Factorio Forums

We were conducting some testing on username length, my friend determined that 25% of the Bee Movie script was roughly the maximum length possible in a Factorio username before it crashes, but this has negative effects on GUIs such as the new blueprint dialog, making it impossible to create a new blueprint. The dialog redraws itself after a window resize to at least give access to existing blueprint buttons.

Before: After:

I don't consider this worth the time to "fix". Just don't do that

Apparently throwing the Bee Movie at something for stress testing is now going to be a valid procedure and the best way to see how things horribly break.

But regardless, I guess the simple fix is simply truncating usernames in the UI with a leading '...' after so many characters.
