Re: Floating point math problems

Where 100 turns to 99.9 and you cannot obtain the last 1% ... Yea, I'm nitpicking details. I want my 1%! ... And as long as we're nitpicking, 1% of 100 is 1. Aye.

Floating point math problems

I've played enough sandbox to identify a couple times when 100 does not equal 100. Where 100 turns to 99.9 and you cannot obtain the last 1% I'm almost convinced it's due to rounding issues. I'm going to take fluid in pipes as my first example. The offshore pump doesn't push 999.9/s. Oil refineries ...

The struggle is real..

Devs - After thinking on this for well more than I should, and after putting on my fire retardant suit, I think it's time to make a suggestion I may hate myself later for voicing. I am among several others on Facebook for a Factorio group, and there's been often enough polls, posts, or comments rega...

Re: Error applying migration file when joining server

Thank you devs, Loewchen and posila You gave me enough info. I did get connected. Consider this closed issue. I found two extra files in my install that weren't in a compared to fresh .58 download. One of the two was the offended named file. Deleting, and matching what's in the fresh download allowe...

Re: Error applying migration file when joining server

I assume you screwed up your migration files. Either reinstall the game, or remove the files mentioned in the error messages from data/base/migrations until it works. I had already grabbed a fresh copy off factorio.com and retried, with the same error. The host (on Steam) had just obtained the 0.56...

Error applying migration file when joining server

Devs, I'm playing on the website download identical version # that a MP is hosting on Steam. I can see his game, I can sync mods, I can download his mod config. But after the phase where the game tells the host to save, sync, and download the map to me, and catching up (everything just shy of actual...

[0.17.5x-current] error but it works

Devs, I feel it's important to note my setup in addition to submitting the error here. On at least three computer setups, I have the website version of Factorio installed to D:\Factorio. They are not using any sort of cloud syncronization on D:\Factorio. So while you see similar data paths in the la...

Re: Rail pathing - forcing my preferred pathing

slippycheeze, Thanks for the time to respond. At the time I posted this, I had just finished with some manually controlled (constant combinator) regular signals, which blocked all trains from going through. It may have also added 1000 penalty, but prevented a train from going past it. The path itsel...

Rail pathing - forcing my preferred pathing

Greetings engineers. I am trying to create a rail segment that will prioritize a line over another, which means I should add a penalty (but not block) the other rail going in the same direction. The idea is the inner two rails on a 4-rail spot, the inner two rails are prioritized and treated as a ba...

Re: Mod updating - missed base compatability check

Rseding91, Agree completely it is a minor issue. I just saw the problem and thought it should be brought to light. I don't think it's reasonable for Factorio devs themselves to do all the work to check ..for example, if angel's mods are properly updated for an addon to angel's mods. I have seen the ...

Mod updating - missed base compatability check

Greetings. I do believe this will become an issue if not brought to light. Specific mods are not important, but the scenario is. Please let me explain, with examples. While the game itself can be kept running, and mods are updated separately from the main game, we have ourselves a race condition. Wh...

With the visual aid of the attached PNG; the right side of the new toolbar (for items like cut/copy/paste) cannot be modified. I started a sandbox environment and everything was filled.

Stockpile blueprint needed

All, I would really like a circuit-enabled buffer/stockpile blueprint. The basic idea is that a trainload (or belt) of product comes to a point and via circuit network: (A) If there is cargo in the train, to unload it and not put it back onto the train. (B) if there is an empty cargo car, load the c...

Re: angelssmelting /angelspetrochem failed to load

Very recent update to Angel's mods added that problem. Two ways to solve, both require manual edits to a mod folder contents. You'll either have to comment out the offending line, or copy a file from one .zip to the other mod. To comment out the offender, https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=...

Hey all, I'll give you a reader's digest version of my recent experience. As all who have started Angel's before, they also included bobingabout mods. Not that I couldn't get anywhere, but I was very curious where the separation between Angel and Bob's. I began by disabling Bob's so I can understand...

Blueprint creation - adding a new recipe toggle

Thank you Wube for the countless hours of time. One heck of a game. When creating a blueprint, much like the checkboxes to enable/disable tiles, train station names, etc etc - a new checkbox that will remove the set recipe on the entities being captured. I often create blueprints that are "blan...
