Hi Whilst working on a set of rail blueprints for a city-block style game I noticed that blueprints failed to place completely even when they were placed entirely into the visible part of the screen. Expected behaviour is that if all entities in the blueprint are visible on the screen, then the blue...

it's already available on the "experimental" branch, and you should test your saves now if you want them to work properly when 1.1 is marked as stable. because then 1.1 won't be getting bug fixes, just like how 1.0 doesn't anymore. I still expect bug fixes for 1.1 after it was marked stab...

Not sure if this is your issue, but I think there is some bugged behavior occurring when blueprints are out of roboport range. For example, try printing something very large outside robotport range and the robots will grind to a halt. Or at least they did for me in 1.1.6 or so. That is not a bug. I...

True. But can you tell me why Encrypted Silhouette would want to automate flushing of fluids otherwise? Re-read the OP. My guess is that light and/or heavy keeps backing up and shutting down his refineries. But even if he did want to share a pipeline between multiple fluids, he describes himself as...

If you want to use a pipeline for subsequently for different fluids, you want to flush them first. The only thing I can think of is using a line->pump->tank->pump->(same)line setup. The first pump is circuit controlled to flush before any other liquids enter the line. The second pump reinserts the ...

Solid fuel -> Useless burner inserter contraption If you are still using stoner/steel furnaces, you can use a priority splitter to feed them on solid fuel. And/or you can feed solid fuel to boilers and use it for electricity. (Even if you are on solar power, the generators will still work overnight...

There was indeed a penalty because I had set up the incoming rail signal to be red til station has a full load for a train. I removed that and got less re-pathing, but it still happens that trains in the stacker leave to another station. Why do you have the bypass? Having a bypass means that trains...

When installing a second copy of Factorio I recommend using the .zip version. The .exe version and the Steam version by default will both share the same working directory, which is likely to cause problems.

I don't know where i can get my Log file...
i was searching for it in %Appdata% but can't find...

For my steam install, the logfile is in %Appdata%/Factorio

My load time is 5 seconds (without any mods, but with windows having cached file access from a recent load).
I suggest posting your logfile.

how this got overwritten then ? I don't know what happened, but my guess is something like, when you updated to 1.1.9, the game overwrote the old 1.1.8 version of the mod settings with a 1.1.9 version. When you went back to 1.1.8, the 1.1.9 version probably failed to load the mod settings, so Facto...

Settings are located at the address found in: C:\Program Files\Factorio\config-path.cfg (open it with a text editor to see/edit the path) Mod settings are located in: C:\Program Files\Factorio\mods\mod-settings.dat Only if Factorio is installed in C:\Program Files\Factorio More generally https://wi...

factorio automatic steam update notice ... how do i disable it? By updating the game. Or by using the .zip version. (You probably want to disable the option to check for updates at startup). I expect the .exe installer would also work (but probably better to use the .zip version because it won't ov...

One more confusing test I used the decon planer to deconstr trees outside roboport range and drove into range and the bots worked! Then placed a few ghost rails outside roboport and the bots didn't work. So the inconsistency with deconstr/constr wasn't that I only deconed trees inside the roborange...

We can't diagnose all possible causes from 30 seconds of video. If you want people to help, then post the save.

I'm trying to find the theorem that bares this concept, but don't know how to describe it in a way that google gets me the results I need. Anyone have a name on this?

Try searching for stuff like exponential growth.

I bought the game to play together with a friend (2 PCs, same network). If the server/host and client are on the same network, then you shouldn't need to use port forwarding. Just select the "LAN" tick box when hosting, and "Browse LAN games" on the client. If the client still c...

Maybe. I suspect there are advanced train puzzles which you don't have to solve with current UPS limits, but they will be largely solved by extending out UPS. Unless wube adds more at scale train features, this should be the end of it. Certainly the current round of train features almost beg for la...

You have probably already checked, but it is easy to miss a wire/forget to set the circuit signals on an inserter.

Check your power production. Combinators don't always update when low on power. (viewtopic.php?f=23&t=91175).

I suggest providing the logfiles and screenshots requested in viewtopic.php?f=7&t=68653
