Re: [0.16.19] "Import string" dialog closes itself in BP library

This is still occurring in 0.16.20. I thought it would be fixed given the changelog entry, "Fixed that the cancel craft, import blueprint and blueprint book buttons didn't work." The behavior in 0.16.20 is unchanged from 0.16.19: Clicking "Import string" opens a dialog that then ...

[Rseding91] [0.16.19] "Import string" dialog closes itself in BP library

I found the first blueprint string I've wanted to import in a long time, and specifically loaded a map just to put it in my local blueprint storage. When I clicked the import button, the dialog appeared for a bit then closed itself before I could paste. Eventually I managed to open the dialog, hit C...

Starting once again on OS X 10.10.5, hope it works for the more up-to-date folks as well.

Re: [MOD 0.16] Vehicle Wagon 1.2.1

Changed the Winch to be a capsule-type item. This adds a range visualization circle, among other things, but core functionality is of course unchanged. This is clever. I like that it uses melee-type "ammo" so the winch "capsule" isn't consumed. (At least, I assume it's not consu...

Linux users, there are separate threads for your crashes. One of the following may address your issues, but let's keep this thread for the Mac crashes on startup only. (To any moderators reading this: Retitling this thread to include "on Mac OS X" in the subject would be very helpful. :)) ...

Re: [MOD 0.16] Orbital Ion Cannon 1.6.2

It's just like the Factorio team to automate things, isn't it? At any rate, I can apparently wait for a 0.16-compatible version of the original mod with spaces, due to that Mac bug making it impossible to launch my map with ion cannons on it. (It won't load in 0.16.16 due to a bug fixed in 0.16.17, ...

Re: [MOD 0.16] Orbital Ion Cannon 1.6.2

Is it really required to remove spaces from the mod filename? Having the cheat menu as a workaround is neat and all, but I haven't been able to find any announcement stating that spaces in mod filenames are no longer allowed. Where was the rule change announced? I actually wanted to be able to say m...

I have this same issue on OS X 10.10.5 using the standalone version (not through Steam). My log file (attached) is basically identical. I tried loading both with my normal mod folder (loads fine in 0.16.16) and after renaming the mod folder to "mods.disabled". Edit: Tried a fresh download ...

[Rseding91] [0.16.16] Crash on load: Check distribution state

Having seen massive improvements in UPS while loading my 0.15 map in 0.16 earlier today without mods to grab some screenshots for reddit, I thought I'd give a go at loading it for real with all the mods that have been updated for the new version so far. The list of missing mods is surprisingly short...

Change of tack with this post, from belts/bots to T-shirts. Could I suggest that you never make any more of the 'factorio gear' t-shirts. Make a new design instead. It's not as though you are short of great graphical images, from inserters to biters, so why not offer different designs each time aro...

Mod-added logistic storage chest not getting filter in GUI

Adding buffer variants of warehouses was pretty trivial, actually. Just set the `logistic_mode = "buffer"` and the GUI for filtering showed right up, same as it did for the requester type. However, one of the mod portal discussions pointed out that storage warehouses (which are basically j...

Re: Friday Facts #225 - Bots versus belts (part 2)

On the one hand, splitters gaining the ability to prioritize sides and filter items on their own is exciting and makes sense given the (admittedly assumed) in-universe internal mechanics that make them function (not the actual code mechanics). But I can't help but feel a little frustrated, again, th...
