Since 0.9, entities can have multiple fluid tanks (internally called fluid boxes). For example: steam engines have one tank that has two connection points, amd chemical plants have up to four tanks and four connection points (the exact configuration depends on the recipe). The current Lua getliquid(...

As someone new to rails, it's very odd to me that the curved tracks seem to require one tile of straight track for diagonal connections but not for orthogonal connections, and that the result is more of a rounded square than a circle. If that's accurate, some examples would be helpful. If it's not,...

Ok sorry for tanking so long answering this. Is not a bug, it only happens when the storage of the tank is empty, that confused me a bit. Okay, that makes sense. When the tank is empty, there's no liquid in it. getliquid() returns nil to mean "no liquid" - otherwise it would have to speci...

Alternatively, put your data:extend calls directly in data.lua. Nothing actually forces you to have separate files.

This has been brought up multiple times already (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2680 https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2433 https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2549 and maybe more). We talked about this and so far we like the ...

There is a relevant change in 0.9.2. I don't know if I'm allowed to tell anyone what it is.

But don't rocket defenses require level 3 modules, which require alien artifacts?

0.9+ could mean 0.9, or it could mean 0.10, or it could mean 0.15, or 8.2.

They'd be okay if you scatter some substations around the outside of your base.

Right now the map's pollution display is noticeably blocky, as pollution is tracked per map chunk. I suggest it should be interpolated, so that the pollution strength of a chunk is shown at the centre of the chunk, and in between chunk centres is a gradient.

I think overproducing/maxproducing is a very good self-made objectives in this game.

How many biter bases can be destroyed per hour keeping 60fps?

Kovarex & LoSboccacc: Yes, the direction is right. The details are the problem. For example: I built a train station about 2000 tiles away, to see, which problems occur. I need over 250 green wires to connect that. Big electric poles have a wire reach of 30 tiles. You need about 70 wires to cov...

It looks like the offset has to be on the north, south, east or west of the bounding box. With a zero size bounding box, there are no valid offsets. It does this to calculate the direction the pipe is facing. Maybe in the future there'll be a way to specify the direction instead of making Factorio c...

At this point it looks like the answer is:

Also don't forget all the features you can't have if you have multiplayer. There's nothing currently in Factorio where it'd be a problem, but you might think of something in the future and think "Darn, this would be an awesome feature, but it won't work with multiplayer!". Maybe an entity...

Alternatively, let assembling machines connect to pipes. That is the plan for new assembling machine 2 and 3. Not sure when it is coming, but it is. This would be used for recipes like: barrel loading / unloading, electric engine units, etc. And then what will the difference be between chemplant an...

Just one thing, how do I change the station's names? The box comes up, but I do see anyway to make the change.

Thanks!

You can't. All you can do with the box is give two stations the same name.

Alternatively, let assembling machines connect to pipes. That is the plan for new assembling machine 2 and 3. Not sure when it is coming, but it is.

Or you could just create a massive field of storage chests and hope for the best :). No seriously storage chests are just to dump random things in another chest is needed. All i want is a robot charger, the amount of robots that die waiting to be charged is annoying. This chest is for when you don'...

There will be new content even after 0.9 :) But the thing is that we need to fix some graphical problems from the past first - that means re-skinning assembling machines (now done), inserters, transport belts. Is there anything wrong with those icons, except that they don't match the new style? At ...
