System Admin here, just wanted to weigh in that %localappdata% is imho the "technically correct" best place to store larger files like Factorio save games. I can give a specific technical example of a problem this could cause in the real world. In a Windows Domain, a feature called "R...

Is this really resolved? What was changed to resolve it? :>

I tested this for Sparr in Vanilla 0.17.43 and can confirm. This behaviour definitely doesn't look right.

That is using the new Rich Text system. :>

Not using mac, but I do this by hovering over the assembling machine with the items on my cursor, and hitting Z.
Z drops 1 item, dropping it on top of an assembling machine puts it inside. Also useful for putting a few ammo in each turret, etc..
Hopefully this method works for you..

I ran memtest and found errors, so this is most likely due to faulty hardware on my side.

I was reformatting some pipes at my refinery, when an autosave began. The progress bar stayed at the bottom for a while, then I alt-tabbed and found the message that the game had crashed.

Thanks for your continuing efforts, and for keeping us all in the loop! :>
Saving the tank/car color is a really nice change.

My GUI scale is at the default, Automatic (100%).
Thanks for confirming this isn't just me :>

Now using 0.17.42 and I spotted another.

During my long play sessions I've occasionally noticed some minor rendering bugs. They don't interfere with my play experience whatsoever, but I thought it might be helpful to document them. :> Here's a small collection of the ones I've seen. Checkboard pattern on dense diagonal rails from map view:...

I absolutely *love* the new graphics for the chemical plant, and I think colourful smoke sounds awesome ! :D By the way, thanks for continuing to resolve the bugs ! I will just provide another weekly reminder that Factorio is incredibly stable and bug-free for the most part, and it's entirely becaus...

Interesting. It reminds me I have some unanswered questions about train pathfinding, this seems like a good place to ask.. First question, does the pathfinder iterate through blocks, or through "segments"? A block is defined by rail signals which demarcate the edges of the block, but a seg...

Received another one. Seems very similar to the last. I had left the game running for at least 48 hours to be fair.. 0000000076DDD348 (ntdll): (filename not available): KiUserExceptionDispatcher c:\cygwin64\tmp\factorio-build-rew5h8\src\map\advancedtile.cpp (93): AdvancedTile::~AdvancedTile ERROR: S...

I had heard that too! I guess small trains might benefit more from tightly spaced signals, because they have a shorter stopping distance since they're less heavy. Big trains naturally drive really far apart from each other because they have so much mass/momentum. So spacing the signals close togethe...

Why would doubling the number of signals, without changing the number of forks, cause the pathfinder time to more than double? Because of the way the pathfinder algorithm works. I'll try to explain using my limited understanding - if I get anything wrong I'm sure someone will jump in and correct me...

Hi, I have an idea for a a way around this problem. You could create 3 rail signals just to the left of the 3 train stops that are working (so, 9 signals total). They could be somewhere along the straight where the trains naturally park anyway. These signals need to be changed to Red via circuit net...

Apologies for necro'ing such an old thread, but I referred to this very thread during the design phase for my latest rail interchange, and I now have something important to add to the discussion! Having rail signals every 2 tiles is a bad idea if the amount of rails/trains is high, because it can ca...

I removed a ton of signals... thousands.. And now things are a lot faster. :> I did not realize that an excessive number of signals could cause the pathfinder update time to explode like that. Also, the trains didn't really seem to behave much differently with fewer signals on the track. I think on ...

Great, thanks ! :>
