I hope this works and thanks for your help.

I was about to start building my rail network when I noticed that I can't build on floor tiles like concrete, bricks etc. and when I try to build concrete on a tile that is occupied by a rail the rail disappears.

My mods: Krastorio 2, Space Exploration, AAI Industries, AAI Vehicles, Transport Drones, Alien Biomes and a few QoL mods.

Is this an intended feature or a bug? Has anybody experienced something similar?

I don't know which mod is causing this so instead of reporting a bug on some mod that isn't even responsible for it I was hoping to get some help here.

Thanks.

paging /u/posila on the writeup about why landfills were happening directly under the player, since it didn't make it into the friday facts :)

I think we have differing images of what a “group of units” is in our heads.

In this context, I perceive Factorio to be similar to an RTS game like Starcraft, where a player can drag-select a group of units on their screen and then right-click on an enemy base to send them to battle. In Starcraft, units of different speeds/movement capabilities would behave independently and would, yes, arrive separately. This provides a challenge for the player, but also gives consistent and predictable results of what will happen when you command a group of units to go somewhere: they will arrive as fast as they can regardless of what kinds of units were selected.

In an 4X game like Stellaris a fleet of units would be behaving as you describe, but that would require the player to explicitly designate a selection of units as a “fleet”.

This behavior of mixed group of biters feels counterintuitive to me. I would expect units of different kinds to have independent pathing: fast units get to the destination quicker than slow units, fliers take direct path while walkers have to walk around. Maybe that’s just my RTS background talking.

I had a lot of issues with the mod when it first released. Frequent crashes, abysmal pathing, and just plain not working with the logistics beacons and chests.

I noticed JD and Tuplex seem to have had a lot more success with the personal drones recently, but neither have used or made any mention of the logistics beacon setup as far as I've seen. Is that still part of the mod, and if so does it work better now?

That makes a ton of sense now.

My GPU somehow was mixing elements of windows and linux together across reboots. It has since been resolved but it made for extremely interesting results.

Not a bug with the game itself*

My Laptop has a bizarre dual GPU architecture whereby a single proprietary NVIDIA driver controls both a high end and integrated card, picking whichever one to use whenever appropriate. The manufacturer made sure this works absolutely fine in Windows, but in Linux things are a wee bit unstable.

This particular error occurred when putting the system to rest mode with factorio running in the background. It’s pretty interesting to look at nonetheless, and still technically playable. The map view and inventory screen are still completely normal.

From my knowledge all of Klonan's (or any other dev's) mods are ideas he/someone else had for the game, but were rejected because the rest of the team thought it wouldn't quite fit or wouldn't make the game more fun for everyone.

That's why he turned them into optional mods.

As shown above, this just started. I was running games on this server for a while, just switched maps, and now this starts with any map I try. The server factorio version is updated to the most recent. I even save the game on the server computer then try to launch, same thing. Any suggestions on why it thinks the maps are from a future version of the game?

EDIT: The server computer, when I run factorio normally (not headless) is build 0.18.21 (Build 51104, win64, steam)

EDIT 2: Other things I have tried, verifying game files, full uninstall / reinstall, trying versions 18.20, 18.19. Still shows the game loading as version 18.18, and the wrong build, but if I play factorio it shows the correct build.
