[kovarex] [0.16.47] No rail signal indicators for water rails (bridges)

So, I've been using the Beautiful Bridge Railway mod for sometime, and I figured the lack of signal guides was just par for the course. Anyway, I thought today that I should post this as a bug. Since rails could be modified to be on water, the signals to go with them, why couldn't there be signal in...

Re: [0.16.43] Update failed, permission denied

PS I'm leaving that directory untouched. I've downloaded 16.47 and installed it to its own folder and will continue on. If you have other ideas, I'm willing to test them.

Re: [0.16.43] Update failed, permission denied

Lot of different things can interfere with the automatic updater, antivirus mainly. I have Malwarebytes, but that hasn't interfered before and I can't tell if it has now. Usually it pops up with some notice saying it has detected a problem, asking if I want to quarantine the offensive file. Nor has...

Re: [16.43] Update failed, permission denied

question to OP, do you use google sync or something else to synchronize your factorio folder? because if you do, you need to turn off sync while doing updates. if you don't do that, sync might lock your files moment they start changing. i had that issue before other problem will be permission bug, ...

Re: [16.43] Update failed, permission denied

The OS denied permission to open the file for writing, possibly because your anti virus is reading it. Try the update without your anti virus software activated and check your permissions of the directory. If you try the update again, do you get a different message? I can't run the update again, th...

[0.16.43] Update failed, permission denied

Subject: Not sure what to put in the brackets in the subject line, 16.43 the version being upgraded or 16.47 the version migrating to. It could also be the 16.44, since that is the zip where the following occurred. In the update, I got an error message saying the Factorio.exe couldn't be written to....

Can you not use acronyms please? I've no idea what a NPE is, and the closest I get is NBE (Non-biological-extraterrestrial) if anyone gets the reference.

Re: [kovarex] [0.16.45] Backing up in rail car, turns are opposite key

One indicator i found for determining primary direction of double headed trains is red and blue light on locomotives when stopped at stations in automatic mode. Right, I forgot about this. But still, it is very minor thing as it is always more intuitive to just use the locomotive to ride the train....

Thanks for the fix. I'm looking forward to it. And, I'm always glad to post reports. You all have fixed so far four of my reports.

Now if I can just get my suggestion put to the front of the pile, a color picker based on entity. :)

Re: [kovarex] [0.16.45] Backing up in rail car, turns are opposite key

mexmer next time read the post and supporting material before replying. We're not talking about driving the train from within the engine, but from within a rail car. Though it is nice to have the picture to support what I was attempting to write. Add a rail car behind your engine, and I was having t...

Re: Science 16.800 per minute

A couple things: 1) If you're using bots to fill your chests at the head of your belts, why not just have them deliver to the labs? Here's my bot based approach: https://cdn.pbrd.co/images/Hncl8Hz.png 2) I don't see 16.8k per minute on your production chart, but 2.4k. I suppose you're multiplying 2....

Re: [16.45] Backing up in rail car, turns are opposite key

Presuming the keys for movement are W forward, A left, S back and D right. If I'm using the S key to move a train, it is backing, right? Therefore A is used to make a left turn (IE my viewpoint is the position of my feet before me (if I were in a car)) and D for a right turn. Think of being in that ...

[kovarex] [0.16.45] Backing up in rail car, turns are opposite key

When backing up a train engine, you use "S" and "D" to turn right, but in a rail car you use "S" and "A". Is this a bug or feature? I discovered this in my stream earlier today. I've a link to where can view my video on YouTube when I discovered this bug/featu...

I wish those that moved these to duplicates / not a bug, would post why. I don't want to update to 16.44 until this is addressed.
