They are bright pink squares on the mini map. I think that if you are using a save from before 0.9 that you'll have to explore new chunks of the map for them to get generated.

If there is demand for language-specific forums I hope the devs would host them here.
there is alredy a french and russian forums:

They seem to be unnused but yea. They would get used more if they were here.

I'm part of a lot of online forums where there are many ...

Here is a comparison of steel furnace layouts using the 90 degree inserters. The bottom one seems ideal. It is 17% smaller and uses fewer steel power lines than the "normal" middle layout.

If there is demand for language-specific forums I hope the devs would host them here.

I think you also need to add 0.5 to the distance to get the coordinate's Y value.

Yes, this slipped here, fixed for 0.9.3 :)
Can we fix it editing a lua file?
Yes. It's in data/base/prototypes/recipe/recipe.lua

How come he has such nice backtraces with names, while
all linux backtraces I've seen / made are only numbers?

EDIT: I guess that's a factorio-produced crash log instead of a segfault?
That's an OSX crash log. Unless they are building with fewer debugging symbols on linux you should be able to ...

Thanks, that did it! That's what I get for copying base recipes instead of high tech recipes

I've written two mods that add new recipes and a new technology for those recipes. The technology appears as expected, unresearched, with prerequisites, and allowing the recipes in question. But the recipes are available at the start of the game. How do I stop them from being available?

Just in case you're willing to change your mind... I think sum would make more sense, in terms of realistically representing the amount of materials/pipes that were invested in the creation of the pipe to ground. One pipe to ground costs 5 pipes (two cost 10), and two of them can span 10 tiles. If ...

The game seems to expect a mod's zip file to have the same name as the mod's directory would have. This is annoying when mods have different versions available for download. For example, right now in my downloads folder I have "testingmode.zip" and "testingmode (1).zip" and "testingmode (2).zip ...

Does changing the render layer change which layer is used for collision masking? Also, what is the difference in render_layer and final_render_layer?

The loading of the game works if unzipping it

The problem is that I put the version number in the zip file name. If the zip file is named "pipe-dream.zip" then it will work.

Aha! This is the step that I was missing.

I would guess because pipes-to-ground are rotatable and normal pipes are not. Sure, but allowing a single pipe to be rotated wouldn't need to have any effect on how they behave when they have neighbors.
I don't think pipes-to-ground are what you actually want. It seems like you want normal pipes ...

It is likely that feedback on this mod will have impact on the types of pipes in the official/base game.

So the pickup position / insert position is now implemented for the 0.9.2. This will allow (among others) the 90 degree inserters. Further proposed changes can be done in the future but I am reluctant to do them now so close to the bugfix release (the further changes are not trivial). Thanks! I ...

I Would like to see them added in 9.3 ^^

I'll have a mod for them published tonight if I can come up with some artwork.

This mod adds more types of inserters to the game.

https://github.com/sparr/factorio-mod-insert-this

Features:

90 degree inserters, left and right variants. Otherwise function like normal inserters.
Long handled inserters to move items from 2 tiles away to 1 tile away and vice versa ...

I think that given the choice between two different pickup targets, an inserter should choose the one closer to its pickup location. It appears that they currently choose the one closer to the inserter itself.

I accidentally created an inserter that could pick up from its own insert location. This ...
