It’s obvious they’re trying to squeeze extra out of fans who have already supported the game over the years, making us buy the DLC with full price to access what should have been a fresh title.


If you're already a fan and therefore own base Factorio, it doesn't make any difference to you ...

To reproduce:
- Place spidertron
- Place ghost equipment in spidertron (I did ghost fission reactor, using remote view)
- Hover cursor over spidertron
- Run `/c local saved = game.player.selected.grid.take_all()`
- Observe crash

49.668 Time travel logging:
49.667 Player 0 ran command: local saved ...

I haven't worked out how to reproduce this outside of my mod. The following lines (in spidertron_lib.lua) seem to be causing it
local spidertrons_selected = player.spidertron_remote_selection or {}
table.insert(spidertrons_selected, spidertron)
player.spidertron_remote_selection = spidertrons ...

Can you post a screenshot of the "allowed modules" tooltip that shows all the other modules but not productivity? (Don't crop it, show the whole screen)

If an English text string is changed, then in the very next version, it will be untranslated in all languages. Assuming the translators in crowdin get to it before the subsequent version, it will get automatically fixed then.

You can check the string on https://crowdin.com/project/factorio/ and re ...

Just deleting all lua files in the save game will probably also fix the problem.

The engine ignores Control+F when a mod GUI is set to `player.opened`. This also prevents Control+F working for choose-elem-buttons, which is bad.
For an example, install Factory Search mod

In Module Inserter Simplified 2.1.0 I have the following selection tool:
select = {
border_color = { r = 0, g = 1, b = 0 },
cursor_box_type = "copy", -- Green
mode = {"same-force", "any-entity"},
entity_type_filters = {"mining-drill", "furnace", "assembling-machine", "lab", "beacon", "rocket ...

If any letter should be accepted it would be `e` though, supporting scientific shorthand like 1e3 for 1000 would be awesome


That’s exactly what it is doing. It doesn’t support most letters, but it will do maths expressions like 5*15 or scientific notation like 3e7. Still though… I’d much rather ...

You could just use blueprints for your ships instead of designing them yourself.

There aren't currently any mods for that as far as I'm aware. However, the commands for teleporting to a new planet are trivial.

To generate the other planet's surfaces, do `/c game.planets["gleba"].create_surface ...

Honestly I played ~40 hours of SA and I never even noticed that this had changed, let alone be bothered by it.

It seems like there are undocumented changes to crafting recipes? For example, I noticed all the power poles require copper cables now instead of plates. Is this just an issue where the unofficial wiki was wrong about these recipes?


Undocumented?

> Electric poles are always crafted from copper ...

I've some surfaces that are strictly for mod-internal purposes, not intended to be visited by players. But the surfaces I've created are visible in the "Surfaces" GUI from Remote view. So, I want to hide my surfaces.

Luckily we now have the LuaSurfacePrototype, where we can set the properties ...

Simply disabling the mod will allow you to resume collecting steam achievements.

That's a shame, the mechanic is in the game so I wonder why they didn't set it up. Several other tiles in the code refer to a thawed or a frozen variant, so clearly there's some sort of temperature threshold in the game that tiles use to change from one to the other.

Just did some testing.

But it clearly isn't, since the expansion costs as much as the base game regardless of local pricing.

Well plenty of people complain about base game pricing too.

That was it. Thanks a lot!


Then how do you plan to use the new spidertron remote? :)


Spoilers! :D I've not got to Spidertrons yet, I'm still messing about with grenades and follower bots - I'll probably repost when I get to that point. Are you finding an issue with that?

Here’s a guide I wrote for porting mods to 2.0.

Most importantly disable quality mod before starting to port your mods!
