Error opening my Saves

Hi team! Been loving this game since not long it was released! I have a weird error. I have been playing the last few months, and had added a number of mods. I stopped playing for a week or so, then i came back to play, and when I went to load a save, a box pops up that reads: create_directories &qu...

Re: Poison Artillery Shells issue

Great! Thanks for the replies! I will take the tanks & Poison shells for worm rides! :twisted: I was looking at the robots, they are going to take quite a large setup to produce them, quite a lot of new parts, and for each type, esp all the way up to the laser robots! But I will work my way thro...

Re: Where are the descriptions to all these mods???

Yes, i understand your position, I didnt realize how much work was involved, it just I have seen a lot of people making mods with no info.. its frustrating when you try to use it and nothing happens, or you dont know what goes with what. But it is unfair of me to be so critical, now that I see what ...

Poison Artillery Shells issue

Maybe I am using the Poison Artillery Shells wrong, but when i load them into the artillery cannon, they just vanish. this is the yellow artillery, not the red experimental. Is this a bug, or am i doing something wrong? Appreciate any help, as I would like to clear the worms around the spawners befo...

Re: White light flashes on map

Ahh, so it will scan pretty far from the range that I can see? Does it update just in the squares that it happens? It did it over a base, but I didnt see any of the biters, which I would think I could have, if it was scanned? Or will it only show the location of newly established bases?

White light flashes on map

I keep seeing a square on the map light up for a few seconds. This occurs outside the radar areas, and mostly around biter bases. What does that signify? Does that mean a new base is being created? Or a biter has been born? Seems to happen too often to be a new base, I am very curious as to what tha...

Need Help installing mods.

I downloaded the portable version, was that a mistake? I then DL'ed about 25 mods, and put many of the zip files in the Mods folder which was in teh Tests folder in the Factorio_0.15.34 folder that i had downloaded. When I started the game, none of them showed up in the mods screen. So I went into t...

Where are the descriptions to all these mods???

Why is there no information about what these mods do? Your description for the warfare is "Adds warfare stuffs." Thats it? What are you, 2 years old? Where the hell can i find detailed descriptions for your mods? I would like to try them out, but I am not going to throw a ton of new materi...

Your Zip file does not work

Whats the point of having a downloadable zip file with no installer in it? How am i supposed to install the game from that? :?: :?

Nevermind - I found it buried in the 64x folder... why isnt it in the main folder?

Using the Machine Gun on the tank. Cant get it to shoot

How do you get the machine gun on the tank to shoot? The Cannon shoots with the space bar, but when I press Q to switch to the machine gun, and it does highlight that it switched ( to the right), I press space bar and nothing happens. I do have ammo in the gun. I can take a snapshot if needed! Appre...

Thanks!

Re: 2 Oily Questions!

To be honest, I've always just added plants until I reached equilibrium without doing any calculations. At least in part because I was usually quite short of oil, so investing heavily in extra refineries and chem plants for light oil cracking was pointless. When I played with the Marathon mod, I fo...

Re: 2 Oily Questions!

I set up my oil production for plastic, I needed a lot. Here is the setup I am using, I have 4 refineries running like 8 plastic chemlabs. The ones connected to the tanks are running very fast, the 2 connected to the refineries are pretty slow, i will work to get them tanked. http://s26.postimg.org/...
