Re: What are the most impractical items in Factorio?

I found use for Destroyer robots in late game deathworld. I would first state that I don't feel like defender robots became obsolete for me when I teched into PLD. I can use both and plough through spawners at double the rate. (And also shooting an atomic bomb every so often.) But why switch over fr...

Re: Allow trains to path around blocked segments by pathing through empty stations

There is one obvious problem with OP's suggestion. If their train network is poorly designed that trains can stop in the middle of anywhere for >5 minutes, then what is preventing the train that will reroute through a station from stopping at that station. This will prevent legitimate use of that st...

Re: Smarter Armor Behavior on Quickbar

some of the rare cases, where the poster points me directly to the post he wants to be joined with :) When I searched and found the older post, I was a bit unsure if this idea is different enough to have its own post. If item spillage is holding back implementation of either of these methods to swa...

Swapping armors by shift-clicking in inventory

TL;DR Swapping the armor set being worn can be made quicker if shift clicking one in your inventory swapped them with your current armour instead of displaying error message that there is already an armour there. What ? If we shift click on an armor in the inventory, it gets equipped. However, if w...

[0.17.66] Cloning doesn't preserve the order in which objects were placed.

I was testing fluid flow rate in editor mode and its impact by the direction in which pipes are placed. Currently fluids flow faster if you place the pipes upstream to downstream. This might soon get corrected with the upcoming new fluid mechanics. However I found a related bug. The following is wha...

Re: [0.17.23] The tutorial hardlocks after first evacuation.

Today I attempted to reproduce this bug. After failing several times I found out what to do. (And sorry for the late reply) You must be touching the right side edge of the map when control is taken away from you. To do this effectively wait for compilatron to run towards the base before enetering th...

Re: [0.17.36] Campaign freeze

It seems the game freezes if you are hugging the right edge when objectives are complete.

[0.17.45] Can walk between two connected liquid storage tanks.

It is sometimes possible to walk between two connected storage tanks as in the picture below 20190607103320_1.jpg Initially I thought the tanks were not connected. However they were indeed connected. To reproduce this reliably, place 3 of the 4 storage tanks of the 2x2 grida as above. Now try walkin...

[abregado][0.17.23] The tutorial hardlocks after first evacuation.

I was trying the tutorial in 0.17.23. When I finished the first evacuation mission, the game shows a clip of aliens attacking my left behind base and then establishing their base. After this when control is returned to me, there is no engineer visible on the ground. Pressing WASD moves the camera ar...
