In factorio 16.28 this week, i started a new map and have a bunch of mods enabled, some already updated to newest base version, but when i open Research Queue's technology gui window, occasionally it spams "Cannot Load Technology" and i'm curious if there is a way in debug menu or log some...

How about a bridge over water? there is a mod specifically for this. Check out "Beautiful Bridge Railway". As for undergrounds, while i agree that it makes signals less important due to simplifying intersections, i do not feel that that, alone is a legitimate reason to keep them out of th...

one of the biggest problems with belts is compression, the number of inserts required to compress a belt makes bots the obvious choice unless you're using one of the mods that re-adds loaders into the game. there are many ways to balance out (or make the decision more of a decison and not an obvious...

change to 16.24 now requires fluidbox height to be greater than zero (to prevent potential division by zero) per factorio release notes. specific entity causing crash: "flare-stack" (furance) specific entity is also modified by increasedRates and Squeak Through. both mods can still load if...

well, when i also had an idea to make something like this, the idea originated out of an example from Factorissimo2, and surfaces-remake, both of which can, essentially, teleport items, fluid between surfaces (worlds/ playing areas) so i thought it'd be possible....not sure how those mods achieved t...

i have seriously considered coding an ender storage mod, but more like tesserects, if you are familiar with minecraft: They'd have limited inventory size, would act as loaders and unloaders in a single tile, would cost massive amounts of energy the further away an item was being sent (to combat OP-n...

I think some recipes must have changed between v15 and v16, because it seems harder to do now than it did the first time i got the achievement.

If first rocket launch containing a satellite, in fact contains more than 1 satellite (stack sizes for most items in-game altered by mods), the end-game state or event that triggers achievement calculation as well as end-of-game stats/endgame dialogue will never trigger, and remain ---unable to comp...

This immediately reminded me of Age of Empires, when neutral AI would sometimes offer alliances. I think from the start of the game, they should attack you if you get close or create too much pollution, but if, by some midpoint of the game you haven't destroyed *too* many bases, and are careful abou...

Also failed to receive a game over screen after first rocket launch and playing on factorio 16.20. game is modded but not sure if that's the cause..... Edit: after creating a world ready to launch a rocket, saving the game, then loading the save with various selections of mods, i've narrowed down a ...

blueprint books do not open upon right clicking after update to 16.19

THANKS! Alright, so i'm going to remove the poles, the crazy-ranged beacon and roboport, and one or two other items by inserting startup-config options to disable them and and see if that fixes or improves it.
May go the full configurability route and make everything disable-able :3

Where do I go to determine the cause of a UPS drop in a new game with a mod that has a performance lag spike when holding certain items (60fps -> 17fps on a top of the line computer). occurs with dark utilities mod and i'm trying to help discover the source/cause of lag spikes when holding certain i...

My idea is pretty simple. It is based on most computer's ability to boot a computer using the last settings of a BIOS that were successful in the case where a bootup fails, the user may ask the computer to load using the settings that were used the last time the computer was able to boot successfull...

mod incompatible-with / prevents run-speed modification from other mods (namely creative mode mod). setting run speed to say, 7...results in a quick burst of speed than running back at normal speed (1x) (or there's something in the mod that i'm missing, like a key i'm supposed to be using besides F1...

so you have your factory in an early stage and it's producing pollution, you are next to a small lake and a forest which helps reduce that pollution, but there are also a few biter nests that are evolving rapidly due to the pollution they are absorbing....do you attack them now, and add the "de...

My suggestion is that evolution be adjusted so that only the pollution absorbed by the actual spawners progress the evolution of [all biters / local biters only]. Items such as modules, or game strategies that promote clean energy, or clearing out bases strategically will add to gameplay strategies....

blueprints can easily fill up an inventory and currently, there is no way to destroy items except by putting them in a wooden chest and shooting it. blueprints, however, can be deleted but must be opened one at a time. I suggest a keybind "delete" that will delete items hoverered over them...
