I believe this is caused by the update order of pipes. West wins and takes all the fluid it can. Then east updates and there's nothing (or almost nothing) to go east. IIRC pipes do not currently split fluids evenly. This is something that should fixed at some point in the future when the new fluid a...

There's essentially, a one tick delay between the train arriving and the contents being read by other things on the network. (It's more a read/write order issue, but other threads have more.) Here's another 'Not a Bug' thread about it: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=62249 It de...

I saw a lot of these gathering too. But in my case it happened without any artillery at all, hadn't built any yet. The only correlation I can find is they seem to get stuck more when the factory they're heading for is idle and not actively producing any pollution; but I'm probably imagining it. (On ...

Ok, the toolbox i understand. But why the jerrycan?

lol. Thanks for the laugh, but that black one's a toolbox too. I'll bet money there's another red tab on the other side like on the green box.

It isn't just for steam types too. Power generation is % of max for all producers in a given priority. Steam engines & turbines have the same priority so both are asked to perform at the same % to balance the load. What the generator has to consume to maintain that percentage is irrelevant. I kn...

I found a way to make a blueprint in my toolbar appear usable, but not work when clicked. - Have both a blueprint & a blueprint book in your inventory. - Put the BP in your quickbar. - Move the BP to the book in your inventory. - Try to use the BP referenced in the quickbar. - Nothing happens on...

I agree, a belt tool shouldn't just connect ends, but there's a balance that's convenient without removing the puzzle: I rather like the way https://mods.factorio.com/mod/replicating-belts did this. Basically, you place two of these entities, and belts are auto-placed to fill the gap between them. I...

A while back ores icons got extended to a random icon from a set to break up the monotomy of ores on belts. I noticed though that stacks of ores only have one icon. It would look better if the stacks would generate a set of stacks from the set of original icons so they get the same uneven look on b...

Most are recognizable, except a few of them: Assembling machines: It's just a pile of unrecognizable parts. I couldn't tell what it was till I compared it to the unbroken image. The shell of the assembly machines is the most recognizable part but none of those colored panels are left. It's just a pi...

This doesn't fit neatly into a title, or I'm not sure how to word it. When changing station names: - Have a station that starts with an icon. - Put the caret at the start of the station name. - Press backspace. This should have done nothing as the caret was already at position 0, but instead, it del...

Also includes a fix for "Chemical plant smoke animation choppy" but it didn't make it into the changelog:

Fixed with the new chemical plant design.

And in "Resolved for the next release"

Does this mean we get new GFX in the next release?!

*Hype intensifies*

OK, but the exceeding 100% is exactly what I don't want. The goal is a normal mining process like in vanilla but with non-depleting deposits. Is this achievable in any form using the minimum and normal values? If I understand correctly what you wrote, it is necessary that minimum equals normal if t...

I vaguely remember how I felt when first hitting oil all those many years ago. (IIRC I started around 0.7 or 0.8) I don't remember what I felt, but I do remember my solution: Storage tanks. I'd just put down a bunch or so leading out from the outputs I wasn't using and when they got full I removed &...

If the issue is the bboxs changing via mods, what about hard-coding a second rail item, hidden like loaders, that has no bbox? This wouldn't be changable via mods so it shouldn't cause a crash on loading. Then a mod like rail-bridge could make use of the hidden type without issue? Forgive me if I'm ...

All rail bounding boxes are now hardcoded/not moddable. This is to avoid unexpected collision/rail block merging behaviour.

You break my heart. Is there no compromise that keeps the Rail Bridge working?

I’m unwilling to start a new map, I’ve done what you’ve suggested on my testing map and on the menu that comes up when you first load it it says you can use a command to enable it if you press no. Any idea what the command is? In the zip: scripts/gui-menu.lua: -- Creates or destroys the Creative Mo...

Already fixed: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=71662

First log matches log in viewtopic.php?f=30&t=71662; resolved for next release.
I didn't check the others but I assume they're the same.
