When trying to use a production module in a centrifuge with the recipe set to 'nuclear fuel' one receives the message: "Productivity modules are only usable on intermediate products" while nuclear fuel is listed as intermediate product (of course it isn't since nothing uses it but then it ...

Does anyone know where I can find the exact train physics (formula's) factorio is using the calculate the speed, acceleration, braking distance etc.? I only have found a lot of empirical stuff but no actual formula's describing the physics currently used.

So then what?

The artillery turret feels like pointless clutter more than anything. Has anyone even built more than 1 just to see the pretty graphics? When a player needs artillery support, why bother filling stationary turrets with ammo wagons? You can bring in the artillery wagon and kill two birds with one st...

What I mean is: What happens when you send a train to a stop with "Inactivity: 30s". Will it stay at the stop as long as the gun fires at aliens? Yes it does. Why bother with the static guns at all to be honest? Just plop a few stations here and there, a dualhomed 2 gun artillery wagon......

Why do artillery wagons need shells (more than the current one) anyway? Why not have them draw shells from adjoining wagons? There could be a special ammo car too and artillery could draw shells from any unbroken chain of connected ammo cars. Just like tanks draw shells from their trunk. I think an...

To protect the outskirts of the base it is nice to build artillery outposts immediately killing expanding biters coming into range. However, instead of building artillery turrets and supplying these with cargo wagons filled with artillery shells it is more convenient to refill the turrets by sending...

As pictured in the action movie, the laser turrets on cliffs should have a wider range or more destructive power as placed on flat ground. This would add a use for cliffs. Range and impact by altitude only comes into play with projectiles affected by gravity obviously (e.g. Arrows and such.). Laser...

I think blue prints place all wires for free (both circuit and power). This is intended behaviour I think.

I don't know if this is intended behaviour but inserters add/remove modules from Beacons. I think this is very annoying (when rotating inserters near beacons for instance).

Kind regards.

Blueprint seems to show incorrect fluid connection on factory, see attachment. I think the blue arrow should only be on the fluid connection of the factory?

Artillery auto-targeting? Artillery targeting has a fixed cost per artillery piece that's active (which isn't that high). Biter movement and attacking is what's expensive and will be triggered by artillery shooting at them. When I added artillery to my border (before removing them again), they were...

I don't think this is correct behaviour. The artillery was no longer auto firing and waiting some longer should stop the attacks at some point (since only hitting a base triggers the biters to attack?). I did not experience a recovery of the UPS while there were no more attacks on the artillery. It ...

Not a bug but intended behaviour I think. Only intermediates bulk-trash that way, everything you can place doesn't and has to go via autotrash or manually.

Building more artillery seems to decrease the UPS drastically (range research level 4). None of the turrets were firing automatically. Attached please find two saves, 1 with arty bases, 1 without. The entity update time goes down from ~20 ms to about ~7 ms when arty turrets are removed. Meaning the ...

Confirmed. Game is unplayable for me at the moment due to this.

Can we use the saves with corrupted chests or do I need to take an older save before they were corrupted?

Yes they did have limits on them.

Saving map _autosave2 with a fully black bar here. I can still open and close the map (m) but my friend dropped from the game. I do see him disconnecting though (Wackerstamfer left the game). I do use TeamSpeak 3 and play the game via Steam. After I open the latest autosave game all requester chests...

Only requester chests in this specific logistic network seem to suffer from the problem.

I have attached the map version from version 16.7-4. Unfortunately not all chests were built there yet and the map does not reproduce the bug when opened in 16.9.
