I'd like to see some standardized labeling in the main list to differentiate between intersections where each incoming rail can or can't get to each outgoing rail.

So even if I'm using 32-bit color, there's probably still some 16-bit conversion going on during texture compression?

Based on a screenshot from someone on Discord, the #303030 -> #313031 problem seems to happen across OSes and video card brands. That points me at least a little back in the direction of a Factorio bug?

Thanks! It was 16 bit color mode. And this prompts further concern. The actual tile graphics are colors #303030 and #1b1b1b. In full color mode, in-game, they render as #313031 and #1b1b1b, so the brighter one is already wonky right there and I'd like to know why. Then in 16-bit mode, I guess I can ...

LHD 4-tile-gap 32x32 roundabout with diagonally symmetric interior. Scores 43 (47/36/47) Can't be built in RHD. Better score than anything in the top post with this spacing and footprint.

Why do lab tiles render with this weird pattern for me, when they are solid colors in the texture file and other people's screenshots?

Thanks to @Honktown#2912 on Discord for suggesting a temporary workaround to change selectable_in_game = false, to selectable_in_game = true, in the cliff prototype definition (__base__/prototypes/entity/entities.lua), or by writing a small mod to do the same, so that LuaControl.selected will intera...

Currently I need to delete cliffs and re-create them to change their orientation. It would be helpful if I could just edit the orientation and then update_connections() the entity.

Two cliffs with the same location and cliff_orientation have different size and sprite depending on which directions they connect to other cliffs. However, that connection information doesn't seem to be visible in the API. I'd like to be able to query it, perhaps as LuaEntity.cliff_connections refer...

I am trying to debug a mod that creates new cliffs based on existing cliffs. It is maddeningly difficult to identify a single cliff entity that I'm looking at. If game.player.selected recognized cliffs it would be trivial. Is there a way I can emulate this, perhaps by finding entities whose bounding...

Without checking all of them, I can confidently say this is not the interaction paradigm in tens of thousands of other gui applications with textboxes and a mouse cursor, not lease being the web browser I'm typing in right now.

Why doesn't the internal code use >41 instead of >=42? That's what I still don't understand. What would break or be inaccurate if we did that?

Thank you for helping explain how the current calculation works. That does not change the fact that the current calculation does not match the relevant game mechanics. Screenshot-2020-10-02-231810.png Notice the green signal. When the train stops in the given position, the block behind it is not occ...

The point of this bug report is that the check is faulty. The current implementation of the check reports that a rolling stock will not be entirely inside a rail block when it actually will be. I definitely don't have enough insight into the game code to understand why it's wrong, I can just see in ...

I'm not sure why you think this is not a bug. Everything you described about the internal mechanisms doesn't seem to be actually important from a player point of view. Six cars can stop in that block without causing the previous block to turn signals red, and that's what matters to me as someone lay...

Licensing restrictions prevent me from shipping a scaled down version of the sprites in question.

I would like to be able to set a scaling factor for a Sprite (or RotatedSprite) that is applied when the file is loaded rather than at render time. My use case here is to write a small mod that applies to a larger mod and causes that larger mod to load all its graphics at half (or less) resolution, ...

Could we please move the discussion of racism and terrorism to viewforum.php?f=27 ?

There's some partially outdated info on the wiki that might help with writing a launcher script and doing some directory rearrangement to come closer to compliance: https://wiki.factorio.com/Application_directory#Changing_the_user_data_directory What I think would be possible would be to move ~/.fac...
