Came to make the same suggestion. It's very annoying to have to do 2 actions where you only needed 1 when coming from the original game. I second making this an interface option, like using ghosts when you don't have the item. I'm already 120 hours in on Space Age and this still annoys me.

There are a few situations where consuming ingredients when a crafting starts is very bad though. For example, suppose I want to craft just a single item, like an epic engine, but I use the Ctrl+Click shortcut to add a lot of ingredients at once to the assembler. In this case it would start crafting ...

Hey guys, I just wanted to thank the Factorio dev team for another amazing release.

Thanks to the new train stop's train limit feature I was able to massivery simplify the trains setup on my game. I'm posting this just to illustrate how much of a game changer it has been in one real game.

My play ...

Thank you guys, you're amazing. This release is truly outstanding!

I see. Thank you for the clarification.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open any blueprint
2. Click "Select new contents for the blueprint"
3. Select entities in the world
4. Do not click "Save blueprint", close it or clear the cursor

What happens: The blueprint is saved immediately after selecting the new entities, even when not clicking to ...

I have experienced the same usability problem. I have a blueprint that I have to adjust the grid size for it to tile correcly, but I don't have any visual feedback when doing that. Currently, every time I want to adjust the grid size I have to enable absolute reference point, so that I can see the ...

It is easy enough to reproduce with a new game, but here it goes. The save is at the exact moment and place, you just have to load and quickly zoom out to see the biters.

I have edited the main post with a more comprehensive description and steps to reproduce.

Hello.

In 0.18.35 when you attack their nests, biters will first gather in large swarms and then launch a full scale attack. Currently in 0.18.36 biters will all just start going directly, individually, forming lines. The game is significantly easier that way, because they don't overwhelm your ...

Oh, I see. Thank you for the clarification and sorry for the bother!

Hi.

I'm experiencing an issue where the train chooses a much worse path, like 2 to 3 times longer than the shortest.

Here in the first image you can see where I am, where I want to go and the long path that is being chosen:

I went ahead and created a mod to just restore the old sounds: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/OldTrainSounds

Thanks guys!

I'm no expert in train sounds, I was just speculating on the reason. It's a very subjective thing, but I found the old sound very familiar and pleasing, it reminded me when I used to ride the train here in my city.

I didn't know it could be modded, thanks Optera, in that case I guess I can just ...

TL;DR
Revert the use of random sound intervals for train movement made in 0.18.


What ?
I've read the changes made to sound effects in 0.18, about the addition of some random variation in timing of some sounds so they don't get too repetitive, but I don't think they should apply to trains. From ...
