This kind of proves my point, you don't get any information from these, but you do get an annoying alarm sound...

This is a follow up to this , where I complained about the alert when a wall is damaged.

With the introduction of spitters the problem is worse, since damaged turrets are also a matter of course.

This is not how alerts should work. Alerts should sound when something bad happens that requires my ...

Happy to see this finally resolved. Ironically, it has been exactly 1 year since my last report on the issue:
https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2103&start=10#p22419

I didn't feel like dedicating the time to fight for this to be fixed at the time, and hoped it would be resolved ...

People don't actually release one button and then the other, they release both simultaneously
I don't. Do you? That's a weird way of doing it.
Of course.

What's weird about it? You currently have both buttons pressed. You want neither button to be pressed. The most natural way to do it is to ...

Most people should release space then shift. Also if it really becomes an issue you can rebind the pause or shoot key.
It is considered a minor issue for now.
People don't actually release one button and then the other, they release both simultaneously and then it's essentially random which is ...

PS. This only happens if first shift is released, and then space.

playing solo, you can pause the game with "escape", so no shotgun problem
playing MP, it is also possible, but you have next to click "pause game", it's a bit longer, but no keyboard conflict
I often need to see the world while paused, so the escape menu isn't a sufficient solution.

Once we didn't move the bug to not bug or minor issues, it is just waiting to be processed, I hope to clear the bug reports section eventually.

But I hope you understand that this is 2 levels lower priority than MP crashing, trains going off path and similar stuff.
Sure, no problem, I just ...

So... Am I the only one with this problem?

The default key bindings for shooting is space, for pausing and unpausing shift+space.

If a shotgun is selected and the game is unpaused, the "space" from the unpausing sequence triggers the shooting, and I'm shooting without intention to do so - typically, in the middle of my base with lots of ...

In my Zlowdown mod, I have reduced the crafting_speed of assembling machines. In version 0.10 this worked without problem. In version 0.11, apparently reducing the crafting speed also reduces the speed of the animation, which is undesired. How do I modify the animation speed back to the correct ...

hmm, while i do agree that later game when you get flooded with 300 notifications from 15 different attacks at the same time does get annoying, early game i want that information the way it is now.

A setting in the options would work just fine for something like this though. Because when it comes ...

Currently, whenever any building is damaged, including a wall, a red alert sounds.

This is so obviously wrong that I can't believe this hasn't been changed yet, and I was tempted to classify it as a bug report. Walls are supposed to be damaged, I want to be alerted when actually something bad is ...

Version 1.6 is released, with one small but important change:

Trains - The weight of all locomotives and cargo wagons is increased. This slows down their acceleration and the maximal speed that air resistance will allow. The max speed attribute is not affected, which is meaningful mostly with a ...

This could make a nice tower defense game.

to solve this, don't change the name of the directory, but open the json file and change the name of the mod to what the directory is named
Hmm... The error message I got on loading confused me. I thought adding the version number was mandatory (and this, of course, cannot be worked around by ...

WTF... Now instead of being able to relax and play the game, I get a ton of error messages which I have no idea how to fix. I changed the mod folder, now there's something about the graphics...

I guess it's my fault for not reading the changelog before upgrading, but I didn't expect something that ...

Problem: There are threads that mention "modules" but don't talk about the in-game "module" items.

Solution: Create a thread that mentions "modules" but doesn't talk about the in-game "module" items.

Cool mod, I'll probably use it, but one minor gripe:
Why does fuel value scale with the time scale? Wouldn't it be better just to divide the energy consumption of all machines by the time scale? That would make more sense to me.

That's definitely an alternative method that I've considered ...

I agree with the OP.

I'll point out that unless I'm imagining things, this actually got worse in 0.10 - now you can't find out the contents of a chest, where you could before.

As a shameless plug, my Zlowdown mod reduces the need to pause to plan in the first place. Or not, I slowed down by a ...
