All three autosaves and a somewhat earlier saves had the same issue. The last save before that was a month old

Is there any way this save can be rescued?

Apologies in advance for a complex story.

This morning I got random errors about sprite when loading my save. From my google history I think the error was "incorrect data check: __base__/graphics/entity/worm/worm-attack-mask-3.png". Reinstalling factorio didn't help, but restarting gave me a ...

In my attempt to draw letters using lava, I wanted to have a bigger lava lake.

I placed three reactors with about 8 tiles between them, heated them up to >900 degrees (using rocket fuel in a heating tower, but apparently that's ok :D), and shot the middle reactor.

What I expected to happen: the ...

Thanks for taking the time to look into this.

It turns out the problem only occurs in the editor extensions lab, presumably because it overrides the build functionality. Within the normal world, where actual bots have to go and do the work, the behaviour is as expected. So, it's probably a bug in ...

Apologies if I used the wrong terminology. I meant super forced pasting using control+shift+v

I still think this is a bug: why would super-force pasting an inserter with attributes X not result into the attributes X being preserved if pasted over an existing inserter of different type?

To reproduce:
- Place a stack inserter and set filter to green circuits
- Place another stack inserter and set filter to red circuits
- Place a fast inserter and set filter to red circuits
- Copy the first inserter and super-force-paste (control-shift-click) over both other inserters

What happens ...

Sounds like this is not the game for you..


I disagree. I agree with their first points (clearing wood and placing blueprints), and the solution is to use one of the mods (or console commands) to gift yourself construction bots at start (power armor, power source, portable roboport and 20 ...

So what do you think? Are there any other statistics improvements you can think about for 2.0?


I love to tinker with builds until the actual production matches the calculated maximum. It would be great to have output per second and/or more digits in the stats, both presumably through some ...

Thanks for the reply! non-blocking save was a godsend with K2SE. Note that this is the first time it occurred and it had no real impact, just figured it would be good to report...

Factorio froze while autosaving. It looks like the save actually did succeed (just restarted from autosave3 and seems fine), but factorio froze and I had to kill -9 it.

Last lines of log seem to suggest the save just never returned, but it's possible of course that something else caused the freeze ...

If an intermediate is only ever used for one thing then perhaps it should be more useful or be removed
You have no idea how much of a relief it is to read these words. This was my single biggest frustration when trying to play Space Exploration (unique single-use buildings that make unique ...

It was literally unplayable

Upgraded to .52 and issue no longer occurs, thanks! You guys are the best! <3

Excellent, thanks! I didn't see it on the forums but maybe it didn't look very well .

Playing a modded game (Krastorio 2), and IIRC I previously had weird issues that might be related to a hardware problem. However, played fine until updating to 1.1.51 this morning. I play the game for a couple minutes and it crashes. First time it happened while selecting an area to copy, but I ...

Nice!

I made a 10kspm base using modular raw-to-science units like that, but went for 500spm and used many-to-many ore trains rather than independent local units like this.

Did you consider doing direct-to-train mining to avoid the belts and inserters around ore fields? I think it makes it even ...

(the weird thing is, I played factorio for >5 years, and never had any stability issues, always playing experimental and also using mods. I didn't make major hardware or software changes in the last year(s), and now within a week I get crashes... Of course it's possible I have a new hardware issue ...

It's me again. Same base, same computer. Didn't have any crashes since the last post (a week ago?), playing pretty intensively. Factorio crashed again just now while AFK. Log is attached, let me know if you need anything from me.

Update: I rebooted my computer, and the problem seems to have gone away...

Edit: Had the game on most of the evening, no crash. So apparently it was indeed my computer being weird. Sorry!
