I agree from what you describe, it should at lest take the upper left exit. Unless something else in those tracks is preventing it from using them. Maybe try adding chain signals just before each exit off the roundabout? I know sometimes it only recalculates routes as it passes chain signals, and wh...

But clicking in the GUI sets a new destination with a new path, and I wouldn't expect it to behave the same as repathing to the same destination. The new path can even cause the train to reverse direction, so it's pretty clear that it erases all the data from the previous route when starting the new...

This is a known feature of trains running in automatic mode (will not change direction without stopping at a station or being stuck in no path for a bit iirc). In this case the train is in manual, and it does seem like a bug. Does it do the same thing while waiting at one of the stations at the end ...

I mean, it "knows" they are connected, but when you put down a signal every 2 tiles you are telling the game to look at each square separately. If you don't want it to spend time doing that, don't put so many signals down

When you say you switched to the Northeast station while in the loop, did you do that by disabling the South station of the same name via circuit network, or manually by clicking in the train schedule GUI? If it treats manual commands different from ordinary repathing, the fix might not activate in ...

Please update the post with all the information requested in viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3638

Especially the exact version number, because they have addressed some issues with train blueprint placement already.

This is an impressive corner case to find, and probably the perfect solution to implement. But what happens if the train tries to repath through an unoccupied exit to the chain block, but there is none? For example if its original path, and only unoccupied exit to the circle, was to a dead-end stati...

Renamed the character entity type and name from "player" to "character" to make it consistent with how we call/access it in all other places.

Looks like we are waiting for the API docs to be updated? I don't want to guess exactly which references were changed.

Yep, burner inserters only work with yellow belts. Not a bug.

the base game displays nothing if no description is present. yet if you use it in a localized_description ..., we get the missing locale error string unless a description exists Hey, this is starting to narrow down to something that could be considered a bug! The game treats a missing description e...

I did some more thinking on this. When a train should enter a block but can't, push it onto a FIFO associated with the block. When the block empties, pull a train from the FIFO and let only it in. Adding a generic behavior to do this is actually very complicated, especially to make it reliable, intu...

I have this problem on my Windows laptop sometimes, because it locks the touchpad controls while typing. Probably unrelated since it just started happening, but possibly related to their using different functions to access the keyboard in order to fix layout translation bugs?

This would be nice, but maybe it's more of a suggestion than a bug? The error text shows up in in the factorio_current.log file in the game directory, so I just copy it out of there to send to the mod author. It's usually more useful to send the whole log file anyway, since it shows what versions of...

Currently, you can implement this in vanilla by using a dummy stop of the same name. Put it just outside the stacker and behind a dozen circuit-closed rail signals. Make sure only chain signals are between the stacker track and the first closed dummy signal. When a train has no other option, it will...

Steps to Reproduce: Install the Dispatcher mod and load the attached save. Wait for the train to arrive at the Dispatcher Stop (blue). Since there is no Dispatcher Target signal being sent to the station, the mod replaces the train schedule with a single empty circuit condition. When you place a ca...

Not deploying robots from a train in automatic mode makes sense (it could leave at any time and be out of range way before the recalled robots make it back).

Would "robots inactive" apply to, say, activity in the Logistic Cargo Wagon?

You could just iterate through the list of items and look for ones where place_result is not nil, and also equal to your target name. Sure you would do a lot of searching if it wasn't an entity with a corresponding item, but that's okay since it only happens during load.

He gave you a console command to run while you are playing and have your mouse hovered over the resource you want to change. (/c tells the game to execute this code) Did you try to copy it into the game files or something?

Requester chests take priority over construction, and no bots can take items out of requester chests. (Use buffer chests if you want to request items for construction bots or personal requests.). But the furnaces put in the requester chest should still be there, unless an inserter took them out.

Think I answered my own question. Very first line of the Data Lifecycle page says Factorio sorts mods first by dependencies then by natural sort order accounting for case That implies the same sort order is applied at every point where arbitration between mods is required, including on_configuration...
