tl;dr No error while reading, but error when attempting to write to LuaPlayer::mining_state when in ghost controller.

When a player is in certain controllers, such as ghost when waiting to respawn, the property "mining_state" is readable but not writable. From the API docs it is not clear what the ...

Hey, I am new player, I went into the game without knowledge and figured stuff as I went.

At the start I didn't mind the bugs, I thought they are just background noise.
At some point they attacked my factory so I had to destroy their nests, thinking nothing of it.. even enjoyed it as it gave me an ...

TL;DR
In late-game and post-game Factorio (when you load a normal end-game save, you might not even see a single uncommon small biter while everything else is already behemoth-tier), biters become easy to kill yet so numerous they cause massive lag. My suggestion replaces these infinite swarms ...

not sure if this helps, but the only time I got performance drops on the most current space age, was when trying to go to the shattered planet, and only at a certain zoom level. the ups kept being fine, but the frames dropped on a m1max macbook playing in clamshell mode on a 120hz 4k tv. what I had ...

New single player, no mods game. Setup an automatic train running in a circle. Get run over by the train.
After respawn:

My friend reloaded his dedicated server save, and it duplicated his player. Respawned him as a new, empty player with identical name but my pin view still followed the old version and then I could pin both. No mods were used, vanilla Factorio Space Age.

/Kick ing the old one and rejoining didn't ...

Turrets are already incredibly over smart in their targeting, damage calculation, and ability to find and shoot at any beats or worms within their area near perfectly.

We have no interest in trying to make them even smarter/more complex.

At that point in research you have infinite resources and ...

Hello everyone, I think factory games should not be limited to industrial development mods, but should be developed and diversified gameplay mods. Here are some ideas for a doomsday mod gameplay that I wish someone could make, because I don't develop mods.


No technology tree: Players cannot unlock ...

This is similar to how Space exploration is. Except, there is no infinite resource aside from mining productivity bonus (and of course, none of the SE tehnology)

The key elements are that everything, including water, is finite

All the planets are, again, just like how space exploration is, limited ...

While it's a bit unintuitive, there are workarounds.
1) Use filters (middle click) on all weapon and ammo slots to set the configuration you want. When you respawn you will still be given the pistol, but it will not get equipped. Additionally, use logistic request for zero pistols to move it to ...

When a player dies in space they respawn on the planet they visited most recently. Is there a way to read a players most recently visited planet during runtime? I don't want to kill the player but I do want to teleport them to their most recently visited planet from space. I looked in LuaPlayer ...

No; all I've figured out is that it happens sometimes after dying.

I did try placing, replacing contents of, and creating new blueprint before suiciding to see if those reliably make it crash. None did. It only seems to happen if I've been playing for a while.

I can confirm though, that it's after ...

1. Died (to a horde of large biters while attempting to clear a base, if it matters)
2. Before I respawned (possibly when the respawn button appeared or when i clicked it, but possibly before, I can't remember) the game crashed. The error/stacktrace indicates that it was due to a consistency check ...

Hi,
I'm on Vulcanus, and I remote-drove my tank on Nauvis over to a biter nest at the edge of radar range, and surprisingly the biters were frozen. After attacking, they responded normally, attacking my tank; but when I retreated, the new biters that respawned were also frozen.
I loaded the save ...

Thanks for the quick reply !!
However ,where should i replace such :

local util = require("util")
local silo_script = require("silo-script")

local created_items = function()
return
{
["iron-plate"] = 8,
["wood"] = 1,
["pistol"] = 1,
["firearm-magazine"] = 10,
["burner-mining-drill"] = 1 ...

Do you know of any way to get a known good save file into this state? This looks like classic memory corruption of the entity position which has historically always been failing RAM/CPU.

Hopefully this is it. I apologize for the delayed response.

Just now realized that the game also crashes, yes definitely post the log as well.

I have a medium demolisher that has spawned in the starting location of vulcanus. I have a well established base on vulcanus, and this guy should definitely not be here. Yet, here is part of his body. Every time I try to kill him he crashes my game with an error log. Additionally, when I try to just ...

Factorio version 2.0.39 Space Age

Playing on a server with a Linux client, died, then before respawn, noticed the new tip button next to the tips and tricks button with a new tips and tricks, clicked on it before respawn, crash. Log attached.
