Re: New train cars visualization quantity with signals & train stations

Edited for clarity (I hope), and added a better image.

Boskid, any interest in this for 1.2 while you're poking around with the train stuff?

Re: How to see beneath construction/logistic bot module icon?

Heh, it's on a multiplayer server, so if it's neither available nor my own thing built, I don't want to cancel it and mess up whatever someone else has planned.

Thanks though. I hoped I was missing something obvious, like "there's a button you can add where the roboport and alt buttons are".

How to see beneath construction/logistic bot module icon?

I feel dumb since I've been playing Factorio for many years and should be familiar enough to find where to adjust and correct this.

I can't see beneath the icon, which makes it impossible to understand what I'm looking at in alt-mode.

How to I move the icon down a bit or what is the solution ...

Re: [1.1.57] Storage chest information pushed off screen by logistics storage

I'm vaguely remembering it happening to power poles with red/green wires, but I can't remember about the different combinators. I guess anything where tons of logistics icons can exist is worth checking out.

[Klonan] [1.1.57] Storage chest information pushed off screen by logistics storage

As you can see in the screenshot (taken from a 1920x1080 display with 100% UI setting), when logistics is full of stuff, some important information is pushed off screen.
If things will inevitably get pushed off screen, it should be the logistics info--that can be found via the logistics UI window. I ...

[Genhis] [1.1.46] Inserter hand stack size missing from non-stack inserters' tooltips

I understand that the word used in the tooltip is "stack" and that could be stated as reasoning why it's not shown on non-stack inserters. However, all inserters end up moving a "stack" (up to three) in later technology research .

Various weapons also show their research-based improvements in the ...

Re: Version 1.1.43

Looking forward to this potentially improving multiplayer performance! If computational wrongs were righted, clients running the same map significantly worse on multiplayer (versus locally) might not be as big of a deal now.

Re: Version 1.1.40

I like this idea a lot.

Hopefully the system weighs griefing admins and client account longevity. I always have a fear of irresponsible admins in games who have great power--the type who cause havoc for fun or who have small-man syndrome. Both types can abuse great ban systems like this.

Ok, well, there are still features that people want, so what about also...

A feature bounty system? If enough players want a new feature and they collectively pledge an amount where a particular developer finds it worthwhile, then that dev pockets 100% of bounty once the feature is implemented ...

Re: Moving single items from stack

What about a simple scroll wheel modifier to an item held in-hand? Pick up a stack, hold shift, scroll, and it picks up or puts back items from where they were taken.

The "half of this, place in this slot, pick up half of that, right click twice" and then repeating gets tedious...especially when ...

Large trees should produce more wood

As it is, dead trees produce 2 wood, and all others, larger AND smaller than dead trees, produce 4 wood.

The rocks were once made variable, so what about having the large trees produce 6-8 wood, medium produce 4, small produce 2, and dead produce 1?

I hadn't played a game on my own from the start ...

It works on my two monitors, DVI and HDMI, but I don't have displayport to test on, which I think I recall you were using. Hopefully it's a solution for you!

Re: Windows 10 performance increasing routine causing desyncs in MP

Uh oh! Let me clarify "Windows does exactly what you're describing..."
Windows doesn't desync factorio or crash applications when priority changes. That makes no sense, but some may have inferred my statement in that way. Windows absolutely lowers priority when you alt+tab, and then performance ...

Re: Windows 10 performance increasing routine causing desyncs in MP

You can try launching the game with a higher priority. Create a shortcut and in the target field, put this (adjusted to your installation location):
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c start "Factorio" /abovenormal "C:\Program Files\Factorio\bin\x64\factorio.exe"

But, what Windows does is exactly what ...

Re: Spidertron random speed slow downs?

Really, you just need to move left/right or up/down (happens less frequently, it seems) and periodically the slowdowns happen when there's no obstacle in the way. The legs overextend, spidertron slows down, and the speedometer reflects the slow down.

game speed 0.25:

Sorry. The legs slow and stretch out as if they get stuck on something and the speedometer drops simultaneously.
