I'm looking for a way to turn off logistic or all flying robots visualization, temporary. As I suppose from Friday facts #244, they are all rendered into separate graphical overlay. I think there should be a way to turn it off. Anyone know how to do it via hotkey or console command? I'd like to turn...

Same problem for me. All research that use white space potions is now cost 1. Without mods. Map was originally generated in 0.15. Using steam client, with enabled experimental, auto update. Restarting game does not help. After selecting Factorio-properties-betas-0.16.43 everything turned back to nor...

Factorio, even without mods, have a lot of options. I think there are quite enough options related to biters behavior and pollution, to fine tune those factors as much as you like. Current default pollution+biter mechanics is very easy to understand, and it add some random elements (and fun) to auto...

While I build a base to launch my 1st rocket or several rockets, using belts, it's quite comfortable and good. But when I'm trying to build a bigger base, I always meet a lot of problems in item distribution using belts. Single blue belt does not provide enough throughput, and balancing 3-4 belts ca...

One of disadvantages of 0.16 map generator was absence of big islands, rivers, big lakes. Looking on other topic - https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=55596 , at last someone found a seed [3974660741 + water normal/very big] to create very nice looking island, quite big one. So far I...

Since 0.16 map generator has some unsolved problems, from part of player community, and we asks, is it hard to have an option "use 0.15" map generation"? I do not think it's really problematic to have this option, while dev's will think what and how needed to be fixed/reworked in a ne...

If dev's would took a new year break, it's fully understandable, but since they keeping to do bug fixes and new releases, could we have a word about map problems? When will it be fixed, and which way? A lot of players missing 0.15 type maps with bigger water areas! And questionable resource generati...

Is it me or do the maps barely have any enemies in them? In preview with highest settings I barely saw any enemies. Compared to the older map generator where with the highest setting, once you left starting area, there was impassable wall of enemy bases and thousands of bitters just waiting to kill...

Is map generator moddable?
I mean terrain generation, not resource allocation - that can be modded since Bob and RSO do it.

I'm also unsatisfied with 0.16 map generation. I've carefully read whole thread. It seems to me that quite a few players, me included, likes to have a base between several big lakes. So we can defend passages, not whole square perimeter of a base. Actual reasons might be different - including aesthe...

I usually reroll a map until I see some big lakes around, because building a square walls around whole factory is too long and no so fun. For most peaceful living, from my point of view, I need quite lager area, so all pollution from main factory and energy complex stays inside my fence. Some mining...

I just like to say, that I'm so happy about announced 0.16 release.

A little .lua program + a .cmd file can do that (had to write both myself), while I still think there should be a standard Factorio way to create an image from a map string, that I just did not found.

I can't find a way to generate a map preview picture for a string. I dunno how to pass a map string in command line, so I launched Factorio normally, generated a new map with a map string, saved it, then tried to launch command line: factorio --generate-map-preview map20.bmp --map-preview-size 3000 ...

I think variety is a good thing. So if I got some trees around starting area I'll chop them down or reroll, depending on my goals for this game. More annoying are trees on a car trips around, I often collide with them. But I dunno will it be good if we see less trees, or bad, since they prevent poll...

Could be nice to hear when we will see .16 release. At least a month. Or dev's thinks it's a bad idea to announce until it's 100% ready?

Looking in Factorio API. There is a class LuaStyle , that has property maximal_height :: int [RW] There is a reference there to LuaGuiElement, and sample game.player.gui.top.add{type="label", name="greeting", caption="Hi"} game.player.gui.top.greeting.caption = "He...

No one knows? Or it's technically difficult? I thought all interface windows have some properties, like current height. For inventory it's probably recalculated every time when something adds a new recipe to available list. But there should be maximum allowed height, that is probably calculated at t...

Where and how to change maximum allowed vertical size of inventory window? Console command? Config string? More detailed explanation, why I want it: When I play vanilla mode inventory window have reasonable size. As soon as I try to play with mods (like Bob's or Angel's) inventory window grows from ...

In other topics, devs were speaking about '"should be some reason to explore the map". I do agree with it. In whole, a player should have much more motivation to explore around. I'm writing this post using impressions from 0.15.37 version of the game. 1. Different biomes, like in Alien Bio...
