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!

You make me feel special :)

Here's a link to the save file:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/b2cay1a8o91qik5/_autosave1_backup.zip?dl=0
[e: just copied the autosave to _autosave1_backup.zip and replaced the link, I was afraid that dropbox might automatically track a new version of the file]

I'll try to ...

Probably not really relevant anymore, but the game just crashed again while I was AFK (so certainly not walking around with spidertron). Log attached.

(edit: and another crash now. So it seems something is actually wrong)

Another crash happened about 15 minutes later, log attached.

I've been playing over 5 years now, always with experimental updates, and AFAIK this is the first time the game crashed on me.

I've attached the log, I'm not really sure what caused it. I was restocking while in spidertron, had just picked up some engines and walked to the rails to place a new ...

I like everything except the double row of tabs in the crafting menu.
There are 6 options (in vanilla; 4 craft categories, character, and logistics), I don't think 6 options need a two-level menu structure.

Most annoyingly/confusingly, one of the craft categories is called logistics. Thus, when ...

I would like to propose some new circuit signals to help monitor and control esp. fluid and heat flow:

- Pumping speed signal: Pumps have a new (ish?) feature where you see actual "pumping speed" in user interface (i.e. pumping speed: 1259/12000). It would be nice if this could be measured on the ...

So it seems like even with the one place buffer in front of loading stations you are subject to the Thundering Herd problem (lots of trains all head for one enabled station; one or two get there disabling it; rest of Herd charges off to next enabled station, probably on other side of map; rinse ...
