The mod list should be in the log, right? All that "Loading mod ..." stuff. But I doubt that makes it very easy to debug; perhaps wait and I'll post another stack trace if it crashes again.

I tripple-checked; it was a launch starting with 19 but updated to 20.

Anyway, after another 4 hours or so all seems okay...

Still got a crash on 0.15.20, after about 20 min play.
Edit: that says 0.15.19 in the log. Must be because I used the in-game updater. The next log says 0.15.20.

It should be called throughput not speed if it's written as 13.33/s etc. But better would be to write 800/min, then it's a nice round integer.

Very nice

Also I dearly miss some sophisticated storage, it can't be that the relatively early on available steel chest is already as good (storage space wise) as it gets. Cluttering whole screens with chests kind of looks dumb, at least to me. The warehouse mod is good for this. Having big storage boxes als...

Hmm, but a '<EE EE> OOO OOO' train is slow in both directions, not just when going "backwards", so definitely a bug. Besides which, this much slowdown due to air resistance is ridiculous.

I've had a few crashes lately — not reproducible exactly, but happened a couple of times after loading this save (just walking around).

Well, I've succeeded in making a nice yard with a double-ended engine moving three sets of wagons between two supply and two demand stations. Details on request (mostly hocus pocus to enable and disable stations at the right time, rather than program the whole rotation in the train schedule). Advant...

Actually, I find 42 km/h is the max speed in either direction. Moving one engine to each end fixes it (max speed > 100).

I guess that's why my fluid train is so stupidly slow :( I have a <EE EE> OOO OOO train (push/pull engine, two fluid wagons), and its top speed in one direction is 42 km/h. I'm actually using a mod which makes the capacity smaller and weight equal to a regular wagon, so I expected it to be fairly fa...

That does sound like a bug

I have no problem with Colemak myself, but then it only moves letters (relative to Qwerty). I can recommend Colemak over Dvorak if you're looking for a more comfortable keyboard layout (I tried both).

If schedules have a "jump"/"goto" condition, better to use absolute numbers (like code lines) than relative numbers (like suggested above). But just skipping a line is probably enough. I like the idea. It would make refuelling-on-demand easy, and maybe a few other things, but isn...

Additionally, rather than completely banning trains from running without a locomotive at it's front, there could be an option in the train timetable to specity a timetable entry as a shunt manovure. Trains cold then run in reverse, without a locomotive at the front, but at a vastly reduced speed. T...

Now that logistic bots are more difficult to research, there's motivation to find alternatives. logistic-boxes.jpeg This is a belt, a big loop basically, where requested items circulate around until taken. The green wires on top are there to count items on the belt; this isn't totally necessary but ...

Yes, if we have fire to kill trees, we should also be able to plant some. But: If the pollution is too high, the young trees should die. Otherwise that would be a "too easy" strategy: First burn all trees, then replant them. If you want to know anything about forests, you should know that...

These took me quite a while to get right. I think they're now 99% there. factorio-wall.jpeg The walls themselves come in three modular sections: a straight (N-S or E-W), a diagonal (NW-SE or SW-NE), and a (tiny) corner section. They are armed with ordinary turrets (here long-range version) and flame...

So is the 0.15 release fully functional? If so, this sounds great.

Wow, only 1-4 stacks per container! That's a bit hard.

Really, the stack sizes would need a lot of tweaking to be more realistic; e.g. 50 assemblers per stack? It should be more like 1 per 4 or 9 stacks. But... this is a game, after all.

I totally agree. Of course, flame turrets are kind-of a mk2 turret, if you can be bothered supplying oil to your walls. I've been using this mod for a while, and I find it quite balanced: https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Yehn/LR_Turret This one looks similar; I haven't tried it though: https://mods.fa...
