A multi-line text box used to automatically scroll when a "\n" was written to the last line back in 0.17.43 It no longer does so. Can we get this functionality back please. read_only = true word_wrap = true While I am at it...control characters cannot be entered in a text box, so CR cannot...

I find it highly annoying that I can't sort saved files on creation date. If you start a game and make multiple saves THEN load some other save like a design setup, then to find what was the last save in the game you were playing becomes a chore. You have to click on every save to find the one with ...

Since you are working around the save files menu, it would be very useful to have the save files sorted on creation date. I tend to save in files Temp[n] and rotate through them. If the last save is an autosave, I have to hunt and find the file with the longest play time to find the one before the a...

Well, now the bugs certainly die a spectacular death. <g>

I am getting normal speeds with whatever the default settings are. I just updated one of my installs from 17.69 to 17.79. All is well at the moment, but it was very slow for days when I first posted.

I am getting very slow d/l as of late: < 300 KBps - takes over an hour to get the zip. I have a 100Mbps connection and get < 100ms ping to factorio.com.
Any ideas? Used to be able to d/l in a few minutes.

I want to bump this as it is being ignored and it is very annoying.

It used to take me a minute or two to D/L an update or a full version. Now it takes 1.5 hours.

I am getting this too today. < 300 kBps

As all good satire, there is much truth to this. I recognize the WAI treatment for sure.
Good job.

I agree, it is time to move on and give actual feedback on the new way of doing things.
But I am going to wait for the dust to settle and some actual new UI features (blueprint rework or something) before I start a new game.

Nothing against V from most of us. He had a tough job and perhaps the rest of the devs could have chimed in to show their pov rather than just leave him to do it all alone. Also, I wish the blueprint book changes were in the game already, to better manage all these changes and the ones that are stil...

If you aren't against mods: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Pre0-17-60Oil I'm not against mods in general, I'm against mods that fix bad design decisions. If you are for pre ..60 oil, you should d/l the mod just to show your support by upping the d/l count. This may paint a better picture than 30 pag...

After reading most of the posts on this topic, I keep coming back to the question - who came up with the current system, why and what is his/her opinion about any of the changes proposed. I am still in the camp that the current system works just fine. Add better feedback and/or tutorial on how to se...

Why should an entity that does not require electricity highlight the electrical grid?
Don't be lazy, fix it.

A number of posts have pointed out that the issue with people quitting around oil/blue science is due to the sudden ramp-up in difficulty. I fully agree with this. I also want to say that I restarted a base each time I got to a point where I would have had to dismantle part of it, because I had a be...

One of the things that comes out from all these posts is that the proposed oil change is "not Factorian" for many people. The devs added features over the years and people liked them. More complexity was added - and that was good. Then something changed. The pendulum started to swing the o...

I don't know how many new players will continue to play beyond oil after these changes, but I know that there will be many people who will have lots of their videos, blueprints, tutorials and mods made obsolete. It is my understanding that old saves will not migrate well, so many people will be pla...

Well, it appears that all these pages of opinions were pointless and any more will be too. The decision seems to have been made and that will be that. I'm sorry that I dare to post counter arguments or my general impressions, but please convince me otherwise about those points if you believe I miss...

Well, it appears that all these pages of opinions were pointless and any more will be too. The decision seems to have been made and that will be that.

Make basic only output heavy oil, and make cracking available with basic oil processing! This makes access to plastic require cracking plants allowing players to familiarize themselves with the recipes used to balanced advanced oil processing before they are required to prevent complete blockages. ...
