But that's the thing. It just feels like we've gotten the tutorial mixed up with a challenge scenario. Tutorials aren't meant to challenge, they're meant to teach and be completable by 100% of all players. All new players. Players with established ideas, prejudices, and habits often have significan...

If even an experienced player is not able to hold against the biters. how fast will new players see the game a worthless spend money? I thought that too at first. And then I realised that I'd been conditioned to play a certain way, and it was time for a rethink. That can't be a bad thing. It's like...

Search isn't turning up any similar issues for me, so here goes. Can't quite tell if it's my imagination here. I've noticed if you craft something manually, when the graphic appears in the build queue in the lower left, it takes a second or so before the 'progress meter' shows up on the icon. Crafti...

this is no bug! same as in 0.16.51
the train has no destination goal and is stopping instant!
its very usefull if you place a single railpiece with station "#FULLSTOP" I use this for fast breaks.

Just because you find it useful does not mean that's how it's supposed to work

BTW, I created a railword map with enemy expansion turned on (minimum cooldown raised to something like 12 or 16 minutes -- i.e. three or four times the default value -- to still give me time for building stuff). At least, I intended to turn on enemy expansion; I'm not really sure whether I acciden...

I'm playing the latest branch (v0.17.4) and noticed that... before, you got a warning sound when your buildings were attacked ("alert-damage.ogg" in "Factorio\data\core\sound"). But not anymore ? I only get an alert ("alert-destroyed.ogg") if something is destroyed (= ...

How do I clear an entry out of the new quickbar? I have 4 different cells all showing my 3 yellow belts.
The only way I've found to clear the cursor now is to re-open my inventory (E) and drop stuff back in it.

What am I missing?

Middle mouse button

An upgrade planner is included in vanilla now. Though it probably doesn't have all the same features

Link please? Google isn't turning up any info about this for me.

Edit: Never mind, I'm dumb. Hint to others: Check out the shiny new toolbar buttons

I am against this suggestion. In my opinion, it would be better if the following suggestion were implemented: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=51387 Rail car/locomotive scanners That way, it would be possible to read the contents of individual wagons/locomotives using the circuit...

Note the protruding curved rail below the blueprint window.

TL;DR A modifier to the train wait conditions, to apply them to one, multiple, or all wagons. What ? e.g. Instead of saying 'Cargo is empty', or 'Cargo is full', we can specify 'one wagon is empty', etc. Obviously not all existing conditions would work with per-wagon basis. Why ? Increases flexibil...

Hi,
Full cargo is not working as before. It no longer cares for disabled spaces.

Please fix

//Kind regards

Something's off though. Only 1/4 of the wagon is filled, but it shows 50% progress. You sure you don't have another wagon attached?

I'm actually just gonna leave it at that.

The stats on Steam are an indicator that Factorio is not the opposite of a good game, then.

indeed the newbie is the intended audience. within the forumjust find how many newbies are confused and frustrated Um... one, that I've seen. Just about everyone I've seen confused and frustrated has been a longtime veteran of the game. I could be wrong; I don't read every single post in every sing...

How tor reproduce: 1. Build a long track and place a train on one end. 2. Give the train some fuel and start moving in "manual" mode. 3. While driving (fast), click on the train to open the train GUI and toggle the switch to change the mode to "automatic". The train will stop in...

When trying to build an offshore pump in an invalid location on land, it gives the error message "Can't build on Dirt #" (Or grass, whatever). That's obviously the tile type ID, but should be replaced with a generic "Can't build on land" message. Or better still, "Can only b...

Makes sense.

Are you referring to the hotkeys for the secondary quickbar? ah, 10 lines for the buttons, 10 lines for selecting a hotbar as first hotbar and 10 lines for selecting a hotbar as second hotbar !? then i had misunderstood it, taking it to mean an alternate hotkey instead of a hotkey for an alternate ...
