I guess it's not that easy with a forum, and would need another tool... There's quite a bunch of good ideas out there that might get lost, although I don't know how many the devs will implement in the first place. I'd love to have the community favorites added though, especially those that are no mo...

Ah, understood. That makes total sense, thanks!

But wouldn't it make more sense to ignore recipes that are not hand craftable?

While I could not figure out how that line of items got compressed like that

Too bad. I'm really curious how that happened.

Seems to work fine as of 1.1.74. Is this fixed?

I often play around with mods, so the game often restarts itself to apply the changes. Sometimes it just freezes and I need to kill it with the task manager. However, the memory from the last instance is somehow leaked (Linux bug?) and can only be recovered by rebooting the system. This seems to hap...

While we're at it, how about support for parallel rails? Preferably with a variable distance between the two rails? I'm never really able to use the full potential of the rail planner, because I need to make a second parallel rail from hand as well.

Could a mod please move this to fixed / not a bug?

Currently I have a save that breaks when its mods get updated, but when I sync mods with the save the most recent version of the mods are enabled.
Is there a way to enable the exact versions without having to do it all manually?

I think we as a community could do more to simply write about what parts of the game/mods we enjoy and would like to see more of -- a lot of the interesting and fun talk has taken to discord, and the forum has become a bit of an issue-tracker. I wonder if the devs follow some ideas from the communi...

Wouldn't it be possible to make a tiny inline tank that looks and acts like a pipe, but allows the circuit network connection? I don't think there's factorio changes necessary.

Since the question came up for the Belt Visualizer mod: Is there already someway to find out which inserters deposit on a certain belt? With bobs adjustable inserters this would get pretty complex to do manually. Is this something the game even knows like that, or would that require more internal ch...

Yeah, as I said multiple formats is just asking for troubles You always need to consider all cases...

You'd also have to handle any write access to any already existing entries. Since factorio's engine isn't involved there, that sounds like a (metatable) mess to implement.

Ehh true. One more reason to just allow one format.

Has anybody attempted to make work Angels + bobs + Py + Krastorio? I am working on it for some time now, but I figured I should ask if there is someone else crazy as I am, and where else should I ask than here

You still working on that?

Oh, yes, that would be useful! Additionally, some utility functions for recipes would help. For example, it's not trivial to find all recipes that will produce a certain item because one has to check for recipe.result and recipe.results + recipe[difficulty].result and recipe[difficulty].results for...

I know, but it's a pain when dealing with intermod compatibility, I've seen it quite a few times as reason for crashes. You only notice something is wrong when a mod happens to use the other format and you try to parse that. A common format would solve that. If I understand correctly, "Omnilibr...

Currently there is some parts of prototypes that can be defined in multiple ways, e.g. ItemIngredientPrototype can use names keys or numbers. IMHO it would be preferable to have one unified format. Since I assume 1.2 is a breaking change anyways, this would be a good (possibly the only) way to chang...

Probably have a funky connection somewhere. Post the save, and I'll figure it out.

The linked pipes can't increase the performance of Fluidic Power. The only oppertunity is to maybe allow diagonal poles with some hidden surface shenanigans. I think that's the point. I think it's mentioned in that Alt-F4 article, although a more realistic electricity simulation is feasable for van...
