this seems like a really bad pathfinding bug. instead of doing a simple 90° turn, the train wants to go around the whole roundabout before going in the right direction.

that seems to have fixed my problem, thanks

Whenever I start up the game, I get a notice that all my configuartions have been reset, including graphics and key mapping.

Am I the only one getting this problem?

I don't know much about those things, but I live in Germany, not Australia.

problem is, you have to log in to hit the new topic or new reply button, and I doubt my IP changed in the 20 minutes I wrote my thing

so, here I was, putting together a topic in the suggestions forum, I had a good half page written up and I wanted to see the preview to make sure everything looked right. but after I hit the preview button, I was sent to the login page and most of what I had written was gone. does this happen often ...

what I'd like to see is this: 1. power poles are JUST power poles, without cables (i.e. the recipes for poles don't include any copper) 2. placing poles consumes the same amount of cables as it would take to connect them manually 3. disconnecting power poles or single cables/wires gives back the app...

I'd like to join, too, if there's still space. I'll just send you a friend request on steam for now

why would you not like using underground belts to go "through" walls? underground belts are pretty much a requirement for an efficient factory, so they're already being used. and anyway, how often would going through a rare and random hole in the wall let you get to some destination faster...

I do like the idea of a custom factorio cursor. should have the same shape as the current one, but maybe just slightly bigger and a yellow-y orange inside with a visible outline of a very dark orange, just like the factorio logo, to give it that "factorio" feel

Look at the roadmap: An autoconfig for multiplayer games is planned. https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=678 Maybe, this is also an alternative till then: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=137&t=13327 thanks for pointing that out. I looked through the road ...

How would you plan your solar then? Carefully. They would require testing, to be sure, but what build doesn't? Except if you randomize each planet you would have to test it every single time. So? just implement a combinator that puts out the intensity of the light as a number and count the ticks it...

I want a separate launcher for activating/deactivating mods, so I don't either need to load the game twice or change the modlist.json manually to play with the mods I want. The idea is simple, and I imagine so is the coding to make this happen: make an alternative launcher, where you can toggle acti...

Now with chain signals, making a simple diamond intersection is straightforward enough for single rail applications. Diamond.png I have found an effective way to use single rail with passing sidings on maps where stone supply is initially a problem, as was mine. Chain signals were instrumental in m...

Well, the design I've been using is one i came up with myself. I'ts basically an adaptation of those old 7-segment LED displays.

Ohh, get over it! just turn the detailed view off before looking at the map and turn it back on afterwards, or just leave it off in the first place. I think, that if you don't want to see the pollution, which is understandable, as it's normally not possible to see IRL, realism is probably what you a...

My probably biggest noob mistake on my first playthrough (didn't actually finish the game) was using thin but long belt loops for the production of everything from green circuits to blue science, which, while ineffective, is very good for expanding later on...up to a point, at which even blue belt r...

@Lupoviridae, Thanks a lot, thanks to you, I now know whenever my light oil is in the decline. Now, all I need is something that tells me how much I lost or got between those comparisons

As a high level approach you can use a delay circuit and A simple comparisons (previous < current and current < previous) and a RS latch to smooth out the jitter ya know, that would probably be a fantastic piece of advice, if I knew how to do any of those, but sadly, I do not know a lot of terminol...
