Max zoom should be 2x

Max zoom in amount should be 2x since HD graphics will be 1:1 at that scale, instead of 3.281x that is currently allowable. Alternatively, 4x would work, but you'd need a massive resolution to even benefit from anything beyond 2x. Here's some examples of the same area: 3.281x: https://i.imgur.com/XM...

Re: [Rseding91] [15.35] [Mods] Inserter stops feeding furnace-type assembler

Issue persists in 0.16.2. https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Hexicube/Hexi_Inline_Ore_Processing Steps to reproduce: - Place a liquidator and provide crushed ore via an inserter as well as sulfuric acid, but do not extract the output. - Note: A separate issue surfaces if you place the inserter first; Th...

Assemblers should show in the UI that output blocks

A relatively simple change for new players. If the assembler has enough in all outputs to cause inserters to not want to add more items, the output slots should tint yellow. If any outputs are full, those slots should tint red instead.

Re: [0.15.35] Boiler type entities cannot eject burnt items

Thanks for the report. This is unfortunately a limitation of the game as it is currently. An entity can't have 2 output inventories that inserters will grab from meaning the boiler which already has the main fuel as output can't also have the burnt result output. I've yet to see an effective design...

[0.15.35] Boiler type entities cannot eject burnt items

The burnt item slot on boiler entities cannot be emptied via inserters, which results in such a boiler eventually backing up and stopping entirely since no other method for automating this currently exists. Fuel items provided to the boiler can still be extracted via inserters. A mod is attached whi...

RNG shouldn't be used for player-usable items/entities

TL;DR Uranium ore processing and red rocks should not have a random component, instead they should have a fixed yield. What ? Both uranium centrifuges (ore processing) and one type of red rocks have a random element to them. The centrifuge sometimes spits out U235, and the rocks give 25-50 stone+co...

[15.3] Tech tree lines sometimes misaligned by 1px

I've only noticed this issue on the Railway and Portable Solar Panel techs, and is not there for Logistics Robotics (which also has 3 follow-up techs).

As shown, the central follow-up tech icon has the connecting line shift 1 pixel to the left.

[15.2] Train Schedule Tutorial expects 30s to remain

During the tutorial you're asked to add the "wait until empty" condition. However, it explicitly checks to see if the schedule is exactly "wait for 30s or empty", and does not advance to the next step if you remove the 30s delay first (which the next step wants either way). I wou...

[0.15] Miners should balance acid with connected pipes

Currently miners only share acid with other directly touching miners, which forces players to use a specific miner layout. Not everyone wants to use this layout, and using layouts that we prefer to use forces us to connect every miner separately. Here's an example of a setup that I'd like to work wi...

[Rseding91] [15.35] [Mods] Inserter stops feeding furnace-type assembler

Note: This does not affect vanilla gameplay, since no vanilla assembling machine is both a furnace (automatic recipe selection) and uses fluids. Whenever a furnace type assembler has a fluid for the output and backs up, the inserter feeding the item part of the recipe goes asleep as normal. However,...

Re: [0.14.22] Inserter idle code causing throughput issues

use a buffer chest to fix Just noticed this. A buffer chest will not fix the problem (or if it does, it's masking the issue), as the issue isn't regarding how fast inserters can pick up items from a belt. Once again, 13 of the 15 copper cable assembler inserters function normally. Only two show the...

Why is this not considered a bug when the behaviour of inserters is incorrect? They clearly take too long to spot that an assembler needs resources, and the behaviour is inconsistent to begin with.

I'm working on a design for mass producing green circuits, which attempts to use the 15:14 productivity ratio and has a bunch of speed beacons. As a result, the copper demands are...high. All assemblers have a speed of 3. I have a row of copper cable assemblers, all demanding 6 copper per second whi...

Both desyncs were immediate, I never got to see what the map looked like before being forced to redownload endlessly.

The server has been up for at least 12 hours as far as I know, and didn't give me an issue when it was only up for 1 hour.
