You can register your Steam purchase on Factorio.com and download it directly from there without using your Steam password, but you are correct that only the Linux headless server package is available without logging in.

It's not stuck. Once the output is emptied of the recipe product, then the spoilage will be moved to the trash slot. It's like this so that idle machines don't constantly load more ingredients that spoil inside them.

Tl;dr it's more work on the backend, especially navigating the full dependency tree, but hopefully they can add it eventually.


I don't think it would need to navigate the full dependency tree, just slap the label whenever a mod is uploaded that adds a dependency with the label or enables a ...

When the configuration changes, the game automatically recalculates which recipes should be unlocked based on all the technologies that have been researched. That way, if a mod adds a new recipe to an early tech, it gets unlocked immediately.

In your case, the recipes are not unlocked by any ...

Why should the robots waste explosives if they can mine it directly?

Is your actual intention to make a cliff that players can mine but robots cannot?

Here's a different hack: make a dummy item as the product of the recipe that immediately spoils into the item you want. I'm not sure if it can spoil into a specific quality, but you can also attach a script trigger to the spoiling and change the quality of the output in code.

I agree this is an interesting idea. A better way to describe it is putting a blacklist filter for a particular on one of the outputs.

Looks like this mod will swap wire colors in a blueprint for you. https://mods.factorio.com/mod/BlueprintTools

The very convenient helper function function math2d.bounding_box.contains_point(box, point) always assumes box.orientation=0. When orientation is nonzero and the box is not square, it does not accurately tell you whether a given point is inside a given bounding box. The is true of all the bounding ...

The title is incomprehensible. The only way to explain what you mean is break down what you did step by step and where your expectations did not match what you observed. Are you talking about item/fluid prototype definitions, or item/fluid ingredients listed in a recipe prototype? Do you mean the ...

Sounds like too far gone. Just reload save from before map editor experiment.


Yeah, unfortunately I don't have one of those. The last autosave was from right after I executed the editor changes. Sigh...


Always save the map to a named file as soon as you start it. Then the game will prompt ...

This "linking" of the EACH signals is useful. Think it this way. It enables you to create signals from nothing on one wire as well as compare to 0 (usually not possible with EACH), if these signals are present on the other wire. It's the only place in Factorio where you're able to have a ...

Synchronizing those checkboxes would reduce the functionality of the combinator. There is no obvious/simple way to "fix" this without eliminating other ways the combinator could be used intentionally.


I meant only for the entries where the Each signal is selected. It would be a rather invasive ...

It makes sense to me since I know how Each works. It seems like the only way to communicate that to the user would be to synchronize the R/G boxes on all Each entries in a given combinator.

IIRC, I discovered by accident that Aquilo uses an effect trigger event to create ice under it. (I had copied it and somehow ice was spawning on Nauvis, traced back to the build effect trigger on the resource entity.) That sounds like exactly what you want.

Crafting machine, yes, it will always fit. Other things, not always.

I just saw another idea that it would also fix:

It would not solve this request. The inserter still will not pick up the spoilage from the first lab unless the second lab ...

The last case I'm aware of where spoilage can cause inserter deadlocks was fixed recently (maybe still in experimental). In all cases, the inserter should be able to dispose of its spoilage while the machine is operating. If you find other cases in the latest release where this does jot happen, you ...

My apologies, I wrote my post without testing it myself.

I tested Tranzalore' blueprint in 2.0.55 first and observed the original very strange behavior. I then loaded the save in 2.0.58 and observed it operating correctly as Loewchen said. I don't know how to reproduce what Tranzalore put in their ...

Tranzalore describes a very specific bug with a simple fix. The bug is that buffer chests whose requests are fulfilled are dropped from the list of active requests, which then lets their contents count toward fulfilling other requests, even though the buffer chest request can only remain fulfilled ...
