I'm starting a Seablock playthrough, and it's going to take a lot of AFK time. I figured I'd run the save on my server, so it can run constantly. My problem is that I can't seem to set myself as the server admin. 1. This save was started on my desktop (i.e. not on a Factorio server). 2. My server-se...

Actually, it's caused by a problem with the Autofill mod.

NOT A BUG.

Problem was caused by a mod. Please delete.

The logic for train wait conditions can get a little complicated. I'm totally supportive of not including any sort of parenthesis operator. Nonetheless, it would be kind of nice when a train menu is open for there to be a visual indication on what wait conditions have been met. Maybe a green check m...

The problem is that trains only recalculate their paths after passing a signal. Thanks, that's some great info! I think the solution is relatively straightforward but a little unsatisfactorily large. The solution is to wire up a Signal to behave like a Chain Signal by connecting it to all the signa...

this is a known issue. i believe it's being reworked in 0.15.* a workaround is to put a station before the splits that has a 0 second delay. it will force the train to re-calculate where to go and which lane is open. Interesting suggestion! Maybe I'll look into implementing something like this to m...

There are two issues here, one thing is, that trains don't (reliably) reevaluate a chosen path, so it can happen that the train takes an occupied path/station because it was the fasted/unoccupied when it checked the last time: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=14748. Cool. Yeah, ...

I've used this station complex design for a long time, but noticed that it's causing deadlocks now. It seems like Factorio isn't properly determining when a path is available to a station with the same name if its original destination is occupied. https://i.imgur.com/nz6hPjM.jpg The two stations wit...

Nope. You're focusing on the wrong things. The train in the bottom right isn't contributing to the deadlock; it's merely waiting on train that's actually deadlocked. Right. The top train is the problem. Your picture illustrates the future, but consider the past. It entered the intersection because ...

Nope. You're focusing on the wrong things. The train in the bottom right isn't contributing to the deadlock; it's merely waiting on train that's actually deadlocked. What do you think that train on the bottom right is blocking? The train on the left is loading, so it's not even trying to move. The t...

I appreciate you trying to help, but that signal is fine. The train is stopped there because the one above it is. The train in the top right is the deadlocked problem. It's waiting at a blue chain signal, which has a green signal to the right "iron output" station. The problem is that the ...

The deadlock is because of the normal signal in the middle of the intersection block. Remove it. Which signal? The signals at the "back" (top) of each station is required, or else only one station in the entire input/output station complex could be used at a time. Duplicate station names ...

Can you take a screenshot of the station names? This should work exactly as you expect, they are all lined up correctly. The only thing I can think, and cant see, is that they have the exact same name. They are the same name, or toggling to manual/auto modes wouldn't direct the train to the other s...

I've used the following design a ton in the past, but in my new save, it's not working at all. My trains are constantly getting deadlocked. https://i.imgur.com/h8dhHm6.jpg The idea is pretty simple. This is a "collector" station. It has two input stations in the middle (note the passive pr...

I frequently like to check out the mod portal in-game. Sorting by downloads is a great way to find new gems. The problem is that installing a mod requires reloading the modlist, but Factorio doesn't remember the sorting option, so it always loads the alphabetical modlist. Current behavior: Mods -> I...

No, I don't mind. It's a good idea to split the created ideas up from this thread to discuss them separately, but it's always a lot of work to do that. Then why is there any discussion of changing gameplay behavior to address a graphical issue? Makes no sense. How should I explain you that, if you ...

I was unsure how the barrel mechanic would work. If the barrel is actually consumed (and not just emptied), that allays my concern with steel. Yeah, I can make a mod with your recipes. I'll post it in a little bit. We can continue the SP balancing discussion afterwards. You can replace the science p...

We had since 0.6 dozens of working solutions to do exactly that (and they are still working I'm not aware of any that allow the player to set a singular setpoint based on accumulator charge. Perhaps you can share one? All of the solutions with which I'm familiar involve a ranged setpoint, which is ...

This gets back to the age-old problem with Factorio: If X requires maintenance, why don't belts and everything else with moving parts also need maintenance? Following that, what gameplay mechanic can the player reasonably use to service that many entities? Simple answer: Cause that is not interesti...

Suggestion #1: put two different circuit or logistic conditions into the power switch: one to turn ON and one to turn OFF. This ^^ is a best solution to prevent switch from jiggling around exact condition. It's worth pointing out that the latch solution doesn't accomplish the same thing. It causes ...
