I created a little (silent) video how creating a 2 track blueprint series could be approached and be made to match each other.

Nice one, that demonstrates the "trick" I was trying to describe but better than words probably ever could .

Actually, maybe the Linux guys will correct me, but there doesn’t seem to be any official way to detect your process has been killed due to OOM. So this whole thing would go into “not a bug”. Maybe: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7180970/return-code-when-oom-killer-kills-a-process What could s...

There's an explanation from a developer for the behaviour here. TL;DR: it's intentional but pragmatic rather than ideal.

First of all, since it hasn't been mentioned: I recommend working in editor mode (/editor), with lab tiles so there are no obstructions. If you don't want to align to the chunk grid, I think the main "trick" to getting alignment is to build on top of and/or next to existing pieces that you...

Hopefully you have access to a steam deck, but if not I've listed major details of my install that may or may not be bug related. I did something very similar to what you described, with the same outcome, when moving from one Windows PC to another. So I don't think the problem is OS-specific and Lo...

I can't work out why this is under Modding interface requests (it's a suggestion) or in Implemented for 2.0 (maybe I missed it)...

See viewtopic.php?f=28&t=91653, which started as an identical bug report and within a merged topic you will find https://mods.factorio.com/mod/sw-recover-burnt-result.

"Py" in the context of Factorio suggests Pyanodon's mods so it's probably a good idea to rename this topic. (I'm also not sure it belongs in Technical help, but that's something for the moderators to deal with.) I think your approach can't work because Factorio doesn't seem to use stdin/st...

So clicks are queued, but releasing shift isn't queued? I'm sure I've come across input APIs where modifier keys generate no events so must be tested when the event (eg mouse button down) is processed, which sounds like may be the case in Factorio. In any case I've seen the same effect in numerous ...

I understand the process you describe but I'm not sure why you would first calculate the crude oil requirements from the heavy oil, then calculate the Petro from that crude oil and then find the crude oil for the remaining balance at the .975 ratio. As Khagan wrote, it's usually the case that petro...

Petroleum: 101 2/3 Heavy oil: 5 This is correct. PE = (.85 + .125(1-X/25)) CO This is also correct, but tells you how much petroleum gas you can get per crude oil when you use X heavy oil per AOP craft , which isn't what you want to calculate. Not a general approach but in this case, you can calcul...

+1 for getting examples of the new blueprint formatting before release.

Agreed, but a spec is worth an infinity of example blueprints.

I would like to propose a new way to deal with the player's logistical requests. Could an identical copy of the crafting window be made? where each item would appear as it is investigated and would be set to (0 - infinity) by default. The catch is that the crafting window shows things you can (poss...

You seem to expect that splitters move items from the left lane to the right lane, if the left lane isn't full and the right lane is. I think you have misunderstood. The unexpected behaviour is that the right lane of the splitter's right input has no gaps, but the right lane of its prioritised (lef...

There's also --dump-data (see Command line parameters ). Definitely useful in general, but dumping all of data.raw seems a bit excessive in this particular case where the OP is interested only in one particular property of a subset of the game's prototypes. I agree it is overkill, but the output wi...

Potential drawback: Mods that modify resistances in data-final-fixes.lua after your mod is done could falsify your results.

Instrument mode allows an instrument-after-data.lua that is guaranteed to run last.

There's also --dump-data (see Command line parameters).

And any game is a program, and since it's a program, it can cause hangups, burnouts, and anything in the computer, you don't have to tell me it's just a game they can't do it, it sounds stupid. Some games burn computers to embers.!!! No; insufficient cooling aside (and sometimes even in that case) ...

This is unfortunately how extremely long transport belts end up working. The game can only merge so many in a row before it hits the internal limit and splits the lines. When they get split the game tries to update the 'front' line first but that doesn't always work. You can work around this by for...

Same/similar: Copy/Paste Train Conditions.

Re-selecting the content of some rail blueprints shifts the global grid set in the blueprint by 2 tiles (can be X, Y, or both). This change even persists when cancelling the edit via ESC or the [X] button in the blueprint editor window. The second part is a duplicate of [0.18.38] "Select new c...
