[2.0.23] Factoriopedia tile lookup works in unexplored chunks

Post by InUniverse »

This can be done in seconds on a brand-new freeplay game, or performed in almost any existing save.

Open remote view, then ALT-click on the black part just outside of the explored map. More specifically, on any chunk that has been generated but not yet revealed. This pulls up a Factoriopedia entry for a tile that you cannot see.

Note that entity lookups are fine; they can only be done in chunks with active radar coverage.

Othe than ability to discover where is hidden water I don't see any potential issue with this… I wouldn't like to restrict alt+click to areas without radar coverage.
