1) Make the furthest mine as always enabled. With a stacker if you'd like. Trains will prefer the closer mines. If you use YARM, you'll know when mines get low and in need of adding new mine outposts.

Or

2) Have a mine outpost available for each train.

I prefer number 1, but 2 is another solution.

You already can manipulate any combinator via map view. You just need to blueprint the combinator with the setting you want, and shift (control?) click the blueprint down over the one you want to change. Though it won't change the wires. Your inputs & outputs need to already be wired (or in a bo...

bump +10. I thought the old battery looked way better.

If you played games for long, you learn to hate RNG. Because RNG is just that, a computer code that gives a chance. You probably wouldn't like dice games either, like Settlers of Catan. It's amazing how often with that game, you bet on certain numbers and they never show up. Though it is way against...

Got the error again. Attached is the log file.

Okay, I tested this with version 16.48 & 16.49 (since I'd downloaded both earlier) with the same results. Steps to reproduce 1) navigate to https://factorio.com/download/experimental 2) download alpha 16.48 3) 7-zip, unzip to desktop (i'm including my zip program, just in case that makes any dif...

From memory, a clean install doesn't have experimental updates enabled. (And 0.16.5x is still experimental). Okay, thanks. It's always been enabled for me, but then I've copied in any config files. So I wasn't prepared for that. Just modified the config file in factorio/config to enable experimenta...

The updater should wait until the process stops existing. Unfortunately there's nothing we can do without a way to reproduce the problem (which nobody seems to have). Until I figured out that I could copy the Factorio.exe from the factorio/temp directory, I had to re-download & install from the...

This bug still continues with 16.49. Each update, the update fails first. The factorio.exe is zapped. I've found that copying the Factorio.exe from the temp folder to the bin / x64 folder, then re-running the update, it works the 2nd time with no changes to permissions needed and not running as adm...

this has been reported (at least) twice before, the same error, but is moved to "won't fix" or "not a bug". 60761 and 60869 I've had this happen on each update for the last several as well. To fix, after getting the error, I've found copying the Factorio.exe from the factorio/tem...

This bug still continues with 16.49. Each update, the update fails first. The factorio.exe is zapped.

Sorry, I don't have that specific one anymore. Attached is a log file, if it will help.

Got these errors on game load. Then the game crashed, but I was able to relaunch without it cropping up again. There was another, that I didn't realize had the texture location, or I'd have screenshot it too.

These look great!

I can't wait for the new game load that takes into consideration mods and a directory structure!

Okay, thx. I looked for a post on this, forgot to check resolved folder. Sorry.

I opened my megabase, and made a screenshot of a small part of a larger blueprint I was using just fine earlier. This one is roughly 150 entities. Here's the pic edited in photoshop to make it bigger: https://cdn.pbrd.co/images/Hp2BDFi.png I try and take it off my hotbar, and the game goes to 3 UPS ...

In my megabase, I "happily" manage a 21/22 UPS rate, and have ran that way for some time. Today suddenly, I'm going into low single digit UPS for opening a large blueprint. I tried even smaller ones. Anything larger than 100 (its hard to estimate) or so entities and my game becomes unworka...

The deverlopers say its not a bug, but I found running factorio as admin for updates does the trick. If you have the factorio.exe available from your previous download (or redownload from factorio.com) you can try again.

Please make update's run with elevated admin levels. Again I cannot update, and my factorio exe got deleted again. Fortunately I still had the 16.47 zip, and copied the factorio exe back to the bin/x64 directory and ran it as admin. The update worked fine as admin. Elevated permissions don't help. ...

It's been modified as a flotation device, ala buoys.
