Failing with default settings for the few first attempts shouldn't be considered abnormal. Agreed! In fact, I think its a compulsory element towards making it a good challenging game. If I dont feel challenged, then I'm bored pretty quick. Ive only played an hour of 0.17 so far, and have red and gr...

hmm, that didnt work for me

thanks

When hovering over Big Rock, it says 37 coal and 37 stone in the right hand panel.
upon hand mining it, you get a different amount.

ah, will try alt-rightclick. I've been trying everything! Got several copies of a stone furnace in my bar at the moment lol.

As i've just sat down for the evening to play games, right now would be absolutely awesome

All good, I knew there would be a reason, just thought i'd ask.
Thanks for taking the time to reply

Regarding thread https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=219&p=399458#p399458 Is it possible for the game to do a "force_technology_reset()" when mods are updated? This would ensure strange behaviour doesnt happen if a technology/recipe changes between mod versions, and ensure your...

ah! Thanks heaps, that worked perfectly!

Now I could be wrong on this, but since the new Py version, it looks like making Copper Plates from Molten Copper has bee...

Ah! Thankyou! I better go check for updates

Hey Py, Big time fan! Although - you owe me a few weeks of not being able to sleep.... Mind constantly spinning all night trying to solve things ... But just wondering if the requirement for making a fluid wagon needing Stainless Steel is a bit over the top? All i'm trying to do is get Coal Gas to m...

I like the Island startup option. Would be awesome if there was something similar for a Ribbon World? I tried specifying dimensions for a ribbon world recently, but after flicking through 50+ previews, trying to find one that had all the needed resources, and failing - I gave up. Would be awesome if...

Sounds like the Adventure Mod ?

if you click on a power pole, to bring up the energy stats window, does it show the "Satisfaction" bar at the top as being 100%? If not, then you arent satisfying all your power demands. And if you have idle steam engines, then i'm going to guess some arent connected using power poles, as ...

Figured it out. The requester must record the train station name, when the Requester is placed down. So when the bots put everything down from the BP, the station got named Jake Carney. And the Requesters were placed at that time. Then I renamed the station, but apparently this doesnt cause the Requ...

what screen shots do you need?
