I assume it's the rearmost position where a pump won't connect? Yep. From earlier troubles I've had pumps to connect, I expected no positions to work since the wagon isn't entirely on straight rail, but it's consistent. The only rotational inconsistency I see here is the graphical difference. Which...

It's very subtle, but now that you point it out, I see it too. Depending on what speed I'm moving, and what the background landscape is, I can also see it in some of the other ores. However, I'm going to blame my eyes, my monitor, or maybe my video card, rather than Factorio. I see very similar flic...

I'm currently AngelBob-ing it, but I'll leave those aside except to mention ShinyAngelGFX and ShinyBobGFX. (And no, don't add Bob halfway through. Not if you like making — Oh, I don't know — green chips? Angel's Add-Ons should be fine, but core Angel would be similarly problematic.) Other things tha...

I just checked clockwise rotation too, and it's the same as counterclockwise. The second cargo wagon on a north-bound train won't open, and only five of the six pump locations work on the second fluid wagon in all four directions. For what it's worth, if you remove the curved rail under the northbou...

1) I believe so. You can confirm this by testing both scenarios for a minute or so and looking at the Pollution tab of the Production screen. (default hotkey 'P')

2) You can turn off your personal roboport using the buttons next to the quickbar.

Yes, but why is that wagon sitting on the curve tile when none of the other three are? And will it affect the fluid wagon pump attachment system? EDIT: Fluid wagons are consistent in all four orientations. Not what I expected, but consistent. There are six locations per side where a single pump can ...

I don't think there's any straightforward way since you can only check the charge level. You could measure the rate though using combinators. If the rate of depletion is the maximum of the system, then you're in a brownout scenario. I'm not sure this can be used to actually control the backup power...

Does it still happen in 0.17.24? If so, I'd post a log from 0.17.24 and the savegame.

It may not be perfectly accurate, but think of heat as a fluid and heat pipes as pipes. Heat only goes in at the center, just like steam only comes out of the center.

For me, "MS Windows (64 bit zip package)" and "MS Windows (64 bit exe installer)" can be downloaded, but the other two are 404. I'm in Indiana, USA, traversing via > tracert dcdn.factorio.com Tracing route to dcdn.factorio.com [45.56.70.196] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 <1 ms 1 m...

you do not have to be highly educated engineer to have clear intuition that if you detonate atomic bomb under your vehicle, vehicle and you would be immediately evaporated.

This is, surprisingly, not true. You should read about something called "Project Orion".

When I try to use the automatic updater to update from 0.17.21 to 0.17.23, it fails, telling me Update failed: [Confirm> (There is no reason given after the colon) The interesting bit is almost certainly 36.144 Info HttpSharedState.cpp:54: Downloading https://updater.factorio.com/updater/get-availab...

It looks to me like you're reporting that "Character logistic slots 4" can be researched before "Character logistic trash slots 3". Is that correct? If so, note that "Character logistic trash slots 3" contains the word 'trash', while "Character logistic slots 4&quo...

I'm guessing you don't have "Enable experimental updates" checked in the settings.

however, the referenced "robot" in the event table would be to a non-valid entity. So, every mod needs to be prepared to receive events for invalid entities? This seems like a disaster waiting to happen. (One of the basic ground rules for programming is that all parameters must be valid. ...

0.17.18 has issues with screens that aren't at 100% or 200% scale. Try again in 0.17.21.

What makes you think Bob's Ores is not compatible with Factorio 0.17.21? I just started a game in 0.17.21 with all of Bob's mods, and everything seems to be just fine.

Huh. I'm not sure how I managed to miss that. For realism reasons, I'm now also of the opinion that the chlorine should be returned. Chlorine goes into making monochloramine, but none of it ends up in either hydrazine or dimethylhydrazine. Realistically, this means it all should come back out (as HC...

Most chemical recipes follow the real-world versions pretty well, but I've found two recipes that do not have what I would consider the expected formulas. The recipe for monochloramine is 5 sodium hypochlorite plus 250 ammonia yields 50 monochloramine. In the real world, the synthesis is NH₃ + NaOCl...

As is being discussed in Development and Discussion thread, it appears that nothing works without Angels' Infinite Ores. If don't want the infinite ores, you can enable it and then use ChangeMapSettings to turn off the infinite ores.
