Re: Friday Facts #327 - 2020 Vision

On one hand, it's interesting to see how the old tutorial would play with all the new UI changes (i.e. expanded tooltips). On the other hand, I'm sad to hear that the NPE ended up being another aspect of the game that gets scrapped after I volunteered my time and effort into improving it (string ...

As opposed to what? What do you consider the most important feature still missing from the game?

Re: How to draw attention of moderators to posts that don't break rules?

Thank you for your inputs.

In this case I suggest changing the confusing phrasing on the reporting page,
Reporting should generally be used only if the post breaks forum rules. to something clearer, like Reporting is typically for when posts break forum rules, but can also be used to draw ...

Re: Compilatron says "Press the Unknown key to toggle"

Would you please try doing a clean install of the game and see if this still happens? I think this has something to do with either a broken update or manual tweaking of the game files.

How to draw attention of moderators to posts that don't break rules?

Hello everybody,

Suppose there's a post (by somebody else) which seems to be posted in the wrong sub-forum (e.g. Suggestions instead of Bugs ). Now I would like to draw the attention of a mod so that it is moved to the appropriate place. What is the right way to do so? Should I use a flag? Should I ...

Re: About [local language translation],no more [unknown key: xxxxx]

If I understand correctly, what you're suggesting is to keep the English term when localization isn't available. I thought this was happening by default already. Regardless, it's strange that you see so many unlocalized (or broken?) strings, since both the simplified and the traditional Chinese ...

For me the answer is simple - I need this functionality in a non-modded MP game, otherwise I would probably have used LuziferSenpai's "Rich Text Helper"

Re: Changes to rich-text-input

+1.

I would love to have some "emoji-like" button near text fields that would allow easy picking of entities to add to text. I mostly link to images of items and not the items themselves (i.e. [img=item/foo-bar-baz] ), so shift-clicking an item/recipe when the chat is open is not useful to me. I'm ...

Re: Version 0.17.75


I realized that some of the tooltips, most notably for splitters, are different between the base game and the new player experience. Is that intended?


This issue comes up from time to time in localizations (Crowdin), so I can say with certainty that the developers are well-aware of most (if not ...

Re: Friday Facts #307 - 0.17 stable candidate

I find it strange that you only count "unhandled bug reports". What about "minor issues", of which there are almost 400? I know you guys want to "be done with it already", but you already "admitted" that these were indeed issues.

So unless "minor issues" is another way of saying "won't fix", it ...

Re: [Dominik][0.17.60] Fluid mixing by rotation


No, underground pipes did not connect so there is no fluid mixing. ... Fluid mixing is if you manage to connect two fluid boxes with different filters.

I see your point. What I meant was that the pipes appear connected when you glance at them (w/o mousing over). If they appear connected but are ...

So as a solution I have instead prevented the action that triggered the problem. In this case and the upgrade there is an error text imploring the player to fix the blocked connection
