g Issue with Even Distribution Mod and Yellow Ammo Distribution

a month ago

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing an issue with the Even Distribution mod when using CTRL + drag to distribute yellow ammo across turrets. When starting the drag on a turret, the ammo is not distributed evenly. The first turret receives all items directly, and only subsequent turrets get the correct distribution. However, starting the drag from an empty space results in correct distribution across all turrets.

Has anyone else encountered this? Any insights or fixes would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi, you have to start the drag on an empty space for it to work correcty.

From the description:

Pick an item, hold CTRL and Click Drag it over multiple buildings.
Start dragging while NOT hovering over a building with the mouse.

i have a similar issue, it happens with anything i want to fast transfer, note i am using the keybind name not the default control scheme, as i remapped so many controls, i dont recall the default keys.
in order to get the items distributed evenly, i have to use fast transfer while hovering over the entity,
and have more than one stack of the item in my pocket, if less than one stack, all the items transfer and i can no longer distribute the items evenly,
after transferring into one entity, i have to hover over that same entity again to get the highlight, then over all the remainder entities,
after all that, then everything gets balanced evenly.
if i press the button before i hover over the entity nothing happens when i hover over the entity,

Thats interesting, are you using the newest mod version? And have you tried it with the default keybinds?

If so, it would probably help if you can send a savefile where I can reproduce this, since I never had that issue myself.

this bug appears to have been fixed in 2.0.10
i downloaded the game zip for default key binds from factorio.com and tried to replicate the issue again, and could not.
then logged into steam, and factorio updated, after which i could no longer replicate the issue.
this may have been a core bug.
thanks for trying.
