I suspect the unsupported RTL support can be greatly improved if you update the python-bidi library to a more recent version. Please consider doing that!

For a couple of years now, I've fantasized about asking Factorio devs for NDA access to the engine source.
Theoretically not impossible. People are known to have been given acces to the source. Typically, said people were well-known modders and/or those who wanted to work on features that were ...

I always wondered, and may have raised it on IRC in the past:
1) whether utilizing GPUs for computations instead of (or in addition to) graphic rendering could speed things up. It's obviously no small effort to convert parts of the code to work on a GPU, but since the team now has experience with ...

The Steam screenshots have some new content, I believe. Like the brainfruit trees from Gleba.

@raiguard
Waaaait a second - if Allegro is gone, what's stopping you from properly supporting RTL languages (Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi, ...)?

My only suggestion/request is please make this moddable, or add a system where the user can supply a config file with "pre-arranged" tracks (such as lists of integers representing sample ids). That way, players could "compose" their own tracks, share tracks, use AI to generate tracks, etc.

The color of the liquid in this pipe is different than the other liquids, and looks very similar to the color of the Holmium science pack. Does it mean liquid science packs are added?

And I wonder what's this new blue wire is :P ...

A couple of things regarding the full green belts' animation:

Wouldn't it be simpler to add a tiny "light" to the underground belt (much like the bottleneck mod) that says whether items are moving or not?
Something you guys might not have noticed due to developing on 1337 systems with RTX 6000s ...

Even if it's multiplayer, the game is written in C++, a compiled language. They can't do unsafe eval() even if they wanted to, unless they add a non-sandboxed Lua with full computer access or include a compiler to run the input, both things are hardcore attempts at engineering a vulnerability. Can ...

Regarding the number parsing... I'm surprised nobody mentioned this before, but the most interesting activity about this for me would be trying to break the game via code injection. Who knows, naybe there's a CVE lurking around the corner

Several years have passed. v2.0 is on the horizon, the development team expanded considerably, and the Arabic translation is nearing completion - is there a chance to spare some developer time to improving, if not properly fixing, RTL support?

Two of the biggest problems are:
1) the inverted ...

Am I the only one bothered by these bits of shadow?

Others have very different preferences -- I think it is because they are better able to enjoy the late game (megabases), which is not something I have enjoyed so far unfortunately. I am one of those people who would love a longer burner phase in SE :-).
You know, there are various mods if you ...

Thanks for your answers, I wrote to the developers on the Crowdin page where they translate, but no one has contacted me for over a week. Maybe I wrote it wrong or the developers don't have time? :(

Nevertheless, I have already translated more than half of the game into ...

This is the message a user sees:

You are banned in this game by authserver recommendation. To appeal contact support@factorio.com.

Literally unplayable!

For this, I implemented a simple test dependency system. The tests are executed and listed in a way, that when you get to debug and check a test, you know that all of its dependencies are already working correctly. I tried to search if others use the dependencies as well, and how they do it, and I ...

This crash report might be a false positive (that is, not really a fault of Factorio), so I'm submitting it more for archival purposes.

This happened when starting Factorio and quickly switching to a full-screen remote desktop connection (mstsc). I have to say that this only ever happened to me ...

Ok if you say so, moving to not a bug

Didn't know I had that power... I think I'd like to move some "non-bugs" to "assigned"...
