Re: Change Factorio's numeric versionning system

This is how many games do it, including minecraft for example. How should they do the version numbers istead?

[0.17.5] Entities (Rails) in a blueprint can go outside the Blueprint Preview GUI

What did you do? I made a blueprint of Rails. What happened? While editing the blueprint (I wanted to remove a few rails) some rails went out of the blueprint editing window at the top or bottom and could barely or not at all be clicked. 0eNqVmN1uqkAUhd9lrqFh/oVXaU4aq6SdRNEANscY3r0oHHNo14RZl9byuTZ8G...

Re: [0.17.3] UI unresponsive to mouse

Still happens in 0.17.5
Same here. I think it happened to me 5 times now, in a save of the new campaign and a freeplay save. when it happens I usually open some GUIs run around a bit and after a few seconds it works again. I have no idea what exactly causes or fixes it.

[0.17.5] smart replaced power poles don't properly connect under specific circumstances

What did you do? I smart replaced a small power pole with a medium one. What happened? The medium power pole didn't connect to another one that was in its range (but not in the range of the small power pole that was there before). What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, bu...

Re: Friday Facts #281 - For a Few Frames More

These results look extremely promising. The highest render time I could find on the "New" benchmark was 22.62ms which would be about 44 FPS whereas with the old build the lowest FPS would be about half that. Although the integrated graphics had the low quality compression enabled, this was...

Re: Friday Facts #280 - Visual Feedback is the king

Thanks for the new toggles! The toolbar will be an awesome addition. Please make the personal roboport a 3-way toggle. On/off/self-only. With self-only in multiplayer, inventory won't empty/fill when walking by something done by another player. One thing to consider is should self-only still repair...

Re: Friday Facts #279 - Train GUI & Modern Spitter

What the gif shows about fighting enemies looks super fun! However, to me these new sprites look a bit out of place in the bland environment. I think the aliens and acid are a little too colorful, this is a very minor critique point though.

Re: Friday Facts #278 - The new quickbar

It seems to always be the case, but $nextUpdate is going to be the biggest Factorio release so far.
What happened there? is "$nextUpdate" some kind of formatting error?

Re: Friday Facts #278 - The new quickbar

Automatically turning on ghost place when construction robots/blueprints/whatever is unlocked sounds smart. Also retaining the ability to turn it on yourself in the options as well maybe (the option should be "allow ghost placing before construction robots researched") The quickbar looks ...

Re: Friday Facts #277 - GUI progress update

I generally like the style of the new GUI but I find the confirmation button being shaped like an arrow (as can be seen in the graphics settings GIF) a little irritating. It makes it seems like there is a second screen to this particular settings category. I would prefer the button to be a normal re...

Couldn't a mod pack just be an "empty" mod with dependencies?
The feature to easily download and activate all the dependencies for a mod would anyhow be welcome.
Good idea. A feature to automatically download dependencies would be very nice.

Re: Friday Facts #272 - Mod GUI

In the bottom mockup it's not entirely clear how to start the update. I guess you do it with the "update selected" button but the color throws me off. I think it would be easier to see if the button was green like other buttons that confirm an action.
