Re: [1.1.14] "sc" search filter in production map allows "copper cable"

I have fuzzy search disabled though. Should the description still be searched in that case?

[0.18.27] Inventory split doesn't work with artillery shells

If I have a steel chest of artillery shells and Ctrl+Right click, the entire inventory gets transferred. Other items split as expected.

Re: [MOD 0.16.x] Factorio Extended Plus

I just installed the latest version of the ExtendedPlus mods and discovered that the range of the Mk3 substations is now the same as the Mk2 substation. I assume this is a bug? If not, what's the point of the Mk3 substation now?

[0.17.55] crash when updating from 0.17.54

I installed the update using the installer and the game crashed upon reloading. However, after restarting the game seems to work fine. I'm using the FactorioExtended Plus mods, Bottleneck, Ore Eraser, Max Rate Calculator, and Flare Stack.

[0.17.18] train UI clipping

Image
I have 30 trains assigned to my copper smelter, and I noticed that when I scroll through the UI the last three stops don't show their schedules in the UI.

Re: Train build

So, people only use bidirectional for the abillity to back up out of stations. Doesn't that get a problem when multiple trains are set up to go to the same station? Not if you set up your station entry point with enough room for trains to wait, either via a stacker or careful planning of your rail ...

Re: Friday Facts #224 - Bots versus belts

I don't think bots need to be changed at all. "Belts are more fun than bots" FOR SOME. For me, I've upgraded my base over time to a 2K SPM megabase, and what keeps me coming back is the challenge of optimizing my train network to feed the beast and getting my bots to work optimally for eac...

I see this problem in my base as well. Toggling "Request from buffer chests" fixes the problem. Tedious but it works.

[0.15.32] Offshore pumps not working properly?

I created the attached reactor setup modeled on the one in ColonelWill's Mad Science world. I've noticed some weirdness with some of the offshore pumps -- while most of them are pumping 100 units of water, some only pump 20 units and some don't pump anything at all. Is this a display bug or is there...

[0.15.26] "smoke me a kipper" achievement lost on save move

I had to move my saves to another computer due to a crash, and my achievements were reset when I did so. Most of them have been updated; however, at this point, I've launched 1171 satellites but the game still has not updated the "smoke me a kipper" achievement.

[0.15.19] game crashes on startup with low memory error

I've been encountering low memory errors since 0.15.18 was released; now they are more frequent. I have 8GB of RAM on my system; I pulled up Task Manager and at the startup screen Factorio is using about 1.16GB. When I load my savefile it goes up to 2GB and then I get a crash. The memory issues seem...

I tried to use the "read train contents" option to limit the number of rails (among other things) that are put on my supply train. I ran a wire from the train stop directly to a stack inserter and set the enable condition to "rail < 500". When I tested an empty train it worked pe...
