Re: [SOLVED][0.18.32] Blueprint library restoration?
This thread helped me a lot. I had a problem restoring my blueprint library (blueprint-storage.dat) from a backup after I've deleted it for testing stuff. nb: I had my blueprints still available even after deleting the file, I had to delete all books/blueprints from the ingame menu to get it empty....

Re: Friday Facts #362 - Menu simulation, Spidertron, Ghost building, Confirm button
I like it, does this mean you can now build a wall of rails to prevent a spidertron from going somewhere? Spideyboi can still step between the rails: Also when all those rails are curved? I don't know what kind of intersections you will be making but I think it will be okay https://forums.factorio....

Re: Friday Facts #362 - Menu simulation, Spidertron, Ghost building, Confirm button
Well the solution we missed is so obvious. The connections inside the blueprint are strictly following the original, while the connections to the entities already existing on the map are being automatically created as before. So you should be able to use blueprints as before even if you don't care ...

Re: Friday Facts #361 - Train stop limit, Tips and tricks
do you have a tip for wiring up things like transport belts that you wouldn't necessarily think could be connected to a circuit network (speaking of which, I think the tag "wireable" should be included in the tooltips of applicable items. On more than one occasion I've tried to wire someth...

Re: Friday Facts #357 - Nuke
The second problem is that blueprints are often designed to work in a grid, but there is no way to enforce it. Either you have to build slowly and cautiously, or you misclick often. And with the new feature of building in map, the problem was just elevated. This is what the second checkbox is for, ...

Re: Electric network cable connections saved in the blueprint
This isn't going to happen. It simply doesn't work as anyone imagines it would. If a blueprint saved the connections when it was created when you built it, it would literally never connect to your existing network(s) because it was not connected to any of them when it was created. The idea is that ...

Re: Friday Facts #355 - High resolution updates
I wonder if the slow effect bubbles wouldn't look much better if they got an offset of a few pixels up. Now it looks like flying ball under biters legs. If it was on the main torso it could look much better in my opinion. but it's the biter's legs that are being slowed down/made "sticky"?...

Oh, didn't realize that. My bad!

[QoL][clipboard][BP] optionally include tiles when copying
since the idea of the copy & paste tools is to avoid having to make temporary blueprints, I find it strange I still have to do so when I want to copy some tiles that are under whatever else I'm copying. It doesn't happen often, but when it happens (most often when I'm deploying train tracks near...

Re: Friday Facts #336 - Offshore pump redesign
the Hi-Rez pump looks SO much nicer than the existing graphic (no offense to whoever made the current one...), especially factoring in the point you made about how the one side can overlap land in small enough bodies of water. Looking forward to the update!
