I'm having a huge problem regarding friendly fire when attacking alien bases. Attacking with chaingunners and cars works fine. Attacking with flamethrower cars turned out to be a huge no-no, because they set the ground on fire and then I lose lots of vehicles because they drive into the flames. Seem...

Regarding green circuit board recipe, I'm actually not too happy about making it this complex to make. It works well early on in a no or low electric setup, but it's different in late game when you have 3 tiers of circuit board. Suddenly you need a lot of green boards and then the added steps in the...

:?: ....What triggers zone "scanning" in a zone scanner? AFAIK... negative #s should trigger reverse scanning? and a pos number should return the zone indicated.. You can do anything other than scanning specific zone IDs??? :shock: If I remember correctly scanning a zone with a non-existi...

I have a feature request. Currently when an assembler change recipe, everything in the assembler is placed in the crafting combinator for bots to pick up. The change: Once the current change recipe code finishes, loop through all input and output slots in the assembler and fill in as much as possibl...

QUESTION: How hard would it be to make the miner move/patrol between two points? I have infinite resources mod so patrol between depot and ore-field. Just two points. If you want something really basic and easy to build, do this: Set up two zones. I will call them A and B, but they can be whatever ...

A few issues regarding circuit boards. Electronic Assembling machines (Bob's assembling machines) are able to produce circuits out of wood, but not stone When handcrafting something, which triggers crafting circuit boards, only wood boards apply. It stops assembling due to lack of wood even if you h...

The signals are checked in the order they are in the network. To my knowledge, that seems to be a separate thing from the crafting menu and such things, but happens to be ordered basically the same. However, as this seems to be a fairly 'internal' thing to the engine, I can't guarantee that this wo...

A wild guess is that the warden scans the area every tick and scans each vehicle it finds for damage and low ammo/fuel. It should be enough to do so every 5 or 10 seconds when idle and by idle I mean a scan with no vehicles needing repairs, no combat etc. Providing 1-5 units of fuel should still be ...

Error while running event aai-programmable-vehicles::on_tick (ID 0) __aai-programmable-vehicles__/util.lua:182: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'x' (a nil value) Sadly I still have this error with v0.3.20 when flame tumblers tries to attack. I tried mining a vehicle and place it again to get...

Error while running event aai-programmable-vehicles::on_tick (ID 0) __aai-programmable-vehicles__/util.lua:182: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'x' (a nil value) I'm not really sure how this happened. I was driving in a car while controlling the rest of my vehicles, which consists of two mor...

Based on that description I think I figured out what happened to my setup. Each crafting+recipe combinator pair receives a signal from a memory, which is just a decider combinator. The loopback on that one goes through a circuit network switch, meaning it can be turned on and off. Another switch sup...

When providing multiple signals to the crafting combinator, what is the formula to pick what to make? Based on experimentation, it seems to be the same order as in the crafting menu. That is categories from left to right, top to bottom and in each category, it's also left to right, top to bottom. If...

Failed to load mods: Error while loading recipe prototype "rf-electric-engine-unit" (recipe):Key "icon" not found in property tree at ROOT.recipe.rf-electric-engine-unit Modifications: Reverse Factory Reverse Factory fails to load with 0.1.8. It worked with 0.1.7. v0.1.8: Change...

Failed to load mods: __bullet-trails__/data-updates.lua:3: attempt to index local 'ammo' (a nil value)

Something didn't go well with the newest update. I can't even start the game without disabling this mod

Speaking of (un)loading ammo, could the loading include the count in fuel and ammo slots? Right now if you set a vehicle to load 200 bullets, it loads 200, puts them into an ammo slot and then load another 200, meaning unitdata of 200 actually gives 400. Even worse if the ammo slot has one bullet le...

It would be useful to know what version of Factorio you're running, because I think there was a change at some point in 0.15 regarding fluid box connections on reload. 0.15.18. However looking at the changelog I must have been using 0.15.13-0.15.16 when placing the pump, though I can't narrow it do...

My list of mods is fairly long and as such isn't the best to use for pinpointing mod conflicts. I play for fun rather than bughunting. Is it possible to backup the list of mods to restore after finding the conflict? Looking at mods affecting pumps and pipes, I find that the conflict could be Bob's l...

Bug Electric offshore pump not working after 0.1.5 update I can confirm this (though I haven't tested if this mod is the blame). The pump fails to work after loading a game. It appears to be fixable by removing the pipe right next to the pump and then placing it again. I could accept this as a migr...
