Problem description:

The little flag showing the center of the blueprint snapping rectangle doesn't render if there's a roboport in the way.

It would seem the flag renders under a layer of the roboport graphic.

Steps to reproduce:


Create a blueprint of consisting only of a roboport ...

But not the point of this suggestion.

TL;DR
The linked chest cheat item does not support wire connections — it should work the same
as other chests.

What ?
Linked chests are a cheat item that allows separate chests to have the same inventory, using a 32 bit ID. It can be created in Editor mode.

Currently, wires cannot connect to ...

Thanks for the report.
None of this is a bug. Icon layers are borderline unusable except for the case in vanilla for which they were added (barrel recipes) but that's not a bug.

I am considering redesigning icon layer definitions for ...

Description

The bug manifests as a strange rendering of recipe icon generated using the icons property for layered icons.

First, when rendering on an assembler in alt-mode, the top layer isn't properly shadowed:

Second, when rendering in the crafting menu, the icon ...

I'm working on a partial conversion mod, and I need to specify changes to hundreds of recipes. Rather than working directly with the data in a tedious and error-prone fashion, it would be nice to use some tools.

Are there any modding libraries out there which would aid in that, or do I have to roll ...

Is it possible to make cliffs generate on water?

I'm playing a modded playthrough with cargo ships, water ores, and (small) island worldgen. Having to deal with cliffs/reefs when planning shipping lanes would make for an interesting challenge.

Add a button in the blueprint GUI that saves a copy to character inventory.

What?

See above. Simply, the game lacks an easy way to create a duplicate blueprint.

It is possible to add blueprints to the library and then get copies that way; this feature would be a QOL improvement when ...

Sadly, no; I do not have that specific package installed, and glxgears runs just fine on my machine.

Problem resolved!!! Seems like it was a bug introduced upstream. Another software update resolved the issue... *shrug*

After running a full apt-get upgrade I can no longer run Factorio.

TL;DR
Add a 'solar' type to the EnergySource prototype, allowing for entitties that generate free power with the same intensity curve/duty cycle pattern as vanilla solar panels.

What ?
Currently there is no way to define custom solar-powered entities without resorting to silly Lua-based ...

TL;DR

Solar isn't the best option for energy generation, especially late-game, and extant mods add new tech trees, instead of mirroring base Factorio content: efficiency research and modules.
