Not sure if this is spam, or an actual person trying to contact the forum admins. This person is emailing me thinking that I am a admin on this site. Looks like he wants to advertise here.

Hi, me and my friend are having problems with multiplayer. We use the latest game version and built in the game multiplayer. When I create a public game, my friend can see it in the list but cannot connect to it. When my friend created a public server I was able to connect to it only the first time...

Hey thanks! I'll just pretend the lamp is a soet of "fusion bomb" or somthing!

Ok, so, what do I mean by a realistic(ish) nuke? Well, 1 : The bomb itself is a placeable structure that's pretty large in size, comparable to a vanilla nuclear reactor. 2 : The bomb has a MASSIVE radius when detonated, about 500 (min) to 1000 (max) Area of Effect size. (I know this will basically m...

That's............ interesting........

But where do the nails go? All I see in the magazine area is a battery, which granted, is needed to drive a nail gun, but where then do the nails go?

As for what I would use it for: Extreme House Construction.

I understand that you have put in a lot of time and effort into that world, but it's really time to let it go . In computer standards, from 0.12.xx to 0.16.xx is a very, very long time. Corruption is almost bound to happen when you use a old file in a new client. Especially if that file and client a...

Check it: 0.368 Error ServerMultiplayerManager.cpp:95: MultiplayerManager failed: "Map version 0.12.35-0 cannot be loaded because it's lower than the minimum input version" This gives us one of two possible causes: Either the host is using an outdated version of Factorio, or the map is jus...

Since you didn't state "taking it apart and making more isn't allowed" in the rules... Scenario 1: I'm not a asshole. I would immediately start disassembling it and reverse-engineer it for the schematics. I would then create more portal guns and patent them, and then I would make a startup...

What do all of these have in common? They all describe the free, open-source game for Windows and Linux: Barotrauma. Created by the same mastermind who made SCP: Containment Breach, Barotrauma has you controlling a crewmember of a submarine located underneath of the surface of Europa, one of Jupiter...

Taco For I

It's a anagram of factorio.

I would post ASCII art of a taco here, but the forum's font isn't a monospace font, so it looks all weird. I vote that we change the forum's font to one that is monospace. Anyone here agree?

So, recently, one of my alternate email accounts got hacked. Some guy in Turkey decided that it was a good day to preform a cybercrime, so he breached my email, and gained access to it. As soon as this happened, Google picked up on the suspicious login attempt, and immediately suspended the account....

Any ideas why that is the case?

If you're talking about my image, then I have no idea. Maybe it's a bug with your internet browser. Here's a direct link to my image, if you need it.

Here's mine. I make fun of myself in this one, considering my old habit of using the "cure-all" for factorio bugfixes.

What you can see in the image is just a small part of a 20GW nuclear setup. It's not my design, but it's come in very handy. Thanks goes out to "nthexwn" for his design in the post below, which has all the info: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=208&t=50293 I currently have ...

[Koub] Removed posts saying "why should we care" and subsequent answers as they're irrelevant. If you don't care, don't read the topic. Aw man! I liked my response! I was in the philosophical zone when I wrote that... Like, proper Leonardo Da Vinci mode... :cry: Oh well! If the mods deem ...

Well, never say never. People have done even more impressive things on the internet. I'd say it is impossible for a single human being. It takes magnitudes greater than a lifetime of Factorio running continously in the background to reach the limit of 64 bit. [edit] If you run Factorio for 100 year...

It will overflow at 9 223 372 036 854 775 295 (~9e18), which is 512 (2^9) short of a signed Int64. That's actually kind of a bug, since Int64 should only overflow at ...807, and the documentation says it's a UInt64 (or a double for fluids I think), which should overflow at ~18e18. Not sure if that'...

I works much better in the context of factorio.

Still the same concept, though.
