only way to rescue that save file is by hexediting the file ...

This is a nice idea. Also note that for players interested in very precise calculations, mods like Rate Calculator give the ultimate solution, but in a mod.

If you want to make sure it's the same prototype no matter which mod (or both) is loaded and which was updated most recently, you can make a library mod that both mods use as a dependency.

This crash appeared on my multiplayer server. From the player who triggered it: "i think what caused it is i put a turbo underground unconfirmed on top of a belt"

It might be an interaction between belt building and the ConstructionPlannerContinued_4.0.7 mod. Sorry I don't have time to make a full ...

Neat, a recursion problem in real life! :D A thought occurs: what if Handcrafting is made Simpler to deal with Spoilables, not more complex?

What if the Handcrafting of Spoilable items is restricted to 1 Craft at a time? I think the calculated “Spoil Time” for each item would then be ...

When you look at the Factorio multiplayer system as a whole, it is a very short distance away from avionics-grade reliability and redundancy. The only thing missing is proactive error correction in some places. This happens to be the direction the developers chose to put a lot of their time and ...

It's effectively partially disabled now, except the message to the user is by spoiling the first large batch they try to hand-process. If there was a hard limit on how many spoilable items you could queue, or some sort of text warning that the result might spoil before you're done crafting then it ...

Everything gets simpler if you decide to allow loaded trains to wait at the loading stop until needed. Then you can use a generic interrupt with just one stop (unload [cargo item]). And the loading stations are the depots they return to.

I know this was a feature in 1.1 so that you could select only straight or only curved rails. Now that there are 6 flavors of rails (plus elevated), it would be really nice if a shortcut exists for "all rails".

Yes, the only generic system that seems to be officially supported is to have one interrupt dispatching empty trains from the depot to a loading station, and a second interrupt dispatching loaded trains to the unloading station of the resource it contains.

Thinking about it again, the solution ...

I think it will make much more sense if you use the Priority setting to increase the priority of the loading stops based on how few trains are already waiting loaded with that resource. That way you don't need one train for every loading stop necessarily, and you can ensure that the next empty train ...

Yes, the only generic system that seems to be officially supported is to have one interrupt dispatching empty trains from the depot to a loading station, and a second interrupt dispatching loaded trains to the unloading station of the resource it contains.

I got a bunch of X-recycling recipes removed notices on my saves. I DID save a copy after the patch. So I have before & after. Looks benign to me though. I got:

tank-machine-gun-recycling
vehicle-machine-gun-recycling
tank-flamethrower-recycling
some wirestuff-recycling.


They removed recycling ...
