It looks to me like you don't actually lose any research progress, you gain all the default research options (some of which are redundant). Clearly this isn't right either, but if you scroll down to the bottom where it shows completed research, the expected campaign-specific stuff should still be t...

Possibly connected with / triggered by the other fix made for a prior bug? :

Loaded an intro campaign save after updating to 0.17.5 and noted that my current research item (that was nearly complete) was reset to unresearched, as was all other research items that were previously researched. Basically, it all started over. Additionally, it appears that all research items are n...

In fixing this bug with text getting cutoff in the upper right info box, now that the box is wider, it covers the FPS indicator:

Dynamic difficulty is a big topic in the office, but even its staunchest opponent, kovarex, admits he had fun with the final wave. He also holds the high score for kills during the Introduction; Over 9000 .

Challenge accepted

More like >200%. Well i said it reaches 100% at that point... I never said it didnt go above 100% :roll: New version will have a rework of the algo which will be smoother and only kick you in the butt if you try to be either lazy or rush through with 30 labs... or something. Was the behavior change...

Still a bug in 0.17.4.

I'll move this to not a bug, but I moved this task much higher on my todo list. ...so it's been a while, and it appears none of this has changed since 0.15. Any chance these might eventually happen? They would greatly assist those working on / troubleshooting circuit-connected items, especially if ...

I believe that it is good as it is (it was exactly like that in 0.16 all the time).

Not to be rude, but if it was unintuitive in a prior version, that's not a reason to continue with the bad UI design trend.

(save name was "Antfarm by Griswold" in this scenario)

The tooltip shows what the pipes allow into them - always - regardless of what fluid is in the pipe. In your setup there is no fluid in the pipes but they're connected to the output of the boilers which means they only allow steam in them. Yes, but they are still showing as full of steam (look clos...

Isn't this fluid behavior is same with 0.16? It may be intended or buggy due to delayed fluid algorithm. No - this is a regression. Pipes would always empty completely in 0.16.x for the exact configuration in my example. It is more significant in 0.17 due to flow mixing prevention, since if a stret...

I noticed that the center of a row of pipes did not completely empty when the water supply to the boilers ran dry: 2019-02-27-18-55-40.png The pipes that show steam present also report as 500.00C, suggesting that some tiny amount of steam is still present. Note: in this config the pipe empties from ...

Change of the slider should switch to Custom.
Just wondered why the GUI didn't change.

Little QoL improvement.

This. Change of the slider *should* switch to custom. Or else if in auto the slider should not be clickable/movable.

The "cost" per biter sent to attack you is scaled with the %progress of the Logistic pack technology. It starts that you need ~2% of your factory output(by pollution) dedicated to making bullets (calculated from the most polluting method) At 90% research completion it hits 100% production...

I haven't loaded the new version yet, but I think there is something missing from the patch notes. It was my understanding that assembling machine 1 could handle 3 ingredients now. The official wiki though doesn't have this updated either. Which means that assembling machine 2 requires green resear...

Having high-res version of icons is one of the first things on the list to do during 0.17 expermental.

High res icons won’t necessarily solve a 125% scale since it is an uneven multiplier of even the high res sprites. It will still be blurrier than native.

Seems a bit steep for what would be a brand new player. The difficulty is based on pollution, so if your factory was "big" and you did not produce many bullets (as a % of your total production), then you will fail. New players do not produce as much pollution as a vet. I will be tweaking ...

While playing, I was walking, possibly also holding Q, and possibly also clicking on an item, while simultaneously something else on my system attempted to steal focus. Might have been a Windows notification or something from another app. Since I was actively clicking on the Factorio window at that ...

Asks for screenshots from 'script_output' directory but the real name on disk was 'script-output'.
Also, screenshots generated on 4k or ultrawide displays may be too large to email easily, FYI.
