Do I even read the changelog? No. Do I want to be first? Yes

I opened .15 and .16 and read them in-order. While reading the complete .15 changelog, I could have been first on .16. Now you're too fast for me. I should have checked this page first

Oh the grass bleeding red is a known issue? Good to know it's not just me and it will be fixed. While reading this FFF, I just realized why I didn't report it: similar bugs report I've made have always been closed as 1/0 magic, written off as "my odd linux setup" (a completely standard Deb...

Delivering the downloads with a CDN would be better / easier. They already to that as far as I can tell. Torrents have an negative image So let's use it for a legitimate purpose instead of just complaining that people think it's bad technology! Fun fact: Facebook uses (used?) it for distributing up...

Yeah, so some people can make a fortune with BTT ... or not

What's a BTT? If you mean BitTorrent Tracker, how would I use that to make a fortune?

Wouldn't it make a lot of sense to distribute the files as torrents? Then: - The file is automatically split up (and re-assembled, you don't even notice it) into blocks of a few hundred kilobytes - As soon as you got one block, you can start spreading it to others - They can start spreading those to...

Combining both replies, this code works in 0.16.51: /c game.surfaces[1].create_entity{ name="infinity-chest", position={game.player.position.x+1, game.player.position.y+1}, force=game.player.force}.set_infinity_filter(1,{index=1,name="iron-plate",count=50}) (Nexela's answer gives...

Can I assume that next Monday, the 25th would be the release of 0.17? It would be very unwise to assume it's gonna be on Monday. The thing is, we are not sitting on a thing that is ready to release, and will release it as soon as it seems to be in good enough state, so it is impossible to say exact...

Thanks for the support guys!

Now if the devs only read this board

Can we also add names to our logistic networks?

I've thought about suggesting that as solution, but I would really like to just have this simple solution first. Better any solution now than a good solution in Factorio v1.20!

Frequently, things are mentioned in the Factorio Friday Facts which would be nice to look up later. I wrote a small webpage which searches the posts: http://lgms.nl/p/factorio/fff-search.html An example would be if you want to know what this sprite atlas option does, which was explained in FFFs: htt...

Nah, gmail is enough of a monopoly that it cannot have a spam problem: it just drops everything into the spambox unless the sender uses one of a handful of mail servers (such as gmail itself, hotmail, and a few others). Did my email not arrive? Surely Google cannot do it wrong, it must be the sendin...

If disabling eye-candy is an option (sorry graphic designers), could one get away with not having a dedicated GPU without performance impact? I would also really like such an option. Currently, my game runs at about 25-28fps (so everything moves at less than 50% speed) which is a pretty big pain in...

Can we please have that [sprite atlas cache feature] as a toggle option inside the new and improved GUI? Does it improve startup speed for you? Note that you should try with a cold filesystem cache to simulate how one would usually start it. The operating system keeps anything it reads from disk (o...

is there any plans to rework this part of the UI? Im not able to see everything, stored in my network. It just goes below the screen. Making UI smaller isnt helping much - everything becomes too small. Maybe some slider to let us scroll this list or something like that? Yeah this is a bug that shou...

What I miss in most games is a "test" button in the graphics settings that renders a couple of scenes and reports the fps. Especially in games where the screen starts out empty and fast to render... Woa, killer idea here! Why fiddle with the controls and have to figure out specific settin...

TL;DR: When using many networks, it is very tedious to use the logistic networks screen's network selection menu because it takes dozens of tries to find the right network. Showing the network number as a property when hovering over a roboport would solve the issue. I use roboports extensively, and...

keys 1 to 0 :lol: Actually on a physical keyboard that makes more sense than 0-9 I know that's how it is on a physical keyboard, but when reading it like that, it really drives the point home of how weird it is to have the zero at the end. Made me smile to do a double take on the text and realize i...

Please don't hold up the 0.17 release for a GUI update.

Yeah I was thinking the same while reading the post: why wait if you can just release versions while we can already play all the other awesome stuff packed in there?

Is it a thing in Czech to write a comma before the word "that"? In German it is ("mann muß sicher sein, dass das dreht"; translated with the comma: "one should be sure, that it turns") and I see some German colleagues applying the same rule in English, where it is wrong...

The main reason it was disabled for locomotives is so a train stopping at not-the-intended-stop or anywhere that does offloading Did you see the suggestion about filter inserters?
