I have a blueprint for an LTN depot with trains. I can place it, the trains get build, they get fuel and everything is ready. Then I have to click at every single train to open the train dialog, set it to automatic and close the dialog. Repeat for next train. Wait, which one is the next train? Did ...

Ok, I added support to define a shape as "manual" (a set of points) for the next version of 0.17.

You guys are so amazing! <Insert celebratory fireworks emoji here>

To kovarex and all the developers, thank you again for sharing what is happening behind the scenes, for giving us a glimpse of your struggles. Thank you for all your hard work that provides us with the most marvelous game that just keeps getting better and better. I am so sorry that anyone disagreed...

When adding a new station in the train schedule ... Yes searching to _add_ a station works fine. Hmm so if I add the station when I want to go there, I can take advantage of the vanilla search every time. I simply have to remove the station from the schedule when I am done (or whenever the list sta...

I am looking for suggestions to replace the train schedule for my personal transport, as I have too many stations to manage with the current vanilla train GUI. What do I have? I call it a sector-based train system: each sector has inputs delivered by train, which are processed into the sector produc...

Dialogs where the user can make changes need two options, save the changes, or cancel them. Information-only dialogs need one option, done with reading the information. Consistency and simplicity are important goals for a user interface. Trying to come up with one word that works for both these case...

I have just started learning to use beacons, and as Koub says, the increased production for the same number of assemblers, or the same production with drastically reduced number of assemblers, is a compelling argument whether using productivity or speed modules. Beacons do use a lot of power, so I a...

I would like the idea of a configureable condition.

I agree, having the regular train conditions as well as the option of switching to manual would be great!

The mouse issues kept getting worse and worse, affecting other applications... finally figured it out this morning, the USB receiver was plugged into the wrong port, not sure how it worked at all! Anyway, all fixed now.

So I get about half an hour of play if I reboot using Wayland, and a couple of hours just with X... doing lots of reboots

After another couple of hours of play, problem is back - mouse is slow, jerky.

Played for half an hour, one or two momentary delays, otherwise back to normal.
Thank you!

Found it! Restarted Gnome with X instead of Wayland, testing my save game now...

So this started happening after an update, then? Do you know what packages got updated? I did not look to see which packages were updated at the time; tried looking in a few places but as a linux noob (haven't used it for over 20 years now) I am not able to effectively search to find the answer. Al...

When you place a rail signal, you see the configured number of ghost wagons, but ONLY before (that is leading up to) the signal, not following the signal. Screenshot from 2019-05-30 08-11-40.png When you are trying to place a number of signals, it would be most helpful to see both ahead and behind. ...

I also tried from Steam, and played for almost 5 minutes before it again started showing the slow jerky mouse behaviour.

Here is a small save file from another game, showing the same slow jerky mouse effects.

Restart Factorio and load the game; mouse is so slow it is essentially impossible to play.

After playing for 5 to 10 minutes, suddenly my mouse again became very slow and jerky.
Save and exit to see if that helps.

1. What did I do I noticed that my mouse (Logitech track ball) got progressively slower and jerkier as I played. As soon as I exited Factorio, mouse movement and response was smooth and fast. I checked the forums, checked game properties, went back into the game to check all my settings. I hit Escap...
