I just replicated his test, and repeated it with the player character out of reach of the entities. The actual bug is that you can't mine entities from zoom-to-world map view that are within reach unless you mine a ghost first, don't release the mouse button, and drag across the entity within range....

Actual behavior: Reading LuaEntity.color with no custom color set returns nil. Setting LuaEntity.color to nil will produces a "cannot index nil value" Lua error. This means that (a) mods apparently can't set entities back to the "default" color once it has been changed, and (b) every attempt to cop...

I am working on a mod that adds a 13-tile-long locomotive entity (normal wagons are 6 tiles long with 1 tile gaps so it occupies exactly two wagons of space at a train stop). The mod itself can be found here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=18X7vrwqjzZU_ic6z54TVfcla8wPBBrMx For the minimap represen...

I was experimenting with a mod to add longer locomotives to use with vanilla rolling stock and came across this issue as well. It appears that whatever direction the train is going, the connection_distance value used is that of the wagon to the rear of the connection. For example, consider when the ...

Hey Deadlock, I finally got to the point in my playthrough where I was going to research Multiple Unit Train Control. Somehow, it looks like it's not being unlocked even though all the prerequisites are researched. I've never seen a tech stay red (unavailable) when all the prereqs are green. It does...

Klonan, is this the bug I just found where the following code causes an error when train has no stops in its schedule? local temp = train.schedule -- returns {current=1,records={}} train.schedule = temp -- throws index out of bounds error If it's different I'll post another report, but looks like yo...

This wasn't a mod causing a crash. It was a feature in the base game that mods happened to utilize, but that somehow caused unintended behavior with vanilla entities in un-modded games. I don't know why or how hard-coding the hitboxes for vanilla rails makes them less buggy than before, but the devs...

I saw my 190-hour game stopped at "7.8" in the 250h graph and didn't know what it meant. I found this bug report where it states the units are switched to Days in the 250h and 1000h views, which explains the graph. But unless you read it on the forum or sit down with a calculator, the user will not ...

Yup, since the train already reserved that block at the crossing (and is still occupying it), it has no reason to stop at the signal. If you want the track after the circuit signal to be reserved as a separate block from the earlier crossing, then you have to make it a separate block by putting a si...

In the unmodified version, the distances are all about the same, going through the stack... Exactly, stackers are only infinitely expandable if the exit is on the opposite end of the entrance, so that each path is the same length. Actually, you could try adding a second rail signal with a circuit c...

I duplicated this in 0.17.42, and found a simpler case where the bug appears. If there is only a short straight track after a diagonal crossing, the signal can be placed close to the crossing. If there is a longer straight track, the space closest to the crossing becomes invalid, even if the farther...

I agree from what you describe, it should at lest take the upper left exit. Unless something else in those tracks is preventing it from using them. Maybe try adding chain signals just before each exit off the roundabout? I know sometimes it only recalculates routes as it passes chain signals, and wh...

But clicking in the GUI sets a new destination with a new path, and I wouldn't expect it to behave the same as repathing to the same destination. The new path can even cause the train to reverse direction, so it's pretty clear that it erases all the data from the previous route when starting the new...

This is a known feature of trains running in automatic mode (will not change direction without stopping at a station or being stuck in no path for a bit iirc). In this case the train is in manual, and it does seem like a bug. Does it do the same thing while waiting at one of the stations at the end ...

I mean, it "knows" they are connected, but when you put down a signal every 2 tiles you are telling the game to look at each square separately. If you don't want it to spend time doing that, don't put so many signals down

When you say you switched to the Northeast station while in the loop, did you do that by disabling the South station of the same name via circuit network, or manually by clicking in the train schedule GUI? If it treats manual commands different from ordinary repathing, the fix might not activate in ...

Please update the post with all the information requested in viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3638

Especially the exact version number, because they have addressed some issues with train blueprint placement already.

This is an impressive corner case to find, and probably the perfect solution to implement. But what happens if the train tries to repath through an unoccupied exit to the chain block, but there is none? For example if its original path, and only unoccupied exit to the circle, was to a dead-end stati...

Renamed the character entity type and name from "player" to "character" to make it consistent with how we call/access it in all other places.

Looks like we are waiting for the API docs to be updated? I don't want to guess exactly which references were changed.

Yep, burner inserters only work with yellow belts. Not a bug.
