TL;DR; Change the productivity bonus from 1x(outputs) to 1x(outputs-inputs) Details The introduction of the "Kovarex enrichment process" highlighted that the bonus calculation for productivity modules breaks when a recipe has the same item in both its inputs and outputs. Examples inputs: 4...

i remember hearing about a bug with signals that are on the very end/beginning. try moving the signal one spot closer to the oncoming train. I have seen this problem with more then one signal and curve configuration. I found this problem when working on my train control mod. https://forums.factorio...

... 2. Factorio hates roundabouts because of path recalculation bugs. Is that a fact? I tend to stick with roundabouts by virtue of a "why not?" mentallity, unless I specifically want to deny the trains the option, but I've never noticed/encountered any particular bugs. But this is a defi...

What do you mean with proper signaling at station? Why did you choose to stop if the trains are at station or signal and not immediately? You should have at least one train length of space after the exit of the station before the first rail signal. Stopping the train immediately can result in a car...

Type: Mod Name: Bird's Train Control Description: Safely Stop all trains set to automatic, then have all those trains resume automatic. Plus a train/loco count.

I'd say that matchmaking is not a good fit for factorio gameplay. Matchmaking can be great for games where there is 1) player ranking 2) short game length, less then an hour average 3) clear and definitive goals and win conditions Base Factorio does not fit any of those criteria. Finding people to p...

Hi You mentioned the GPU Is there a way to offload some of the CPU work to the GPU? Or is it not practical/beneficial in Factorio? Thank you This falls into the same category as multi-threading, while it can provide benefits it introduces massive complexity, which is bad when trying to minimize bugs.

Great Work! Its always fun and stressful time this close to a release date. Keep up the hard effort!

Trains approaching red signals on curved track sections never reach the stop point and stay in arrive_signal state. Screen shot from 0.14.22 with no mods. The middle left train is stuck in the arrive_signal state, while the middle right train is ?correctly? in the wait_signal state. http://i.imgur.c...

I have the basic mod working, will have an alpha release soon. I did find something strange, sometimes trains will not switch from defines.train_state.arrive_signal to defines.train_state.wait_signal when they are moving toward a red signal. the train speed would continue to get smaller, down past +...

you can save a global variable by using the event.tick value to run your on_tick check

Can you give an example of when the train takes the wrong path? The image in the OP shows a scenario where the trail will chose the path through the bypass station, because it is shorter, rather then the upper route which would be considered more desirable especially in more complex layouts. Curren...

I'm working on a mod that gives the player the option to safely stop all trains via a gui. This works by switching trains to manual control only when the train is stopped at a signal or at a train station. This ensures the player can shut down large train networks without having trains stopping in u...

Is there an event for when a train schedule is modified. was testing on_train_changed_state and it seems to be triggered only when changing between manual and automatic.

Maybe..

If LuaTrain.Station is set, Calculate the distance between the front_movers{1}.position, back_movers{1}.position, and the station.position, the one with the shortest distance is the one at the station.

it might help to why this information is needed? what does this information allow a mod to do that it cannot do now?

if you look in the factorio documentation for the defines.events

/Factorio/doc-html/defines.html#defines.events

it does not list an event specifically for clicks.

if your trying to capture the player building something there is

defines.events.on_built_entity
defines.events.on_put_item

add missing "why" section.

Another possible name for the option would be "Disable Passthrough"

I've seen this idea mentioned a few times but I wanted to create suggestion specifically for this one item.

There is already some pathfinding penalty for pathing through stations now in 0.15, so this issue should hopefully be solved That is basically how I would see this option working. although having the checkbox gives better control to the player, since an arbitrary penalty may not be enough to achiev...
