Re: [0.18.36] Biters can create nests through cliffs

No that does not help showing what is actually happening. I'll put this in pending until someone can show how to reproduce this. I tried using the Hive Mind mod to recreate this. But it just lets you place biter nests. It doesn't let you send out an expansion party. :-/ If there was a way to force ...

Re: Version 0.18.45

I like the new laser sounds a lot better. Lower frequency, and more of a hint of power to them. Thank you very much for that. The sounds repair robots make repairing things are interesting and fun. I don't know if they even made a sound before, but they definitely do now and it's amusing and consist...

who releases new "major features" just 16 days before the supposed "stable 1.0" release? huh? who does that?
The Factorio team is about the only team I've seen where I suspect that kind of thing would be likely to go well. :-)

Re: Version 0.18.37

Think we might have a bug .. Pressing 'Q' to get a ghost item in hand, then pressing 'Q' again will not clear the hand. The ghost item will still stay in hand.

Re: Version 0.18.37

Looking at why one mod I use is failing, it's looking like the `collision_mask` field of the 'tile-unknown' global game tile prototype is nil. That's kind of weird. It wasn't the case before this update, and I haven't changed which mods I have installed.

Re: Friday Facts #357 - Nuke

Thank you very much for the nuke update. I really look forward to seeing both it and the blueprints in the game. They both look like awesome changes. I was nearly positive you'd make the nuke a lot more impressive before 1.0. :-)

Re: Error 500 on website

I have a similar problem, and I think it has a lot to do with whether or not you commented in the discussion for a mod that was removed completely by the devs. This is causing a huge problem for me because it's preventing me from figuring out which of my mods is being commented on and what the comme...

Post a save showing this actually happening please.
I can post a save where it happened in the past and have myself standing where it happened. But I cleared out the nest before I realized I'd seen a bug, and so I don't have a save showing the immediate aftermath.

[0.18.36] Inserter GUI does not update when research completed

If you have the research queue on, and you have the inserter GUI open when research finishes for an inserter stack size increase, the stack size showing in the GUI for the inserter does not update.

This is a minor nit. But I thought it might be worth fixing before 1.0.

[0.18.36] Biters can create nests through cliffs

I recently had a game in which I was using cliffs as a barrier. I had properly walled up all the tiny chokepoints that would enable to biters to escape past the cliff wall. They did anyway. The way they did this was by nesting right next to cliffs. When a new spawner was created from this, it was cr...

Re: Version 0.18.34

most of the time, if i want to have about a full stack of something, i set the requests to something like from 80% or 90% of a stack size to one stack, so when bots deliver slightly more than the minimum, neither i get another stack, nor they have to fly all the way back to put it to some random st...

Re: Version 0.18.32

It not being 0.5 is because the circuit network operates on integers...but they could've made it round up instead of down. I don't know what the rationale for doing it this way was. You're mistaken in saying that circuits round down. As an experiment, divide -7 by 3. Since the game truncates, the g...

Re: Version 0.18.32

I really like the new beacon design. I think it's a big improvement over the original, and an even bigger improvement over the previous design you considered. I do think Walkable Beacons and Down The Rabbit Hole make them better. Though I think the first of those two makes the hit-box too small. I a...

Would be interesting to see the animations at max speed :D <.... nifty animation elided ....> I really like the new mining drill. I'm still not necessarily sold on the new icon. But, it does indeed much more closely resemble the actual entity than the old icon. Is there any fluid sloshing or spatte...

Aww this somewhat implies that the iconic look of the miners will be gone. I understand because they make no sense (I mean, flywheels? fans? what are those?) but still... Iconic.
Why do you assume they're going to change the electric miners and not the icon?

Re: Read inserter stack size from the picked item's channel

It seems to me that you could just filter the cargo wagon slots: Yeah, I tried that. But the inserters would get stuck holding an item that couldn't fit in the inventory and not pick up any of the other items that could go in the inventory. That works for one chest per item, (and I notice that you ...
