I am seeing a lot of replies claiming that "the" meta is strictly 12 beacon builds, and that these changes don't affect the meta. That's incorrect: if you're building big, ups-optimized bases, direct insertion is king. That requires unusual beacon layouts, with (sometimes) twelve beacons o...

I'll echo what has already been said: the tracks sound fabulous! I can't wait to get my hands on this expansion. It reminds me positively of Stellaris, which is famous for its use of a full orchestra. I bought and adore the soundtrack from that game, and I am optimistic that will be the case for Fac...

The belt stacking update looks really cool! I quite enjoyed Deadlock's stacking mod. In that mod, the stacking was in a separate 1x1 building, and that additional complexity meant a trade-off in builds about where to put the stacking (one per assembler? One at the end of a belt, before combining it ...

Update: Starting a new game yields a working tech tree. I'm able to repair my existing save (though I lose achievements) using: /c game.player.force.reset() However, I then lose achievements from the save. Does anyone know of a mod that can be used to reset the tech tree or another way to restore th...

I just started a new world, looking to play the famous Bob+Angel's combination. However, our tech tree progression appears to be stuck. We cannot research "electronics". It's missing the prerequisite tech, "solder smelting"! This appears nowhere in the tech tree. Does anyone know...

You can actually see a little white >= symbol next to the four quality dots in the first splitter. Untitled.png On the FFF, I was initially dubious but I think this will be a cool addition to the game! It's an interesting system, that you can choose to engage with a later point. I don't mind the RNG...

While this is probably related to that issue, this represents a regression in behavior that worked before the update to wires being saved in blueprints. It also affects more than just a modding interface and presents a problem in vanilla gameplay. Should this really be classified as a duplicate of a...

Just tested it. The top is an original design. The middle is when one of the buggy blueprints has new contents selected from the top, and then is pasted down. The bottom is a fresh blueprint, which doesn't seem to reproduce the bug. new-blueprint.png However, if you take that new (working) blueprint...

Not sure why the download is unavailable.

I have a blueprint I use for loading stations in Krastorio + SpaceExploration + LTN. The filter miniloaders (modded inserters) have their filters set by circuit conditions. These circuit wires are, however, inconsistently placed! In the below figure, the top-most copy of the unloading station is cor...

Exciting! Thanks Oxyd.

This is amazing! It's hard to imagine that many science packs per minute. A very cool build.

No problem, I'm happy to hear this report was useful, here's the new link. It'll expire in a week I'm afraid, but I can re-upload again if need be

Hi all, I've followed the recent bug reports on biters failing to attack with great attention, because my current multiplayer server has been suffering from larger groups of biters forming up on the southern edge of our base, and then failing to do much of anything. I saw two such bugs get fixed bef...

With the updated ghost building improvements, will we get a way to place ghost modules into buildings? As it is, the workflow is to build the building you want near you on the ground, add modules to it, then copy and paste that into position. It would be very nice if module ghosts could be placed di...

Hi, this is a minor graphical bug as far as I can tell. 1. What did you do? I clicked on a requester chest. The chest has requests set by a complicated circuit network. Requests are added to the chest as needed, and removed when the requester chest has satisfied the request. If you open a requester ...

It really made my night to see my RSS feed light up with a new FFF! So happy to read all of the upcoming changes. I always love reading about how the devs are fighting for UPS or continually perfecting new features. Speaking of, the new train-stop limits seem like they'll be a lifesaver for those no...

I first looked at this FFF on my phone, and was disappointed. The new colors looked worse than the old. But, then I booted up my PC and learned that my phone screen is really crappy. The update looks great on my PC -- I can't wait to get my hands on it!

Have you considered the merging chests mod ? You can lay down a large number of chests on either side of the track, merge them, and use stack inserters exactly as you envision. Pretty UPS friendly, since it's just a chest and inserters as usual. This way you don't have to worry about unbalanced unlo...
