[0.17.65] [macOS] Freeze or crash when Mission Control used to put game in/out Full Screen, if Full Screen=off on launch

Re: Friday Facts #307 - 0.17 stable candidate

before we can call Factorio finished I can't help feel a bit sad at the thought of this. I know it's selfish to think so, after all the many, many years of work, and of course it will be fantastic to see game complete and have many new users brought in by the game leaving early access. But at the s...

Re: Set Cargo Wagon Filter

How do I set the cargo wagon filter? I'm using a Mac with a mouse that doesn't recognize the middle mouse button capability of the Mac. Command - Middle button therefore does not work for me. How can I change this setting? I don't see it in options. The name of the binding is "Toggle Filter&qu...

As you can see, the FFF305 changes are the solution we have found to be the best. Please give it a try, and give it some time to see what the impacts will be. Thanks for all your dedication in trying various alternatives to see what you felt would work best. Whatever anyone's personal opinions are ...

Re: Can't become admin on hosted server

Where would I enter the command? Do I need to set up to start a Client on the linux machine and connect from there? Just trying to turn off the 120 second abort in LTN. You can type it directly on the Factorio headless server, from the command line in which you started the server. When Factorio is ...

Re: More than 12 shortcuts

Yes please, I would definitely like this. 12 now feels awfully small, given we have mods like Shortcuts which, very usefully, allow all mod-added tools to be available via shortcut bar icons.

Re: [0.17.59] Cargo wagon slot filtering stopped working

Update: I just downloaded an app to simulate a middle mouse click. I then added a secondary keybinding to Toggle Filter to use middle mouse button and this allowed me to set the filter for cargo wagon slots. This is not what I'd call a good solution, though. FYI, as an easier workaround until this ...

Re: Friday Facts #305 - The Oil Changes

I think one thing that might help is a tutorial like you have for trains (many have suggested this), or possible some visuals that better show the pipes going in and out of the refineries and chemical plants. That could help to see that there are multiple inputs and outputs. (This has probably been...

Re: Friday Facts #305 - The Oil Changes

My idea is some system where a mod can say "I want to add this GUI, and I want it to be shown relative to the character GUI on the left side" and then any time the character GUI is shown it would also show the mod GUI. There are some critical parts to this new system. It needs to: Be easy...

Re: [0.17.59][Linux] Del key does not toggle mod deletion sometimes

I see the same on the Load game UI - and not just the Delete key. It appears that all keyboard input is broken on the Load UI, after a save game is selected with the mouse. Specifically: Open the Load UI and, without using the mouse, try up/down arrow keys to scroll, and Delete to delete a save: it ...

What are those buttons you have in the toolbar ? - the rail, flashlight, zoom,lightning, red wire etc. - where are they from ? Mostly from the mod Shortcuts . I think the small red wire one (bottom right) was added by Picker Belt Tools ; it's an automatic circuit wiring toggle: when you add new Big...

Re: construction bot with artillery shell not putting it in a chest

Yeah this is odd. You are playing a heavily modded game, so we can't rule out the possibility that there's some modded weirdness going on. Can you: * Press F4 * In the Debug->Always menu, tick show-debug-info-in-tooltips * Now hover your cursor over one of the construction bots that are stuck, like ...

Re: construction bot with artillery shell not putting it in a chest

He might mean construction bots, if he deconstructed one or more artillery turrets or chests containing shells. OP: if these definitely are construction bots, then are you sure they're bots from roboports and not your personal roboport(s)? If they're from your personal roboports, then they will be t...

Re: Friday Facts #304 - Small bugs; Big changes

In most cases I trust the judgement of a developer who has shown that he can produce a great game more than the mass of users in a forum. Especially since forum users have a big resitance to change in any form. I've seen it with 7D2D more than once, forum is protesting a change, half a year later e...

Re: Friday Facts #304 - Small bugs; Big changes

I'd like to also go on record that changing the flamethrower recipe to use petroleum gas makes no sense. Flamethrowers typically use, as fuel, petrol (light oil) that's had a fuel thickener added (heavy oil, I guess), propelled by an inert gas (usually nitrogen, which is not modeled in the game). I...
