I use a VPN, and IP based restrictions on other services hits me fairly often. Is this an issue you're aware of?
Though with UserID, I guess that's much more accurate anyway, so IP might be ignored? /speculation

Strange. It might be that the game runs so easily on your GPU that it can slip into a lower power mode. To test, monitor your GPU memory and core clocks before, during and after a stutter. MSI Afterburner can do this really well, and you can set the graph to show whatever values and at whatever freq...

Being able to make the night 'fully black' is really useful as part of scenarios like 'eternal night'. It also means lights are a lot more valuable. It's also a great way to hide map-borders for things like 'underground' maps.

In at least 17.79 and 18.0 the oil refinery's shadow is wrongly aligned. All shadows are pointing due east, but the oil refinery's shadow is pointing east-southeast. This is the case in at least 17.79 and 18.0 in all 4 rotations.

As I've been saying for over a year, 'first oil' has a very simple solution that is 'deadlock free' and it's available here: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Zr_simpleoil The reason for this suggestion is that 'blockage from full output' is not a concept that's tough well, if at all, to new players. Fu...

Re-checked, and I cannot manually save.

Making this setup and then placing rail signals in the white spots will allow signals to be placed. When the game saves, this causes the game to crash. Both auto-save and manual saving will crash the game. Tested on different systems to be sure. Screenshot of setup and log attatched. Normal setup, a...

Here's a save-file that's set up in editor in a fresh world. If the game is advanced 1 tick in /editor, it will do exactly what Dev-iL describes.

Here's the save-file. I re-tested it since I noticed I had mods enabled. Without mods, it does indeed work like expected. With mods, it doesn't.
Hive_mind 0.3.1
Redmew_Server_link 1.0.1
Unit_Control 0.1.21

When entering editor mode I can no longer place two pieces of cliff next to each other without forcing it with [shift] + [click]. This worked in 17.34. There's no water or objects in the way; I can place the cliff normally if no other cliff is touching it. It's also a problem with all rotations. htt...

After I told about the 64px icons, our humble overhaul projects artist just died a little bit inside.
About 1000 times to be exact.

That's why you always make resources at 2x or 4x target resolution to be prepared for future change in use. :3

For the icons, using resizing should be the default setting, with the option for using a different image and higher or lower zoom levels. One thing that you might want to keep in mind is to make sure the most important features lines up well with the pixel grid when scaled down significantly. Easies...

The sidebar becomes very narrow whenever I hover over anything, and it stays like that until I restart the game, reload the save or change the UI scale. Then it will work for a frame before it becomes narrow again. As soon as I exit the settings menu after applying a different UI scale (automatic or...

When a power generating entity is shared between two electric networks, the one that was connected first gets full priority. In the image posted, if the left-most pole gets placed first, the radars will get power, and not the inserter. If the right-most pole is placed first, the inserter will get po...

I have but one wish; guarantee one oil-spot within X tiles from spawn. I love me a world where there's much more ocean than land, but that also means it might be several thousand tiles from spawn to the nearest oil.

Yes. The fact that it doesn't 'split' is a mild annoyance. The fact that it does not follow the 'standard' for which lane to put items on is the real issue here.

The problem here is not that inserting onto splitters is different than belts, but that it's not consistent with rotation. As far as I know, blueprint mirroring is not getting implemented in vanilla because not everything works with mirroring, like rails or oil. However, this problem breaks rotation...

When inserting directly onto a splitter, the lane selected is not consistent with rotation. When inserting onto a belt facing away from the inserter, the behaviour is consistent.

One thing that would be interesting is being able to set a player's text colour separate from their 'ingame' colour. For larger multiplayer games, I don't mind people's characters being whatever colour they so choose, but I'd really like for people to have a set colour in text. Maybe a very slight t...

Then what does the line in the patchnotes mean?
Added support to change daytime [...] brightness on a per-surface basis.
