Automatic update not working for me, I am getting error "Update failed: File D:/Games/Factorio/data/../tests/mod/mod-list.json has unexpected content".
I have Win x64 0.12.4 version.

When bitters are trying to attack something that is above water, they disappear. Here is the save _autosave3.zip 1) Load the game (mods aren't needed) 2) Stand still and zoom out to max 3) Watch a group of Behemoth bitters above the character, they will attack distractor bots on the right side and a...

Is there way how can I change default item count that is requesting chest, when you copy blueprint from assembling machine to requester chest?
Something like default_request_amount, or some event that can used to alter requester slots.

Interesting, why I don't know about this feature . Anyway I did some test and this feature seems to be not affected by my mod at all. I tried find something to mod this, but I didn't find anything. I will ask in modding forum, thank you for suggestion.

Perhaps a succint solution would be to say, robots will take from your inventory, as long as you have more than 1 of the item, ie, they never take your last one. In that way, they will build from your inventory when you have the stuff, but they won't take the last one leaving you unable to place gh...

The belt change does change one major thing. You used to be able to run 3 inserters and a terminated belt line on one side of an assembler. The overflow let you have an input inserter, but the empty space kept both belts separate. Now you need a dead space to terminate one belt, which can't have an...

According to wiki, it should be possible to have 2 separate zip installations, with separate mod and saves directory. Or zip and normal installation.

But keep in mind, that you can't expect good knowledge of Factorio from new users.
Usually simple Q&A test is simple a efficient solution.

There is guide on the wiki

But, there are still some ways how you can improve performance:
- disable smoke effects
- try to use trains/drones instead of long transport belts
- don't build transport belts next to each other, leave one tile gap between them, especially long ones. (if I understand FF 82 correctly)

For the worst case I think we can think of situations, where we have for example 50 belts running in an out of a block. So we have 100 belts with each 30 items per second (blue belts), that is 3000 changes per second, each with 16 byte we have: 48 kByte per second. I think that is at the edge, but ...

Main cause is predictable bitters behavior. You know where strong defense is needed and where is no defense needed. So I think bitters need better AI to be able to go around your point-defense.

The original idea here was to simulate different chunks in different threads. However this is quite tricky to do properly - namely because overlaps and special cases. Another approach we have been thinking about recently is to do some "thematic" parallelization. Things like electric energ...

I don't think something like this is a problem.

Here is the save with broken tree which cannot be destroyed by tank. I am not sure when this exactly happend, I think it was shortly after autosave. It is the red health tree in front of the tank.

ad 2) What exactly isn't working? I tried it and seems to be working. Maybe you tried it with ipairs instead of pairs.

I agree that is more suggestion than bug report.
And nice dirty smoke will be good sign of working chemical plant .

Did you read this page on wiki? https://forums.factorio.com/wiki/inde ... it_network
I think smart inserter and smart chest connected with wire is all you need.

You can add smart inserter with filter for old bots to every roboport (or some and hope that old robots shows there any time soon ). Inserter will put robot to provider chest, then will be delivered to requester chest, upgraded to new robot and then delivered back to roboport.

I have few suggestions for you. 1) Rename data.lua to data-final-fixes.lua. This solve the issue with other mods, that are adding new resources. Like here https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=8554 2) You code is too complicated, you can simply write this: for k, v in pairs(data...
