Lakes = any area which doesn't have roboport coverage. The internal rule is that a robot is not allowed to pick the same roboport for charging twice if it didn't complete any tasks during that time. If such roboport is still considered to be the best candidate, the robot will search the whole netwo...

After it will work like this: Wall has 350 health Medium asteroid hits wall wanting to do 100 damage Wall takes 33~ damage due to resistances Asteroid records "33 damage was used to damage the wall" but it didn't die so it used all 100 damage and reduces its remaining damage to 0 and dies...

Does it still happen when the machine is connected to a circuit and set to set recipes? I reported the same thing a while back in https://forums.factorio.com/118463 and there should've been a fix for this specific case in 2.0.17 (and it seemed to work in my brief testing but I didn't test it thoroug...

To add onto that, it's very strange that copper wire doesn't look anything like copper. I can understand if it's intentionally not copper-colored so colorblind people can more easily tell it apart from red and green wires, but there should at least be some middle ground where it's somewhat coppery a...

Yes, that did cover about half of what I was talking about. I mentioned that the behavior is mainly a problem when the recipe changes due to circuit control or as a blueprint parameter. 2.0.17 fixed it for circuits and it seems to work fine with blueprint parameters as of some other update since I l...

Fixed arithmetic combinator gui would allow changing not relevant checkboxes in some cases. (https://forums.factorio.com/121041) Oof, that's annoying. I was hoping decider combinators would get that behavior since it's way more convenient. I'd much rather toggle the other color when setting up a co...

What part of this behavior do you think is a bug? To me it looks like there's a 1° minimum temperature difference to transfer heat, which means the heating tower needs to be above 512° before all the heat exchangers in the screenshot can exceed 500° and make steam. Under load it will need an even hi...

I'd also like some way to get recipe time. It would probably make more sense for the selector combinator to have that as a mode like stack size and rocket capacity than for the machine itself to output it, but either way. In addition to multiplying requested ingredients by the number of times a reci...

TL;DR Autosaves should go in the same folder as the last manual save or the save the game was loaded from. What? It's easy to make a folder for manual saves, and that's great for grouping all the saves related to a certain world, session, modpack, etc. The problem is that autosaves always go in the...

+1 for this. The inability to use higher quality ingredients in place of lower quality or normal versions makes dealing with quality annoying if you're trying to make ingredients by any method other than recycling. Shoving excess in storage or recycling/destroying it feels wasteful and not quite rig...

The problem: When blueprinting or copying an Assembling Machine 2 or 3, Foundry, or Electromagnetic Plant, whether the rotation of fluid connections is copied or not depends on the selected recipe. If it has no recipe selected or a recipe that doesn't involve fluids, the rotation isn't copied. If i...

The Metals, Chemicals and Intermediates mod has an issue where it breaks several other mods any time the modlist changes (including when any mod or Factorio itself updates). The effects I've personally seen are long reach mods having their effects reset, the Creative Mode crafting category disappear...
