I have tried twice to add the save - each time the preview window shows it properly added but it doesn't show up in the post...

None of the waypoints have any conditions - if they did then they would not be waypoints.

... the next 4 trains to arrive will always pause, the 5th one will not pause, and the 6th one will pause.

These trains all have shared orders, the waypoints are all copy-pasted from each other, each lane has the same signalling, etc...

Something strange seems to be going on.

Hi

We have;

add_autopilot_destination
autopilot_destination

and more to the point; autopilot_destinations
But why is autopilot_destinations not Read|Write array ?

Seems like a logical change that would allow for ad-hoc changes to the waypoints already set.

Cheers

... seems like a waste of effort and invites more bugs. I like the effect of a Spider with too many Exoskeletons rapidly “skidding to a stop”, both manually driven and when using Mods which add Spider Waypoints (as in the Title Post). I would be first in line to file a Bug Report if such change was made!

... stop have lower pathfinder cost regardless of priorities and the behavior would still happen. Problem in your setup is that you are using Exit waypoints which the train reaches while still being in the Enter train stop block. There is a feature to prevent rail stackers from being overfilled, which ...

I was looking at how the foundry did the sound waypoints I remember hearing in a FFF. Just to see if I could somehow piggyback off that system to do smoke (doesn't look possible).

I noticed that the base game defines an `audible_distance_modifier` on the SoundAccent s it provides, which is missing ...

Trains in Factorio have never worked this way. They don't add stations themselves as waypoints, and they don't spontaneously reverse direction.

However, you can add the station to the train schedule yourself with no leaving conditions, and ...

In Factorio 1.1 when overwriting the cutscene controller with new waypoints, if the first waypoint had `zoom = nil` then the zoom value from the previous waypoint would be used. In 2.0.11 this behavior has changed, so if the first waypoint has no zoom the camera will go way in.
I assume (and hope ...

-- access the character's opened field (using game.print so parses as valid Lua)

... call it "FHack", since DFHack is seeming like the correct architecture to follow. "Compilatron Therapist" would be the utility that lets you edit waypoints or a to-do list for the automated client. If these applications have a REST API or web interface, then that would be a great dividing line ...

I can reproduce the same error message by waiting for the code to run (including choosing waypoints), and then use /editor to add a bunch of water on/near the waypoint.

Here is a save that will reproduce the issue (game.print is called with the coordinates of the stuck unit group when it happens).

... suggestions/feedback about how I could make progress (if there is more debugging info that would be helpful). Perhaps our algorithm for choosing waypoints could try harder to find a location farther away from water, for instance.

I guess maybe an option would be to destroy the unit group, and just ...

when I set a new waypoint right around the time an autosave is triggered. The already set waypoints get discarded after the autosave finishes. If I quit the game and load the autosave the waypoints are still there

This is constantly happening to me too. Steps to reproduce: shift click to enqueue/chain waypoints for a spidertron on a map and when the autosave is triggered around the moment a next waypoint is being created the entire chain gets cancelled after the autosave finishes

After it reaches the last waypoint it returns to following the red spidertron. I grab the remote for the white ...

... I check whether the path end rail has changed since the previous tick. If it has, that's because the braking point passed a scheduled stop. I use waypoints so the trains don't brake, they just go right by, which means the recorded distance is as close as the train got before its braking point passed ...
