Factorio Forums

i have noticed that when i use a targetign remote to order a fire and there are 3 in range they fire more then just the 1 shot i orderd



i orderd 1 shot but there were 7 shots

my guess is it's not a bug. 1 order sent to 3 guns, getting 3 shells sounds right to me.
[edit] oh you said 7?

It would certainly explain how my friend yesterday used up 250 shells in a matter of a few minutes yesterday in multiplayer. Seems like marking a target should fire only one shell, though. Or enough shells to guarantee its destruction based on artillery damage?

Marking a target does only fire 1 shell unless you've got a mod that changes it.

Or your mouse is super broken and is clicking 7 times

See, that's what I thought. I haven't used manual artillery much, the automatic range is plenty! (And it's a lot more fun to watch.)

Into "Not a Bug" this thread goes?

i dont have a mod installed that changes anything , and mouse clicks 2 times at most XD

Unless someone else can show that it's happening outside of your game I'm not seeing anyone else have the same problem. The game also has specific logic in place to only fire once t artillery in the base game so I still suspect your mouse is simply clicking extra times or the artillery is firing at nests/worms in automatic mode.

Was repeatedly starting new games while doing some mod work just now (restarting Factorio every two minutes is fun!) and one of the times I clicked "Start" to generate a fresh map and start the freeplay, I heard the click sound effect three times.

It only happened when I clicked by tapping my MacBook Pro's touchpad. Infuriatingly, I was unable to repeat the behavior after the first occurrence.

In my case, it could be an intermittent issue with the Boot Camp touchpad drivers under Windows 7. But it doesn't seem to be a bug in Factorio itself.
