I mean you should try it later (1-2 months) again and explain in detail why you think it’s a bug.


I see no point in doing that if each time it has been attempted over the course of three years, those reports have been immediately shot down by moderators. It’s entirely possible that a dev has ...

I tried submitting another bug . It was immediately moved to duplicates without explanation, even though there is no other active bug report about this issue.


Bad timing? (Version 0.18....) I won’t excuse that but maybe it’s that?


I patiently waited for 0.18, confirmed the issue still ...

Since it's been 3 years and we hit yet another major release with this glaring issue still present, I tried submitting another bug . It was immediately moved to duplicates without explanation, even though there is no other active bug report about this issue. Either the mods are getting in the way of ...

Unsure why this was moved to duplicates as there does not appear to be another active report on this bug...?

Steps to reproduce:
- Have an existing recent save.
- Create a new game.
- Attempt to save the map.
- Note that the default name is the most recent save.
- If using the default by reflex, cringe that you overwrote your last save of your previous map.
Solution:
- The first save of a new game should ...

This seems more like an issue that Valve (or any other backup service that people might use) should handle, not Wube ?
What is the Steam game sync maximum these days ? Can you increase/decrease it ?


It’s 1GB per game IIRC, but it’s easy to blow through that with just a few large bases if they ...

Summary
Playing different scenarios overwrites the auto save file.

The purpose of an auto save is to protect you from things that happened before you were able to save, meaning recent history, and the user would then reload that more recent save instead of their older manual save once ...

You realize RAID 5 has been obsolete for years now?

Sorry, but no. Wube was (and likely still is) using a 4 disk array, and RAID 5 is just fine for that purpose, especially if there is a backup. RAID 5 is still typically the default for most 3-4 disk home / small business NAS solutions. Agreed on ...

Your QNAP was fine, as is OpenZFS (I doubt you're running the proprietary ZFS branch - that's what Linus has the issue with, btw), but any 'storage thing' should be treated as a black box that can fail. If you replaced your single QNAP with a single Linux box running OpenZFS, then you are no better ...

Belts with 3/4 digit speeds should not display as x.xe+0.x items/s. The non-exponent display takes less screen space and is much easier to read.
Example:

This seems like a "please Mr. Dev save me from my own mistakes" kind of thread. Carelessness can be overcome. If you can manage to build a viable factory in this complicated game, you are smart enough to be careful with your save filenames.


The thread started with the issue that a new game's ...

Which report? I can try and replicate whatever they might have been doing to trigger.

Either way, I'll continue to monitor and report back either way once on whichever version that might address the root cause.

I have replicated this again on another pair of saves with minimal changes between saves. Still unsure of the specific action that is triggering the issue.

I think the reason this has not been fixed is that everyone wants to reinvent the wheel. The root cause of this thread was that the save dialog defaults to the most recent saved game, so when someone starts a new game, their first save attempt will by default attempt to overwrite their most recent ...

I was able to replicate this again under 0.17.79. Attached is a pair of saves. In the first, the creative mod button functions normally. In the second, it is broken and fails to open the menu. Not much changed between both saves (all mods are on the same revision, minimal map changes, etc). The only ...

...and here is a stripped-down 0.75 save from the same chain where the Create Mode menu button was working (saved with 0.77). The issue appears intermittent somehow.

I had a simple creative mod map that has carried forward through several versions. I use it to check/confirm bugs, etc. On 0.77, I noticed that the Creative Mode menu button no longer works (see attached for a stripped-down save using only Creative Mod). Removing the mod and reloading the save ...

Maybe you should post a link to a good calibration tool as well, so everyone can set up their monitors correct? :D Otherwise you never know if the complains come from "too much" or "crap monitor"

unplayable.

...so this means upgrading a stone path to concrete does not see the benefit of the change, correct?

This is literally down to 'if new game then use a default (e.g. blank) save name. do not default the save name to the most previous save'. I'm not sure how this has been a problem (and seemingly ignored) for so long now...
