Great update guys looking forward to next week!

Glad you're sticking with quality as it is, seems like a cool mechanic.

Ooft this was a divisive feature! For anyone around when they added bots and beacons and modules, were they equally divisive? I got this game after all those things were in place. Hahahahahahahhahahahaha :: deep breath :: hahahahahahahahah. You *still* occasionally hear someone say how cheaty bots ...

Ooft this was a divisive feature! For anyone around when they added bots and beacons and modules, were they equally divisive? I got this game after all those things were in place. To add my opinion to the mix, in short I think it'll be fine lol. Min maxers and megabasers will find ways to maximize l...

I have around 1500 hours in game and just learned a few weeks ago you can add buttons to the right of the quickbar at the bottom. Like you're not limited to just the default of 4.

I think factorio.com looks fantastic. It looks like the in game UI. And the cool easter egg of launching the rocket at the bottom of the page is a nice touch. Lastly it stands out amongst all the other websites that look the same i.e look like a giant advert: https://www.microsoft.com https://www.ms...

Well right now im trying to make a 1kspm module. I've seen others do this. Just plop down the (usually pretty massive) blueprint, feed it resources and it produces/consumes science. The only thing external to this module will be power generation and mining. These things could constitute a megabase i...

Thanks for the responses guys, i'll give this a shot!

So im looking to get a railway station that will enable itself if there is 16k or more ore in the chests (easy enough). The issue is when a patch runs dry there may be say 15k ore in the chests. And the train will never collect this. How can I make it so that trains come to collect ore when there is...

Ah thanks for that, found the setting. For the docker container it's in server-settings.json. Permissions looks like a cool feature. Any permissions in particular I should disable for a public non passworded server without crippling legit players ability to play? I would say least disable deconstru...

Hi guys I was wondering if it was possible to configure the headless server to do more than 5 autosaves and maybe also configure the time between them? Say do 24 autosaves and do one every hour or something? P.S If anyone has any other tips about stopping griefers or making it more difficult for th...

Hi guys I was wondering if it was possible to configure the headless server to do more than 5 autosaves and maybe also configure the time between them? Say do 24 autosaves and do one every hour or something? I host a server and it looks like someone showed up and wrecked the factory on it, im guessi...

I think the menu simulations are fantastic tbh. Wouldn't change a thing. I saw the the same thing done in OpenRA and it was very cool there too.

Over the past couple days there have been griefers in a few of the multiplayer games that I've played. Almost all of them were on one or more of these lists. Unfortunately, these lists were disorganized, so I wrote a script which ingests banlists from all of the major servers in this thread and pro...

Love the pfr. I go from weak slow guy with no power to apex predator with lasers coming out of every direction and a force field. Thank you pfr

With the help of multiple spidertrons and the follow command I have brought rocket and nuclear justice to the homes of those godless creatures commonly known as "biters". On deathworld with rampant mod that's a lot of justice.

No regrets!

Does anyone have any experience with RAM Speeds beyoned 3600? There are (expensive) sets available with speeds of up to 4400 MhZ, will they bring a similar speed bost as going from 3200 to 3600? I'm currently planning to build a new PC with a Ryzen 5900, but since it probably won't be available for...

Each power pole and substation is limited to 5 copper wire connections. If you exceed that, then the connection is not made.

Ah interesting, that'll be it then

I've noticed this phenomenon as well, it happens with large power poles and substations too. I don't know if it's something im doing wrong but they sometimes just don't connect. It doesn't happen often though.

A stronger gun turret!

I like everything I just read I will wait patiently until the expansions release. No rush tbh because im still 100% hooked on regular factorio!
